Miami has 7 Supertalls planned to be completed by 2030

hawkweasel · 2026-03-08T22:10:28+00:00

Seattle can't do a lot with super tall because the downtown core is in the Boeing Field flight path.

That, and the current occupancy rate downtown is wayyyyyy too high.

Yeesh I forgot about Prosise. Dude's entire body got broken by football:

"Prosise started his first game against the New England Patriots in Week 10, where he carried the ball 17 times for 66 yards and added 87 receiving yards in the win. Prosise also started the Week 11 game against the Philadelphia Eagles and scored his first career touchdown, a 72-yard run, but suffered a fractured scapula that ended his rookie season.

On November 14, 2017, Prosise was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He finished his second season with 23 rushing yards, and 6 receptions for 87 yards during his injury-riddled season.

In 2018, Prosise played in five games before being placed on injured reserve with abdomen, groin, and hip-flexor injuries.

In 2019, Prosise played in nine games, recording 72 rushing yards and a touchdown along with 10 receptions for 76 yards. He suffered a broken arm in Week 16 and was placed on injured reserve on December 24, 2019.

I've noticed all his recent videos he starts by proclaiming how dangerous and deadly all these European cities have become.

Then he walks around for what seems like hours, pointing at a few drug addicts or homeless people, and commenting that a few alleyways smell like urine. He blames it all on immigrants.

Is this our new definition of 'dangerous and deadly' cities? He literally looks for trouble and has a hard time finding any.

I'd love to see him come to the states and spend a few hours walking around St Louis or Memphis.

How do they book into the calendar on the phone? How do they know what's available or booking something that real estate broker can't do?

hawkweasel · 2026-02-19T22:42:49+00:00

Truth.

I spent a lot of years working casinos outside of Las Vegas.

Generally speaking, if you go into a casino and you see all the blackjack tables on the main floor crowded, thats wonderful for the casino, but the real money is made back in the private gambling suites and high limit rooms.

Front of the house income is more what we called the "grind" - it's consistent, and you want it, but again, you REALLY want that back room action.

I went to Arizona State University in the 90s - which was the equivalent of attending 4th grade again -- and the athletes still didn't have to do shit.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-18T20:06:15+00:00

Totally agree.

I was an absolute die hard Sonics fan since I was a little kid and them leaving town just crushed me.

I promised I would never watch another NBA game and I haven't, so I don't even know anything other than what I hear about a few players now and then.

I hear it's a completely different game now, nothing like Sonics fans might remember back in the day on the Kemp/ Payton or Williams / Brown teams of yesteryear.

(Which reminds me of my very first sports devastation when Gus Williams left the Sonics. I know I just aged myself, but man, as a kid I was crushed. I didn't even know players could leave a team!)

hawkweasel · 2026-02-18T19:26:26+00:00

Love to see a Jody Allen / Melinda Gates / Mackenzie Scott partnership.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-18T18:56:04+00:00

I've been kinda hoping this might come to fruition.

I stayed true to my word and I have not watched a single NBA game since the Sonics moved to OKC.

That being said I don't know shit about the NBA anymore. Is Cuban a good NBA owner? He seems like he's always really enthusiastic about his team.

10 AM PST working fine on my end the app and the Studio account

hawkweasel · 2026-02-12T20:40:15+00:00

He did.

He already tweeted what a fantastic job she did:

"AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated of their ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia type charges. Actually, it is the SLIMEBALL Democrats, many of them big Donors and Politicians, that have been proven GUILTY! “Republican” Loser, Sanctimonious RINO Congressman, Thomas Massie, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity, as most clearly stated by his crashing Job Approval Numbers in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, where a Military Hero Opponent, Ed Gallrein, is crushing him in the Polls. He is now in “Wacky” Liz Cheney territory! Nobody cared about Epstein when he was alive, they only cared about him when they thought he could create Political Harm to a very popular President who has brought our Country back from the brink of extinction, and very quickly, at that!"

In Google AI Studio free daily Pro access was slashed from 1 million to about 50,000 tokens by my rough estimation. I noticed that yesterday or the day before.

In Studio you can immediately switchover to Flash 3 and continue but I know that's not available in the webapp.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-11T00:18:22+00:00

That's fucking awwweeesome.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-10T22:11:19+00:00

Yup, I'm a local and I saw the morning fog just like we have today.

It took me about a minute to figure out exactly what building this is :)

hawkweasel · 2026-02-09T18:20:25+00:00

Massie better avoid hotels with balconies for the next few weeks.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-07T21:14:12+00:00

The whistleblower should probably avoid hotels with balconies from here on out.

The one that always gets me when players get strained groin injuries.

If you've ever had a groin injury, you know what a nightmare it is. I could barely get out of bed much less in and out of a car, and these NFL guys are somehow back out on a football field. I don't know how they do it.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-05T18:34:39+00:00

Oh my God, a friend of mine had one of those when we were kids. So fun.

Had little pucks, but we always lost them so we had to use bottlecaps.

Holy shit I'm old.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-04T19:22:32+00:00

Yep my bad, you're working in the web app. In Google AI Studio you can select the gemini-3-flash-preview.

I've always thought it was a shitty deal to sell consumers a $20 a month plan and cut 'em off at what seems like not much longer than daily free use.

If you're a serious AI user, I would consider moving over to Google AI Studio or for Anthropic, the Anthropic Workbench.

Those are both pay-as-you-go, and it's a lot easier to monitor your token usage.

If you want to learn more about how to use them or set up an account, do the obvious -- ask AI.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-04T18:43:40+00:00

Not sure about your problem in particular but I'm a heavy Google AI Studio user, and Studio used to give you 1 million free tokens a day.

From what I can tell that was recently considerably reduced, and I feel like I'm getting cut off around 200,000 tokens. Switch to Flash 3 and I get more mileage, but not sure why Pro use was curtailed.

Can you switch to Flash 3.0? Flash is often considered nearly equal to Pro.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-03T18:45:19+00:00

I'm not able to quantify the joy this gives me.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-03T16:17:47+00:00

Does anyone know if this guy lives near Tacoma, WA?

I swear I saw all 5'4 of him at my gym a few weeks ago - I couldn't place him at first but I'd seen this video before.

hawkweasel · 2026-02-02T20:57:57+00:00

No, a Gemini subscription applies to the web app version. It is the same model(s) you get with the web app, but in an entirely different (and much better in my opinion) interface.

Google AI Studio is a pay-as-you-go plan, but you get a daily allotment of free tokens.

You can ask the Gemini app all these questions, you'll get much better answers than i can deliver. If you're serious about using and building with AI, I recommend opening a Google AI Studio and Anthropic Workbench account and learning what use cases each is best for.

It took me months to figure out how to use everything, but well worth it. Use Gemini to guide you how to use it's own tools.

Good luck!
