So you have an axe to grind because of another sports success?
Or are you here “just asking questions”
- Comment on Why is the NFL draft day so "special"? 9 hours ago:
The sheets of paper are getting filled in minutes before they’re announced,
The teams can trade their picks between each other,
It’s not known what teams are going to take what players, if my team (4) thinks team 1 is going to take player A, and team 2 isn’t interested in that player but team 3 is, if team 1 takes player b instead my team might talk with team 2 about trading draft pick positions so we can get that player.
There’s a lot of talking between a lot of professionals representing a lot of teams, the whole situation is very fluid, and it might change the course of your franchise (unless you’re the Jets)
It’s also 3 days of spectacle.

The draft is being held in your state this year, it’s the first time as far as I can recall, they want to make a good show of it so it might return some day.

I wish warlock, “master of the arcane” and it’s sequel had done better, they were the perfect balance been civ and age of wonders, with twice the gameplay speed of either
- Comment on The Triple-i Initiative 2025 - Indie games for 2025 1 week ago:
It definitely had more games! Was very satisfied when the previews ended where they did, would’ve been amazing to have more but it was already so much,
Absolutely 10/10 protection, added a fair number of games to my wishlist, and even bought a couple. And It was fun trying to guess what games were before their titles came up.
Is that deep rock galactic going to be another free content update? At first I thought they were finally integrating what they learned from deep rock galactic survivors (and that would explain why they’ve never thought too long on multiplayer), but that has to be way too much for just a content update, right? Jeez coffee stain continues to knock it out of the park.

Wasn’t this like 40 minutes last year? Damn I’m excited to watch this (especially if it’s like last year’s) but that’s quite a time commitment, maybe over the next couple days.
I think I added half the games from last year to my steam wishlist/follow, unfortunately quite a few are still in development.
- Comment on The White House orders federal agencies to name chief AI officers and expand the use of AI, rescinding Biden-era orders intended to place AI safeguards. 2 weeks ago:
That’s the crux of my statement, yes.
AI doesn’t scare me.
How people respond to it scares me
And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.

Now I’m frightened to my core.
AI doesn’t scare me.
People making decisions off of AI scare me.
The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.

My medicine is fighting misinformation, guess what the source of that is here?
I’m not doing this for you, you’ve shown yourself beyond saving.
I’m doing this for the poor person who read your first comment, said, ‘yeah that sounds correct’ and gave you an up tick.
My they, and others who stumbled upon it, read through our dialogue here and realize one of us has logic, and the other has “go take your meds”.
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 4 weeks ago:
Nice to see you fall back on the person you’re talking with is in need of medication, rather than considering they’ve made a point you should consider.
I wonder if it’s projection, but I shouldn’t consider malice when you’ve repeatedly shown me you’re probably just stupid.

Please read my comment again about combining like units you…
Nope that’s all you get out of me until you remember apples and oranges

Johnny has 3 and 4, Billy wants 2, johnny gave Billy two but billy wanted apples and Johnny only had dollars and bullets,
Fortunately Johnny have Billy the two bullets so Billy wouldn’t have to live in an idiotic world without labeled data
Go back to grade school or pull your head out of your ass, you’ve either been deprived of an education or you’re deliberately ignoring it to bait me into wasting my time teaching you fundamental mathematics.
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 4 weeks ago:
Okay,
There’s this thing called the order of operations
And seeing as how you don’t know about it, it makes sense that you won’t know the difference between square miles and miles squared.
Please check out a junior high school math text book before bothering to argue on the Internet.
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 4 weeks ago:
"the Louisiana purchase added 838,000 square miles to the United States, tell me, was it 1/4 the size of the United States, or the 100x the surface area of the sun?
One of those are square miles, the other is miles squared.
But I don’t know why I expect you to understand this now.

I think square feet is popular because many things dealt with aren’t squares, but a square foot is generally small enough to be a good measure, while also large enough to not be an unreasonably large number. When square feet are too small we move to yards (meters), acres, hectares or miles.
A house or apartment isn’t usually square, so how would you apply feet (or meters) squared to it? While a property line might well be equally long on each edge, so you might see it in feet squared, but also that number looks A LOT smaller, so you’ll often see square feet or meters
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 4 weeks ago:
Did you not notice the unit modifier in the my second phrase???
Let me spell it out for you.
3 (three) ’ (feet) ^2 (squared)
You’d have me repeating myself like a monkey, which is, NINE.
3 (three) sq (square) ft (feet) is THREE.
but I suspect you’ll disagree at at this point I’ll move on, my only sadness is there was a person out there who agreed with your original argument that they were the same.

Those are the exact same thing because they are the exact same thing.
I understand English is difficult to parse, I hope you’ll get there some day.
I guess you’re the person who this comic is written with thoughts of
Maybe when you’re buying real estate or property some day it’ll click for you, in the mean time please ask for help before writing units in scientific papers, or interpreting those papers, and definitely don’t try to spread the results of those papers to others, lest we end up with world consuming insects.

No need to add the comma if you say it properly, feet squared are not squared feet, quantifier (3) adjective (square) noun (feet) vs quantifier (3) noun (square) affective (feet), it’s the order of operations in the English language, one is quantifying the distance of the edge, while the other is quantifying how many individual edges (squares) of set distance (feet) you have.
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 5 weeks ago:
3 square feet are 3 1x1 feet, 1/3rd of a square yard. 3 feet squared is a square yard, 3x larger than 3 sqft.
Unless I’m missing your sarcasm.
Also the purpose of this xkcd
- Comment on xkcd #3065: Square Units 5 weeks ago:
Always bothers me that I can’t trust 90% of people (myself included) to properly state area, square feet or feet squared, very different scales.

Whinging eh? I read that similar to whinching or winging though I know you mean whining. If we’re tossing in question marks?

That was my thought, nobody in their right mind (least of all paranoid rich people) would use a third party service that requires them to announce they’re someone of value.
