Female's blame weight gain on "uncontrollable" factors. The simple physiological truth behind calorie deficits don't resonate.

I mean I agree with this statement. Overall I think the majority of people in the world are just trying to live their life as happily as possible.

Problem is it only takes one instance of running into the minority who don't think that way.

I assume they make much more money than you think. With 80+ home games a year they don't need 50k fans in attendance.

This is anecdotal but probably points to what baseball is versus other sports. I went to a MN twins games last year on a random Tues night when they were out of the playoff running.

I was blown away by how many people were there and engaged with the game / having a good time. The amount of families and kids is impressive, and hoards of young teenagers too. It was just a great atmosphere.

Baseball seems more of an atmosphere / spectator sport than other sports. There aren't drunk trashy dudes with oversized jerseys picking fights. You go to the ballpark to hang with the family, eat a few hotdogs and drink a beer.

5 hours of alone time a day? Please point me to this utopia.

I guess if you count work but I don't consider that alone time.

Everyone says this the first time they use Claude.

The exponential capabilities have been promised since 2023, yet I still have to redirect it to do what I would have done quite often, slightly faster once in a while.

Sure it could be hyperbole. I admit I'm an early Claude user but it has certainly opened my eyes to what Ai is capable of.

The move from just using a chat bot daily to using Cowork feels exponentially better, but maybe I'm just late to the party. Even if it gets marginally better it's a game changer IMO.

Maybe the exponential growth will be more in how people use it rather than its actual capabilities. Regardless, it will fundamentally change how alot of businesses operate sooner than later.

Today is not that day.

What AI puts out is garbage. It's being pumped by leadership at companies, because they aren't in the details.

It saves time summarizing, it might catch grammar mistakes, and it can tell you where to look to find something.

It's absolute shite at creating. Even web design, it's just not good. You can see when AI has created logos or put together a marketing campaign. It can't tell you accounting standards with any sort of accuracy. It gives a vague idea, but usually it's just flat out wrong

I thought this was until about a month ago when I started using Claude.

Now I know that's just completely false. It can spit out client ready deliverables with ease. It can create analytical tools that cut down work from hours to minutes.

I'm seeing it in real time. In 6 months it will be exponentially better. And 6 months from then exponentially better.

IMO it's still early enough that most people haven't picked up on it (hence the replies in this thread). It's still possible to be early but that time is running out.

Depending on your prompt, it's not gonna be any worse than advice you read around the internet. That is, ultimately, it's source for info.

It will likely give decent advice for general investing. It will also likely give horrible advice for individual stock picking.

But alot of Ai is about the prompts you use.

That being said, as a research tool it can be awesome. What used to take multiple sites, sources, earnings calls, etc to compile can now be done in seconds.

It's every other house here in Minneapolis, and it's all political shite.

Sad to hear it has infected Nola too

It's really not that expensive to fly. If you're only paying for yourself you can fly plenty of routes for a couple hundred bucks round trip.

That's attainable for most low income people.

Never thought I had an accent until I moved to MN.

I get 2 words out here and people ask where I'm from.
