  1. It's all dumbass project managers talk about.
    When are we  going to AI?
    Whats the roadmap for AI?
    Are we AI compatible?
    And other completely uninformed questions they pull out of their asses to try and look tech savvy.
    My answer is always, who knows. 

    My answer is 3/26, which is when I finally get the fucking fedRAMP moderate check box on my platform and can go balls deep into federal defense integrators.

    Demo’d a CICD pipeline AI SaaS tool today for a defense contractor that in 6 months I can sell for $5m.

    They still haven’t figured out they let a money grubbing hippie librul peacenik into the JADC2 kill cycle money go brrrrr ecosystem.
  2. If you can swing the commute of just over an hour from Naperville to a hotel in River North and then another hour in the morning to the Airport, that will give you a great feel for the City. And bonus if you can get a dusk or evening boat tour.

    I’ve stayed at the W on lakeshore drive, the Marriott Marquis in a high NE corner suite with city and lake views, and the Hotel Chicago (Autograph) by River North and they all had good views but weren’t cheap. The latter used to be the office complex part of the corncob buildings and is a block from the river and walking distance to some great restaurants. Neat hotel with a muted, contemporary vibe.

    Otherwise I’m crashing at my daughter’s 5th story walkup in Andersonville that I suspect is an old convent, which is a cool neighborhood vibe with lots of good old school cool restaurants and a shitload of lesbians. It really depends on the vibe you want.

    My wife spent her adolescence in Naperville so she loves going back to the old neighborhood.

  3. Did anybody buy ASTS when I mentioned it?

    It crossed 80 on news that Verizon will be using their sats soon.

    I’m kicking myself for not getting in at $0.25. My kid got in at $4 and is about to use it to buy a house.

    The real user will be the DOD though.

  4. decided to risk our lives ...
    headed to Chicago in two weeks for first time!
    combining with a short road trip to Wisconsin to visit niece, but will have 4 nights. staying near Millinneum Park downtown. 
    will be perusing recent pages for food recs. thought we'd do a boat tour, basically see what TripAdvisor top 10 things to do are.
    might try a show...any suggestions on theaters?
    2.5 hours to Madison, hope it's a pretty drive this time of year...hotel in Madison near the capitol on the isthmus is as much as d/t Chicago!
     

    Boat tour is a must for a first timer, explains a lot about riverfront access and setbacks and why Chicago architecture is unique.

    If you’re staying near Millennium Park, I can recommend Gage as a nice place to eat. Especially if the weather is nice and you can sit outside overlooking Michigan ave and the park.

    Wildberry pancakes is just down the street near Michigan and Randolph and is an awesome breakfast place.

  5. One of my older buddies is retired and fishes Sabine. A lot. About 4 times a week on average. And he basically acts as an unpaid guide, donating trips as a raffle prize to just about every area charity.

    He caught the flesh eating bacteria on his hand, fishing from a boat. All I know is he was in the ICW. Currently in the burn unit at John Sealy hospital in Galveston, and I’m not posting the photos but his right arm below the elbow has no skin. It’s gruesome.

    As a PSA, I guess it’s a good idea to use hand sanitizer or carry some dude wipes, especially as I get older.

  6. I’ve survived and thrived among you people for nearly 1.5 decades by withholding comment on your foot-ball team.

    Having said that, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Red Raiders and Aggies play this even-ing.

    Edit- you can’t run CFL plays in this league, #1.

  7. Why are the Baylor stands so empty in a close, conference game?

    My question exactly, the student section looked about 75% empty in the 4th. Maybe everyone left when the Bears went down 31-17.
  8.  
    beaumont used to have a fancy fried chicken place but they moved to a big spot and failed 
    beaumont friend chicken scene is nothing special !

    Wednesday night special at JWilsons is the best we have.
  9. My daughter (no pics) looked hard at Mizzou for their Journalism School.  We toured the school and had dinner with the Director of the J-School.  That's all I remember.  Had to fly into St Louis and drive over.  I think we were in the parking garage leaving from our visit to the campus where she said "I want to go to UT".

    Hugely different vibe for sure. My daughter’s reaction was “I wanna get the fuck out of Texas” and she really enjoyed the honors college and J school. And her network has been great since everyone ends up in Chicago.

    Sidis I just texted the event director for the city of CoMo to see if there are any newer shouldn’t miss places. Thanks for giving me the reason to reconnect with her.
