Angeles Crest is where all the supercars in L.A. go if they want to drive curvy roads. Big car spotting area on the weekends, like the Tail of the Dragon for Los Angeles. Search "Angeles crest tunnels" on Google maps and you can see exactly where this happened. There is a pull off area right outside the tunnel where people watch and listen to the cars coming out of the tunnel.
Interesting, thanks.
Why were those guys standing there waiting for him to come out of the tunnel?
Unless you are in first/business class, I really don't understand the need to sit in an airplane seat even longer.

Maybe QuickBooks on steroids with machine learning and predictive analytics tailored to my finances.
You don’t think Quickbooks has that?

This is not what AI was meant for but a byproduct.

I keep my families budget in an extremely detailed excel sheet. I'm talking about I know where every penny is going for the next 12 months.

I used AI and about 8 hours of my time and turned that into a full blown desktop application. I'm talking about database, API calls, front end, everything functional in 8 hours. I intend on turning into a mobile application and selling it.

That's what AI was meant for, doing the leg work for ideas.
Congratulations. You created Quickbooks.

I think that, through the enmeshment of academia and the technocracy in the 20th century, there aren’t really as many true theoretical philosophers. Those who would have been drawn to that in prior generations are more likely to be researching/making economic and social and tech policy.

Playoff Sit/Start: Pick 2 of these 4 RB

Posted by Gravitiger on 12/17/25 at 10:28 am
Kind of funny league rules:

0.5 points per reception
0.25 points per carry
1 point per 15 rush/rec/ret yards (with fractional points)

1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 W/R, K, D, 2 IDP

I have Jonathan Taylor locked in as RB, but need to choose among the following four for my two flex spots:

Javonte Williams (DAL) vs. LAC
Omarion Hampton (LAC) vs. DAL
Woody Marks (HOU) vs. LV
Aaron Jones (MIN) vs. NYG

Thoughts?

I think someone thought that was a clever/joking way to say kill in a more politically correct sounding way.

After that it caught on because it's kind of funny.
It’s because Reddit and other PC social media fora censor words like "kill" and "suicide."
Last day in the office is 12/23, but will be answering emails and prepping for next year through the holidays.

Yes, it's insane. But you were comparing budget to debt, which is not accurate.

The budget, yes. The national debt was still 4 trillion.

I read an article yesterday that 4 Non Blondes has reunited and is releasing a new album.

Also did not know that their lead singer wrote a bunch of famous pop songs for Pink and other artists over the years.
