how could he be more professional?
by not positioning himself

infront of her car.
As I explained above, the officer placed himself in front a subjects vehicle while it was being operated, which is both common sense and against protocol of just about every department in the country, because if the car moves forward for whatever reason, whether accidental or intentional, he is shooting.
Whether or not someone is told to stop is irrelevant because they could accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake or something else entirely.
It's really not that complicated. She fricked up, and he fricked up. He's also supposed to be the professional. They're both in the wrong. If either one of them doesn't frick up, she isn't dead and the country isn't at each others throats as much as we were yesterday.

It’s so shocking that all the OT Moderates are up in her simping for the bitch who tried to murder a federal agent. It’s amazing how a liberal’s view point of absolutely anything is 100% predictable. Total mindless lockstep.
Very few, including myself, on this board are simping for this woman. She didn't need to be there, and panicked when the car should've been in park.
But we should also demand more from officers who are supposed to be professionals, because this event will without-a-doubt only make things far worse for everyone in an increasingly divided country, especially ICE and others in law enforcement who are actually doing their jobs as they are supposed to.
There are no winners today and you'd be wrong for believing otherwise.

Whether or not the cop should stand in front of her is department policy. It’s also irrelevant bc she isn’t supposed to try to run him over, policy or not.
She's probably an entirely insufferable human. Most anyone whose politics are their entire personality are which are often the types that protest at these places.
But humor me for a second. What if she wasn't trying to run him over? It's entirely possible, if not probable, that in the 2 seconds of adrenaline and chaos of her backing up and trying to evade the other office who was grabbing at something in her cab, that she didn't even see the guy in front, or at least thought she had turned the wheel enough that she was going to miss him. Maybe the other officer even hit the steering wheel or her arm in the process. He was reaching for something in through the window after all.
That's why the shooting officer's erroneous position in front of the car is a huge issue and something absolutely 0 departments teach. If she moved the car in his general direction, even accidentally, he put himself in a position where he was forced to make a fatal and hugely consequential decision.

They might be the most trained and most equipped federal law enforcement agency that we have.
There's no police training curriculum in the world that tells an officer that they should position themselves in front of an occupied vehicle (which he did as seen in the longer video I linked above), always from the side. She's not blameless, but the officer certainly isn't either.
If this instead was a car wreck in a state with modified comparative negligence, insurance would deem them both at fault.

Here you go. Watch it slowly. The agent is directly in front of the car and she gunned it.

Oof. This video is brutal.
On one hand, the woman should've put the car in park and not panicked and she'd still be alive today.
On the other, what the hell is the supposedly-professional agent doing? In the longer version, it shows him walking both behind and in front of the car which goes against every bit of vehicle training fundamentals that officers are given when a car is occupied by a subject. Never would've happened had he approached from the side, but Barnes v. Felix all over again because of awful positioning.
This is gonna get messy. Here's your powderkeg.

Should I keep updating the OP during the winter or just wait until spring when the grass is growing again?
I reference this thread all the time. Keeping it updated for the winter as well would be fantastic if it's not too much trouble.
From a former field engineer myself, thanks for doing this!

re: Will "Learn to Weld" become the new "Learn to Code" with AI coming for the coding jobs?
Posted by 904 on 12/22/25 at 1:15 pm to UltimaParadox
Spot on.
More often than not, it takes me longer to troubleshoot most AI-written code for anything more than a small handful of lines than it does to just write it myself from scratch, and some studies have backed this up. Its most useful purpose is as a Google/Stack Overflow replacement or automating the mundane.
Still a total game changer and an incredible tool once you figure out the best way to use it in your workflow.

It is the corner cases that AI actually increases the number of issues that hard to troubleshoot because the developers are not as intimately versed in the code.

It's also seeing CEOs with pies on their faces because they're realizing that least some of those employees who were let go actually needed to be retained, and that there's a rehiring boomerang phase going on in some areas.

It will likely settle somewhere in the middle for the time being.

When AGI becomes a reality, almost all white collar jobs will disappear in a month.
That's hyperbole. The massive dystopian economic issues resulting from something like that notwithstanding, it's going to take much more time than that to trickle down, and even then, you'll still need white collar workers.

But if you have a hundred coders before AI, you won't still need 100 hand holders after AI.
I agree with that. AI is a tool that's going to rapidly improve efficiency and already has in many cases. Unless I misinterpreted, the poster I was responding to is saying that you won't even need hand holders for more than 3 months.
You'll always need IT professionals to both provide maintenance and direction to AI, even if it's less of them in the industry.

You are either in denial or fundamentally do not understand the changes coming.
Prompt engineering? Seriously? For what, about 3 months.
If you've ever dealt with clients or employees who don't know anything about software and the web besides how to Google something, which is just about all of them, you'd know he's not wrong.
You're going to need experienced, professional human eyes to integrate technologies, issue prompts, or make sure edge cases are being properly accounted for, and probably all of them, otherwise you're going to end up with a bad product and/or a client who spins their wheels into an unsustainable mess because they don't know what they don't know. I don't see that changing anytime soon for any project that needs the slightest bit of customization or complexity.
TLDR: The weakest link isn't AI, it's an uninformed human using it.
Beaver's greens were in great shape, emphasis on "green" with the fertilizer. Much slicker than they looked as well.

Been a little while since Beaver Creek and Santa Maria were updated. Looking to get out on Friday.
Anyone been out to either of those recently?

Well this law around not being an illegal immigrant is pretty universal so no real reason to play your hypothetical game.
The law I used as an example is not a hypothetical in the slightest as being a Christian is punishable by death in Afghanistan.
quote:
Romans 13:1, obey the law of the land. End of discussion
So what happens when the law of the land doesn't agree with the Bible? For example...
It's currently illegal to be a Christian and practice in Afghanistan, yet Matthew 28:18-20 instructs all believers to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". So which is it?
Point being, Christianity and its values cannot always coexist with man-made laws.
quote:
Pilate
... and then Pilate gave in to the Jewish leaders to allow him to be crucified because he recognized that Jesus had broken the law by claiming himself as the Son of God, which was taken as opposition to Caesar.
quote:- John 19:7, 15, 16
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
...
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.
If Jesus wanted to make sure he wasn't breaking any laws, he wouldn't have proclaimed as such.
Regardless, the Jesus as described in the Bible would not have generalized illegal immigrants as mass rapists, thieves, murderers, etc., and conversely would have offered help, guidance, and forgiveness on an individual by individual basis.

I don't think he would care about human-made laws, only intent.
Some of it is dependent on your technique and how firm, soft, or tight the course you're playing is, but I'd generally lean toward your 54 being the around the greens/chipping club.
It's easier to make better contact with lower lofted wedges, and 58 is getting close to lob wedge territory where your only option is to go high.
As an aside, if you feel like your gapping is off and it also makes sense to add or remove bounce, having someone bend a wedge will take proportionally more or less bounce off. For example, bending your 58 to a 57 would also turn your 10 degrees of bounce into 9. Just another option.

My problem with Landry was not running the bus over Woodward. My problem was it was clearly political theater because Woodward IMO was a lame duck AD. You pay a coach that money that Kelly got in a long term contract in the most important sport at a school and the guy fails at the job. You are D.E.A.D. in keeping your own job.
Not to mention, Landry couldn't have been more wrong in what he was spouting... Taxpayers have never been on the hook for an LSU coach's salary, and there is no world in which the incentive-based contract he was pining for was going to get a coach worthy of the LSU job to campus, especially Kiffin.
Giving Landry roses after this is hilarious.
