Kansan and Jayhawk!

I dabble in lots of things. Used to be a network engineer! Paramedic and 911 dispatcher before that.

Jayhawks played AMAZING, without Regan or Jaliya! Audi Crooks is good and all, but she should have fouled out before the half.

KU falls to ISU by 3

An 'architect' of AI? That's a bit like when a kid sits at the front of the top deck of the bus and pretends to be the bus driver.

Jeez. NIST in Boulder was affected by the wind-related power outages and lost sync with their masers

#timegeeks
text from an email from jeff sherman at NIST Bill Woodcock via Outages <outages@outages.org> Attachments11:54 AM (6 minutes ago) to Hank, Bill Widely reported, but not yet on Outages: https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/internet-time-service/c/o0dDDcr1a8I jeff.sherman@nist.gov 2:18 AM (17 hours ago) to Internet-time-service Dear colleagues, In short, the atomic ensemble time scale at our Boulder campus has failed due to a prolonged utility power outage. One impact is that the Boulder Internet Time Services no longer have an accurate time reference. At time of writing the Boulder servers are still available due a standby power generator, but I will attempt to disable them to avoid disseminating incorrect time. The affected servers are: time-a-b.nist.gov time-b-b.nist.gov time-c-b.nist.gov time-d-b.nist.gov time-e-b.nist.gov ntp-b.nist.gov (authenticated NTP) No time to repair estimate is available until we regain staff access and power. Efforts are currently focused on obtaining an alternate source of power so the hydrogen maser clocks survive beyond their battery backups.

"Schwab did not give a reason for the decision to change the county’s top election leadership. But Sherman said Thursday morning that it amounted to a difference on an election policy issue that he did not want to disclose."

SOMETHING IS AMISS.

The “gift” of ADHD (Part 1)

Prints adhd-alien.com
Support patreon.com/adhd_alien/
Comic titled: “The ‘gift’ of ADHD – Part 1/2.” Panel 1: The ADHD Alien character sits at a desk with papers, looking frustrated. Text reads: “When I’m not interested in a task, it’s so hard to start.” Panel 2: Bright, glowing scene. A golden, angel-like version of the character appears as the character looks amazed at a small dinosaur. Text: “But when something interests me, my brain will hyperfocus like there’s no tomorrow.” Speech bubble from the glowing figure: “Let’s use all that brain energy to research dinosaurs!” Caption below: “This is what people refer to as THE ‘gift’ of ADHD.” Panel 3: The glow fades. The character looks exhausted while the golden figure dismisses her. Text: “But it comes at a cost.” Thought and speech bubbles say: “I didn’t drink all day.” “Or spoke to my boyfriend…” “Can we take a break?” The glowing figure replies: “Hahaha, no.”

I'm glad to see the UG is trying to find a new tenant, since the Merc Co-Op screwed over KCK.

They got a free building for 5 years, only had to pay utilities and taxes. Seems like a sweet deal to me

NCAR does a whole lot more than just climate research, and I think calling it a climate research lab paints an incomplete picture. Atmospheric chemistry, severe thunderstorms, radar, software and tools, etc.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Regardless of what happens anywhere in sports tonight, the biggest upset will be 3-23 Jerome "not the RPI guy" Palm winning the opening tip against 20-3 Mohamed Wague, who comically whiffs on his attempt to gain control while Palm also barely connects.

this is after two near-miss midair collisions over the past 2 days, one a JetBlue and the other a private jet, both out of Curacao.

"in or around Venezuela" appears to be about a 2500 mile radius, once you include all the murders in the Pacific

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Every few years there's a bunch of "pivot to video" discourse about how creatives should all start making videos instead of doing text-based work. And every few years we discover again that the supposed "popularity" of video is based on fake audience numbers created by the video platforms.

at my one week check up today, and all the staff was very interested in whether or not I had amnesia effects. "we were wondering how that would work, you were very talkative, but also really compliant" haha

Two more weeks and the stitches should come out!
