English language proficiency is important. Understanding the risks and how to operate and function in the country you live in is important. Uber Dallas guy Couldn't communicate in English. 80 degrees and he didn't understand turn the air on. He drove 55 in a 70 the whole way. Four cars blew their horn because he wouldn't maintain our lane. Every exit only sign he waited until the very last minute until he could see everyone merging couldn't read the signs. This guy is an accident waiting to happen. Now...imagine him in a 80k lbs truck. For context I investigate crashes and testify in court on human factors and driving, etc., I train drivers, commercial and non, EVOC, Motorcade, AAA, NSC and Smith system with every license and Endorsement possible...this guy crashes in the next 90 days I'd bet my life on it. What is happening to licensing standards in this country? – at Highland Park, TX

This girl is an embarrassment to A&M. She doesn't know her history (she transposed "1876" as the year A&M first admitted black students--that was the year the university was FOUNDED). Texas A&M's mascot is a dog named "Reveille." She enjoys status as the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets. Texas A&M is a Senior Military College (exact same congressional mandate for military training as The Citadel, VMI, Norwich, etc.--TAMU didn’t admit our first "nonreg" (non-military) student until 1965--only 2 years after integrating women and minorities in 1963 (and the civil right act passed in 1964). Reveille became A&M's mascot in 1931, over 30 years prior to the civil rights act and integration. She gets her name from what the cadets who took her in so dubbed her after the mutt they picked up to care for after a car accident got excited to hear the morning bugle call (a tune known as "Reveille). A dog becoming the mascot for my Fightin' Texas Aggies had literally nothing to do with elevating a dog over black people, and I'm disappointed that she'd even think to go there in her misguided thought process. I'm not calling her dumb, but she should also know that Texas A&M discontinued affirmative action admissions back in 2003 (a point of fierce pride for me, as I was accepted in 2006). And the school's black and hispanic admissions GREW even faster than those at texas university in austin. Grew with minorities who EARNED their way in, rather than simply checking a box on the school's diversity metrics. She'd do well to honor that legacy by applying critical thought to her incorrect stance asserting black people or minorities cannot be racist. Her feeble "prejudice" rejoinder doesn't follow, either, as prejudice based on skin color is literally racism by definition. youtu.be/wTM8uc6IZKA?is=6DBn…

I guess legal AGI isn’t here yet
TRACKED CHANGES: Anthropic has hired nearly 100 lawyers in 18 months as it prepares for a potentially record-breaking IPO. Many sit outside its legal department, in HR, tax, policy and product teams, Bloomberg Law reports.

Not going to believe it. Absolutely no chance Texas blows another double digit lead at home in back-to-back weeks. Won’t happen.

We literally saw Marcel complete a few open passes and were so astonished that we thought the season was back on

The more mimetic a person is, the more blind they are to another entity's mimesis.
The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

Taleb making the fairly standard mistake of blaming the propagandised for consuming the propaganda. People aren’t stupid they are manipulated, sold to, conned, deluded, deceived and deliberately severed from their instincts. Rather like he was during Convid.

Since the start of last year, Notre Dame's 16 wins have come against teams that are a combined 62-91 vs FBS opponents (.405) and 32-78 vs P4 opp (.290). Take off the 16 L to the Irish and its 32-62 vs P4...

Building the ideal NFL roster based entirely on their relationship situation: QB: Married to an above-average looking woman he met before he was famous. Attractive, supportive, but not Madison Beer hot. QB1 cannot have distractions. RB: Knocked up his college girlfriend sophomore year. Still with her. 3 kids. Rumored mistress that everyone in the organization knows about but nobody discusses. May have one domestic violence charge that got dropped. WR1: Completely single. Zero responsibilities. Following 4,700 women on Instagram. Let him cook. WR2: Dating an Instagram model with 800k followers. Relationship is extremely toxic. Somehow this makes him better. Slot WR: White guy married to a beautiful mid blonde. Golden retriever. Two kids. Lives 12 minutes from the facility. Automatic on 3rd & 7. TE: Dating a famous actress/singer who gets shown during every broadcast. Annoying but necessary for team morale. LT/RT: Married to high school sweethearts. Southern women. Three kids minimum. Own homes on 5+ acres. Absolutely zero nightlife. Guards: Also married. Wives are best friends. Joint family vacations every offseason. Center: Has been with the same woman since 8th grade. She packs his lunch. WR3: Single, but not famous enough to pull WR1 numbers. Gets the girls WR1 stopped responding to. Kicker: Wife is inexplicably a 10. Nobody understands how he did it. Punter: You have literally no idea if he has ever spoken to a woman. This team goes 14-3.

Notre Dame lost to the one ranked team they’ve played all season. The preferential treatment of that prima donna program has got to stop.

Texas A&M fans.. read #4.
The 4 things I would love to see @AggieFootball do tomorrow: 1. I would love to see more QB designed runs. Yes, we will only win the game because of our pass game, but Marcel having success on the ground will help him be more effective passing. It will also force the defense respect his ability to use his legs. 2. I would love for Coach Elko to blitz more. This is one of the things that makes Elko special. Yes, you would love to hit home on your blitzes, but part of blitzing is to hit the QB and make him uncomfortable, but also force the QB to react to non-generic coverages. This will also set up and allow you to mug LBs and safeties and drop them out in coverage on certain downs, just to add another element in the QBs mind that he may need to get the ball out quick. 3. I would love to see more physicality from the DBs in the pass game. Don’t be afraid to get your hands on guys. Force the QB to make perfect throws against tight man coverage. If you set the tone with the physicality early in the game, it makes it much harder for the refs to call flags later in the game because of the physicality that has already been established. 4. I would love to see Aaron Gregory get more targets. Simple.

Can't say I didn't warn y'all. There's several around the country where drivers are being named as statutory employees of brokers and shippers. Those and other wonders. There's so much going on in the world of broker shipper liability...and broker shipper defense.

I get it. Johnny is an easy person to dunk on. Johnny had more rushing yards and tds in a season than Jeremiyah love. He did it in the sec vs ND bullshit schedule. This is just such a stupid take. Johnny is top 5 college qb of all time.
Mike Evans is the Answer. The question is one of the following: 1. Why was Johnny Manziel good in college? 2. Why did Baker Mayfield get paid in Tampa? 3. Why is Jason Licht called a “great drafter”? 4. Why is the Bucs WR room now one of the worst in NFL? Mike. Evans.
