  1. kudos to 956 for starting this critically important thread if the term "capture/captured" has yet to be introduced in to this thread I will be using that meme in my replies/comments re: helobious and gmaps working fine..... - street view is extremely important, depending on when the imagery was recorded - the navigation of gmaps is not it's failing; if it has the bandwidth it usually renders at lightspeed whether zooming, or panscanning, or both - here is the use case that identifies where the ABC overlords are abusing it's power through enshittification: from a standing start zoomed out to the north american continent i can zoom and pan to a specific location in a couple of seconds if the rendering engine and bandwidth keep up; up until a few years ago, at maximum zoom, every non-residential location would be identified and tagged with the name of the location which was an active link; today less than 50%, sometimes less than 30%, of the specific locations are "blank" buildings; you know a kickass new pizza place is in stripmall X between businesses Y and Z, but the map doesn't tell you which storefront is the pizza place; it doesn't give the name of the business; there is no active link to click to nav to the website to place an order; BUT IF YOU "SEARCH THIS AREA" for "pizza" and SUBJECT YOURSELF TO ADS IN THE RESULT SET..... VOILA! the name of the new kickass pizza place appears on the edifice with a clickable link to the business; what's going on here is this: if you are not paying in to the ABC ecosystem in some way, and this includes pretty much the entire adtech cloud, if you are not paying "protection money", you don't exist (not rendered on the map) until your customer already knows you exist (by typing in your name in maps search or regular search) other memes in addition to "Capture" that should be introduced in this thread if they have not already been voiced include the "blipvert" from MaxHeadroom (ABC 1988) and for any readers have not seen it Idiocracy (Mike Judge 2006) and if the thread really gets funky, it will be impossible to avoid citation and reflection of ideas brought forward in Minority Report and the complete Matrix Trilogy including the Animatrix compilation from the 2003 box set anyway, here is where enshittifcation ends up, if we don't do something about it:
  2. brain conditions that result in dehabilitation like ALS, hemorrhagic strokes, CTE, etc. are not profitable for pharma or assisted living the families are on their own unless they possess unlimited wealth for private 7x24 sheet changing
  3. why didn't van dijk come over to challenge that ? it was flat so he knew it wasn't going to his mark
  4. welp, now we know where they will get the money to escrow $30k per NIL bag
  5. San Benito - Carthage is 523 miles, 8 hours 3 minutes as of this hour (no traffic) but the route follows I-69 through downtown Houston.
  6. The only reason Katy isn't top of the list is because it sits in 3 counties.
  7. just keep separate sets of books you are keeping separate sets of books, right? /anakin-padme-meme
  8. i now have a total lack of understanding of what nil is, is not, should be, and should not be it would be so much easier to read that with fish camp training which allows an instant translation: BAGS
  9. fair enough i'm waiting for penelope to just buy cool places in cool places and set up the surl-stays-for-free club
  10. the #1 issue with britain is plumbing what they call a "power shower" is an electric water sprayer you have zero guarantee on potable water quality especially in the private homeowner rental market both cold and "hot" water could be coming from an open cistern in the attic with dead birds in it i would inquire with the owner of every rental property as to the type of plumbing they have on site you want to hear the owner say PRESSURIZED hot water, which you follow up with the question to clarify that the property has an UNVENTED CYLINDER for hot water creation those words will get you the bathing experience you take for granted in the rest of the western world +++ January days are SHORT in Escocia - with the time change it will be real tempting to burn half the available daylight before you've finished breakfast +++ I have too many recommendations that would break your primary itinerary so I will only say that if you are going to Mallaig and skipping Loch Morar shame on you +++ I want to hear more about this @Brisketexan Glasgow situation.
  11. I am pleased to read that admissions are taking in to account a number of the topics cited in this thread. Under current standards I never would have made the 40. There are still way too many admissions that should never be taken at the expense of the truly capable or deserving, and I'm not talking about grades. The System-7 paradigm ya'll are describing is admitting test takers over critical thinkers and achievers with ambition, and in my opinion the best way to moderate their presence in any admissions class would be a SAT/ACT style 1-hour extemporaneous interview with a panel of admissions experts. The opening question would be "what would you like to talk about today?" Questions should range the spectrum of topics - all disciplines - nothing off limits. No wrong answers. I want kids on the 40 who can think and do want to change the world. From personal experience I cite a 3.7 Philosophy grad from the 40 in the last decade who used the word "like" 2 or 3 times in every sentence in an interview, and when asked what s/he wanted to do with their degree, and what were their goals in life, could only answer "i'm still trying to figure it out". That kid took up a valuable place for 4 years and while s/he was admitted on grades and tests, would have been just fine at aggy.
  12. i hope we have aggy boxed out from anything to do with design, construction, engineering, etc.
  13. i stand corrected this means 8 of 12 3rd-place teams will make the round of 32 so we are playing 72 games to eliminate 16 teams
  14. remember - they ditched the groups of 3 and doing the correct thing: 8 groups of 6, which means 5 group games and fuck jerry it sucks the final won't be here but attending a US fixture is going to start in the thousands just to get in unless you win the lottery
  15. a lot of maroon schools are going to have .... a challenge with this
  16. the key point in the yahoo article: +++ SEC, Big Ten on Project DI The buzz within the two conferences grew louder last week, when Yahoo Sports published a story ahead of a meeting in Washington D.C. between the five major conference commissioners and NCAA president Charlie Baker — a story that outlined the Big Ten and SEC’s internal pushback of Baker’s proposed new college athlete model, dubbed Project DI. Project DI will be one of the first topics addressed by the joint advisory group, Sankey said. Project DI, revealed in December, would permit schools to strike NIL deals directly with athletes while also creating a separate subdivision in FBS for high-revenue producing schools. Those schools in the new subdivision will be required to put away into a trust a minimum of $30,000 annually per athlete for at least half of a school’s athletes.
  17. @RamjetFDO waht the hell is going on here?

  20. samuel practiced today normally running routes and catching passes in both RB and WR drills the only stat i can find for detroit to wishcast around is the 49ers have the most conference title appearances, but the most losses with a record of 7-11 in 18 games https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-conference-championship-losses-nfl-team
  21. friday 17th is only 7 days between semis and final - not nearly enough time for physical recovery, preparation for the next opponent, and depending on how the prior locations sort out, no way enough time for 2 fanbases to potentially undertake their 2nd transcon trip in as many weeks the better move would be push it back to the 25th, the saturday on the weekend of the league's conference finals
