The year is 2072. FF podcasters are puzzling over the proliferation of “Joe Flacco”s across many rosters and decades. Assumption is that the name was the John Smith of its day.

The employment and wage benefits to adding a data center to your area: zero.

Interesting study via @profhicks.bsky.social . He leaves the longer term impact of additional techs that may be AI related for large centers, open. TLDR: reconsider tax incentives www.thestarpress.com/story/opinio...

Hicks: Indiana should do more homework on data centers

There was no evidence that data centers led to more employment or incomes. There’s just no effect at all, which is not terribly surprising.

I’m not qualified to have a serious opinion here but I see it often used two ways: pre-snap continuous adjustment of odds for gambling and post-play odds which I assume are advertisements to get investors excited for the tech.

I’m not sure what his snap rate on defense is, but I feel like Hunter should be getting 90% of the snaps on offense and whatever is left in the tank, maybe a few on defense. Just a bolt of electricity out there.

After 40 years with the Postal Service, Andre Laliberte's neighbors ensured he retired with a proper send-off! Laliberte's customers, who knew him well after 38 years of walking the same 11-mile route, lined the road with signs expressing gratitude for his years of service. #MemberMonday

Much like the One Ring, that’s just the small demon that controls him occasionally revealing itself despite his best efforts to keep it hidden.
