The law is 100ft per the attorney in the video. 93 yards is 279ft.
I've owned a number of Apple laptops through the years. The Macbook Air I bought in early 2020 (still the Intel chip) was by far the worse Apple laptop I've ever owned, and that includes the touchbar Macbook Pro. It was also the first Apple laptop I got rid of. Surprisingly, Apple gave me close to $300 when I traded it in on the latest Macbook Pro.

Will it always be this way, no, but right now there is no intelligence in the term "AI". It's just a statistical model of historical output of humans and best guesses to answer your prompt with zero ability or responsibility to know if what it generated actually works.

I don't pay for premium, and I don't see ads. Granted, I only watch YouTube on devices I can run an ad blocker (laptop with Firefox, Brave on iOS).

The turbo charged 4 has as much horsepower as the 5.4L V8 in my F150. It moves the Bronco just fine.

I'm OT poor, but my 2 door Bronco Badlands with a manual is fun to drive, though still waiting for the reservoirs on the shocks to fall off.

But this is the OT, you need a Super Bronco with a 7.3L V8.

Bryce Harper wasn't drafted out of high school. He was drafted out of JUCO.


While true, Harper left high school after 10th grade to play JUCO for one year in order to be drafted in 2010 instead of 2011 after he graduated high school.

This is the thread where all the people that are productive in WFH don't realize that many people are NOT productive and you simply can't only hire productive WFH people at a large company like Dell.


Dell supported WFH well before Covid. To implement this policy now after many years of hiring remote workers is just idiotic. If I was still at Dell, I would be flipping a coin to either continue working and keep a paycheck coming in while looking for a new job, or just give my two weeks and enjoy some time off while looking for a new job.
Did a week long training in Pittsburgh back some time around 2007 or so. One day after the class finished, I drove into Pittsburgh to find some food. Not one single business was open downtown. A culinary school was letting out and all the students were catching the bus and leaving. Finally found a pub near the baseball stadium. Next day, two guys from Pittsburgh were shocked I went into Pittsburgh after dark.

He took the foul ball to the hand in top of the 3rd after throwing out a runner. Hit the GS in bot of 3rd. Milazzo came in to catch in top of the 4th.
And rest of the world can also get a 70 series.

Compared to other services with ads, I find Hulu to just be a pain in the arse with how they serve ads.

For example, Peacock will either show ads before the show, then at an interval, or they will show a few minutes of ads, then rest of show is ad free.

I recently tried watching the latest Justified on Hulu. First two episodes were ok with how they chose to run ads, but when I started the third episode, they literally ran an add before the show started, ran previews for the previous week, then ran another ad longer than the first. I didn't even bother to watch the episode or the rest of the season.
Time for Box prices to go up again.

CU got a turnover on the first possession but TCU went through them easily. Same on the next possession. That may not bode well for them as this goes on.


That was the second possession. First possession, TCU went 3 and out.

TCU's defense on the other hand isn't exactly stopping Colorado's offense.

Anyone think there will be a reverse trend at some point? A push to start going back in to work?


I've WFH for the last 13 years, for some quite large tech companies during that time. It's nothing new, just new for some companies recently.

I've also been laid off for not wanting to relocate to an office location to appease a VP that wanted all team members together in one location...not just the WFH people, but also employees working at another company site. That company has since reversed that position when they were having issues hiring new employees.
