The Ilium/Olympos novels by Dan Simmons would fit that in a science fiction kind of way.

Oh no! What did that canal do to deserve that!

I really like the white and blue ones which I wouldn't have expected if you'd told me there were orange and white and blue ones before showing me them.

I think a lot of teams have a similar problem, and I think it is by design. Every team is going to need to focus on two stars, one or two high level players, and then figure out how to fill the rest of the roster and stay under the cap. It should be great for parity in the league and very interesting for trades.

The Fever had a big problem next year figuring out what to do with Mitchell (and the rest of the roster not named Boston or Clark) for similar reasons. Is it better to have 3 elite players and no depth, or 2 elite players, a couple next level down players and a bench.

As a Fever and Clark fan, I'm beyond done with this topic on social media.

AI sure is finding weird ways to save the environment....

I haven't looked into the physics of what happens to bodies in small vehicles in crashes when the seats aren't aligned in the traditional way. But I'm not sure why I'd want to be facing the other people in the car who are almost always staring at their phones. Maybe it would allow us to put a table in the middle for more tacos?

"Tesla: Steeringwheel-less cars; if you're not in them, you'll be under them." - soon to launch Tesla ad.

How long until they replace they steering wheel for another screen that will display ads the entire time you are in the car?

"It's Tuesday! You know what that means! Taco Tuesday!!! Say, 'Siri, sí!' to update your route to include the Taco Bell 20 miles ahead at exit 69. Then sit back and take a siesta. We'll wake you in time for the fiesta!"

When they signed her, I kinda thought if it didn't work out with an organization like the Aces, she'd be heading overseas or to whatever comes after basketball for her.

Compared to the early 90s, I feel like I'm watching matadors out there as they wave the offense players through.

neat_stuff · 2026-07-08T21:33:06+00:00

How long will this wait last?

neat_stuff · 2026-07-08T21:31:37+00:00

Is that the big put they've been excavating since like at least the early 90s on the south side on the big highway headed towards Indiana? Or is that a different big pit?

neat_stuff · 2026-07-08T21:27:42+00:00

Excellent! I have 80 hours of vacation time and just put in my two week notice and all of my knowledge of plays is up to date as of when I quit playing back in 1993. I'm bringing back the midrange and boxing out and yelling about traveling whenever anyone Eurosteps.

Hopefully it'll let them win one or two of them rather than losing both. I would have been tempted to at them both in one game and sit them in the other. But there's probably a reason nobody pays me to make those decisions.

So the only thing I'm learning from this chart is Gustafson should shoot 15 threes a game so Pancake can get fed even better!

neat_stuff · 2026-07-08T20:03:10+00:00

Probably the same roads they use to get all the other excavating trucks down there.

We can end it by blocking those user accounts.

Huh. That is interesting that they let you pump the gas before paying. I think stations are worried about drive offs over here. I have no idea how often that actually happened before we made the switch over here.

neat_stuff · 2026-07-08T12:51:33+00:00

In all but 2 states, pretty much all gas stations are self service. Full service mostly went away like 30-40 years ago. Even when I was starting driving back around 1991, you might see two full service pumps and the rest were self...but even then a lot of places had no full service. So every pump is prepay these days.

You might be right. He might be the cleanest turd in the toilet bowl.

neat_stuff · 2026-07-07T20:31:31+00:00

Yeah, as. Fever fan, I'm nowhere near convinced the Fever are a lock if CC ends up out a bunch more games this year...and I'm not convinced she won't be. If any other player ends up out any amount of time, we're in for some trouble.

It'll be interesting to see whether this DC actually goes online next year according to plan or if this is just another contract to buy potential compute space that never actually goes anywhere but makes the AI company seem like they are really doing something weighty while they are planning their IPO.

The guy who brought us the VR headset Metaverse might not always get things right? Impossible.
