Normally MIL cooks Thanksgiving since mom passed away. Today I tried my own meal while MIL hovered. I had Not enough potatoes then Too many potatoes (number of potatoes did not change). My Carrots weren't cut right. I Salted the veggie water for boiling....she doesn't do that. We did not fight 😀

Baseball has such an abundance of ex-players who are too dumb to realize they were using analytics their entire careers and if they weren’t it was why they sucked

At some point, baseball has to get back to valuing ballplayers and not just numbers on a screen. Give me the Freddie Freemans, the Buster Poseys, Hunter Pences, Pablo Sandovals, Michael Youngs, lan Kinslers of the world. Guys who just flat out know how to play the game. Everyone wants to talk launch angle and exit velo, but what happened to valuing a quality at bat?" The 9-pitch battle that might end in an out, but forces a pitcher to show everything he's got.
The guy who hits behind the runner, takes what's given, or just refuses to give a pitcher an easy inning. Those at-bats might not look sexy in the box score, but they show up in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Some of these dudes could absolutely leave the yard too. That's the point. They weren't one-dimensional.
Somewhere along the way, we confused measurable tools with knowing how to win baseball games.

Would Max Headroom be leading the rebellion against AI or would he be the leader of AI to take over the world? Makes you think

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Sneak peak of the Grand Bella was overwhelming. Every detail thought of. Beautiful space true to the history of the church. Some finishing touches still to come but this place is going to be the jewel of downtown. No hyperbole.

Thats what I am thinking. I should ask for a sample and see if its an AI burger

If i had a menu I agree it would look like trash. Maybe this is a sign to open my own pub.
