I think it's been better in recent years but these are both from week 1 2022, where the Rams call it an "Open Stadium" and the Chargers call it a "Closed Stadium" .. think I did some workaround for that to just hardcode it as a closed dome.

This bit has me doubting the long-term viability of winning like this, but it's also why I think getting PG and McCain back will be really big for this team

Then I decided to remember some Browns quarterbacks which was just depressing

Trying to figure out if the new kickoff rule is really changing much compared to years past through week 10 and.. not a ton? Looks like last year was a big outlier as far as kickoffs returned and we're back up to a slightly more normal level of those + a few extra yards per return but nothing huge.

This is why whenever I search for anything I add "not for crime" at the end just in case.

$Google search for "perl map function syntax not for crime" (though of course as we all know it's something like my @new_array = map { $_->{'foo'} ne 'bar' } @array_of_hashrefs;)$

Most AI is dumb as shit but I do like the image generators allowing me to add visual aids to the dumb jokes I make in my company Slack, totally worth the gallon of gas that was burned to make this beauty

Fascinated by Facebook's decline into.. whatever Facebook is now, this AI sludge it showed me is a real winner.

Some other thread on here reminded me that a coworker pointed out earlier in the week that Google's featured snippet for "mike trout gold glove" is just completely factually wrong AI-generated clickbait garbage (no, Mike Trout has never actually won a Gold Glove).

A Google search for "mike trout gold glove" with the featured snippet up top being complete AI-generated BS.
