After Noah Brown getting some love I thought I'd check in on our boy Cedrick Wilson and how is he doing this year after getting a 3 year 22mm deal with the Dolphins after we declined to pay him (as you remember, cheap/min. guy out of the 6th round). Stats updated after today losing to the Chargers: in 14 weeks, 9 receptions on 14 targets for 96 yards 0 TD's and a long of 12 yards.

Any tint on the front/windshield is illegal. The other windows you can get pretty dark legally.

I have ONLY ever used our air compressor for a nail gun.

Yea, which is why (as you know, but for the benefit of the broader audience) there are ethical considerations and committees and teams dedicated to Big Data and Machine Learning, as depending on the inputs you can get biased or even racist "AI". I haven't followed up on it but about a year ago there was a big controversy of Google firing their ML ethics leader or something and it allegedly being unethical.

No.

That's a fantastic example of what sort of "grey market" I'm looking for as you called it-- but this is even better with the papers.

Thanks, I've been putzing around on Jomashop all morning.

What is the best place to get the best commercial deal on a decent watch? I don't want to pay retail. Any good little internet honeypots you watch fanatics have come across?

Thanks. @ me when you respond so I don't miss it, please. I'm in serious consternation and thought about what it means to be a professional artist, even if one's destiny is to be a minor artist. I'm sure there is an visual artists rendition of the famous Hemingway quote, “Write without pay until someone offers pay,” Mark Twain advised, “If nobody offers within three years, the candidate may look upon this as a sign that sawing wood is what he was intended for.” “We all dream the same dream, to become important artists. Most of us never achieve it. But I like to believe the collective dream of the thousand is necessary for the one to emerge.”

I haven't been nearly as impressed with this as the entire tech bro thought leader community, that's for sure.

@RDCanecutter would you ever break away from your production to humor us and answer questions-- or maybe just give a short lecture-- on what it is to be an artist. A professional artist even? I'm specifically curious about your theory, your motivation, your muse/voice, and what you are aiming to say. If it's simply "just make money" that's cool too. I ask because I'm reading an interesting book by one of the forefathers of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky (the book is Concerning the Spiritual in Art), and one of the famous things he says that struck me was, "Art is born from the inner necessity of the artist in an enigmatic, mystical way through which it acquires an autonomous life; it becomes an independent subject, animated by a spiritual breath." In this way Cezanne made a living thing out of a teacup. Matisse painted "pictures" but in those "pictures" he endeavored to reproduce the divine-- and oscillated between selling out as a hack with "dainty sense of melody" as a typical French painting while other times in his career producing true inward and artistic harmony. And Picasso "shrank from no innovation, if color seemed likely to balk him in his search for pure artistic form, he throws it overboard and paints a picture in brown and white; the problem of purely artistic form being the real problem of his life". How beautiful. How worthy. To the artistic pursuit of inward harmony and spiritual awakening and truth-- how can that be anything other than a life well lived? Can you talk about your life as an artist in a serious way to us? Or at least semi-serious as you are a man of unflinching humor and wit, so allowances must be made.

I thought I had a torn rotator cuff, did X-Rays and MRI and turned out to be a Labrum (sp?), which if caught early enough, is much better. Still sucks.

This comment killed me: I didn't realise the mucinex booger had a husband

Finished this book; curious to hear if anyone else has read it recently and has an opinion. It was good, don’t get me wrong, but it was touted as a masterpiece and one of the most profound book written on death and moral questions of a life well-lived, which I found to be be an overselling of such topics. Maybe it was ground breaking in the late 1800’s when it was published, but I find it hard to believe it was a novel voice and perspective even then. I did enjoy it and it was a short read, so 7/10.

In the spirit of the season, I submit these amazing vocals on an all-time classic:

Just watched the full 9 minute video of GnR's November Rain (h/t to Thor Love and Thunder): Slash leaves the church, cigarette in mouth with shirtless leather jacket, leather straps over denim tucked into cowboy boots and just lays down one of the most beautiful guitar solos ever. I'll give it a pass if you are a rock star, I guess.
