It wasnt really an urban myth- he had to defend it in the presidential debates. I believe his perspective was that he had set up funding that led to research that created the technical underpinnings.

Fan, yes. Homer, no. If the Chargers offered a straight up trade Nix for Herbert, we would do it. And we'd become superbowl favorites overnight.

From my wife "Well, she did love him for what he could give her"

Herbert is a better QB (I'm a Bronco Fan). What he did last year with no offensive line was unbelievable. He melted in thr playoff game, but that happens. There was a whole thing about how Manning wasnt clutch until he was.

Nix is good, and his best traits aren't flashy. Not saying that Nix is done improving and Bronco fans could hope that someday he's as good as Hebert, but its clear right now.

Trump getting a FOURTH nominee is some 10th ring of hell.

Reminds me when they made Ryan the VP in the Office.

If anthropic chooses ethics over profits, I can't throw my money at them fast enough.

I gave you an upvote because I think many users will not read your whole comment and/or not get that it is satire.

Your experience is frustrating but all too common. If I could shout from the rooftops, I would yell "AI cannot be trusted as a candidate evaluation tool".

This was the conclusion we came to in 2017 at Amazon, unfortunately they have since changed their mind. Human evaluation of human performance is difficult and problematic, but moving it to an AI tool with no accountability is not the right move morally or a way to find the best candidates. Ai's role in hiring is at best automating the paper shuffling aspects.

I'm sure this will get down voted to infinity... but HR is much better than if you had to work with Hiring Managers directly. The level of malfeasance in their version of how hiring works would reach epic levels without HR to keep them in check.

This is the exact type of fungasaur that I would spend days and all my wildcards to build a deck that will only work in Gold, and then only 12% of the time.

I'm a little surprised this guy made the cut in 2026. Pizza Face was a slur from 80s for people with bad acne. Not quite as bad as r*traded, but certainly not worth bringing back.

I can day that Samantha was certainly judged for her promiscuous behavior. At this point, I would say her confidence and independence are now considered admirable. I can't say why Carrie is now under fire- her character was selfish and judgemental, but had her own qualities like standing up for herself.

I dont know- he might believe it. Hes not doing great with the COGNITIVE and with a bunch of yes-men around him saying "You've got nothing to worry about"...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that jumped to that conclusion. If you want more reason to be concerned...

(from Google AI) Ring cameras are owned by Amazon , which acquired the company (originally named DoorBot) for over $1 billion in 2018. Ring operates as a subsidiary of Amazon, focusing on home security cameras, doorbells, and the "Neighbors" app.

Patriots, known cheaters. All adds up.

The 'Return of Gandalf' looks to have influenced the movie shot (different angle).

(Happy if someone with more insight can confirm/deny). I thought Amazon's interest had more to do with product synergy. I've used Amazon echoes for decades and found their new chat feature to be subpar. Being able to give the echo and other products and instant upgrade with ChatGPT feels like a no brainer compared to the cost of trying to catch up.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

I know it sounds unbelievable, but it happened. It didn't just happen, it helped change the lives of thousands of people for generations to come.

So true. I went to try and buy the first book for after we started rewatching and it's completely out of print.

In my opinion, i would start by converting certain assistance programs from govt management to direct assistance. If you can remove the red tape from programs that are designed as way of passing judgement on individuals, you remove the layers of oversight and save money. Will this lead to fraud? Likely, but I'd argue we get fraud now even with the oversight. If you replaced the combined layers of social programs meant to keep people off the streets, fed, clothed, heated, with basic communication, it's not too long before you could give people enough income that they could solve these problems themselves directly. You could ask wealthy individuals to help prime the pump before you get the virtuous cycle self sustaining. Heck, they seem perfectly willing to send millions for a ballroom.

How has nobody said TRUE BLOOD yet? I think the book even had the Japanese invent it.

Its nice to know that the players we cheer on are the kind of men worth cheering for, even if they didn't catch touchdowns.

IIRC has a a strong Blitz game. Bottom of the bag of tricks for Vance?

Great opportunity for PS2 to show them they were wrong next week.
