re: What a sorry field for the Supers
Posted by Colonel Angus on 6/2/26 at 9:55 am to VeryReauxna_ish
I think this has been a great regionals and the Supers look exciting to me. Yeah, we had a bad year, but as a baseball fan in general, it's been great. Tons of exciting games.

Its now the same level and demographic of employee manning the Popeyes drive thru. The others are correct..all of the older employees are retiring. The new ones found govt teat to get out of the fast food/C Store industry

re: Which jobs are at risk due to AI?
Posted by Colonel Angus on 5/24/26 at 10:14 pm to SippyCup
I work in upper mgt corporate accounting (manufacturer). We have already implemented AI to run several large datasets and analytics. Nobody is being laid off. We just now can spend more time reviewing and analyzing to make better, quicker decisions on pricing, rebates, freight costs, logistics, and standard cost models. Now we aren't hiring anyone new right now...but I'm busier than I've ever been as are the people downstream of me. Also...AI fcks up daily. We laugh at it regularly.

Call them in afternoon around 3PM. Much quicker than the que before lunch. And also the cust serv rep/agent that answers is way more helpful and in a better mood by then.

As far as walking (not jogging), it is usually a certain demographic I've noticed doing this.

I went to a small venue in '87 or '88 and paid $30 to watch him destroy Michael Spinks on CCTV on a huge screen. He hit Spinks so hard with a body shot hook that Spinks' feet were lifted off the canvas. 91 second KO. You could see the fear in Spinks eyes after he took the first jab to his head.

Most "decent" suits will look ok provided you have them tailored well after you buy it. I have 2 from Jos A Banks I got on clearance and they don't look any different than a $1,000 suit.

Most of Oregon east of the Columbia River is very conservative and baw. Its just that the media focuses on Portland and the left leaning Pacific coast

I will never forget walking out of the stadium that glorious night in early November 2022 after we beat Saban and Bama feeling like we were one year away from another national title. I really believed we had hired the right person.
Next week we squeak by a bad Arkansas team playing with a backup freshman QB due to KJ Jefferson's injury. I attributed it to the freezing arse temps and a road SEC game the weekend after beating Bama. Then two weeks later, we get handled by a terrible Aggie team in a game that was worse than the score. That's when I knew it was a worse version of Les Miles.

I would not at all be surprised to see the Fed raise rates .25 at their next meeting. Regardless, there will be no cuts in 2026 and probably not even the first half of 2027.

re: McEnroe: We are forcing Americans out of college tennis
Posted by Colonel Angus on 5/4/26 at 12:26 pm to prplhze2000
The problem with American tennis started in the late 80s and exponentially got worse in the 90s and early 2000s. The WSJ or Time had an interesting piece on this about 10 years ago. Once soccer rose in popularity in the U.S. among kids, it took young players away from tennis. In other words, per the article, the kids who would have been taking tennis lessons and been playing tournaments, were now on the soccer fields. I will try to find it, but it was a good, interesting read. Basically, soccer fckd U.S. tennis.
