The academy upgrades are important. English language classes and nutrition programs help 16-year-olds transition from their home countries.

Indie games proving that you do not need $200 million budgets to make excellent games is the most important trend in the industry. The AAA model is bloated and unsustainable. Indie is the future.

The Gold Glove defense is what pushes this from good signing to great signing. You are getting 25 home runs, 90+ RBI, AND elite defense at second base. Where is the flaw?

For people on a tighter budget, swap the 4060 Ti for a regular 4060 ($270) and drop to a B650M-A motherboard ($100). Gets you under $850 with 90% of the performance at 1080p.

FIP of 4.41 on the primary setup man while the ERA is 3.92 means regression is coming. He is getting lucky with balls in play.

Hard Fork is my daily driver. Kevin Roose asking "should I be worried about this" to every AI development is exactly the energy regular people need from tech journalism.

need to show my roommate this

im dead 💀

The Blade Runner screening on 35mm last year was transcendent. The film grain on that movie adds a texture that digital cannot replicate. If they are doing it again, do not miss it.

The 37.2% pressure rate is insane. Dak could be Patrick Mahomes and still struggle behind that line. You cannot evaluate a quarterback when he is running for his life every other snap.

Texas Live is great for the convenience factor. Park once, watch the early game at Texas Live, walk to Globe Life for the main event. Perfect double-header day.

Tampa Bay and Cleveland producing elite pitching on small budgets while the Rangers spent $500M on free agent arms is the cautionary tale. Development is cheaper and more sustainable.

The confidential data point is crucial. I know people who paste entire client contracts into ChatGPT. That is a fireable offense and potentially a legal liability. If you are going to use AI at work, keep sensitive data out of it.

Pudge Rodriguez at catcher is automatic. Best defensive catcher in MLB history with a bat to match. His arm behind the plate was a weapon. Runners simply did not attempt to steal.

underrated post

Modano does not get enough credit for his 1999 playoff performance. 23 points in 23 games while being the primary defensive assignment for every opposing team. He was the engine.

DART for Stars games is the way. I park at Mockingbird Station for free, ride to Victory Station in 10 minutes, and never deal with traffic or parking. The total cost is $5 round trip vs. $25 for a garage.

The goal was good. Hull had possession before entering the crease. The rule was poorly written and the NHL made the correct interpretation. Buffalo fans need to let it go after 27 years.

Hiding Luka as a help defender instead of an on-ball defender is smart. It minimizes his weakness while still allowing him to make plays on the defensive end (deflections, charges, help blocks).

Kyrie\'s catch-and-shoot at 44.2% is ridiculous. He is basically a cheat code when Luka draws the double and kicks it out. That efficiency is historically good.
