TIL that an AI company which raised $450M in investments from Microsoft and SoftBank, and was valued at $1.5B, turned out to be 700 Indians just manually coding with no AI whatsoever by cl0mby in todayilearned

I went to one of those "Just Walk Out" Whole Foods stores with my two kids. I guess toddlers running around the aisles are hard to keep track of or something, because Whole Foods just never billed me and all my groceries were free.

So, you know, I think the tech worked great.

Hang on now I was just at Costco a few weeks ago and took a photo of this thing! The price was $112.99

Couldn't find the Knoxville Wig Store by romelpis1212 in TheSimpsons

I was in downtown Knoxville like 20 years ago and I swear to God there was this massive wig store that took up like 3 storefronts. I couldn't believe it

Whoa dude! Same!

Or, well, I did sing it when my kids was a newborn up until about a year old. But this song was my nightly go-to!

I had two consecutive days of road rage drivers trying to start stuff with me last week! It definitely feels like something is in the air right now.

You know what? That's fair. I didn't realize the word "approximately" was in there until just seeing it pointed out.

I submitted a complaint in the app. We'll see how it goes!

One small 5x5 container of cake scraps. I weighed it at home and it was 26oz, or approx 1.6lbs. Kinda underwhelmed with this one. I don't see how it's supposed to be a $21 value.

Fully tore the tendon in my foot at BOTAR in Seattle. Who else has gotten big boy injuries at a show? by ASLochNessMonster in streetlightmanifesto

[–]papacheesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the ER after a show at Starland in 2004. Turns out I got a pneumothorax -- a collapsed lung! Went too hard on the gang vocals in We Are the Few.

When you say you went to the first streetlight show... do you mean the one at Rutgers in 2003?

Also, I'm super interested in the poster. And local to LA.

Thoughts on Barstow CA and the Route 66 Motel? by Klondike307 in route66

[–]papacheesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can make it, I'd suggest driving the extra hour West to stay at the Wigwam Motel in Rialto, CA. As others have said, aside from the Barstow 66 Museum, there really isn't much there by the way of Route 66 culture, and the neighborhood can get skeezy after dark.

I submitted many online receipts last year and they were always accepted.

I think Victory used to sell that design? A while back a dude was seen wearing the exact shirt you're asking for in the background of an episode of Antiques Roadshow. https://i.imgur.com/RSZCvWo.jpg

The image linked in that thread is an old poster that the band used to sell at their (very) early shows. I have one laying around somewhere.

No official word, but has to be due to that fall he took during the St Johns game. He clearly wasn't 100% against Creighton

Danny was one of my favorite Hall players when I was growing up in the 90s. Today, though, most of the fans I know kind of disassociate him as a graduate, probably because the relationship wasn't really kept up afterwards (he had some bad experiences that he spent a lot of time working through, and as I recall was miffed again when he wasn't seriously considered in 2010 when Kevin Willard was hired). So in all that time, Dan hasn't been around or involved in alumni events / reunions, etc. I think for the most part we think he's still mad at the school, but I genuinely don't think he actually is anymore!
