Nice to see State hosting the Les Robinson invitational opening round of the ACCT again.

I’m amazed at what the claude model is doing. The first day I used it at work I threw it 4 prompts on my current projects and it spit out a project summary, technical specs, sample code and a sample database model/ddl. It wasn’t perfect, so I tweaked it to my liking in an hour. All in it...

Splintering isn’t the right word, but there is more unrest. Tillis is cutting down Trump aides, there is some criticism of ice etc. folks are still afraid of Trump. If Pubs get walloped this year, you’ll see more of it.

I have to say, now that MTG is no longer in office and no longer has a vote that matters for anything, she's becoming one of my favorite people: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5720641-marjorie-taylor-greene-defends-massie/

Trump doesn’t want to care about Taiwan, but he has to because they make the chips that calculate cryptocurrency.

I don’t think it would have been damaging to Trump if they were released. Maybe a blip that he likely would have recovered from. I think Trump is taking a hit because he’s been so evasive about them.

I didn’t have a senior thesis but wrote a ton in HS. Most of my electives were history classes so that accounted for most of them. I used to write well, but have lost those skills to the scourge of time and SMS/Slack communication.

Went to the UMall location regularly in college. We used to compete for getting the most food for $5.

Glad that disastrous season is over with. I’m happier to not go to a bowl game given that half the team won’t be on the roster next year. Bill & crew need to put out the feelers for OL prospects that may be going to the portal. We can probably survive with Gio and Baker if we have a...

I used to mock those that put out decorations before Thanksgiving. Now I’m more like, if it brings you joy, go for it. We had tradition of putting up the tree the day of the UNC game in mid December.

Republicans are screwed on healthcare. There are 3 ways to lower costs: - regulate pricing - increase the pool (mandated coverage or expanded Medicare) - eliminate guaranteed coverage for for folks with pre existing conditions. I think Pubs would prefer #3 but it would be enormously...

I’ve tried it at various times in the past, it wasn’t for me. I’m not comfortable opening up to strangers so I never had much to say. Plus I tend to live life with a lot of optimism. I’m normally a 7/10 on their 10 point scale. I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time in the hospital in the...

I was a registered Dem for most of my life and went independent with the rise of the far left. Still haven’t voted for a pub, but find myself identifying with the very few moderate Rs left out there. Not enough to vote for one given that they would empower the radical right majority, but still.

I’ll pass on that. 400 years is about 16 generations, basically the length of time since the founding of the first colony in America to now. There is about a zero percent chance the crew doesn’t go insane and accidentally or intentionally destroy that ship.

Damn, that’s like 2500 worth of merch.
