  1. I have a Disney + Hulu bundle. Can I watch ESPN on Hulu now? If so, sweet, saved $90.
  2. What's going on here, we can't use Youtube TV anymore to watch the Longhorns? Literally the only use case I have for paying $90/month is Longhorns and sometimes other SEC games.
  3. I had a guy on my street I'm friendly with (former ACC football coach, he has given me crap about the horns for years) who listed and couldn't get what he wanted ($1.1mm ish range). He did some work in the back yard with a new pergola and kitchen, etc. and relisted at $1.2. Sat for what felt like 9 months (at least 6, no joke) with various re-pricing strategies, etc. and you could visibly see the palpable shame he wore with not being able to sell it. It's like he took it personally and it was a ding on his character and identity. He would get visibly nervous and shaken up by talking about it and so nobody brought it up anymore at community events, etc. Then one day he quietly delisted. Weird story, eh?
  4. The direct opposite of the UTD persona. Rushtok out front shoulda told ya.
  5. That's a fair response. I also heard his response he gave and think it was perfectly reasonable as well. Again, where is the controversy?
  6. My understanding (and I could be wrong as I've spent about 1 minute caring and reading about it) was that he was asked about it and asked to comment/explain and hence you get the clip.
  7. I'm missing this one. There is actually nothing wrong, if you are a Christian, with remaining married to a non-believer. 1 Corinithians 12-16 There are countless people who get married before being born again as Christians and many times it's the wife or the husband only with the other party remaining in unbelief, this isn't all that unique and certainly nothing controversial.
  8. Seriously!? Get out.
  9. Suno* Udio is another player (Gen AI that produces music based on simple prompts) people will get to know. I'm all for AI in music because the music industry and the labels seem to be a very inefficient way to conduct a market.
  10. Can we use AI to TL'DR a summary of a 44 minute rant?
  11. Throw back back being an almost 40 year old in the traps And since it's Halloween, a great video for the day, plus a continuation of the Memphis theme:
  12. Yea we have a few AI threads that all are addressing the same things. We should pick one and stick with it.
  13. It's a bubble! I'm all in!
  14. Pliney the Prompter is such a fantastic name.
  15. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/government-shutdown-latest-trump-washington-senate-talks/ The fact this isn’t completely dominating headlines like last time is a pretty good indicator of how much more volatile broken our world has become since 2019 and how this isn't going to be resolved before breaking the record.
  16. It's amazing what financial incentive and alignment will do for a man's mindset. I'm all in on the AI is ushering in a hellscape and AI bubble will bust leading to a market correction (and/or crash). I'm a BrisketTexan, cue the gif of One of us! One of us!
  17. Technodystopian Cyber Punk is the way I am starting to envision the future.
  18. AP journalists have revealed the US once tried to turn Nicolás Maduro’s personal pilot against him, in hopes he’d divert a flight and deliver the despot into US custody. (AP) The plot (initiated under Biden) mirrors last year’s capture of Sinaloa Cartel boss ‘El Mayo’. The decision to leak the details now likely stems from the fact the pilot ultimately refused, and publicising the plot would still fuel Maduro’s paranoia. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u-s-attempted-to-lure-maduros-pilot-into-betraying-the-venezuelan-leader
  19. I was told the US Beef industry was in an absolute crisis. I guess it's learning about the tottempole nazis and reading the tattooist of auschiwitz again.
  20. What's interesting is the AI Bubble and how it's going to impact not just us, but the entire world, when it pops. And further, the China cold war: US stocks now make up ~56% of the world’s public market cap; America’s Mag7 AI stocks in turn make up a third of the US market cap alone; and their AI infrastructure build-out alone is driving a ~third of all US economic growth. So any ‘pop’ might rattle not just the US economy, but the world’s economy. It’d also hit a key pillar (US tech dominance) now balancing the world’s concerns about US political risk. Second, an AI pop would have downstream impacts on other sectors like energy, where there are already countless billions in AI-related energy projects in the US alone. And third, a pop would also shape US-China competition, which is already in turn shaping this century: Nvidia’s chips are now arguably America’s biggest source of leverage. But the result of that leverage is the two rivals are now bifurcating into two parallel, algorithmic blocs built on parallel stacks and supply chains. So any AI pop — inevitably slowing US investments and therefore advances — could end up less like the global 2008 meltdown, and more specifically shifting our world’s centre of gravity even further east.
  21. Yea, this. I wonder if Hamas went into the agreement knowing "we ain't got some of these that they think we got, what are we gonna do?" and someone said "just shut up and sign it, we'll figure something out".
  22. Took a long time but now there are a handful. It's wild. nVidia @ $5T is an "obvious yea duh" moment in either direction; a hyperinflated bust waiting to happen or a steadfast, best company in the world and positioned well for the next 10-15 years. I personally don't think we can determine which in hindsight, but I made a big, scary financial bet this morning on the former and put in a big short this AM eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk. happy halloween, this is scary because I could lose it all or make a million or two!
  23. This makes me think. There has to be a huge (TMZ-esque, million dollars for photos paparazzi snaps of like Michael Jackson's baby so People magazine can publish it first, type huge) market for some real uncut footage of Dotard. Imagine getting a drone and sneakily filming him actually paying golf and getting 3 hours and 18 holes of footage. You could retire on that tape.
