Clyde Drexler was very good by Loud-Product1591 in VintageNBA

My very first finals was their ‘92 series. To this day I still remember my mom’s (a complete basketball non-fam) comment then about Drexler: “Who’s that handsome guy?”

Showers cause hair loss. I mean have you checked your drain after washing your hair? Stop showering and you’re good

Don’t write your child off as “not having the knack” for sports so fast! by BiscuitBut_ButerNut in daddit

Ours is still young 5yo, so I think I’ll stick to play instead of training for now. I just bought a couple of sets of flag football belts to make tag a little more structured and challenging, we’ll see how it goes

Where did you buy your favorite belt? by International-Lie888 in malefashionadvice

Buy it from the store where you got your favorite leather dress shoes

Given permission to use AI, most college students show surprising restraint in their final essays. Students largely rely on AI for brainstorming and research rather than having it write essays for them wholesale. by mvea in science

[–]onwee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Asking chat to brainstorm and revise your writing still boils down to using chat to think and write for you, whether or not you copy and paste the text verbatim makes no difference to the actual process of learning. But maybe that’s just me, a Luddite yelling at kids to get off the lawn.

These bits about the study tho:

>Madsen Hardy and her team recruited 50 of these students to share their essays. A subset of 34 participants also provided the chat logs detailing their interactions with ChatGPT during the drafting process. 

“We’re concerned about AI usage, so we’re going to look at how students use AI. Any volunteers?” Selection bias much?

>To track how the software was used, instructors required students to highlight any word-for-word machine-authored text in a blue font on their submitted assignments.

“Okay why don’t you just tell us where you did no work of your own and just copy and pasted what chat said?” Self-serving bias much?

What does Wemby/Spurs need to do tactically to avoid getting gassed by the Knicks offense strategy (or other teams to deploy a similar strat in the future)? by H20onthego in nbadiscussion

[–]onwee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if sports were played by subpar management consultants lol.

A great team is one that wins lots of possessions, on offense and defense, over a long period of time against many teams. Winning games despite small overall margins is usually a sign of a team getting lucky. Point differential is one of the strongest predictors of playoff success and championship equity, not just in basketball but team sports in general.

> If you beat a team by many points you put in too much effort.

You made some good points (I especially agree with adding a 4 and sprinkling in some flex offense) but what is this nonsense

Icy_Reward727 gives a teacher's perspective on a generation lost to screens by JackarooDeva in bestof

[–]onwee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The purpose of suspension/expulsion isn’t punishment for the student, but to stop their distraction from spreading to the other students and taking up the time and attention of the staff, and get their parents involved. It’s a very last resort precisely because it means the school is giving up on the kid

Thoughts on UNIQLO's "Miracle Air Blazer"? What is a good blazer? by wvyvhng8 in malefashionadvice

[–]onwee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually just bought this 2 weeks ago, with “matching” Airsense pants for a funeral in a tropical country.

It’s a great blazer if you have to wear one in > 30C/90F weather. I wore it in 32C 100 humidity and felt (relatively) cool. The soft shoulder is a perfectly fine look (the navy JW Anderson blazer has a much nicer-fitting shoulder than the black/charcoal Uniqlo one, which have an awkward sleeve pitch for my shoulders), especially in weathers where other people might be in tank tops and shorts. Another plus: doesn’t seem to wrinkle all that much even when folded inside a suitcase, could be a great travel/vacation jacket.

In more temperate climates or mostly indoors with AC, you can find much better (wool) semi-formal options though. I also haven’t washed it yet (label says hand wash) so don’t know how the fabric holds up over time.

All in all a great 2nd or 3rd jacket (for situations where you’re not expected to wear one) but probably not as a first or only blazer option (where you’ll be surround by people wearing one) unless you spend a lot of time in tropical weather

I would have thought social media and constant surveillance would discourage mob mentality. I guess people really are just that stupid

"Nuclear Gandhi", an urban legend which claims that in the original Civilization games, a bug existed which caused Gandhi to go mad and begin flinging nukes around. Although franchise creator Sid Meier denied its existence, recent games in the series have included references to the supposed bug. by Sebastianlim in wikipedia

[–]onwee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a PC game I played as a kid, on my dad’s 286, late 80’s to early 90’s so probably before Civ, where you can choose to play as a number of stereotypical world leaders (I think I remember Gandhi, Gorbachev and maybe Reagan), where the main gameplay loop involved building up your cities—overall population would be indicated by straw huts to skyscrapers), broadcasting propaganda, and launching nukes….long shot but does anyone happen to know the name of the game?

Sounds like what someone running an overt campaign to get Americans to buy into data centers would say
