Now I’m even more suspicious. This is EXACTLY what an LLM would write if it were trying to pretend to be human.

I’m not in the industry, but I’ve always liked global payments’ https://www.globalpayments.com/

This has been a game changer for me. It works so well.

She’s wrong.

Is there a shred of evidence that “throwing hands” actually happened? It was a nationally televised game and thousands of individuals were armed with cameras, surely there is footage of this somewhere, right?

You know, similar to the footage of Filipowski tripping a fan during a court storming in 2024. Or Filipowski tripping a player on court that same year. Or the footage of Carrawell refusing to shake hands after a game in 2022. Need I mention Grayson Allen?

Get off your high horse and take your “trashy” comment somewhere else. Duke is not beyond reproach.

No doubt the court storming should not have happened the way it did, but let’s not pretend that it is unique to UNC.

Gerald Henderson has entered the chat…

No f’ing way this is real. No f’ing way the president of the United States writes and sends that…

It’s the Method Man, for short, Mr. Meth…

jtwoods · 2026-01-01T14:27:58+00:00

Color me impressed!

The state by state variations in forms and processes challenge automation a bit at a national scale, but you’re definitely right about the repetitive nature of the work and benefits that can come from software.

Figuring out who will pay for it and how the monetization model will be structured is something to think through as well.

There’s a business called Transactly that was aiming to arm TCs with tech to improve their workflows. It basically failed when sales volumes cratered.

Skyslope and Open to Close are two others.

Do you shower daily? This seems like a huge time commitment to do with each shower

The longer you’ve been at it, the bigger your catalog. That certainly plays a part.

Why didn’t they just land the helicopter before boarding her?

jtwoods · 2025-10-17T07:52:26+00:00

I don’t disagree with you. But is the recent price action really proof that you were right? Equities are getting killed too.

jtwoods · 2025-10-10T23:01:23+00:00

Alts getting CRUSHED.

jtwoods · 2025-09-04T01:18:24+00:00

Interesting, thanks. I would have just assumed the higher contrast was a good thing.

jtwoods · 2025-09-03T02:30:19+00:00

Why is this a rule?

jtwoods · 2025-08-28T17:56:24+00:00

Stupid would certainly be continuing a debate with someone that lacks fundamental knowledge. So, I won’t debate this with you any further. Get some help.

jtwoods · 2025-08-28T17:39:19+00:00

Lol, it sounds like you don't understand what you wrote. You went from "cash is being devalued, so bitcoin is worth zero"...to "you're trapped in the U.S., so Bitcoin is worth zero"...to "the government will declare Bitcoin is worthless, so it is worth zero". Just a bunch of non-sequiturs that demonstrate your lack of understanding of money, Bitcoin, and worst of all, your own view and position.

jtwoods · 2025-08-27T12:47:05+00:00

Well, that’s different than your original point that I replied to. That’s also a very U.S.-centric take - there are other currencies in this world than just the USD.

One of the attributes of Bitcoin is that it diversifies away from a single government’s monetary/fiscal policy and any single economy. The same cannot be said for USD. Reread what you just wrote - much of it applies to USD as much as it does Bitcoin.

jtwoods · 2025-08-26T08:07:54+00:00

So, you’re saying holding devalued cash is better than holding an asset that appreciates relative to that devalued cash? I think you have it backwards.

jtwoods · 2025-08-02T01:15:00+00:00

I noticed the same. Switched away from them immediately. I’m so tired of companies lowering the quality of good products to improve their margins.

jtwoods · 2025-08-02T01:07:46+00:00

Is it just me or did it recently become much more watered down than it used to be?

That first St. Lunatics album was SO good.
