I enjoy KK earnestly trying to engage with dax in good faith, only to receive some batshit nonsense in return.

What did Harrison do now?
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker bashes Pride Month, tells women to stay in the kitchen
You'd think these were different speeches based on the Fox News headline, but nope: Chiefs' Harrison Butker goes after Biden over abortion stance as a Catholic

Honestly, you have to lean into AI if you're in any kind of professional field. And I'm not even sure if it's "AI" as much as large-language models.

This was kind of my thought. It could serve certain functions. But there are nuances that still need to be taught. Still, I do think that teachers should be worried (more than they already are, based on a number of things).

It's kind of amazing what you've managed to achieve, given your dietary restrictions.

Groan. I hope it's not true. I do not like the SEC. If this happens, both of my alma maters (almae matres?) will be in the traitor conference.

i can make no claim to being a good man, but that seems like an impossible amount of physical labor to complete in a day.
Shoot. I could lay a rod in a day easily.

I've pimped Willie Mae's Scotch House in NoLa before as life changing fried chicken. Here's a YouTube review of what appears to be their L.A. expansion.

I've been to Red Lobster once since high school, ~2017 during--you guessed it--Lobster Fest. I was underwhelmed and between my date and I it ended up being like $50-60/person.

Maybe I'm not sure of the definition of scampi, but that looks quite similar to the garlic, butter, white wine (and basil) shrimp pasta I made last weekend? What is scampi?

For all my friends and family that have never ventured to Dallas, Daalis, or Dallus, here is an aerial view of one of the major mix masters (highways intersecting).
TRUE STORY! Driving in Dallas......
First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is DAL-LUS, or DAA-LIS depending on if you live inside or outside LBJ Freeway. Next, if your Mapsco is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one. If in Denton County and your Mapsco is one-day-old, then it is already obsolete. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. (Frisco has screwed everything up.) Dallas has its own version of traffic rules... "Hold on and pray." There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dallas . We all drive like that. All directions start with, "Get on Beltline," which has no beginning and no end. (It REALLY DOESN'T!!!) The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10. The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed out and possibly shot. When you are the first one on the starting line, count to five when the light turns green before going to avoid crashing with all the drivers running the red light in cross-traffic. Construction on Central Expressway is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment. We had sooo much fun with that, we have added George Bush Freeway and the High Five to the mix. All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we're in Fort Worth !" If someone actually has his or her turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect. Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators - and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas .. All old ladies with blue hair in a Mercedes have the right of way. Period. And remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas .. Inwood Road, Plano Road, NW Highway, East Grand, Garland Road, Marsh Lane, Josey Lane, 15th Street, Preston Road all mysteriously change names as you cross intersections (these are only a FEW examples). The perfect example is what is MOSTLY known as Plano Road . On the south end, it is known as Lake Highlands Drive, cross Northwest Highway and it becomes Plano Road, go about 8 miles and it is briefly Greenville Ave, Ave K, and Highway 5. It ends in Sherman ...The North Dallas Tollway is our daily version of NASCAR. The minimum acceptable speed on the Dallas North Toll Road is 85 mph. Anything less is considered downright sissy. It also ends in Sherman . If asking directions in Irving or SE Dallas , you must have knowledge of Spanish. If in central Richardson or on Harry Hines, Mandarin Chinese will be your best bet. If you stop to ask directions on Gaston or Live Oak, you better be armed... and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas. The wrought iron on windows near Oak Cliff and Fair Park is not ornamental!! A trip across town east to west will take a minimum of four hours, although many north/south freeways have unposted minimum speeds of 75. It is possible to be driving WEST in the NORTH-bound lane of EAST NORTHWEST Highway . Don't let this confuse you. LBJ is called "The Death Trap" for two reasons: "death" and "trap." If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend. If it's 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Fort Worth Stock Show is going on. If it has rained 6 inches in the last hour, the Byron Nelson Golf Classic is in the second round (if it's Spring) - and it is the Texas State Fair if it's Fall. If you go to the Fair, pay the $15.00 to park INSIDE Fair Park . Parking elsewhere could cost up to $2500 for damages, towing fees, parking tickets, and possibly a gunshot wound. If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in his yard, run over him. Any amusement parks, stadiums, arenas, racetracks, airports, etc., are conveniently located as far away from EVERYTHING as possible so as to allow for ample parking on grassy areas. Final Warning: Don't Mess With Texas Drivers ... remember, it's legal to Be armed in Texas.
IMO, the only unacceptable pronunciation is HOWS-ton. Like SoHo in NYC.
