the stupidity of college football is a non-negligible part of it’s charm

100% and I feel like the bowl system was a much better reflection of this than any playoff will ever be. The ridiculousness of 2+ schools claiming the same titles on a regular basis, and everyone else mostly agreeing both claims are valid but still bickering over which is more valid, was a big part of the sport’s charm.

Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.

It’s just weird to me that they fire him now and not… Any time last year.

Are we just going to get a “new” article on this every week now?

No, ghostwriting is not plagiarism. Done correctly, there is nothing wrong with it. Hard to argue this professor did it correctly

That’s my assumption as well. New and renovated stadiums/arenas/etc. Are almost always funded by local taxes, despite the teams/promoters/etc. Who reap all the benefits being rich enough to build their own facilities. They hold communities for ransom and promise trickle-down economic benefits that never materialize.

Lincoln specifically botched this with the new arena a few years back. They raised the property value around it so much that businesses couldn’t afford the rent. At least while I was there, the area was usually half-empty buildings. And the extra sales tax to pay for it hadn’t gone away several years after it supposedly would.

Sucks for tax-paying citizens, just like any project like this. As a husker fan, I’m excited. Memorial stadium is iconic, but is not pleasant to be in or to watch games in. The bathrooms are responsible for many Nebraskan children’s nightmares.

Spoken like someone who’s never met an engineer

Comparing high-energy events, especially ones that cause destruction, to weapons that have been used is very common, not just in “murica”

The lack of specificity as to what kind of atomic bomb is silly, though.

This is a good idea for obvious reasons. Cal students and alumni will hate it for obvious reasons.

All of a sudden, Notre Dame wants to be in the Pac 3

Or even just one per day. One Thursday, one Sunday, one Monday.

Not true on either count. We just don’t have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.

I’m a noob, but often what drives up lens cost is the complexity associated with making the image better over the whole field of view. Lenses have various inherent errors (called aberrations) that are corrected by a combination of complex surface profiles on individual lens elements and stacking multiple individual lens elements to cancel each other’s errors out. A scope likely only needs good correction near the center, where the user will be looking most of the time, while a camera lens needs good correction everywhere so the whole photo looks good when you view it later. Wider field of view makes good correction much more complicated and expensive very fast.

I have yet to see one of these comments with chatGPT summaries of articles that actually adds any value. Usually they are wrong or misleading. Sometimes they are just as long if not longer than the original article. This one, for example, summarizes the article that OP basically already summarized in the post description.

ChatGPT has its uses. This ain’t one of them.

WE BEAT THE CHIEFS! SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME! OH WHEN THE SAAAINTS OH WHEN THE SAAAINTS…

Largest to smallest is way more logical than smallest to largest. You start general and get more specific as you progress. It is in general a better approach to conveying information and cataloging data. Not just dates.

What about search engines? DDG and bing suck ass, google is the only of the three that returns results that actually remotely match what I type in.

It’s not about protecting anything, it’s about acquiring and selling as much of your personal data as they can.
