  1. According to the research that I've read, AI so far amounts to about a 10% gain in efficiency. That has wide variations depending on the specific application (coding for example, basic customer support, analytics, etc.) but the overall enterprise impact is about a 10% gain in efficiency.
  2. Oh, man, you have to read this. This is a doozie. File under "only in Louisiana". https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46773515/gov-jeff-landry-critical-ad-scott-woodward-amid-lsu-shakeup There are some interesting points in here, though. It sounds like the Governor is more at issue with the contract given out to Kelly and not necessarily the choice of Kelly, specifically the buyout. The Governor also said, "We're gonna make sure that he's compensated properly, and we're gonna put metrics on it because I'm tired of rewarding failure in this country and then leaving the taxpayers to foot the bill." (Can you imagine a Governor in Wisconsin saying the word, "gonna"?) Putting metrics in a contract will be interesting, and if they do, will metrics then become the standard or will other schools who are hiring use that against LSU in an effort to get a better coach?
  3. I have access to a lot of consumer data.. Consumer spending has been going down. That was before the federal shutdown. Now you have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who are not getting paid who are going to drastically decrease spending. While that's a fraction of the total employment base, it trickles across the economy eventually. As someone who has been laid off 3 times in the last 13 years, I can tell you that for every month you don't get a paycheck it takes at least two months to catch back up and feel comfortable returning to normal spending. Unemployment maxes out at a little over $2K/month. That won't even cover most mortgages.
  4. I have some type of schmutz on the inside of my windshield. Now that the sun is low in the sky it is very noticeable. Tried to clean it with glass cleaner. Hardly did anything except swirl the schmutz around. Thought it might be my cut-up-t-shirt rags, so I went to paper towel and also used an all-purpose cleaner followed by glass cleaner again. Helped, but still quite a bit of it left. Went to a higher quality paper towel and despite 3 rounds of that on the drivers side and 2 rounds on the passenger side, still about 15% left on drivers side and 30% left on passenger's side. I have no idea what this is. I seem to recall perhaps taking it to a full-service wash and saw it on there afterwards, as they may not have used clean towels to wipe the interior. Could it be liquid wax that was transferred from the towel the person at the car wash used if they wiped the exterior first with that towel? But my shoulders sure are getting sore as it is not super easy to wipe down the interior of a windshield that is significantly sloping down away from you.
  5. Carson Wentz out for the season with shoulder surgery.
  6. I was referring to financially stupid, but if you're referring to Mark Davis generally, how is it stupid that he: spoke out publicly on the issue of domestic violence in the NFL and proposed that the league should suspend with pay any player arrested while "the investigation moves forward". spoke out in favor of a written report of the Washington Commanders workplace conduct investigation, and the release of such a report, in stark contrast to the other NFL team owners who oppose releasing a report spoke out in favor of increased pay and better accommodations for players in the WNBA invented the muff-style hand-warmer that football players use in cold weather moved the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas
  7. 28-3 in the second half.
  8. Ugh, love missed Golden wide open. Would have walked in.
  9. They're bodyweight workouts. No equipment needed. Think pushups, situps, planks, squats, lunges, high knees, etc.
  10. Owners didn't get to be where they are by being stupid. You can play in the NBA and be stupid if you're talented enough.
  11. Looked like he grabbed the back of his leg after he went down.
  12. That is the most bewildering spot call I have ever seen. These refs have to be betting on Oregon covering. That's like losing your job incompetence to rule that.
  13. The extension is standard operating procedure for all head coaches in all sports. And it did not affect his buyout in any way. None of it is guaranteed. I've seen the contract language and the buyout is based entirely on the original contract that Fickell signed.
  14. If that's the expected outcome, then why did the Brewers give him so much money?
  15. That's the thing - they have to have a team of Ohtani's and Betts' because of the Dodgers ability to buy a staff. The reason the Brewers had the best record in baseball has very little to do with the Brewers and everything to do with how many regular-season innings each of the following Dodgers' pitchers threw: Glasnow: 90 Ohtani: 47 Snell: 61 Sheehan: 73 Gonsolin: 36 Kershaw: 112 Their best bet is to hope that the Dodgers pitchers get injured late in the season.
  16. As said in another thread, it's not the lat injury. It's the fact that the Brewers had to baby him and manipulate the rotation in an effort to get him through the season, which ultimately was unsuccessful. Only once did Woody pitch on less than five days rest - his seventh start - and in that start they only let him go 4 innings and 65 pitches. If he really was "good to go", he would not have been limited to 4 innings and 65 pitches in his seventh start off of the IL. They had to use off days, call up guys for spot starts, and do other things to constantly push Woody back in the rotation so that he was on more than 4 days rest. I think other teams are acutely aware of that and know that you can't manipulate a rotation like that for en entire season.
  17. You know that at the time Fickell was the hottest candidate out there. Everybody wanted him. He turned down a lot of opportunities because he didn't think that they were the right situation for his family. That UW got him at the time was considered a major coup by everyone nationally. Now, there's plenty of other things to criticize Mac about. But Mac is far from the first AD at a major school who made a football hire that didn't work out, and if UW didn't give him that contract there were plenty of other schools who would have.
  18. Coming up on "American Greed"...
  19. Minnesota is 3-4 and one source has them with the weakest schedule so far this year and the hardest remaining schedule. They still have two games against the Packers and Lions, plus one against the Bears, Seattle, Washington, Dallas. I said in the offseason that they could easily regress depending on QB play and whether McCarthy is ready. And that is coming to fruition.
  20. I have a whole bunch of body-weight workouts that you can do at home with a minimal amount of space. The gym I was a member at in 2020 sent them out and I did them at home in my living room throughout the winter of 2020-2021. Send me a PM and I will send them to you.
  21. Unfortunately you have to be signed in to Google and Google Maps in order to download maps and use them offline. I don't want to sign in and have it remember everywhere I go.
  22. Pro tip - when you put the vehicle in park, the idle shut-off disengages. Whenever I get to a stop light I put my vehicle in park. Not only does it disengage the idle shut off, but it also allows me to rest my foot/leg.
  23. Have a loaner while my vehicle is in the shop. It's the redesigned 2025 model of my 2019 Nautilus, wanted to get a chance to test drive one and see what it's like as I don't particularly care for the new body shape/style which makes it look more and more like a station wagon. No native navigation system, have to use Android Auto. Ugh. I HATE Android Auto, specifically Google Maps. They do an absolutely TERRIBLE job with street names. First, you can't read them - black text on a gray road, yeah, great contrast there. Second, they letters are too damn small. Third, they never use names for roads that are also highways. Yeah, NOBODY refers to Colorado Boulevard as Hwy 2. And then fourth, I have to acknowledge Incognito mode whenever I start the vehicle. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. On top of that, it runs on your phone, so how much data is it going to use? If I have to get an unlimited data plan, that's an extra $30/month. Useless. Meanwhile, Google is laying off UX researchers. Great idea.
  24. Yeah, but freedom of speech/expression/or whatever they think their rights are to do whatever they want!!!
