Wild prediction: the coach wasn't the problem and the countdown begins until we want to fire the new special teams guy.

I'd be a bit more perturbed by this if there were any chances I'd want to watch the Bucks in the foreseeable future. As it is, I'll just watch more non-brewer baseball.

Train Dreams on Netflix was a wow movie and a refresh for the soul, at least for me. Highly recommend.

Agree. I know this doesn't mean anything to everyone, but I really liked being able to pay for one service and watch the Bucks too.

I don't think cars feel or react to wind chill, so no problem!

Here's an example of what I would consider an article from the minor league forum. Just a wasted click unless I'm looking to read longer content rather than discussion forum content.

Ahh on desktop. Sorry, should have tried that, rarely fire up the laptop for non work purposes anymore. Also missed the article change, sorry about that! Thank you 🙏

1) Is there a way to block or mute a user? 2) Is there a way to filter out articles? Looking to increase the value added compared to time used to click and load on this site.

Josh Myers playing well! Pulling for him.

I don't know, maybe a blank post is about as pointless and dumb as it gets. Then again, some of the posts people make here might be better off blank. A friend once sent a blank email to a bunch of our friends. Another friend replied "'Enlightening!', Mike Lupica." I thought that was funny.

Correct

Yes. It happened while I was scrolling Edit: Just saw a similar picknsave add that took up the whole screen as I scrolled but then disappeared as I scrolled. The previous one was permanently taking up the screen. Not sure if that's the same add but if so, maybe I clicked on it by mistake last time? Lots of mistake clicking with these ads. Either I have old fingers (yes) or they're making them really easy to mistake click on (probably yes too)

Picknsave being annoying

And in turn, I feel old when I hear that someone's dad talks about RAM😂

I've found little about AI that inspires me.... other than to contemplate retirement from teaching 😂

Actually, simulation theory (better called a hypothesis) is not a conspiracy theory, it's a probabilistic argument. I don't think its originator believes it is true, but an interesting idea nonetheless. Whatever your coworker believes probably doesn't resemble what Bostrom was saying, but that's not a reflection on the hypothesis. https://academic.oup.com/pq/article-abstract/53/211/243/1610975?login=false

What's a "beef smoker"?

Anyone who lived through Erick Almonte feels the same.

Record high of 53 in Green Bay today. I'm ready for spring 👍

Woke up to decent snow in Green Bay today, some more to come. Everything I was supposed to do at school today got cancelled, so it will be a nice quiet day at home watching it fall.

Got some snow going this morning in Green Bay. I'm usually done with winter by now but we've had so little snow I'm not sick of shoveling. So if it's cold it might as well snow.

We'll see. My guess is that this change is fundamentally different and if there's anyone left that can analyze, we may find out later that putting attention harvesting super computers in everyone's pocket wasn't the best move for our species. Point taken Cheesewhiz.

Teacher here. I'm not saying there's no bad teaching going on, but teaching critical thinking to kids with an attention span of 2.1 nanoseconds and parents who think their job is to shelter rather than push is a big part of the equation too. We have kids coming into kindergarten that don't even know their own name. I wonder what their parents and siblings are doing 99% of the time? Hand them a phone to keep them from interrupting your phone time. Read to them, creative play, socialization, develop loving healthy relationships.? No way. The room isn't full of these kids, but there's enough of them to drag classes into the abyss because they are starved for attention and don't know any decent ways to get it. Administration and parents blame teachers. No public support. Anything about this sound like it would be appealing for the best and brightest people to choose to join or stay in the profession? Edit: and don't get me started on administration. Doesn't attract the best of the brightest for similar reasons. At least some teachers are there for the right reasons. Why administrators choose their job? Don't ask me. I would never be an administrator. But I can say that that many of them are not familiar with the processes of teaching and learning, and aren't great at managing, leading, or communicating. They look to the the latest and greatest idea, which is usually some repackaged old idea. They cycle through these "new" ways of doing things, provide little to no training for the teachers, then blame the teachers when it doesn't work. Then they try something else. If they haven't been fired already, and on to someone new trying some new solve-all solution.

Weatherman teased a "pattern change" coming Wisconsin's way with low pressure later this week....I hope so and that it brings some snow. I miss the old days of a couple pre-christmas big snows but I'll take anything I can get at this point. In today's world and climate I'm finding the rugged, off-road capabilities of my vehicle much more useful for city street potholes than for any actual challenging driving situations 😂

No, it was the yellow light of the sun that both gave Superman (and anyone from red-sunned Krypton) super powers on earth, and made him vulnerable to Kryptonite fragments. Don't ask me to explain the science though, you wouldn't understand. Now let me explain how flying around the earth backwards can make time go backwards...
