Yup, AI isn't going anywhere. Sure, some companies won't make it, but this is not something firms will back off of. Internally, it's reducing headcount for many, and will continue to do so. That's one big way its profitable. Externally, it has become part of a product's very framework. It does...

I like these moves. Q and Sauce made some nice plays on occasion, but honestly, the Jets were terrible with these guys. Even with the decent defensive rankings the last few years, did any of you ever feel we had a great D that could shut down the other team when needed? I sure didn't. I could...

I'm enjoying OW2 a lot. It's much closer to F:NV in feel than the first. It also seems to be more of a true RPG where your skills / skillchecks matter. You can and will be locked out of things because there are not enough skill points to be good at everything. The game makes it pretty clear by...

Heh, yea that one too. Hans thanks you for your dedication. Did you get to the "sneak through the camp at night" one yet? There's another YT walkthrough. Agreed on this game though - as far as a Medieval RPG, it's just off the charts despite a few clunky/hard levels like we're talking about...

Outer Worlds 2 (out on Gamepass) is fantastic. I never got into the first one - I wanted to like it, but something just didn't click for me. This one is muuuch better. Fallout: New Vegas vibes for sure.

I have a white t-shirt that I bloodied up with the fake blood. Have a crazy long black wig, and put on some black eye makeup... wife says it looks pretty scary. Then I wrote in magic marker on the front of the shirt "ask me about my kids" The back of the bloody shirt says "they were delicious".

bumpity bump.... up early this morning because I'm doing a 9lb pork shoulder overnight. Just using a grillmates bbq rub and adding some brown sugar. Got the grill going around 7:30pm last night and it took an hour to get it stable at around 230 degrees. Put the shoulder on about 8:30, went to...

Big cereal guy here too. Almost any cereal. I like eating it late at night best, especially after a little weed. Sadly, that's increasingly bothersome as I get older (the late-night food, not the weed!)

I just finished the System Shock 2 remaster on xbox. It's really good. If you played the original way back when, you'll definitely like this - it's a faithful remaster. The combat is a little clunky by modern standards, and the inventory is still Tetris-lite, but otherwise it controlled and...

I do this for plenty of games now. I like a good challenge on some games, but for others, the story/adventure are more important to me than the combat. Once it gets frustrating I have no problem dialing it down.

Not snarky, but sincere: For all the guys surprised at what ChatGPT can do, I truly hope you're at the point in your career where you would be prettymuch ok with a layoff. Because if not, you are quickly falling behind. If your job involves a desk, you should get as comfortable with AI as you can.

The last time I used one my stop loss turned out to be the very bottom.

This is what I've been doing. I bought PLTR at $14, more at $17, and more at $30. I was very happy riding that up, but around $150 I sold about 75% of it, for no other reason than it made me uncomfortable. I happily put that money into QQQ instead. I look at this way - I still have enough shares...

I probably own 1500 - 2000 dvs's/blu-rays. Loosely arranged by genre. All kinds of stuff. I always liked movie stores in the 80's and 90's, so my office/mancave is part movie store.

My wife: we just moved to NC. Why not leave those Jets behind and pick a new team. Me: Not possible. You can't change teams. I can make the Panthers a strong #2, but I'm a Jet fan forever. My Wife: But I'm your second wife. Are you saying a football team is more important than a wife? Me...
