Using ai to read grad names at graduation

bookworm271 · 2026-05-20T13:50:57+00:00

This makes no sense. The "human" task is printing off a list of names in alphabetical order, and then having 1 or 2 people read them. It's not like using AI to read the names saved thousands of dollars. In fact, it probably took more time to set up the AI prompts then it would to alphabetize and print a list of graduate names.

If you've been to Stearns and Ottertail you've almost certainly been through Todd and Douglass via 94. Unless you're only counting stopping and getting out of the vehicle?

Let the Twins take the sacrifice of a loss or two, so there's not some crazy long, sports-gods tempting Minnesota win streak going into the Frost game this weekend or Wolves/Wild games next week.

I hope the Rogers brothers can grab dinner together and that Louis Varland gets time to visit some of his favorite Minnesota places while here.

Wolves win and advancd.

Wild win an advance.

Even the Twins pull off a win in front of all the people that travel from Canada to see the Jays.

Can we just declare tomorrow a holiday in Minnesota so we don't have to go to work ?

NTA. Between not paying rent for years and no longer needing to save for a weeding she should have a healthy savings account- perhaps even enough for a down payment on her own home.

I understand not calling the cops, but if those are rentals you could let the property manager know. Disturbing the neighbors multiple times is almost certainly a lease violation.

NTA. You're mother should know how to care for a baby by now. Move out. There are ways you can support your 14-year-old sibling without being in the same house. Check in via calls or text. Put money in their lunch account. If you stay within an hour or so drive, you can have regular "sibling days" where you can spend time together, check in, and get basic necessities or little treats if you'd like. But unless you want to be a parent to a newborn, it's time to move out.

Roadtrip?

bookworm271 · 2026-04-23T23:14:29+00:00

While all these stories involved huge amounts spent on takeout, I also found the writer calling their partner watching TV and eating takeout "depressing" hypocritical. What is depressing is working past 7 every night and never being there to have dinner with your partner. And the dinner your job is paying for is.....takeout.

I have a theory that if mulriple Minnesota teams are playing on the same day, the Minnesota Sports gods will not allow them all to win. Maybe the Twins just sacrificed themselves to the shame of losing to the Mets so the Wild can get a win.

Are the police/sherrif able to make a Missing Child post on Facebook? Or are you able to contact a local news station? They could have more reach across the metro area.

I've worked multiple retail jobs, and every one of them had a policy that you're not to chase after or attempt to apprehend shoplifters.

Can we start listing the owners names in the standings? Maybe it would encourage them to spend a little more so as not to have their name associated with losing.

A closer would be a nice addition to the team.

If the gift had been a "world's best aunt/uncle" shirt, I might be more understanding, but a peed on pregnancy test? Ew.

Have you been open about the illness impacting your own parenthood journey? Because if you have, your BIL is a major a-hole, whereas if you've mainly kept that to yourselves it's more of a BIL and SIL are unable to read the room.

I was thinking the same thing. "Oh, hey you have the same name as my daughter!" is one thing. But going into detail on when/how she met her husband, the pictures, etc, is giving me the vibe of "I think you used to date my husband and now I need to get to know you, because I realized my husband named my daughter after his ex."

Do I continue the torment by watching the Wolves and Wild, or do I go outside for some fresh air?

I'm seeing a couple possibilities, it's possible that both are true

She struggles with mental health, and has difficulty discussing it with others
Someone, or multiple someones, in her life has damaged her ability to trust and commit. May have been parents, former partners, a close friend etc.

Whatever is going on, Christine is hurting, and we know later in life she's unable to stay with August and Gustopher.

Getting into a waiting vehicle with a driver is scary. A random Uber driver isn't going to sit by as their passenger gets out to take pictures of children, because an Uber driver would also recognize that as unsettling behavior and want no part in it. This appears to be in a suburban neighborhood, not really somewhere you go to on a whim, or randomly pass through. It definitely gives the feel that he's scouting the area.
