Gotdammit I love you. Your responses to that douche warm my heart.

Oof. I’m a Kraken fan, but they looked so lost out there. Toronto picking their pockets all game and making them spend so much time in the D zone. Not sure what the fix is, but it seems like guys didn’t know where to send the puck next, as of the team hasn’t gelled yet. Hopefully they find their rhythm down the stretch.

Tom Cardy is a bit obscure but boy does it feel good to drop one of his songs at the right time! The set up was too perfect, so thanks for posting about Human Centipede!

Obligatory Red Flags

Real talk here. My company used McKinsey in the utilities sector and they were paid millions to come in and lean out our processes. The result was that half of the consultants got moved to other projects, our internal processes got fucked with no clear improvement, and McKinsey walked away with millions. Their biggest contribution was death by PowerPoint.

Awesome! Thanks!

NGL it’s pretty damned impressive how you made a gif from this. Is there an AI video renderer out there or did you feed a bunch of picture prompts into a generator and create it that way? However you did it, fantastic job!

Thanks bud, I appreciate the clarification! Hope you have a good rest of your week!

Sorry about that - not well versed on the difference between the classes. I originally thought an ebike was a bike with an electric motor attached, but I’ve seen quite a few articles about wheeled conveyances that I wouldnt classify as a bike being called one. My bad

It’s a super compact ebike - basically a suitcase with wheels but it’s just at $1,000. Personally I’d love to get one and know full well this suitcase bike isn’t anything like the Super73 but it’s really to showcase the floor for these types of bikes:

Honda Suitcase Bike

Not gonna lie - it looks great. Just wondering what the price point for this will be. I feel like it might be in a weird spot - you can get ebikes from Honda for under $1k and if you flirt with anything higher than $5k you start to compete with gas bikes. Hopefully it’s priced in a good range there to be competitive.

IIRC, one of the biggest reasons the state promotes monogamy is because our legal system is designed for two-party disputes and isn’t well equipped to handle deviations from that. Consider what divorce proceedings would look like in this new social system with our current legal system - what is already a protracted process would be exponentially longer.

If you wanted to escape from these kinda of situations from a state viewpoint, you’d need to rebuild the legal system to handle the new interactions. I’m not making a value judgement but rather speaking to the mechanical aspects of changing a social norm with widespread effect.

As someone who has worked for a number of transmission companies, $1.3 Billion dollars is a laughable investment. Duke Energy spent the better part of last year trying to find $54 Billion for it’s capital investment projects.

Most electric transmission companies in the US spend this much on capital projects on an annual basis. I like the idea of investing in our infrastructure but this is money wasted

That’s what I thought as I was watching it, but I thought it was some 5D chess thing that I was too dumb to see. I thought, “they’re gonna need two more field goals or another touchdown anyway.”

The ONLY thing I can think of is that they were thinking too far ahead and assumed the TD+2 was in the bag and wanted to prevent a FG loss. Even then that’s a HUGE assumption.

Yeah, you said it best. It makes ZERO fucking sense.

Can anyone explain why the raiders opted for a field goal there instead of going for it?
