Please forgive me, I've marveled at stuff like this before but I'm going to keep at it for a while because it is a radical change for me. - crash davis Mar 31, 06:37 4

This story about "Australia's most hated man" has a lot to process -- (link) - Reagen Mar 31, 06:33 7
- Also let’s not count ScoMo out just yet! Another couple weeks of fuckery and he could make a run for it. -- nm - mafic Mar 31, 06:54
- there’s also not a lot they can really charge him with. - mafic Mar 31, 06:42
- They need to waltzing Matilda him right over the macgillacuddy hoolagaloop. Slightly disadvantageous dinkum! -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 06:40
- Yeesh, what an a-hole. Also, first I've heard of the charge "outraging public decency." -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:40 2
  - It’s kind of archaic and probably wouldn’t stick if dude was willing to really fight it. Like High Court fight it for years. -- nm - mafic Mar 31, 06:49 1
    - I read a little about it and it seems rather vague. Easy to charge but maybe not so easy to convict someone on. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:51
- There’s a bakery called Pusey’s Puffs near my old office. He pronounced it PYOU-zee, which isn’t better. Great puffs though. -- nm - mafic Mar 31, 06:38
Great article on Randall Emmett (who's Randall Emmett? He's produced over 110 films that have grossed more than $1.2B) -- (link) - decline Mar 31, 06:27

- We assume he’ll make it to the very end, but given GB’s playoff history, he will likely disappear next Wednesday and be replaced by an inferior host -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 31, 06:24
Winners and Losers of the March Madness Elite Eight -- (link) - Beaker Mar 31, 06:12
Politico requested, and received, the tax returns of the NYC mayoral candidates (except Ray McGuire) -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 06:10 5
- apartment links!!! -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 06:23
- I should have put a KKKKRRRRRUSSSSTTTTTYYYY signal onthis -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 06:21 3
  - Heh. I just read it. Not surprised McGuire won't release his returns. If he wins we're screwed. Same for Adams. - Krusty Mar 31, 06:23 2
    - The thing that surprised me was how little they (overall) seemed to give to charity. -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 06:26 1
      - Yeah, that's a rather sad fact in those disclosures. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:28

Happy Godzilla vs Kong Day!! -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 06:01
USC screwed it up. It could have been old Pac-8 and old SWC in the Final Four. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 06:00 4
- And now I'm depressed because I realize that I'm old enough to remember both of those conferences. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 06:04 3
  - I don't remember Pac-8 though it's close, but I surely remember SWC. - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 06:31 1
    - I do have a recollection of the Arizona schools joining the Pac-8 to make it the Pac-10. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 06:50
  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:17

Houston vs Baylor -5 O/U 135 UCLA vs Gonzaga -14.5 O/U 146 -- nm - stim-mie Mar 31, 05:31 2
- How much does it say for gonzaga that I’m like, “only 14.5?” -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 31, 05:36 1
  - Once you start getting into double digits it's a crap shoot. Gonzaga could be up 20 with 5 mins left and rest their starters for the final. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 05:56
Since 2013, in Slacker Madness, I’ve gone 3rd in 2013, no team in 14, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 5th, 4th, and likely top 3 again. - Will Hunting Mar 31, 04:17 6
- I tend to do alright. With kids jumping to the NBA year after year. Hard to forecast sometimes. Right around Conference Tourney time do I get to watching College Basketball -- nm* - stim-mie Mar 31, 05:10
- I'm all over the place. I won it in 2019 but the year before that I was near the bottom. It's boom or bust for me. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 05:02 4
  - Same re: boom or bust. I takes my chances since it's all for funsies. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 06:44 3
    - Yup. Gotta pick some upsets and we know it's just a crap shoot. It's a lot of fun to watch your bracket get blown up by the weekend. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:50 2
      - Mine blew up on Day 1 this year! And that's OK, even funny. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 06:54 1
        
        Ha! I don't get mad when that happens. I then end up rooting to have my bracket be as wrong as possible. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 06:57

Watched The Rhythm Section tonight. It was good. Not great, but good. Would pair well with The American, I suspect. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 31, 02:33
I call on the collective wisdom of ST. Can you find a way to turn existing blog articles into YouTube videos? - David Mar 30, 21:58 16
- Somebody's looking to cash in on NFT.... -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 06:32
- 1000 to 1500, no. that's going to be a manual process or you'll need to snip out highlights and jettison the rest. -- nm - colin Mar 31, 06:29

  - That the one that does the pretend pencil sketches? -- nm - Mop Mar 30, 22:38
- Are you talking kinetic word art, word art overlaid onto stock video, word art on non-stock video, or voiceover? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 22:09 9
  - Pull up any listicle you've read this week. Now, imagine a computer automating it into a YouTube video. That's what I need. -- nm - David Mar 30, 22:18 8
    - You're saying video, but do you mean audio, like text-to-speech? - Max Mar 31, 03:46
    - yeah, probably not even to the listicle level of quality. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 22:36 1
      - looks like most of it is not much beyond talking head. -- (link) - mafic Mar 30, 22:39
    - I stumble into this type of (annoying) video on YouTube sometimes. I'll so some digging into the tool used and get back to you. -- nm - Mop Mar 30, 22:34 2
      - iSpeech is the one you always hear on YouTube but this video covers a few of them. -- (link) - Mop Mar 30, 22:37 [youtube] 1

    - As a reader of Marshall McLuhan, I understand your need but shudder at the critical inattentiveness it would enable. - Beryllium Mar 30, 22:28 1
      - Most of the examples I've found come from tech tutorials on YouTube. - Mop Mar 30, 22:44
oops, messed that up - Fantastic Four, Fant4stic, Rise of the Silver Surfer is not the way to watch them. heh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 21:33
Has anyone looked at Target's clothing recently. What the heck is going on. Vintage is all well and good but some of us like more basic. - Meg Mar 30, 21:28 5
- they out priced me years ago. - Pippy Mar 31, 05:47
- after the pandemic of 1918 we went from demur/doudy to roaring 20s flappers... history might repeat itself as so much has already -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 00:15

No teams east of the Mississippi in the Final Four? -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:24

- How may I help, my friend? -- nm - David Mar 30, 21:11 3
  - I meant that you would post "What is God's greatest gift?" :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:13 2
    - So, you jinxed it? -- nm - David Mar 30, 21:16 1
      - I don't believe I did -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:18
- Hmmm that’s right we HAVEN'T had a David answers anything thread in awhile - Pippy Mar 30, 21:05 2
  - Figure out your own problems, bub. I'm on a basketball break. -- nm - David Mar 30, 21:10 1

  - You make me sad. - Krusty Mar 30, 21:01 3
    - I'm behind on thrillers, no way I can catch up to family comedies :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:05 2
      - It's worth taking the time to watch. It's a good palette cleanser from the thrillers. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 21:07 1
        
        I turned on that Invincible some guys were raving about. It was funny but I fell asleep. I'll never catch up on TV -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:08

Been avoiding the doctor for quite some time. Finally went, got a whole battery of blood tests done. (warning; massive overshare) - crash davis Mar 30, 20:18 23
- I had about those same cholesterol and tri numbers, took statins, found out I have that weird reaction to them which precludes you from taking them. - jnine Mar 30, 21:19 2
  - And this game about killed me. -- nm - jnine Mar 30, 21:20 1
    - EX. CITING. -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:21
- Not that bad and hopefully you can get what is off to where they need to be. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 21:04 1
  - gracias! -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 21:15
- its just growing older....how is your blood pressure? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 30, 20:31 1
  - Too high, I'm also going to make efforts there. One positive note: I figured I need to lose 25 pounds. Turns out I overestimated my weight by 7 pounds. So I've already got 25% of that goal accomplished :) -- nm* - crash davis Mar 30, 20:34
- good. - znufrii Mar 30, 20:21 13
  - Yep, the Lipitor club...though I'd prefer a book club of some sort :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 20:23 12
    - We can read up on side effects and other drug interactions. - Pippy Mar 30, 20:46 11
      - In fact, I was just reading about why you should avoid grapefruit. -- nm* - znufrii Mar 30, 20:47 10
        
        I was already avoiding grapefruit due to another med but this is good to know. -- nm - Pippy Mar 30, 20:55 9
        
        I miss Salty Dogs -- nm - Pippy Mar 30, 20:56 8
        
        It does take away some cocktail options -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 20:58 7
        
        We will have plaque free blood and Tequila in our veins! - Pippy Mar 30, 21:04 6
        
        my veins may have a problem. my GP told me today to see my cardiologist about my toes getting purple & pealing last month. they look fine now. - Peglegpete Mar 30, 21:30 3

WUT? -- (link) - ty97 Mar 30, 20:18 29
- As opposed to...? - znufrii Mar 30, 20:25 26
  - Building out cell coverage, 5G, Fiber...reinforcing power grids, clearing waterways. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 20:35 13
    - And why is the government paying for the first three instead of telephone/cellphone/internet/TV companies who make massive profits off - Krusty Mar 31, 04:58 10
      - Meanwhile... -- (link) - oblique Mar 31, 05:40 3
        
        *smh* We need more of them to help with the dearth of broadband in some areas. Some communities are doing some amazing things. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 05:44 2
        
        But aren’t you arguing the opposite to me? - Will Hunting Mar 31, 06:09 1
        
        I'm not. I'm all for cities having their own local broadband networks. I'm not for the federal government paying billions to do the work of the - Krusty Mar 31, 06:21
      - They see no profits in building out those lines. Businesses build their max profits, not for the betterment of all. So, Montana gets screwed. - Will Hunting Mar 31, 05:15 5
        
        They make so much profit outside of the small cities they can't cry about profits as the reason they don't expand to small population areas. - Krusty Mar 31, 05:36 4
        
        We're going to build all this for them to make money off of? Makes no sense. There has to be a way to put the burden on them and not the people. -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 05:37 3
        
        That’s not how business works. Your job is to maximize profits, not be altruistic. You shouldn’t force businesses to lose money just to fill a gap - Will Hunting Mar 31, 05:54 2
        
        If we build out the infrastructure then we should own it but in that case why would the internet companies want to lease those lines if there's - Krusty Mar 31, 06:12 1
        
        I never said give it away to the companies. - Will Hunting Mar 31, 06:22
    - They're talking about a $3t bill, I'd hope that stuff is going to be in there too. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 20:49 1
      - And that’s opposed to... see, answered your question. They want to break the idea that infrastructure is only shovel ready roads and bridges - Will Hunting Mar 30, 20:54
  - I assume they would prefer a greater focus on social reform. - Beryllium Mar 30, 20:26 7
    - I would also like it if bridges and dams didn't suffer catastrophic failure. -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 20:39 3
      - But think of the iniquities suffered by your fellow man. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 20:42 2
        
        Thus I would not like them to drown -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 20:44 1
        
        Hmm, you raise a valid point. Drowning is frowned upon. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 20:45
    - por que no los dos? -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 20:32 1
      - Because democrats seem barely capable of achieving one thing, if that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 20:45
    - Social reforms are good....for a social reform bill! - ty97 Mar 30, 20:27
  - I honestly don't know. Someone needs to go define the word 'infrastructure' to them. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 20:26 3
    - I get the feeling they'd just as soon not have an infrastructure bill at all. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 30, 20:30 2
      - We desperately need an infrastructure bill in large part to deal with our vast, aging infrastructure. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 20:37
      - if you look at the history of urban development projects, urban 'renewal' its structure built on bulldozed minority communities. - zeitgeist Mar 30, 20:37
- Well, yes and no. - Beryllium Mar 30, 20:24
- that sounds kind of ..... stupid -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 20:20
I got a little to little and lot too much, and that's enough of that stuff -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 30, 20:15
ST is now open to Phase 1B -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 20:14
