Sotutu, Dalton and Clarke for me. McWhannell special mention.

Really good depth this year, players missing out and almost being good enough to start.
-
Crazy how bad it was considering how good the last one was.

Rob Nichol is the new Jock Hobbs.

@Canerbry said in Waratahs v Crusaders:
@Kirwan by making the top 8 the Crusaders can still ruin someone's season, we could knock out the Hurricanes in the quarters...
That would be funny.

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Brumbies:
One area that's improved under Cotter is discipline. Fewer penalties/cards
And fitness. We used to fade badly in the last ten mins, I'd argue that's been completely flipped.

It's so much better at tipping than me, it's not funny.
WRONG.
It's really funny
I've always been terrible at tipping, heart over head. It was an interesting experiment, be interesting to see if it rebounds, the smaller rounds fucked it.

And the fun of that structure once you were out is you could ruin someone else's season
-
Pretty damning of the comp structure if they do.
-
Probably a reasonable time (since the wheels are coming off) to admit I outsourced my tipping to Claude AI. I feed in the last three years of results, weighted for 2024 results, and take what it gives me verbatim.
(Which is why you'll see some tips against the Blues).

Flopped?! Tis but a scratch, a temporary speed wobble.

The embassy that was bombed also had people that were organising the attacks on northern Israel, so a legitimate target.
Iran have had line items in their budget for decades supporting terrorists, they don’t even hide it.

GPT4 needs a little nudging from time to time. It’s getting a little lazy, which to be honest, makes it hard not to anthropomorphise the thing.

Man, that’s tough news. Remarkable that’s been training and playing this year at all. Hope he has it beaten.

Bugger.

active in purging bots
On this, is this the bullshit accounts? I hardly use so not bothered but I get multiple add requests a day since it became x.
Yeah, in the last few years the tech to create bots has gotten exponentially better. It’s a huge problem for all social media platforms.
X purges them, Twitter pretended they were real users to inflate user growth figures.

@nzzp another one i didn't know about, how long was that for amazon though?...have to have made a profit at some point for bezos to become so rich
20 years I think for Amazon, they were famous for never making a profit. Uncharitably for hiding profits for tax, but they were also building massive warehouses.

@Kirwan thats mad considering how long it existing before musk bought it
ehhh you have to be a bit careful. Amazon famously didn't turn a profit - but they invested heavily in systems, processes, etc -basically in growth. Twitter might have been doing the same thing ... but ultimately people obviously thought future value was there
Amazon was well run. Twitter didn’t even have a dev environment, so it wasn’t investment in system s.
They had a bar and some great woke t-shirts though.

@Kiwiwomble said in Tesla Roadster:
@Kirwan if it had never made a profit, how was it being bank rolled? did it just break even so kept limping along financially?
Nope, lost money regularly. Was bankrolled by investors expecting them to make a profit in the future. Speculation basically.
