If I remember right, didn’t JDM break his forearm early in the burns fight? Also burns’ bjj vs belal is pretty big difference, I’d think that play a factor in how you handle takedowns and getting back up. Belal is big on pace though so how does that pan for JDM over 5? Could be wrong, but I don’t see this as an easy fight for belal. JDM is good with body shot combos, he’s not just a headhunter

It has been doing this from the beginning, even fabricating research and attributing it to real people


I was actually coming to post this. ChatGPT can be resourceful but I would be very careful utilizing it for specific reliable information. I noticed this recently as I asked for certain evidenced-based practices on a topic. It provided information that seemed really good on its surface. When I began to check the sources, I couldn't find them. When I asked it for the doi numbers, it said that provided fake sources. It then provided me with "real" sources. When checked, they too were fake. This proceeded for several attempts and I eventually gave up on it. This is the second time it has done it to me. My advice is if you use it, at least try to verify it afterwards.

My main concern was how many medical providers have relied on it to give them up-to-date info, and took it at face value?

re: Best April Fool's Pranks?

Two of my kids (8 and 6) brought one to me this morning that I thought was pretty good. It was a perfect storm. I couldn't sleep after waking up at 2am, so I stayed up until 5 and dozed back off. They woke me up from a dead sleep at 7am saying our youngest one peed the bed. I was quietly enraged and just told them to leave. They could tell I was mad so they told me April Fools and gave me a hug. I was surprised at their ability to come up with it on the fly and actually proud to be their dad :lol:

According to him, it’s a lot of work, meaning several problems due each week. Basic math stuff. Just seeing if anyone has had her bc online I saw a few say her practice tests vs actual tests were identical. Before I give my buddy this advice, bc I’ve had professors in those early classes do (just pull from a test bank) bc they lacked any creativity, seeing if anyone could confirm this is the case?

:lol: the OT is awesome. These responses won’t help his ego, but I’ll send it to him nevertheless.

To his credit, he’s been out of school for 10+ years

LSU online course question

Posted by Question on 1/28/25 at 9:42 pm
I have a buddy that’s going back to school. He had a question about the following class:

Lindsay Waddell
Math 1021
LSU online

The reviews on rate my professor are all over the place from terrible to awesome teacher. Anyone have experience? What to expect for tests? Some reviews said identical to practice tests. He said it’s a lot of work and is unsure what to expect. Figured asking was worth a shot since many lsu grads on here. TIA :cheers:
Need to travel back to LC from Covington today. I can be flexible on when I leave. Better to leave this morning or wait til later?
Not sure if it’s been discussed but to everyone who uses it for maybe school or research purposes, be careful. I have to write the occasional research article. Over the years, I’ll use ChatGPT to do a brief literature review to find relevant articles for support. The results it yields are usually well summarized and helpful; however, after digging into the cited sources more, some can’t be found. The information seems logical; however, you can eventually determine by the search engines on admission that it made up the source material. Just a heads up, to not put all your trust in this thing. It can be helpful but it’s not as “smart” as you think.

Travel after thanksgiving

Traveling from Covington back to Lake Charles. Is today (Friday) or tomorrow a better day to do it to avoid traffic? Traveling over here was chaotic
There’s not one image of any nutcracker. What am I missing? :lol:

Honest question: are we sure this is still the case? It’s possible that he’s just going to hang out with other scumbags with no respect for life. This is despicable :angry:

I have no shame in saying that I have central and eastern time zones locked in, everything else is just an educated guess :lol:

re: UFC 308: Topuria vs Holloway

Posted by Question on 10/23/24 at 11:21 am
Topuria is good and I like to watch him fight. The only area we haven't seen him tested in is the deep waters of late round fights, which max is incredible at. Max is a dog and his fights are always great. He's always prepared. I can foresee this being a banger. It's a hard one to pick. I don't see Max getting KO'd though. It'll either be a decision either way or Max by stoppage imo.

As for Whittaker, I can't see Khamzat winning unless it's in the first round. We've seen in his most recent fights where he begins to fade. Knuckles is so good. If it doesn't happen early, I could see this as a 4-1 for Whittaker.

I'm glad it's an early card. The cards lately have been going to nearly 1am

:lol:

and we reward them for this

Not saying I agree/disagree with you, but how so do you think we reward bad parenting? The problem seems that the American dream is recently promoted as it being all about yourself, instead of something bigger than yourself. Growing up, my grandfather was so invested in raising up his children and grandchildren, not just so we would have a better life, but that we would know how to thrive in life and keep it going. Today, that seems like a foreign concept.

But now the new thing is, therapy.


While I agree, I don't know if this is necessarily a bad thing. What the need for therapy is showing is our lack of communication with each other. Many people live in a fantasy world through social media so they're afraid to open up about problems or cope properly due to fear of what others might say. So to save face, they are speaking to strangers in private. I don't think that's the best solution however. I believe you need accountability from those around you. The uptick in therapy could, in the end, be a good step in the right direction. I'd rather that than doped up on medications. But the ideal scenario seems far off due to the current climate we're in.
