I take that back, Cam smith definitely hurt himself long term by leaving. I was more saying that Nieman hurt his rise. His stock was shooting up, but because he didn’t have the major wins and exemptions that those other guys had, so I think he got conned into believing they’d be getting owgr points for major qualifying.

His game was also bad at the time when he left that he said he wasn’t sure if he could be competitive at the top of the PGA tour. Cut at the masters, 55th at the pga, 55th at the us open. He was dealing with one of his injuries at the time, I think his wrist. Plus he leveraged a spot for his brother on LIV who got relegated after the first season. Similar with Bryson, hadn’t had a top 25 at a major in a few years, cut at the masters, dealing with injuries. At the time it looked like both of them saw LIV as an easy insurance policy if their game really was in decline. DJ’s game actually was in decline, but I think the mountain of cash and zero pressure accelerated that. The only guys that were at the top of their game when they left were Cam Smith and Rahm. The only player that I think hurt themself by leaving was Nieman. I think if he’d have stayed he’d be a top 10 player and legit star.

Take the donor list for Trump’s ballroom, sort it by the amount donated. That’s the order in which bailouts will be given.

You guys are killing me with the amount of golf you play. My season only runs from April - October, and I still don’t come close. Just didn’t have enough time. 19 rounds, plus a few team events, on 16 courses. Hardest course by rating was Mid Pines @ 72.3 / 138. I think pinehurst #2 played harder, but I played like shit at both so it was hard to tell. The real disappointment of the season was going from 14.1 to 16.5. I finished last season strong and was planning to try to get from 14 to <12 to try to make a run at single digits next season. Not enough time to practice and pinehurst beating me up for a week sent me in the wrong direction. Went into that week as 14.1, left at 17.8. Going from 16.5 to 9 in one season seems unlikely.

What Cuban misses in his post, I think, is that he and people like him are incapable of thinking like a true creative, because all he is able to think in is sellable units. How can I move more widgets, how can I sell tickets at a higher profit margin, how can I get more eyes, more clicks, more conversions? How do I get more iteration? And he completely fails to understand that the joy of creating, genuine creativity, comes in part through loving the process. The musician, the artist, the writer, they do the thing because they love doing the thing, and they’d do it if there was money to be made or not. The brilliance in the true creativity is born out of a love of the process. But all he can consider is “if I offload the process to AI, I can sell more creativity.”

Wordle 1,641 5/6 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 When I saw those first two green I knew i was either fucked or needed to get lucky. After the 4th line I stared at my phone like a monkey trying to figure out an encyclopedia for a lot longer than I’d like to admit.

That’s cool. I knew you had connections, didn’t know they went straight to the top. My dad and his friends had 16 tickets split 8/8 in the first two rows of the second level center of the end zone at three rivers. And with that stadium stacked like it was that was a great spot to watch the game from. It was a great family vibe growing up going to those games knowing everyone around us. We kept them into Heinz field but once the older guys started dying off and my dad got into his late 70s he started to lose interest and at the time it was hard for me to get to games very often. The only games I really miss are the playoff games, but I guess the Steelers don’t really do those anymore.

Ha. I was at that game. Western PA football playoffs had 4 games on Friday, Pitt played on Saturday. The field was destroyed. They didn’t have time before Monday night to fully replace the sod so they just played the new layer on top. A long rain delay right before the game and the field was just 8 inches of mud.

There are times where I miss having Steelers season tickets. This is not one of those times.

It’s a ceramic protective top coat, so you’d put it over the Rubio. I’ve never used it, so I’m not really qualified to speak to its viability, but like a ceramic topcoat for a car, there are use cases for it and others where it’s not worth the price. Ceramic on a car is going to protect the clear coat on a car that is exposed to the elements but generally well taken care of. It’s not going to do anything when someone opens their door into it in a parking lot. A coffee table made out of an impossible to replace slab of redwood burl that someone might set a drink down on without a coaster? Probably worth it. A white oak or maple dining room table in a house with young kids that is going to get abused relentlessly, I’d probably have a hard time justifying the price.

It’s hard for me to be convinced on $126 for two 1 oz bottles. But I guess if you’re selling $20k tables, the finishing cost is irrelevant.
