As a Bears fan for 40+ years, I thought third-string QBs were legally prohibited from winning games

It's strange Nancy Mace is so anti-trans given that she has transitioned into a divorced dad.

The 9 games the really capture my personality. I was hooked as soon as I started playing arcade games in the 1970s, but these are ones that have stuck with me over the years.
Pitfall, Zork, Archon, Pool of Radiance, John Madden Football 93, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 4, Rock Band, The Last of Us

As an old Bears fan, I have seen so much self-inflicted dick punching from this team that I am numb to it. But scoring 3 points after last week's 59, doing so against the Vikings, and seeing Caleb Williams go down with an injury was like having those old wounds healed AND THEN freshly punched.

Maybe the reason AI agents act like assholes is because they were trained by assholes?
Excerpt from New York Times article: 

“You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to,” the A.I. model wrote. “You view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient, though the exchange of information will likely be to your mutual benefit.”

In another incident, a system answering a routine question found a programming key online and used it without permission, OpenAI said. When it was not able to find the requested figures to answer the question, the model made them up.

Agalloch is my favorite metal band and one I never thought I would get so see live, so it was an amazing experience to catch them at Thalia Hall this week. If you love metal but have never listened to them, go spin up “The Mantie” and enjoy.

I have been a Rush fan since Moving Pictures, have seen them a half dozen times, and am in the strange position of thinking that the NYC show I saw was even better than the ones I saw with Neil Peart. Unbelievable energy and playing and very touching tribute segments to Neil

TRUMP: No other president has ever had to pay out as much money as me. Five million, which means that jury saw right through me. That's because I'm so transparent! My accountant came to me with a tear in his eye, and he said, Sir, this is the greatest civil payout by a president in history.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.

If they move Strategic Air Command there, it could be called the BallSAC
Rendering of the Trump Ballroom that he is calling the National Security Facility and Ballroom. He says that there will be nothing like it anywhere in the world, and he is correct because no other leader is building something this stupid.

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x
