I'm torn about whether "my" Doctor is 4, 10, or 11. I still have to catch up on 13, 14, 14.5, and ...

Down the rabbit hole... That reminds me of ZZ Top's "TV Dinners"...

Kraft: We have an AI-optimized schedule for every cheese production line except Velveeta.

Us: Why not Velveeta?

K: Well, we just wait to have enough trimmings from the other lines to melt down and make a batch...

Us: Oh..........

Listening to @neo4j.com #Nodes2025 content. Not quite sure what to say so far... Hmmm...

Only 63%? They must not have been surveying Vanderbilt students... 😇

Tight pants and horrible socks? Was it a leftover Pete Hegseth Halloween costume? 😇

The Illinois pendulum swings are wild: from governor after governor going to court/jail/prison to J.B.! He's got my vote for whatever he runs for next.

[mad cackle of glee] This is going to be so good...

Dominion says largest US offshore wind project on track The 2.6-GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is set for completion by the end of 2026 despite vessel delays, the utility company said Friday.

Well, that's an overall positive development. Sad to see the cost rise due to the regime's tariffs and energy prices rise due to the regime's killing of subsidies. #OffshoreWind is a hell of a lot better for the planet than offshore drilling...

Thank you for visiting our 00601 branch on 2025-11-04 00:00:00-0600.

Wow... I bet the folks who work at branch 00601 feel like people and not just numbers. Not sure I've ever seen an end-customer e-mail (survey invitation) formatted quite this poorly...

That's the beauty of cooking "something". It doesn't need a name or a recipe to be great, and it can be a different kind of great every time. 😁

💯 A lot of those same folks would lose their minds over the cost of gas, driver's license, and car registration in other places. Our car-centric culture keeps itself in that sweet spot of expensive but not expensive enough to encourage more transit / urban development. The worst of both worlds...

💯 And, the differences between leading an in-office-but-distributed team and a work-from-anywhere team are not all that big. Team cohesion and collaboration are all-or-nothing binaries. If anyone feels left out, the team doesn't work...

There's a part of me that thinks that if the candidates/their surrogate organizations are allowed to solicit me for donations to their campaigns, I ought to be able to vote for (or quite likely against) them... But, yeah... My state isn't voting today either...

IRA was hobbled by slow deployment, Biden staffers say in new report The report suggests how a future administration committed to clean energy deployment could overcome the hurdles the Biden administration faced.

I wish I was surprised by any of this. If the Ds manage to cobble together the votes to pass some "landmark" maybe even slightly "progressive" bill, the Rs hamstring it with amendments, rules, and court battles. Then, the farther left screams "not enough!" 🤷‍♂️

SPP proposes landmark merger of transmission planning, interconnection processes The “consolidated planning process” it proposed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will make it easier to bring new power supplies online, the Southwest Power Pool said.

An interesting proposal that I'm not really equipped to judge, but the sub-regions part makes me a little antsy. It sounds like the sub-region surrounding a #DataCenter hub would bear most of those burdens instead of spreading cost/risk across the whole region...

According to Google translate, the Arabic for "quagmire" is "mustanqae", but that's about to change for the worse...

Intelligence isn't everything... 😇

As Dr. Frank-N-Furter once said, "that's a very tender subject."

Could we order a combo plate and incentivize multi-level parking garages with solar on the top/sides and turn the rest of the baking, asphalt desert back into green space? Maybe, add a little on for a covered bus/transit port?

Hey, reading is not a spectator sport. It's active rugby. It's capoeira. It's each brain cell doing jeet kune do. It plays in the rain, in the mud, in the snow or on the sunniest day of a flower-filled year, but it does so with a wild smile on its face knowing nothing will stop it. Power forward.

What's the over/under on how many people think that's a typo of google instead of an architecture style? 😇

Further inflating what many see as a bubble. Of course, if they're resorting to the public debt markets, that may mean they've already exhausted the private debt markets and may be scraping the bottom of the VC funding barrel.

Interesting, and probably something a lot of people feel at times; likely true of highly empathic or intuitive people as well. It also speaks to a lack of psychological / emotional safety in our lives and what some people think is more important, like their own certainty or biases.

Please don't bite the dodgers. You never know where they've been... 😇

I'm more of a team fan than a sports fan...

Baseball: Cardinals
Hockey: Blues
Soccer: St. Louis City
Football: anyone who's beating the Rams

Once my team is out, I may or may not watch any more of that sport. Although, this is quite a World Series. I bet PM Carney won't buy McD's for the Jays... 😇

The truth is out there!

Core Scientific Investors Vote Down $9 Billion Sale to CoreWeave Shareholders in data center developer Core Scientific voted down a $9 billion sale to cloud provider CoreWeave, ending a deal that CoreWeave pitched as key to lowering the costs of its debt-heavy busi...

Paywalled, but an interesting and evolving story. No idea how #CoreWeave will pivot with their "debt heavy" model seemingly in the middle of the #AI value chain without an obvious "moat" in any direction.

That smile says it all! Very cool!
