LSU Delirium

My son and I were at some restaurant/bar in North Georgia and they had Atmosphere “Nostalgia TV” on.

It was hilarious trying to explain to my 10 year what we were watching, think I could’ve watched it all day:

Agreed. We got to log in for our window today. Here is an idea on options.

You could buy a “Team Group” package. You pick the team, but you don’t know where (or who!!) they are playing, and you have to buy all 3 games.

Category 1 was over $1000 per ticket for Portugal. Over $900 for England. $270 (category 3) - $750 (category 1) for Ecuador. Argentina is already sold out.

For single game tickets:
All final tickets are gone. All semis gone. Quarters gone.

I couldn’t find a single category 4 or category 3 ticket for the “single game” option in any venue for any match.

Category 2 ~$330-370 for group stage, Category 1 ~$450 for group stage. This could work out depending on the draw, or you could see two teams you care zero about.

I really hope the resellers lose their arse and the stadiums are empty.

FIFA once again showing how awful they are.

As long as 1 seat is $60, I guess that statement is true!

Nothing here yet. I logged in and it said you will get an email whether you are selected or not.

~4.5 million entries. Fingers crossed!

They don’t make money by denying people to take the test. You would be shocked what they take as “experience”, submit what you have and see if they accept. No harm in trying.

Requiem for a Dream, and to a lesser extent, Trainspotting.

DARE has nothing on those two.

Everything is going “as a service” direction and is really just a form of financing/leasing something that you’ll never own.

I really find it interesting that so much of the green agenda is “reduce, reuse”, but any appliance, car, etc. is completely ignored.

Instead of repairing, we just toss these massive, expensive machines in the land fill and the industrial machine just keeps chugging along.

Which are hardest for fans of "little brother" to stomach?

If this the criteria, how can it be any except Texas? I didn’t believe it until I lived in Houston, but Texas fans are insufferable (and Aggies beyond delusional), no one can “stomach” them. Everyone is being exposed to it now on these boards.

Any other criteria I think makes Texas/A&M the winner too. Auburn has had NC’s and more competitive teams in various sports, MSU won basketball championships not that long ago. OU/OSU is so lop sided I just don’t think it’s the same as some of the others on the list.

Aggies got their coach sniped the day after their most successful season in a long time (this cemented the big bro/little bro relationship imho). The melt when Texas joined the sec. There just isn’t one that compares .

DP.

The giant conglomerates are the ones that can afford AI at a scale to lay off people. Smaller companies are still going to need people, hell I worked for a “big small” company that was afraid to use cloud hosting.

The AI my giant company makes us use, MS Co-Pilot, isn’t impressive IMHO. It struggles with anything beyond an easy search engine or bouncing ideas off, the “deliverables” it creates are absolute trash.

As I’ve worked through my career, it’s shocking how lazy and inefficient people are in general. The older generation can’t use basic collaborative tools, let alone something like AI. A lot of people just seem to do the bare minimum and hope no one notices how little they do. These are the people that AI will replace, but it will be AI+a person that can just be more efficient.

There’s no easy way to predict what jobs may be impacted, but helping my/your kids learning “transferable” skills is going to be more important than ever I think. Things like being able to speak properly, write properly, convey ideas, empathy, the ability to influence/lead, emotional intelligence, interacting/presenting with/to people, being organized, work ethic, being able to adapt/embrace to new tools/tech (like AI), etc.

Or as others have said, start with a job that requires use of your hands, learn the basics of running a business, and make your own thing.


All is easier said than done, but that’s true of most things in life.
