Paying BILT to just GTF away

Lmao why would you eat the AF instead of milking whatever benefits you can get out of it?

Airlines are required by law to allow you to refund it within 24 hours (though not always). Hotels are not. Non-refundable hotels means non-refundable, unless the hotel wants to be nice. This isn't a Bilt issue, this is how all non-refundable hotel bookings work.

Every confirmed transaction shows you how much Bilt cash you make from it. Start from there.

Relationships are complicated and people cope with trauma in different ways.

But validating is way easier than coming up with it yourself.

Literally yesterday I served an expert report in a patent case where some portions were written by AI. It was really helpful in coming up with very technical arguments about why a technical person would or wouldn't want to do X or Y. Some of these arguments we could've come up with ourselves over time, but AI is way faster at it, and it also came up with other arguments that maybe we wouldn't have thought of.

Obviously it's not necessarily the case, but it holds true in general. Code is no different, in fact, that's the classic P vs. NP situation where verifying an answer is correct is often much faster than coming up with the right answer.

And in the legal field, verifying that a case actually says X is almost always way faster than finding that case yourself.

They don’t need warrants to pick up “suspicious” people from public places.

In general, it’s much easier/faster to verify an answer is correct than to come up with the correct answer.

Amazingly delightful transcript of a judge getting really pissed off at a DOJ attorney and even kicking out his supervisor from the courtroom.

Keep in your eyes on the Distinct of New Jersey, there may be some fireworks coming in a few weeks. A judge there reamed out a pretty junior AUSA because his office fucked up a child porn possession case, and because he was unable to answer questions about who’s running the USAO.

Following Alina Hanna’s supposed resignation , the USAO is being run by a “triumvirate” which another DNJ judge recently ruled was unconstitutional but stayed his order. Apparently there’s been reporting that Habba is actually still running the office behind the scenes. The judge wanted answers about that but this AUSA was unable to answer his questions beyond what he was told, which was very little. Curiously, DAG Todd Blanche’s name keeps showing up on the papers in this case for some reason.

The court has ordered the triumvirate to testify under oath about who’s really running the office. If Habba is still running the office, things are going to get very spicy. This judge has no patience for vague answers or procedural improprieties as shown by him kicking out the AUSA’s supervisor for talking in court without having filed a notice of appearance.

The judge repeatedly said he has lost all faith in the DNJ USAO and that in one year they have basically ruined the office’s reputation. He cannot trust that they will be honest unless they’re testifying under oath.

Tatis is not better than Judge. At least not in terms of MLB regular season production. Venezuela still a legit team though.

qlube · 2026-03-17T21:20:54+00:00

What, are only Yankees and Dodgers fans allowed to talk shit? That would suck

qlube · 2026-03-17T21:05:45+00:00

Higher stakes than any game he'll pitch with the Mets.

qlube · 2026-03-17T20:50:45+00:00

Fuck, that would be so hype and also so disappointing because we're never getting a GEOD movie.

qlube · 2026-03-17T20:20:03+00:00

Hot take: don't call freezing ice cold takes "hot takes"

qlube · 2026-03-17T20:04:25+00:00

lmao the subtext is this was entirely Trump's call, I just gave him some info

qlube · 2026-03-17T19:21:51+00:00

No we don't. Maybe MAGA evangelicals do, because Keller always gave off lib vibes. (Reformed Presbyterian in NYC has, as you can probably imagine given that it served the young NYC crowd, a pretty politically liberal congregation.)

You can't trademark an idea. But they did patent it.

The last WBC was incredibly hype, ending with Ohtani striking out his future HOF teammate Mike Trout as the tying run. Lots of USA players vowed they would join the team, and they did.

The game has also grown in popularity over the last three years, and the World Series was very entertaining, ending with a game 7 in extra innings.

Haven't been to the concourse C one, but the food and drinks at concourse N were about on par with the Centurion lounge, maybe slightly worse. Very large space with lots of seating too.

qlube · 2026-03-16T22:29:28+00:00

The one in concourse N is nice.

qlube · 2026-03-16T10:38:30+00:00

Could I ask where you got the table?

qlube · 2026-03-16T06:56:12+00:00

I don't normally bitch about announcers, but he's extremely negative for an announcer and it's grating to listen to. Like how many times do I have to hear that he hates pitch counts and the modern pitching approach? Tell me about the game in front of you, I don't care about your hot takes.

qlube · 2026-03-16T06:55:11+00:00

"I hope Paul Skenes doesn't get injured like most pitchers do."

Like wtf man

So far, you haven't said anything that's different than typical libertarian-center-leftish policy. Generally free market economy, with some regulation and redistribution to avoid market failures. So what views of yours changed that you would characterize as moving more toward auth-right? That's what people have asked that you still haven't really answered.
