    Every once in a while I want to say thanks to y'all...

    Really, seeing the perpetual, luminous quality your skin carries from spending all non-working hours basking in the glow of the 23 large flat screens adorning your man cave is thanks enough.

    Starkville people…..

    I have an acquaintance that has several restaurants and he says there are towns that are "restaurant towns" and towns that are not in ways that are not explained by demographics or tourists or whatever. Some places just have a population that just eats out at a lower rate than typical for their...

    OT: Non Alcoholic beer and spirits. Why?

    There are definitely drinks I have where the ritual is part of it. I don't drink much beer, but I can get the appeal of cracking open a cold non-alcoholic beer after mowing the lawn or whatever. Not sure I get the sitting around drinking it part. But sitting down at the end of the night, or...

    Out of Bounds

    The existing gerrymandering is a terrible deal for everybody. Even if you assume that black people are a monolithic voting block, having districts like Bennie Thompson's means their only say is in the primary, and a challenger has to overcome party politics to beat him, which is easier than it...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    That was a real question. Are those the turbines or the actual data center? I’m slightly more than 50% sure you are not a bot so wanted to know the answer.

    OT: Declining High School Enrollment in MS

    I'm way more free trade than the average person, but we have a lot of americans that need work and don't have the capability to be managers, even if it were the case that they could just manage foreign labor from the US. And we do put a pretty big burden on american labor to make it...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    I mean, for that weird as hell definition we may be there in 5 years. But I always thought of the singularity as something along the lines of "AI is self learnign to the point that it does not need human input to keep improving, and its capabilities therefore immediately accelerate beyond...

    Interesting resume for us

    Semi-related, but USCw is 1-10 against quad 1, 8-1 against quad 2, and then 33-3 against quad 3 and 4. We are 9-13 against quad 1, 4-3 against quad 2, and then 27-0 against quad 3 and 4. They are not quite .6% better than us winning percentage against quad 1 and 2 and 8.3% worse than us...

    Spotted at SEC Tourney

    That's gotta be an Ole Miss fan trying to bring bad juju. Or maybe one of the MSU "fans" that think every dollar spent on baseball detracts from football. Or maybe somebody that's not a fan at all but was invited to the game and found his only MSU shirt. Probalby the last one because surely...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    So I take it that is the turbines? Been going down a rabbit hole about the sound and it's a mix of people that are adamant there is no real noise, a people that are adamant that data centers are ridiculously loud, and people that claim they are particularly sensitive to them like the people...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    Happiness one is plausible because that’s subjective. Basic human needs is almost certainly a measure of preferred policies, not actual human needs. Life expectancy and health is very probably correct if there is no adjustment for demographics. Press and personal freedom is ludicrous. As bad as...

    #2 Seed at Hattiesburg

    Loser mentality happy with just hosting. We have a new coach that hasn't proven himself at MSU. It's national seed or bust if we are a legit program.**

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    That's not the data center itself. I'm assuming those are aeroderivative turbines. That sounds like a real issue but its an issue of where power plants are allowed to be located. Not a practical difference to any residents that have to deal with it, but a real difference with respect to...

    Would you?

    No doubt. But I the "looks half her age" headline is just rage bait. If you showed me that picture, I think I'd guess 60ish.

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    Well, I googled how loud AI centers are and the AI generated answer said it was like heavy traffic. I don't know why you'd question that.**
