I grow things.

Maybe.

First of all, a properly sauced Scottish fan might try to take a soccer branded trash can home on public transportation but they wouldn't look like a low-rent version of the Hamburgler doing it like we see here in NYC.

Secondly, if this happened in Scotland then it would likely be a someone that was a Celtic FC or a Rangers FC supporter (or whatever). While I have no dog in that fight, I respect the I have faith that either of the opposing side wouldn't allow this type of disrespect. Where were the Nets fans here?

Third, I think you're just saying this because you're British or Irish.

Considering that Elon Musk has named his autonomous drone ships after Iain M. Banks "The Culture" series and that Musk has acknowledged that Neuralink was inspired by Banks's concept of a "neural lace" then Banks might be one to read. Banks has obviously influenced Musk. If you want to read Banks, I'd suggest :

1. The Player of Games
2. Excession
3. Look to Windward
4. Use of Weapons

Unpopular opinion but the "best" or "top" professors are rarely the highest rated by students. Professors should challenge and push students and that doesn't always lead to higher ratings from lessor students.

Professors are being incentivized to be "liked" by students more than pushing students to see how much they can accomplish is a factor in our entire educational system in the US being watered-down.

That's right, there are no natural lakes in Alabama; they're all dammed up rivers. Lake Martin was created in the 1920s and Alabama Power bought up much of the land around where the lake was created. For decades, AL Power held onto much of the land. Same as another person, Benjamin Russell who created Russell Lands. Many of the lake houses were built on water-front property the home owners thought they'd lease indefinitely.

@Grok, tell everyone how Mr. Beast has made those tiny improvements in thumbnails, hooks, and retention and everything else that multiply into 4x the views instead of 10% so we can all be millionaire content creators watching each others videos instead of working the jobs we have now.

@elonmusk @Sajwani @SenWarren Wealth used to be largely measured in how many calories a person or family consumed in a day.

It would be nice to know there is a future where there is a different metric for wealth other than currency / dollars / etc...

@SkylarSkye3 Most Europeans don't grasp that the distance from Los Angeles to New York is like going from Lisbon to Moscow.

Bear road trip I bet took was with my kids from Alabama to Los Angeles (flew back). We took over 3 weeks with the cities / places we visited.

@awstar11 It's a good account but is it real? Are we being manipulated?

@FreddyLA7 Beware the LSU fan. While Auburn is beautiful like Heidelberg, it's more the Freiburg as a football culture. LSU is like Schalke or Gelsenkirchen where the fans smell like corn dogs.

@gofishh77 @A_RottieLover European bread is much, much better than overly processed bread we eat in north America.

With Shane Gillis being the intelligent history buff that he is ... I'm surprised he didn't pull in the quote from the long-term leader of Singapore, Lee Kwon Yew, warning Australia about being the "poor white trash" of Asia.

I loved visiting Singapore and Australia is great but that's great comedy fodder there because it was true.

If you're driving close to the gulf then you really need to find a place that has some decent oysters / crawfish. Louisiana is in a world of its own for food like this. Being at the gulf and not having something like crawfish / oysters would be like going around Germany for a couple of weeks and not having frikadellen or spending time in the Netherlands and not having bitterballen.

Hope y'all had a wonderful time in Alabama.

@WaldronLewis @grok, where can I find this full interview?

@dirtcheapbanks Sorry for the typo. What are the argument for consolidation? What would that help? Honest question.

@CasualThursday The best and brightest minds in the are world working on things like AI and internet from space when they could be working on important things like us only having rain from 1AM to 4AM every other Saturday morning and eliminating no-see-ums.

@fOx1257067 @Grok, where is this interview from?

@girdley Boomers and GenX (I'm the latter) are selfishly protecting the equity they have in their real estate by limiting supply by impeding future growth. It's should be an easy fix but boomers and GenX are a larger voting bloc. It's an existential crisis for millennials.

@RCEY28 @gotrice2024 I recognized the north Alabama accent immediately.
