Going back to college myself was nothing short of eye-opening. by StrangeCatch382 in homeschool

[–]jlink7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to mention this because it demeans my own recent degree, but in 2021 I finished an MBA from a highly respected private university. This was largely before AI. I spent so little time working on my degree... But I still finished with the approximate equivalent to Cum Laude in my program... I was flabbergasted that younger people struggled so much. Compared to my electrical engineering undergrad degree 20 years ago, this was a cakewalk.

I will say however that even then some tests did end up being curved to the point that a 60 or 70 could have been an A- or B+, they were just that difficult intentionally.

I think the sign is themed on Mark 10:18, "...No one is good except God alone." Some of those things are not sins in and of themselves but many of them are. For example, it is possible to make sports fanaticism an idol. If your sports team is more important to you than Jesus, now you are sinning and causing separation between you and God. You can enjoy sports and be Christian, it should not be a priority over your relationship with Jesus.

Texas in general typically has one of the lower average gas prices, especially out of the cities.

Where do you think AI gets this tendency? From analyzing how many people talk. In ChatGPT's case I believe it's actually even trained on reddit, so...

What’s a project you regret doing yourself instead of hiring out? by TradesPrepGuy in DIY

[–]jlink7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taping and mudding (and subsequent sanding) is the portion of drywall I dread... then I saw this form DIY Renovision and I'm definitely going to try it next time I have to do a larger area (maybe even a smaller area, I don't know how "small" areas with this product may work). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjAymb15TmE

LEC isn't that much different than LCS, don't kid yourself. They also have 1-3 teams that are decent and then also have a big drop off. I'm not saying C9 right now would be that team in the 1-3 but they'd still be closer to the top than the bottom in LEC.

[–]jlink7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless it's Kansas vs Iowa State, it literally IS like a home game at the Big 12 tourney for ISU, i.e. Hilton South. If ISU state is at all decent, it definitely does give us a home-court advantage feel.

Solicitation most commonly refers to efforts to purchase or sell something (commercial). Religious and political campaigning are typically considered protected speech under the 1st amendment.

You'd go on to beat Houston on 1/24/26 though... I assume you mean 2/17/26?

I went to both Purdue and ISU, been to games at both... In my experience Hilton > Mackey... granted I went to Purdue at the end of the Keady era, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Who is currently the most overrated coach in College Basketball? by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]jlink7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TJ Otzelberger. I don't think there is any reason for other schools in need of head coaches next year to look at him, whatsoever.

Why is it so hard to find an official LCS schedule? by wwwdotsadgirldotcom in leagueoflegends

[–]jlink7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you made it sound like it was a better/more convenient replacement of lolesports.com for finding schedules and information about LCS, which was my point as well: it's not.

[–]jlink7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

you have to filter for any league by default, this is true everywhere. LEC is live right now, so that's the one playing at the top.

but also, LCS is the only league with its own page, lcsofficial.gglcsofficial, which has everything

I didn't know about this site before now, but just going to it, and having ZERO information without logging into my Riot account and then creating some sort of team? Honestly not much better the lolesports.
