    Discussion with son who does code for a major financial technology company-

    "What percentage of your work involves AI?"
    "All of it now. But it lets us focus on the non-redundant bullshit"

    That being said, IMHO, it's like asking a car manufacturer what percentage of your assemblers use pneumatic/ electric wrenches? Is it different than turning the nuts/ bolts by hand? Yeah. Is in inherently bad? no. Is the productivity increased? Massively. Hell, Santa at our house ain't doing shit without a cordless screwdriver any more.

  2. I'm all about players getting what they can. Love the portal and have from the jump.

    If they have played as a pro beyond the collegiate level, they should be ineligible for collegiate play, IMHO.

    Note: they didn't ask me.

    My local store doesn't carry the orange bag  of 'seasoned' Santitas anymore, so bought these the other day. Pretty damn good.

    They are both Frito Lay products...which is weird, as far as duplication goes. I like these too.

    Boswell had some pretty badass Laotions back in the 90s

    on the math team?

    I can't remember the Pioneers ever doing shit in football. Their alltime PO record is 14-25-1. they made it to the Semis in '77.

    I ran into that a bit when I first was dating my now-wife.  I just ordered whatever I wanted at dinner and showed up to family functions with beer and wine.  She and her siblings soon followed suit, and the in-laws got used to it.

    I would never have brought booze to my mom's house, but all bets were off when she came to ours. Same goes for my in-laws.  It was never a big deal.

    Respect their wishes.  Have what we would normally have at our place.  People tended to hang out longer when everyone came to our house, and from that you can draw your own conclusions.

  6. The Big XII started in 1996. Surely all opinions are the same now. 
     

    Texas has been gone for 2 years, give or take.  Good for them. 
     

    Not gonna dispute your retorts, because they were true enough for some for them to have happened. It's an embarrassment, to be honest. 
     

    There is still an element in our fanbase that don't give a fuck.  And some of us never have or will do the horns down.  Be who the fuck you are. Keep strivin every day.  That's the very fiber of people insane enough to settle, eek out a living, and dare to prosper in West Texas.  Not everyone wants to be there, and that's cool too. 
     

    Wreck Em!!!

  7. My conspiracy theory is fuck the SEC. 
     

    You folks thinking the objective is to join you completely miss the mark on assessing Tech mindset. 
     

    We don't have to be with you or 'belong,' that shit's for the idiots in Brazos County.

    Because it is?

    Sure. It's worked so far. These issues don't even really exist if nobody owns anything.  
     

    'Those folks have too much' is not the road to solving other people's problems.

    This isn't going to be one of those "just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and you too can be a billionaire helping to increase the skyrocketing wealth inequality" things, right?

    nah, it's more of a "stop worrying about kids' feelings and provide proper direction as parents.  Reward desired behavior and be deliberate as stewards of our youth.  Confidence comes from achievement, not the lack of red ink on a test or lack of a trophy for a non-winning effort" thing.

    Then again, and I have admitted this many times; there's not a lot of political capital in my answers; but they are effective AF.
