And this is why people saying AI will give us universal high income are full of shit. Fuck right off with that, the businesses will replace the workers and then pay out massive bonuses to the executives. The only way universal income happens at the behest of AI is if we basically embrace socialism.

Well considering the conservatives want AI but hate socialism and then the democrats hate AI but want socialism that ain’t happening.

Greedy sneaky fucks and it’ll get worse if they can replace the workers.

As someone who has been in the middle of this since about 2012 and have seen the numbers, labor budgets started shrinking right after covid hit as cost rose. The price of goods, the cost of everything from maintenance, minimum wage hikes, electricity and other hidden costs have gutted labor budgets, the only thing that can be controlled. It's not just us, go to and google reviews of any grocery store. You'll see the same thing. People complaining about not enough cashiers and having to use self check out. It also affects customer service as someone forced to do the job of three people get a bit surly when having to deal with angry customers. It's not pretty. We open at six, the first real cashier arrives at 7. In the meantime customers are force to use an unsupervised self check out and they rob us blind. When a rush hits clerks from other departments who have been trained to be cashiers are called to help out leaving departments under staffed in the meantime. Makes me remember this line from this movie

Many of us agree that Arthur Smith did not have a strong resume. But Smith and Barrett were not the only two options, and even if they were, it doesn't seem all that clear cut to me. We have all seen (quite recently) that being a good (or great) position coach says nothing whatever about how good you're going to be as a coordinator, regardless who the coach you reported to was.

It was JT, Arthur Smith, and a soda can that was dropped and got all fizzed up waiting for somebody to open it and get soda sprayed all over them. I would rank them as:
1. JT
2. soda can
3. the thing in your eye that is just out of view and when you look at it, it darts away
4. Arthur Smith

This all depends how Luke does these next few weeks. If he steadily improves and leads this team to the playoffs I don’t think you can go back to Julian.

As it’s been pointed out. Rattled Julian Sayin is a rough proposition and I can’t imagine that he’ll be better after needing surgery.

IMO, you have to see what Luke can do and then if he’s not the answer you go hard after a first round QB in the portal. If Luke kills it and I think he can then he should come pretty affordable but you still have to go out and get a good back up either way.

I’m guessing Sayin was making 5 mil a year and that’s not going to cut it throwing for 50% and a 1:1 TD to INT ratio vs good teams.

Surgery on his elbow has nothing to do with the stopwatch in his head or keeping his composure...

In the rain, on the road, first start ever, true freshman, in the big ten, at night, multiple drops (2 for touchdowns), and he still goes for 260 yards. If he turns in a good performance with a win this week then I’m all in with this guy.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but on rewatch he maneuvers the pocket better than Julian ever has. Impressively he kept his eyes down the field too but I think he needs to just go once he’s out of the pocket unless there’s a wide open guy.

I’m more impressed after having watched the usc snaps for Luke.

calling Ron Rivera just "Cal GM" like he's some nobody in a suit is comical to me

Click to expand...

Truth be told, if they just said “Ron Rivera” instead, I would wonder why the Panthers former HC was commenting on Lupoi’s failures as Cal’s HC.

I had no clue he was their GM until seeing this story. Ideally they would say Cal GM Ron Rivera but if there are character limits for the headline or tweet I suppose cal GM would give the most accurate context clearly.

This is not official, but there is a lot of smoke around Tosh’s job security now

Not doing this at a Penn State game makes me question if any thought went into this at all

Yeah, I’d like to see Mensah be about 3-for-21 with 2 pick-6s.

And Carr have the same stat line, with the final score 14-13 due to a missed XP.

He's been about as impressive of a freshman defender as I can recall in recent years. There are others sure, but Timmons is playing remarkably well and when he's not playing, the defense is noticeabley worse.

Best since Joey Bosa IMO. Can't wait to see him back on the field.

Taking my 2 teenagers to their 1st OSU game ever (my first in awhile too) so I'm looking for parking recomendations for us 3? doesn't have to be too close but would prefer not to walk 10 miles either. and go...............

Definitely need a win and YSU has had decent teams lately

Click to expand...

YSU is basically a whole new team this year (only 1 returning player from last year's roster). They weren't very good last year (15-17), not sure what to expect really from them, but this feels like a game we need to win easily.
