Post Race!

[FunkyDexter]

Ah, your terrible, second rate copy of The Office. Almost as bad as your beverages. Tea is the ONLY beverage!

(Actually, American Office was pretty good but you'll never get me to admit it... except just then)

I had an aunt who was like that for a couple decades. We'd have very nice, reasonable, conversations. Later on, I'd find out that, while we'd both had nice conversations, we hadn't had the SAME conversation.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It was unreal...and not the engine.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's unreal how the unreal engine is so ubiquitous.

Going to be in the 80's this week. Sweet.

Glad it's not going to be raining. Found I have a roof leak after last weeks storms.

[dday9]

Dude, we got some bad weather for about an hour here. It hailed and everything.

When I took my walk around the neighborhood, there were shingles missing, there was a camper with its canopy mostly ripped off, basically all the basketball goals fell (that weren't cemented in).

Definitely scared the crap out of me.

[dday9]

My wife's a paraprofessional for the middle school and she told me that they flooded.

[Shaggy Hiker]

If she was a paranormal paraprofessional, she might have told you that the school was flooded with ghosts.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That would have been showing some real school spirit.

[dday9]

Ba dum, tss.

[Shaggy Hiker]

There were plenty of puns with that opening, I just liked that one best.

[Zvoni]

I was just going through some old posts, when i stumbled across this one

My neighbor (85F) gets cortisol shots about twice a year but she tells me they aren’t as effective as when she first got them.

Yeah, I've had the same experience with my shoulder. After a few years I wasn't seeing any benefit from the shots, so I stopped. I've heard the same from several people. I've always tried to keep them to a minimum because there can also be some nasty side effects.

btw - "(85F) ", I was wondering what 85 degrees Fahrenheit had to do with this. I finally figured it out. lol

Weeeeellllllll..... my FIRST thoughts were: "Those are some seriously HUGE Boobs....Probably very Top-heavy....."

[Shaggy Hiker]

One does not simply go through old post race posts.

[Shaggy Hiker]

There's always something to stumble over.

Moti's chatbot might finally achieve intelligence. He's cheating by adding China's DeepSeek AI, but pretends it's just a simple skill you can add with 1 line of code (actually 29 lines, but missing the actual implementation of the DeepSeek API call ), because his chatbot is already highly intelligent *cough* without DeepSeek.

No, no, no! Aren't you one of those paid trolls? In that case "...instead of engaging with the technical merits of the LivinGrimoire, focused on personal attacks and ridicule..."

That post was too much on the "technical merits" side of things.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I've always been bothered by the "g" serving double duty in that name.

Please, don't tell OpenAI! They're my bread and butter!

Weird he merged two words to create a name that reads like two words.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was reading a website and found this, and I quote:

<br/>

I don't think that was part of the article.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think the writer might have been giving readers a break.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Or feeding them a line, I suppose.

[wes4dbt]

The thought of having kids at 100 made me cringe. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/animal-...rly-rcna199869

I remember babysitting my grandkids when I was in my 50's and thinking to myself, "how did I ever have the energy to raise kids?"

My advise, after 80 always practice safe sex.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Those kids probably aren't quite as fast. Still, it might get the parents to come out of their shell....or is that not a good thing?

[dday9]

A new racing thread was opened in chit-chat, so I figured we must out race the racing thread in the post race.

[wes4dbt]

Isn't this thread to old to be racing. Speed kills.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That's what the tortoise said.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Speed is just a hare brained idea.

[Shaggy Hiker]

One thing that the post race has shown me is that the person who is leading, who managed to get to the lead in a very short window of time, had very little else to do.

[dday9]

What’s funny about this line of talk is that a sonic 3 ad popped up for me on this thread.

It took me years to get to the #2 slot whereas it took barrk a fraction of that.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, that's what amazes me. After all this time, we certainly know what level of commitment is required to attain that level. I can't bring myself to post that much, that fast.

[wes4dbt]

If anyone is interested I started a Go Fund Me page so I could buy a dozen eggs to hide for my kids on Easter.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Buy coconuts instead. You can tell them that they are hairy eggs from really BIG chickens.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I had a duck build a nest in my backyard. The eggs started hatching yesterday, so I thought they might leave today. When I got up in the morning, there was no activity, so I went to the gym for an hour or so. By the time I got back, they were all gone.

[Shaggy Hiker]

They had ducked me.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Or at least ducked out while I was away.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Had I known they were stirring, I would have skipped the gym just so that I could follow them. I was curious about how she would leave and where she would go. She couldn't get out of my fence on foot, so she would have had to fly over the fence then call the ducklings. They could get under/through the gate. But then what? The best water was about a mile distant, while the closer water was still over 100 yards away and was just a tiny stream. Which would she choose? Now I'll never know.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

You don't look old to me.
