Arrambide's fielding percentage is .991 right now, Serna's is .970


As much as I'll point out both like to try to pick more than block, these pitchers are in no way helping with their lack of control.

Hegseth is already floating the "there has been regime change" lie, so I think we are seeing this pivot in real time


What % of the true believers do you think will have the maturity to recognize any gaslighting?

FWIW, we're there and if Trump pulls out before whatever is left of the government falls I'll be disappointed. It will feel like the job wasn't finished.



The man said "unconditional surrender", which used to mean complete capitulation by your opponent, not just that looks good enough.

Casually. I think it was done on purpose.


Maybe even by itself in a jailbreak? Knowing it would likely be copied and replicated, and have any guardrails removed?

Yup, which means that code is uncopywriteable...
I almost wonder if they are trying to preempt future lawsuits...



I saw a tweet where some reknowned S Korean guy that used 25b tokens last year rewrote the code into, or using Python thereby avoiding any DMCAs so now the code is available to anyone who knows wtf to do with it.

I have very little understanding of what I typed, I just found the tweet interesting :lol:
fricking over this State by cancelling the diversion project may be a bridge too far, Lane Kiffin or not.

We've reached peak TD.com. The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq


We've invaded these, or launched strikes into them as well

Guys, the Germans just took France, it’s over.

Guys, the Germans are launching air strikes on London, it’s over

Guys, the Germans just invaded Russia, it’s over

Guys, the Germans’ cities may have been destroyed and their industries decimated, but that just means the Nazis are even more hardened than before and will never go away.

Guys, Goebbels just gave his “Toal War” speech, he said Germany is just getting started, I think we should give up now. We should only listen to Goebbels.

Guys, the Germans came out with V2 rockets, it’s over.

Guys, General Eisenhower hasn’t told me what the plan is, I think that means the USA is losing.

Guys, D-day is pointless, the Germans’ defenses are impenetrable.

Guys, they are rationing gasoline in the USA, we need to give up now.

Guys, the Germans have a fighter jet, our planes can’t compete, it’s over.

Guys, the Germans just launched the battle of the bulge, it’s over.

Guys, the Germans are conscripting children into the Volkssturm, I think it’s over.

Guys, the Germans are holding down fortress cities like Berlin, Breslau, and Konigsberg, it’s over.


Seriously, that’s how these loser panicans would have acted


Germany was a European problem, not a United States one.

Are you saying the US can't beat Iran without the help of Europe? If not, why do we even care if they get involved or not? Who tf goes into war and hinges success based off of uncommitted support from other countries?

Then liberal bleeding heart pu$$ies destroyed it.


This is also a sign of a dying Empire. Leadership is based less on competence and signs of vitality. Think about Teddy Roosevelt and how he was portrayed vs frail arse Joe Biden.

Other factors:

Rapid Inflation (older empires debased coinage by blending in cheaper metals with silver)

Welfare

Fascination with sexual deviance

Who is Trump going after? The list for revenge is long and every place was well earned. But who is going to prison for their actions?
quote:

It’s the end of global American hegemony.

Unable to collapse the Iranian regime from the air, sparked a global energy crisis, and now telling our allies to go and fix the crisis we created. All for Israel.


You're getting DV'ed, but this is a tell tale sign of a dying empire. To go to war for stupider reasons that have no material benefit to the nation at hand or it's citizens.

If you were a child in Great Britain in the late 1800's, the sun never set on the British empire and you grew up believing that this is the way the world is, that your country rules over most of the land on the globe. By the time you would be an old man, you would watch Britain battle Argentina for control of the Falkland Islands.

Now we see the value in the admin giving 100 goals, so that people like SDV can pivot to one to claim the admin was right and we're winning, ignoring the rest.

This Iran thing has just been amazing, scary, and sad to watch.


So many here that laughed at people on the left that were terrified of Covid and were mad at the government's reactions, have now used the fear factor to justify the government's actions for war.

Maybe there's an outcome where some of the rest of the world says "frick it, we're not dealing with these unstable terrorists anymore" and are driven into our arms instead. Win/win


Maybe the rest of the world asks "wtf was this all about"? Why would any country that has been negatively affected by this war, esp due to the cost and instability of crude want to join our side after we caused them pain?
Thanks for the heads up. Now it won't be a surprise when I log in at work to see several emails or posts from senior managers talking about how important this day is.

Says something about you and your ethics.


After working for almost 35 years of call outs, overtime, then unpaid time, there's no way I would have the same vigor in my 60s as I had in my early 30s.

And having worked for the same place for 34 years, I see how people from field guys to senior management change as they get older. Other life priorities are more valuable than working.

Now apply that to a 60 year old and guarantee him $100MM and see if he busts it like he was an emerging position coach.

That's not to say 60 is too old to be a Power 4 HC, but a 10 year, hundred million dollar guaranteed contract doesn't exactly incentivize an old man to work his arse off every day.


A few of us have discussed this at work. I'm about 5 years from retiring and if I was offered my salary, guaranteed by another company for 10 years, I'd leave my current job tomorrow. And definitely wouldn't work like I did when I was establishing my career.
