A friend of mine and I asked our dads if we could go see the Exorcist in 1973 when we were 12. They figured it was just like the horror movies we watched on Saturday afternoons. When my buddy’s dad dropped us off the girl at the ticket booth asked him if he was sure he was ok with it, he said yep. When my dad picked us up he said he never saw two whiter boys in his life.

I couldn’t stand the Audrey Raines character. There were so many other women on that show that were a better match with Jack.
Was at a wedding where the future brother in law had his jacket off, backed into a candle and his shirt caught on fire.
I’m a Trump supporter, but this is getting ridiculous.

Just level the entire coastline near the Strait of Hormuz on the Iranian side.
Gemini isn’t considering distributed computing. Elon has a way of seeing markets others don’t.
I’m actually a bit concerned about the access being granted. Financial info combined with all your other queries provides quite a bit of data to OpenAI.
Actually noticing a few New Yorkers here. Makes a sense as there’s a train station about 15 minutes from the course that has a direct connection from New York Penn Station.
Philly golf fans are not your typical Philly sports fan. Very different demographic.

Currently sitting in the grandstand at 18.
Bonds already exist as part of your balance. The pension is a future revenue stream. If you’re referring to a cash balance pension, then that’s a bond, since their return is generally tied to treasuries.

The only problem with this is the movie may be too long for kids.
Just saw Film Threat’s first reaction. Said it’s for kids, basically 4 episodes stitched together. They did like it better than the sequel trilogy though.

A breakthrough in efficiency would result in higher demand for chips, memory etc.


I’m basing this on comments from the All In guys, who are experts in this space. While there would be a demand for chips, older chips would be able to take advantage of these efficiencies, which would disrupt the need for rapid advancement in high end chips. Companies would be able to make do with older chips for their needs.

Two things

My black swan example was to create a temporary disruption. It wouldn’t break it forever.

Re Deep Seek, they presented it as a LLM leap. They failed to disclose that they were using NVidia chips in the background.

This isn’t like ‘99, but a couple of things could happen.

1)Black swan event (ie Covid)
2)There’s a coding efficiency created by AI that reduces the need for energy and chips. This would hit the chipmakers but the Anthropics etc would flourish. People thought this was the case with Deep Seek, but it turns out they were lying (Chinese, go figure).

For now the computer shortage is actually tempering things a little . I suspect that will be the first thing to “pop” once they increase capacity and steady state is reached. That could be years away though.
Looking at the tip of the UAE that enters the Strait, I’m surprised they haven’t thought about building a canal on their territory that negates the need for Iran.

I remember in junior high a kid going after a teacher at a school dance. Teacher was carrying a clipboard. One swing and the kid was out.
