  2. I wish they showed us the judges scorecards for every battle. Sometimes the average scores don't really match up with the judges comments and it's a bit baffling as to how they are scoring things.

  7. I think 7 is par. 6 is outstanding and less than that means you need to buy lottery tickets. ~~~ Wordle 649 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Been a long dry spell since I got one in 3 guesses.

  8. You can tell ChatGPT to respond in a particular style or voice and it will mimic it (as long as that style/voice is famous or well defined/understood).
  9. I'm watching folks try to argue with ChatGPT and it's kind of funny. ChatGPT doesn't get mad, flustered or discouraged. It just keeps regurgitating more or less the same answer time after time.

  11. edit: nevernmind - I saw a refence to 2021 in the text but it looks like the data/charts are based upon 2018 data.
  12. Thanks for sharing that Foosters. It looks like they have updated data on the page mentioned at the bottom: https://itep.org/whopays/
  13. More: https://www.cato.org/blog/are-taxes-really-lower-california-texas It's all about the nuance.
  14. IIRC, Neon once professed in these forums to have a libertarian political bias, but lately he is an advocate for authoritarian lambasting of things he doesn't like. He's found a censorship hat that fits him and he likes it.
  15. Don't cancel me bro. Scammers - folks who violate the law - should be prosecuted. SBF will get what he deserves. Legal industries should not get debanked at the whim of the Executive branch no matter how much you consider them to be poopyheads.

  18. See linked article in OP and then post #4: https://www.pmbug.com/threads/gold-bitcoin-and-money.5076/
  19. The bottom 2 teams both made their beds with their dish selection. It doesn't take a James Beard award winner to figure out that Fish & Chips and Scottish Egg were both going to be the hardest dishes on the slate to elevate/reinterpret and execute well for ~48 portions. Amar is lucky he didn't go home for his bone headed lobbying for F&C. The Thai lady only has herself to blame for the Egg choice.
  20. That's not LIDO's fault. It's how Etherium2 was designed and rolled out. Last I heard, Etherium's Shanghai update is supposed to go live April 12. That update will allow everyone to unstake Etherium.
  21. I had been thinking about ordering a Ledger Nano X for some time. With Coinbase in the crosshairs of the Eye of Sauron, I finally got off my duff and ordered one. It arrived this morning and I spent some time getting it set up and transfering some crypto I owned on Coinbase over to it. It was pretty easy. https://shop.ledger.com/?referral_code=HW6BPZ0SQ9H5C If you were considering getting one, using that referral link to order should reward you with $10 of Bitcoin.
  22. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/24/deutsche-bank-is-not-the-next-credit-suisse-analysts-say-as-panic-spreads.html Will those comments age well?
