It’s not selfish. The worst part for me is the gambling cos infiltrated all of my favorite sports content too. It went from gambling ads to just being the entire damn network. It’s really sad and has effects all over.

Another thing that’s so great about this nerdy hobby is back in 2007 when Tomlin was interviewing for head coaching jobs the miami dolphins referred to him as “too hip hop” to hire as head coach. . .
Tomlin is also notoriously great at the podium. He takes “ice in the veins” and “fire in the belly” and is always able to elevate that kind of coach speak and keep it fresh. He’s a tremendous coach.
Re:The Golden Age of British Ice Cream

Ice cream is the one food we haven’t destroyed in America. In the rural areas around me I can go to a handful of farms and get the ice cream that’s made right there and find them in the local grocery stores too. It’s depressing how great the icecream is when the rest of the food supply has taken a sharp dive the other direction.

It's the french open. There's always been a bug with google search where sometimes I have to search 'french open' or 'australian open' twice to get it to give me the google scores. That bug still exists, sometimes it just brings up the site, but now it will also sometimes just go into AI mode and it will refuse to get out of it. Like even when you click for otherwise, it will force its way back.
The google live scores is a great feature. But when it's not coming up, even googling "french open google live scores" doesn't just bring it up every single time. It might if you try, but try multiple times over the day...

Zero shot you'd make it an hour in a proper sauna for an hour. People have this idea that saunas are always enjoyable. I sauna daily, and its nice up to a point. For me thats like 10-12mins in. From then on, its tough.

Michigan border towns are insane for that reason. People come from as far as 6 states over for the cheap prices. On the other side of the state from Monroe lies New Buffalo. 33 dispos on a small stretch of road in a small lake town. All to bring in.. wait for it… $1.4mil in tax revenue ie basically a rounding error for even a small municipality…

Re:How I Left YouTube
on Wednesday December 24, 2025 @10:55PM (#46381934)
I’m a YouTube premium subscriber. Just yesterday I found myself opening a private window to watch a video with ads, rather than letting the algorithm know I was watching the video on my account. Even if I remove the video from my watch history, YouTube can’t help itself. You make a great point on stale content and the overall enshittification is becoming intolerable.

If I click I’m not interested on every short presented to me and I’ve never watched a short, why can’t YouTube get the point? At least give us the option to remove them. I don’t deal with the translation issue but not giving you the option is what is beyond frustrating for me.

Where I live, if I don’t shop at fancy grocery stores 30-40min away, it’s generous to call the produce ‘produce’. Literally never knew onions could look this bad. A lot of the citrus is like deflated in the inside, the bananas are trash, and a single bell pepper is $3. I could go on and on. Just think we enshittified the food situation and now it’s more expensive and way worse quality.

One of my handful of follows puts out multiple 2 hour videos a day sometimes, almost every day. I hardly watch, but I always throw it on and let it play through, and will replay it on mute while doing other things, just so this guy with 1.8k views is getting a bigger share of my youtube premium money. I don't participate in the channel, like I said, I really hardly watch, but monthly I have been getting free memberships to his channel since I started doing it.

Ah man, I love music videos! I constantly run YouTube just playing music videos. They are just as good as ever. Also, I get a lot of my music from untraditional places and music videos help me gauge how popular something I like is. But yeah, new music videos are just as awesome as ever, if you are into that kinda thing.

Re:Bald Eagles Are Thriving Again After Near Extinction
on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @07:43AM (#43183135)
I've lived in the area I live in for over 30 years. It's in a rural area. Last year I was walking in the woods and I came across a bald eagle on the ground eating something. I was probably 10 feet from it when it flew away. I saw 2 when I was golfing last summer. And then just a couple of months ago I saw another flying above my car after eating something near the road.
I had never seen a bald eagle before these encounters.

The other issue is American quality has gone down the tank. 10-15 years ago I’d look for American quality over Chinese, but nowadays I prefer the Chinese manufacturer almost 100% of the time. Not always the case but anecdotally chinas quality has gotten better while American stuff has gotten worse.

Nothing drives me more nuts than them showing commercials during the changeover, coming back at 30-0 and then showing the replay of the drama from what went down during the changeover.
When I watch a match commercial free, with changeovers, I find myself much more engaged. Changeovers can tell you a lot about the match and player and espn just ignores it and then has the audacity to replay any drama during the real points. It’s a travesty.

In case anyone is wondering how to pay for and watch tennis in US: there is a tennis tv app. That app allows you to watch the men’s tour. There’s another app, the tennis channel app, that is for the women’s tour and maybe some other random tourneys. Neither of those apps have the grand slams tho, ie the Australian open. For that , in the US you need espn plus and can’t get away from ads. And then there’s also the French open. And between nbc, peacock and whatever else, beyond pirating the matches, I’ve genuinely been stumped trying to pay for it legitimately.
I saw this the other day on YouTube and it made me turn on the real thing.

Lastly, the younger generations aren't into cars as a hobby/culture like the previous ones were. They don't drive as much and view cars as more of an appliance
I think this was true of the last younger generation, and prob me and maybe you, but from what I’m seeing, TikTok is making anything and everything cool to the youths, particularly trade type jobs. They are realizing how much money there is to be made because our generation didn’t want the work and are embracing the opportunities because the videos they are watching are making it look cool.

Re:CSCI 181G PO: Game Engine Programming

This reminds me of an upper level cs class I took in college. Can’t exactly remember the course but it was a lot of logic and terminal. We had this long syllabus and barely made it thru 2 assignments. It was a mess. Great school, great teacher too.
The next year I had another cs prof pull me aside and ask me what the hell happened in that class. And I didn’t have answer. It was an unfocused mess.
But that syllabus used in the course old. It wasn’t the first time the prof had used it. Something changed between my freshman and sophomore years, 2005-2007. When I first took cs, no one was in the class. By the following year they were adding intro cs classes. The next year a bunch of less passionate(for lack of better term) students ended up in higher level cs courses and maybe the course work was too rigorous. I still am unsure. Had some great programmers from the younger classes too.
