That's a small subset of users, and it likely does not include the paying users. I doubt very much there is all that much effect on the overall use, though it is undeniable that it is used by students extensively. It's an incredible teaching tool if used properly. My son uses it to supplement...

ChatGPT is an amazing tool if used correctly. I don't understand the hate. And no, usage does not drop off 85% from May to June.

It's not really an attack to say that you weren't old enough to follow the 05 team. That would be just a fact of the world, and I was almost right. And if you said I was being nostalgic, that also wouldn't be an attack. There's nothing wrong with being young, or old. I just do not think that...

For the record, the sewage pipe in question is operated by the DC Sewer And Water Utility (DC Water), and only DC Water has any jurisdiction to repair any of its facilities. Wes Moore has literally nothing to do with it. More obvious scapegoating racism from Trump.

OK, but say we were #50. There's still a reasonable likelihood of losing at least one of four games against a 72 and three 110s. And I think #50 was above the ceiling for that group. But again, I don't remember very well after all these years and if it's OK, would rather not start digging up...

Fine, don't use college. Use high school. Bret Bearup used to frequent the IC boards back in the day. That was when he was an agent taking all-star teams to Europe and steering talent to Billy Donovan, before he was special advisor to the Nuggets owner. But anyway, he said about Raymond as a...

Sigh. First, Caleb is playing 20 mpg, not 35-36 like Raymond. Second, the league-wide eFG% is much higher now -- it's 54.4%, compared to right about 50.0% when Felton was playing. So Felton was about league average in eFG%. Caleb is well below. Basically the difference is that the league...

And we were 137. Not sure why you think we should have beaten them all. There's no point arguing something from 25 years ago. Our memories of it are basically self-serving at this point. I believe what I believe because that's what I remember, but I don't remember much else. Same for you...

Yes. And his 2001 class was pretty good! Jawad was a McD. Jackie a top 50 player. Melvin was a bit lower ranked and the analysts got that right, but IIRC he put on a shooting clinic at a camp that year and was offered. Jackie also had a week of great midrange shooting at a camp, but anyway...

And yet they claim inflation dropped to 2.4%. Not a chance. There is no chance that inflation was 2.4%, unless seasonal adjustments are doing A LOT of work.

OK. It was a long time ago and I confess that I think about Matt Doherty infrequently. I think the season at FAU was a reasonable success -- a big improvement over where they had been, but I could be wrong about that and don't care enough to look it up. I guess I remember the 20 win season at...

no, I meant that those other teams weren't more talented. UNC had a higher overall talent level, for sure. But when the talent is badly distributed, the overall talent level doesn't mean as much. If you're saying that we shouldn't have lost those four games, sure. But I'll bet any coach...

Oh, bullshit. You're comparing career average to a single season? Felton had several years of 48,49%. And you can't say "assists are a non-sequitur." First, plenty of guys who play off the ball get assists in today's NBA, but more to the point: Felton was valuable BECAUSE HE COULD PLAY ON...

Well, I haven't the insight to judge his personality problems, or his habit of blaming others. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I don't know. Odds are that you are right. If I had to bet on "whether Doh could have been successful at UNC with more time to mature," I'd need pretty...

No they weren't more talented. But as I said, the problem with 8-20 was the distribution of talent. I think no PG in the history of Carolina basketball spent more time dribbling laterally than Adam Boone. That is, when he wasn't dribbling with his back to the basket at half court. And...
