I dust a bit. I am also writing a lengthy indictment against our current century. When my brain reels from my literary labors, I make the occasional cheese dip.
@Emotion78687 If you told me that Dolores was the most beautiful woman to have walked the Earth, I wouldn’t fight it…she is oh so hauntingly beautiful.
I grew up watching the fight game from the late 70s…my fav fighter of all time is Salvador Sanchez.
I love Hagler, Hearns and Roberto…but I would NEVER shortchange Terence Crawford.
And to be honest, I feel like GGG would be fine with all of them. He won those fights against Canelo…absolutely joke that the judges were so paid off.
It’s a bit sad to realize that McHale is prob viewed by this generation as just another unathletic White dude who was able to score a few points in an era when there were few good athletes…and def is overrated.
Those of us who have watched basketball during that time and since know the reality: That Boston team full of White guys and Robert Parrish was a wrecking crew…and as scary as Bird was from all parts of the floor, if McHale had your guy one-on-one in the paint, it was going to be a dizzying display of shifts and fakes, and a guaranteed bucket.
Nobody then, now and in the future stops McHale…you can only hope to contain.
@holliemaea How much elevation would you be able to get in a steep jungle hill in a minute?
Those Nepal videos show people who were trapped and doomed…none of them had any hope.
In a world where a watch like my Garmin can keep track of my vitals, my energy levels, my sleep quality, my schedules, my music, etc while giving me the ability to send emergency signals from anywhere on Earth…why would I ever touch my Omega Seamaster?
A fine watch will tell me the time of day with 99.9% accuracy…the one advantage is that I would be able to reset the watch without needing an energy source. So, if I’m on a deserted island I would be able to always tell what time it is.
But if trapped on a deserted island, I wouldn’t care what time it is…
So, in the US, the Blacks and East Asians have the same IQ but the Blacks have the physical advantages of being taller, stronger and faster.
Yet, East Asians heavily outperform Blacks in every socioeconomic measure including education, income and labor market status.
The East Asians must be cheating in life,,.
@SacAppraiser Actually, the value went up because Gavin discovered that the house has an entire winery on the property that he apparently didn’t know about…some guys have all the luck, I tell ya.
“Humans also kill themselves and each other on the roads every day using vision alone.”
Top reasons for human related traffic accidents:
1) Recognition Errors (41% of crashes): Driver inattention, daydreaming, or zoning out.Internal distractions (using cell phones, eating, adjusting audio) and external distractions.Inadequate surveillance or failing to check blind spots.
2) Decision Errors (33% of crashes): Driving too fast for road conditions or exceeding the speed limit.Misjudging gaps in traffic or miscalculating another driver's speed.Making illegal maneuvers or false assumptions about what other drivers will do.
3) Impaired Driving (approx. 30% of fatalities): Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or certain prescription medications that slow reflexes and cloud judgment.
4) Performance Errors (11% of crashes): Overcompensating the steering wheel or losing directional control of the vehicle.
5) Non-Performance Errors (7% of crashes): Driver fatigue, drowsiness, or falling asleep behind the wheel.

Which of these mistakes will a high powered AI computer also make…LOL.
“NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected hydrated minerals on the surface of asteroid 16 Psyche. The asteroid is one of the most intriguing and potentially valuable astronomers know of, and the space agency last year sent a spacecraft to explore it. It has been said that the metals comprising 16 Psyche could be worth about $10,000 quadrillion. According to Visual Capitalist, the global economy was worth about $105 trillion by the end of 2023, though neither NASA nor any other space agency is currently exploring how to mine 16 Psyche.” - Forbes
If only someone had a big rocket ship to mine it…
