    Off-Topic NCFC Soccer is dissolving at the end of the season

    This is the professional men's team that plays in Cary. They are hoping to reform as a new franchise in the brand new USL Division One. To get a franchise, they will need to get a deal for a new stadium as the current one isn't big enough. This new league is hoping to compete head to head...

    Very cool. Thank you. If you get some time in the next few days, can you take a couple close ups on the amber and also a couple of pieces near the front? Are those the teeth?

    Would you document that fossil collection again on here? I'd like to see that. Also, are you buying them or collecting them?

    Cool story. A fossil of a Tyrannosaur is discovered and excavated in Montana. North Carolina museum buys the fossil. After research, scientists discover that it is a new species. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/30/nx-s1-5589172/tyrannosaurus-rex-dueling-dinosaurs-fossil-new-species

    Sports College Football Catch-All Thread

    Lols. I'd like to think you're right. I could definitely see Trump picking some MAGA influencer that occasionally mentions SEC football as the new coach and them failing miserably. I could also see Trump hiring somebody like Hugh freeze pointing out his success at Liberty and glossing over...

    Off-Topic Coding, Data Science, A.I. catch-All | Grok update goes MechaHitler

    Grok looked at some of their competitors who were ahead of them and made a very conscious technical decision. Actually two that would apply here. First, they removed a lot of the guard rails that other companies had. I've described this before but if you ask any LLM how to rob a bank, it will...

    Off-Topic Coding, Data Science, A.I. catch-All | Grok update goes MechaHitler

    I understand what you are hinting. Maybe you are right. Alternatively, maybe there is some reputational risk to remind people that everything is being tracked and stored. Maybe something else. I don't think for a second that the Grok team or any AI team would program their LLM to have a 12...

    Off-Topic Coding, Data Science, A.I. catch-All | Grok update goes MechaHitler

    I'm really surprised that these companies don't provide the entire chat log when these stories come out. I realize it's new and not everyone knows everything about this, but it's pretty obviously manipulation by people hoping for a payday and media companies hoping for clicks. These stories...

    Politics Grocery Prices | SNAP benefits

    The core inflation rate is going down. Are you expecting core inflation to be less than or equal to zero? I believe the last time that happened was at some point in the 1950's.

    Yes. You are correct. I thought from the context that this is what we were talking about. I'll be more precise next time.

    Maybe. Most companies would like certainty in their tax bill. But there are trade-offs. I do think some companies would prefer certain concessions from other countries around trade and fiscal policies over the certainty of their tax bill. Tariffs might be a way to get there. They may also...

    Core inflation increased .3% in August and .2% in September. So yes.

    Core inflation is declining slightly. I'm sure there are some industries more affected and some industries less affected, and of course core inflation ignores food and energy, but on balance, inflation is declining very slowly. It is enough that the FED will almost definitely make a rate cut...

    It's a really good question. The tariffs have been around for several months now, and they are not small, and inflation is trending slightly down. Companies have been absorbing those tariffs, for the most part, to maintain market share while hoping that Trump will relax those tariffs in ongoing...

    I didn't realize that, but it makes sense.
