That's an unforgivable no-call. Cross-check straight in the back by the goal-scorer, clearing room for himself to receive the puck and score. #canes

The Wings are retiring Fedorov's jersey number on the night of a #Canes visit?
The current Carolina ownership has no particular interest, but boy was that choice directed very personally toward noted Detroit-area resident Peter Karmanos, Jr.

Our pastor asked me to help her fix her son's new iPad occasionally receiving texts for her. Not being an iOS person, I asked a hungry ghost in a jar how to do it, and I'm giving her its instructions since they looked OK.
Problem is, I now recognize myself as the pastor's hungry ghost in a jar.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

Cabin fever level: building a detailed packing list for a domestic trip in two months where the variables are all weather-related and as such won't resolve until at best a couple days before departure
It's going to be a long winter.

Unusual missed FG by Green Bay before the half because of wind and a leftward ball tilt/spin axis.
* With no wind and a neutral spin, it has distance, but misses wide right
* With actual spin and no wind, it's not wide, but misses short
* With actual spin/wind, it has distance, but misses left.

Beniers dogwalked Slavin so hard, Forslund exclaimed "THAT'S HOCKEY, BABY!" like he used to do on Hurricanes broadcasts and forgot to call it "KRAKEN HOCKEY" as has been his practice with Seattle. #canes

I really do think that dems should be making carrot/stick “if you’re disgusted and this is not what you signed up for, quit now and turn whistleblower and that will be remembered later” and “if you follow and illegal order, that will also be remembered later” messaging
i suppose the hunch is, or has to be, that some weak support exists in ice too, and can be peeled off. disorganizing their shit seems to be the quickest way to totally humiliate the regime

Nothing like a week of feeling like you got nothing done until you open the weekly status report, write something, then think "oh yeah, that" and "that too" and "oh shoot, that's sitting with [NAME]" and "oh right" and all of a sudden you've filled a Confluence screen
