Texas Football 2025 Fall Camp - Kicking the Sonofabitch In

The freshman All-American DT from Syracuse wasn't recruited just for depth, eh? -
when i first started picking individual stocks i bumped into a couple that 10x'd within a few months. some alternative energy stuff. i congratulated myself on my genius, held, and watched them turn into dust. since then, i've been index-only for 95% of my portfolio and random stuff just for my amusement for the remaining 5%, none of which has done anything interesting.

I hope that whoever invented summer sausage lived a long, healthy, happy life and is enjoying a special place right now.

Remove the pornographic context from it, it's still video shot with real humans moving in real human motions, shot in photorealistic lighting. It's still valuable data for what a "real" video should look like. And when your directive is simply to "get more data" it doesn't really matter where it comes from, just that you're meeting the objective. Generative AI (and literally all machine learning) is just reproducing or identifying patterns already seen in training data, or ID'ing abberations from the training data set it's already seen. But once it's produced, it's basically impossible to know what data was used in which model or to create which portion of an image or video or text. That virtually impossible unknowability is what Meta and OpenAI and Amazon are banking on to shield them from copyright claims or other allegations of horrible things like (inadvertantly) training on CSAM.

I'm about the same. I've bought Roku and Disney individually over the years and they're both down materially from when I bought them. I bought a fuck ton of Berkshire Hathaway this year, seeing has they were just hoarding cash. Then Buffett announced his retirement about 4 or 6 weeks after that. I probably won't buy any UTLY so maybe my abstaining will counteract your buying curse.

Statistically speaking, life is not all that fragile. Poor diet, alcohol, drugs, sedentary lifestyle, excessive speeding or driving under the influence, carcinogens in our food & environment, chemtrails, viral and bacterial outbreaks, gun and other modes of violence, war, the list goes on, and yet the average life expectancy of Americans is at an all-time high.

Deion has had to deal with more than his share of medical issues for a man of his age and fitness. And yes he's brash, but he also seems like a genuinely good guy and I'm rooting for his full recovery and whatever success he can have on the field that doesn't impact the Longhorns negatively.

It was intentional. I was running with my legs and trying to avoid other things running.

It’s unbelievable to me but a lot of Astros X fans are actually ok with trading Framber and even advocating for it. If Dana was considering it the sell job to the fans won’t be near as hard as it would have been a week ago. Everyone sees the writing on the wall. I think it’s prob only 10-20% chance of happening. He did slip in the comment he would have to trade off of the major league roster. Of course all our prospects are on the major league roster at the moment. It’s really simple to me. If doctors say Yordan will return with a 100% clean bill of health with no caveats for reinjury, then you keep Framber and go for it. If there is any doubt that Yordan returns or returns 100%, you trade Framber. Without a healthy Yordan in the middle of the lineup, adding any bat will mean nothing in the playoffs. And MLB really should move the trade deadline back at least to Aug 15 after adding the wildcards. Even two more weeks would define teams playoff pictures more clearly.

Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
horn4life replied to ROFL BOX's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
To both of you guys- Yeah it's often a one sided road unfortunately. Though it makes you wonder WTF would happen if you were NOT there? Would that sibling feel compelled to step up? Or just let demise occur and go about their business? I would like to think the former, but actions often lean heavily toward the latter. On a brighter note, took Dad out to lunch yesterday, and had a nice time jsut visiting face to face. We talk constantly but I need to make more of a concerted effort to see him more. I am trying to finish off his house remodel a couple hours away so drive time talk is our norm. But my MIL is terminal now, and it made me realize I need to get in more face time. While he is still with it. Like I was telling my wife and sister in law the other day, you sort of just have to be in the moment, when you know they are dying. Similar to how you need to be when a parent has dementia. You can spend time trying to force them to find the right word, name or place, or you can just go with it and try to enjoy a moment. Endlessly talking about "how do you feel" isn't what you or they want to spend their short time on. Just sit down and try and have a nice visit. It's simple and it means so much to the old folks. -
