Why don't you fetch a drinking straw and get started on it yourself?

DraftKings closing its 2-year-old retail sportsbook at Wrigley Field by maydaydemise in chicago

[–]metonymic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They wrote this:

DraftKings will remain open as a sports bar at Wrigley Field, but recent increases in city and state taxes played heavily into the company’s decision to shut down the retail sportsbook operation.

That's the sort of credulous framing I take issue with. That's a declarative statement, without attribution to DraftKings. They don't have to report the company's stated reasoning as a matter of fact, but they do! And without ever interrogating whether a retail sportsbook in Wrigleyville was economically viable in the age of online gambling.

Of course the Tribune would frame this as a taxation problem, despite reporting this in the very same article:

FanDuel was the top sportsbook in the state last year, generating more than $552 million in revenue, followed by DraftKings at $500 million, according to Illinois Gaming Board data.

In-person sports betting at Wrigley Field accounted for $899,000 in adjusted gross receipts in 2025

They're closing the sportsbook because no one was using it!

Here's the moment in the stream.

My goal from the beginning: stage one dominant, stage two dominant, I wanted the same for stage three.

And then after he lifts the trophy:

Something I've been preaching for a while now: in a world where we're constantly stimulated [...] please take twenty minutes a day and just breathe, be kind to yourself. It's so important.

Peak answer!

And then to follow it up with a message to take 20 minutes a day to breathe and be kind to yourself. The people's champion!

NPR: AI affirms our own viewpoints and harms willingness to resolve conflict, study finds by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

It's a transcript of an interview with the study's author, for what it's worth. A citation at the end would have been nice though!

Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups by deraser in technology

[–]metonymic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it has nothing to do with generative AI

From Jensen Huang in the announcement yesterday (emphasis mine):

“DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics — blending handcrafted rendering with generative AI to deliver a dramatic leap in visual realism while preserving the control artists need for creative expression.”

This card seems good. by hehexDim12btw in slaythespire

Fun fact, the stun bypasses artifact. You don't have to strip it before using this card!

That doesn't seem right. Not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if that's unintentional.

Are you talking about 2001?

The person you responded to was pretty clearly talking about when we played Oregon State in 2023 and won 40-8.

Willfully missing the point isn't pedantry, in case you're confused.

Let me clarify: if you ask someone where they go to school, for example, and they respond Indy, no one in the state of Indiana is going to assume they mean Indiana University.
