  1. Man, I could not do a pass that costly.
  2. One isn't a "loonie on either side" if one disagrees with that assessment. From Wiki: that's tip of the iceberg. fuck all that.
  3. Its funny you mention Sammy, I was thinking about him the other day. Of course, only those of us who knew him could call him Sammy without getting punched in the nose. He was not exactly a push over. One time he and I were having lunch at The Muse, which I'm pretty sure is closed these days but only due to Jack Nicholson being stingy with his tips. Anyway, a little known fact about Sammy is he was really crazy for a good tomato bisque. Also, he truly loathed the Lakers. Now, The Muse didn't have tomato bisque on the menu, but they would run to the nearest 7-eleven and buy a can of Campbell's and trick ol Sammy into enjoying his meal. Well this particular day Kobe walks into the place and everyone but Sammy loses their marbles and starts fumbling. The waiter messes up and says "here's your campbell's sir, err, I mean." Well, too late. Sammy storms into the kitchen, finds the Campbell's can, and then storms back to the table, fuming. I tried to calm him down and offer him some of my eggplant parmesan, which seemed to be helping. Well, then a chorus of laughter erupts at Kobe's table and Sammy's face just reddened, like you know he did in the movies. He stands up, lobs the soup can towards Kobe's table. Luckily he missed Kobe or things could have got really ugly. Then Sammy started screaming "I GOT THE RIGHT STUFF! YOU AIN"T GOT IT, YOU CANNED SOUP SLURPER!" Kobe just stared and shook his head, went back to eating. The waiter and owner and chef all came out to apologize, and after a foot massage Sammy calmed down. So maybe instead of you know Trump dies so Biden dies like you theorize it just could be some angry but harmless can throwing, followed by some hollering of nonsense and the right foot massage to calm everyone back down.
  4. Video is blurred, but you get the idea (NSFW obvs): http://news.rr.nihalnavath.com/posts/Susana-Gibson-link-2fc38287

  6. Thanks, I appreciate it. It seems massive computing scale and GPU demand should stay reasonably high for the near foreseeable future unless I'm blind to some kind of drop off.
  7. I'm curious what thoughts are in regards to 'gold rush' and 'AI bubble.' To be clear, I'm not asking from an investor's POV, but it seems most of the talk and knowledge comes from investors. Potential job offer with a company that is in the field and dependent on the current demand.
  8. Glad you found an area that will for you Beau. I know you've been seriously searching from some time. Cheers from Central Oregon.
  9. https://www.salon.com/2023/09/11/has-his-own-age-problem--and-it-terrifies-him/ Editorial theorizes he's scared of impending dementia. This bit just completely cracked me up. "Senior Club Championship at a big golf club" put me in tears. Normally I just rage at the man, or roll my eyes or what not. But this one, whew, thanks Donny, that was funny.
  10. I hope I'm not in the "HURR DURR" category. I really am enjoying the show. Edit: good to read the different take oSuJeff97.
  11. Obviously not on her side. I type w/o thinking deeply sometimes. Probably the wrong word to use. I didn't mean it judgmentally (although he did kill a bunch of folks already), but his very stated goal is the return of Thrawn. As a viewer that's going to be awesome, but as a New Republic person that's not great. I stick with my opinion, the Rebels era Sabine wouldn't have done this. I mean, maybe she would have tried (and been unsuccesfu) to just run away with the map. But it is only my opinion, ofc.
  12. Fair enough. Can't recall if Sabine had her light sabre or not at that point in time. And the whole Baylon telling her she lost everyone again to me wouldn't have played with Sabine previously. Oh, I know, I'll give this thing to an obviously evil Jedi and hope it all works out. Which, I guess thanks to plot stuff it just might. It just really felt out of character for her imo.
  13. I know that they need some kind of plot vehicle to get to Thrawn and maybe Ezra, but boy was I disappointed that they turned Sabine into a weak willed dumbass in order for it to happen. Rebels era Sabine would have spray painted that Jedi's face and shot the map, imo. If you love Ezra like family, why undo his sacrifice? How many times did Ashoka ask if she could trust her? Otherwise enjoyed it.
  14. If what I read can be trusted he lost a six month old to lukemia in 2001 and many think his alcholism/downward slide stemmed from that. I can't judge. Sad all around. RIP.
  15. Calling their slang 'loony lingo' will help you relate to them in a respectful manner.
  16. Not to mention the whole 'well armed militia' bit. And that the 2a has been interpreted differently through out the years. I'm for confiscating the guns myself. Will never happen but I would not feel sorry for one hobbyist. Let the dudes living in the wilds of Alaska keep what they need to surive.
  17. I don't follow the ski threads like I should but this is my home mountain. I got 36 'days' in last year. Now unlike most of you I took up snowboarding at age 49 (before Covid closed the mountain) having not done any winter sports at all prior. Also, when I put quotes on 'days' its because some days are just a few hours after work. Kind of spoiled with a season pass and a local mountain. So I'm not great, mostly blues, a few blacks, and plenty of skiers and boarders are way faster/much more skilled than me. There's just a difference between people who learned at a young age and someone taking it up in their old age. That said, I have fun and I've given my son the gift of lessons in a sport I never got to participate in. So hopefully as an adult he'll have a level of skill I never did. Also fun being part of the culture and occaisionally catching some pros riding around (in snowboarding, I wouldn't know the pro skiers). Anyway I do forget to check the hobbies board but if any of you make it up to Bachy, ping me and maybe I can join you on your warm up runs before you move on to the bigger stuff.

  19. Slow day so I read some more. Not only is it not a Biden thing, it is not even necessarily a sure thing at all: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12438233/Americans-limited-two-beers-strict-new-alcohol-guidelines-Bidens-booze-czar.html So forgetting the sensationalist headline, the Doctor is saying we could move towards the two drinks a week max as a recommendation. Wow, sure is worth getting fake angry over.
  20. Haven't seen the study Rafael is complaining about, but I have been reading some other health related/longevity related articles/newsletters and I have seen this two per week maximimum recommendation come up. The first time was dealing with steps towards reducing your chances at neurodegenerative diseases.* from a newsletter that summarzied this study ("Association between healthy lifestyle and memory decline in older adults: 10 year, population based, prospective cohort study") There's this "Nordic Nutrition Recommendations" that says Everywhere I see that article discussed people get bogged down in the meat argument, and seem to skip the no alcohol recommedation. Now, I write this as someone who really enjoys good beer pretty often, including some last night. But I don't think I'm ignorant of the risks I am taking. It seems from a layman's point of view quite obvious that if the goal is long term health/mental vitality then avoiding alcohol altogether is the safest bet. Next safest is now the two per week at most recommendation that seems to be gaining popularity. So not sure what Rafael is all upset about. If you want to keep getting fatter and unhealthier go right ahread. Although perhaps not being from this planet makes him immune to the delterious effects of an unhealthy diet. *not sure we would recognize any mental decline on his part.
  21. Guess that was just a stupid question in general. I guess I really wondered if there was any crime that a President couldn't pardon. Such as, say 'seditious conspiracy.'
  22. You're right. There is a real problem with mass stonings in this country.
