    What mistake did he make? This feels like he got jobbed and horrible customer service.

    Mavs are gonna go 2-3 to finish the season. Maybe 3-2. I don't think that gets them there.

    That's actually a great idea. I would hope at a minimum something like this would be talked about in political circles and sessions, but I won't hold my breath.

    All the energy and O&G conferences I have gone to the last year have focused on it; whether it be equality in procurement or sustainability in investments, and most of these are moderated by the Big 4 to be fair, but it's definitely a lip-service topic alive and well from the back-office corporate functions.

    I'm probably not going to go, some of my peers are though and I'll get the download. With AI/AGI and chatgpt and all these things being so hot I thought it was interesting to see the Petroleum club introduce some topicality into the usual mix. I'm about sick of hearing about ESG and sustainability as the injection of topical industry drivers.

    @Porterhouse Is Dallas PC doing anything similar to this event that you know of: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/american-petroleum-institute-april-11th-general-meeting-tickets-595063961327?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

    @BrisketexanI thought of you as I read this part. I think the bold is something that, if you could wrap your mind around it, would help with the conceptualization of how "Christians" aren't Christians as that seems to be your favorite drum to beat. Here is the full article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/03/how-christian-is-christian-nationalism

    Regarding Republican congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett and when he said he homeschooled his daughter: New Yorker had a good piece about why homeschooling isn't a panacea:

    Worthy to note: Texas seems to be catching up with Colorado and California where this already exists, in making diapers (adult and infant) and period products and others like it tax-free. This is bipartisan and a good thing that shows Texas has signs of life yet (per the thread title). Passed the house at least: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2023/03/28/texas-house-tentatively-passes-bill-eliminating-sales-tax-from-diapers-period-products/

    From what I can tell, the only people who aren't in agreement that TikTok needs to be regulated and/or banned are young naïve people who love to consume TikTok and/or TikTok influencers and people who stand to gain from TikTok. Everyone else is just arguing the nuances, it seems.

    I'm being serious this is a good thing (and apropos to this thread, California was already doing this it looks like and we are catching up there): Not sure why @royiv hates women and parents. This is a fine outcome.

    I know how to access chatgpt but how do you get bard?

    I read that diapers and period products are now tax free in Texas. That seems good.

    Anyone going to Opening Day?

    Apparently TikTok has back up plans: https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/28/tiktok-ban-backup-plan-bytedance-owned-instagram-rival-lemon8-hits-the-u-s-app-stores-top-10/ Lemon8, the TikTok alternative made by…TikTok parent company ByteDance has cracked the US App Store’s Top 10 list as lawmakers mull banning TikTok

    Stat: Getting into an Ivy League school is hard, but paying for it may be harder. The cost of attending classes in a Gothic building is approaching $90,000 per year, according to Bloomberg. While ~50% of students at these institutions receive financial aid (enough that one economist said the price of attendance has gone down for students from households making less than $125k), it still puts the sticker price for becoming someone people roll their eyes at when you name-drop your school above the annual income of many US families. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-28/how-much-is-ivy-league-school-education-costs-are-nearing-90-000-a-year

    The egg shortage that’s had consumers paying 70% more YoY wasn’t bad for everyone — last quarter’s profits were up 718% YoY for Cal-Maine Foods, America’s largest egg producer.

    Reading up about Zlatan, this outro was pretty funny about baseball: On 13 November 2019, Ibrahimović announced he was to leave the LA Galaxy through his Twitter account, telling Galaxy fans "[Y]ou wanted Zlatan, I gave you Zlatan. You are welcome. The story continues...Now go back to watch baseball

    One of my all time favorite explanations of Tik Tok which I've shared before is from that venerable Cosby-killer, Hannibal Burress: Q) Hannibal, How would you explain TikTok to your great-grandparents? A) A record player but it keeps skipping and it’s a video and it’s Chinese face-scanning software.

    Watching that replay (and thanks for the links for the reference for those of us who aren't soccer fans), the announcer on the scorpion kick just seemed dumbfounded and almost defeated. "Oh my gosh what was that."

    Read it again now (it takes 15 minutes) and tell me what you think. It was kinda jarring for me.

    New Yorker article discussing a little bit about the changes in Logan Roy, potentially, as well as the other Roy Children:
  23. HamsterHookah
    Maybe so. Which, Greg showed some cojones with his “where are your kids!?” Roast line. I guess we are to infer that Greg’s dad is/was closet gay based on Logan’s response or was he just being vulgar in his responding insult?

    I think taking the focus off Sam’s character arc and political storyline definitely helps as that was a yawner, and having it be more sports focused and proxy-battle versus Rupert. Zava has been a fun addition and we will see some good buddy comedy of oil and vinegar with Roy and Tart working together.
  25. HamsterHookah
    I think the show tried to show Logan working through some higher order relational thinking though, as he sees the end is near (and we know the end of the show is near), in his pondering about spiritual afterlife, telling Colin he is his pal, asking about the nature of people (and how they are just peons that create markets) and even his lament that people don’t tell jokes anymore. It seems as if Logan might be a character that grows this season beyond what we’ve seen that would allow him to take care of Tom, maybe
