Minnesota is worse than California


Recently moved from MN to CA and can confirm. At least the weather is better here and no Somalis

If Ant Man took fewer long jumpers and attacked more he could be the best player in the NBA.


He led the league in made 3 pointers this season
I’m more surprised he is academically eligible
Hopefully there’s someone worth it. Maybe we get a stud at another key position and draft a qb with our top 5 pick in 2027
Love that movie but haven’t seen it in years. Is it streaming anywhere (did you come across it recently or just thought of it)?

Fun fact, pretty sure I saw this in theaters with a buddy and his mom the day of the OJ white bronco chase

Yeah, if Carr is healthy he starts. Otherwise Rattler

Reminds me of Aaron Brooks. Did Shough laugh on the sidelines afterwards?
I’ll pay him a compliment, he’s top 3 since 2000

I have this one from EliteFTS because I try and always buy American made when possible

Also, the article very clearly puts quotes around "teleported" because that's actually not what this is at all. It simply sent information using light. Which is pretty cool in itself and could have many applications...but in no way is it legit teleporting one thing to a different place in space/time.


It’s unfortunate that quantum teleportation means the transfer of quantum information across distances while in pop culture teleportation invokes images from Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, etc. It doesn’t help that the click-bait headlines use images of transporters.

This particular result is interesting because quantum information cannot be duplicated (no-cloning theorem for those who want to read more) and these researchers found a way to transmit data across a distance while performing an error-corrected experiment (the logical qubits mentioned in the paper). It is a tiny step on the 1000 mile journey to one day having quantum computers that provide value (somewhat analogous to the Google Willow announcement last December).

It’s different from Bluetooth because it’s using quantum information while Bluetooth is transmitting classical information packets. You cannot use Bluetooth or WiFi (at least today) to transfer a quantum state between qubits.

So you want them to leave out 11-1 teams from P4 conferences so that teams who went 9-3 can get in? Maybe Bama and Ole Miss shouldn’t have lost multiple games to teams in the bottom half of the conference if they think they belonged in the playoff


I don’t want the 3rd place team from any conference.
The power structure of the FBS conferences heavily favors the SEC and Big10 who are unlikely to signup for a "fair" playoff system that rewards all conferences equally.
