@al_supercoach No way in hell

Last month: Management was pushing us to hit 100% AI adoption, so half the team was basically having casual chats with Claude just to boost AI usage metrics for performance reviews.

This month: Mandatory sessions on Copilot token optimization and reducing AI consumption.

My org moved from "use more AI" to "please stop using so much AI" in about two weeks. 😂

Let’s be honest, the Stars-Renegades merger really is ridiculous. For 15 years they were constantly billed as arch rivals by the promoters, and then one day the powers that be are just like, “Meh, let’s merge ‘em”. How can Victorian BBL fans possibly be expected to be invested in the next incarnation of T20 teams in their state? They’ve been taken for an absolute ride

This is so horrible

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.

The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.

After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.

Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.

The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.

Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.

Clubs have been informed that there will be a Neale Daniher ceremony before all seven games in Round 12.
A pre-game address and a moments silence will take place while the teams line up. @1116sen

Counterpoint: the financialisaton of everyday life isn't a success story. It shifted responsibility for economic security from the state & employers onto ordinary workers, to transform themselves into risk-bearing investors

Your "success story" resulted in a housing crisis

[Wayne Ellery @WayneEllery]

@its_me_mel_xx The coach is ultimately responsible/accountable for the performance of the team because he’s at the top. We have good players. It’s the job of the coach to get the best out of those players and that wasn’t happening.

[Wayne Ellery @WayneEllery]

@its_me_mel_xx The sackings every 4 years is the result of underperforming coaches rather than the cause. It’s not the only thing to blame but coaches job is to win games and the coaches didn’t do that

[Wayne Ellery @WayneEllery]

@its_me_mel_xx That’s only because they were good coaches and performed in their job, not because they persevered with coaches that weren’t performing. Ie you keep a coach that’s doing a good job. The best performing coaches keep their jobs

People will say Neale Daniher 'lost his battle' with MND, but I would argue he well and truly won the fight against The Beast.
Vale Neale

[Jasper Chellappah @Jasperc53]

The average time living with MND is 2-3 years. Neale Daniher was diagnosed in 2013.

For those 14 years he chose to fight for others while staring down his own mortality. Neale was the best of us, and we are better for having him 💙

[Wayne Ellery @WayneEllery]

Very sad that Neil Daniher has passed away. RIP Neil

I remember when Dave Hughes was on the dole, honing his craft on our dime, calling into the Triple R breakie show.

You know, back when he wasn’t such a selfish wanker.

This exactly what AI does, it takes great human masterpieces and turns it into bland worthless shit.
