        Something occurred to me. This season when teams call up a prospect from the alternate site, no one but the club officials know how he has been doing. You can call up a guy who has been shoving, and all the fans know to do is look at how he did last year or maybe in spring training. It's not like in previous years where if a pitcher was killing it at Triple-A, the fans would be clamoring for a promotion.

            My new favorite click-bait ad tagline that I keep seeing:

            Even Non-Gamers Are Obsessed With This RPG Game (It's Worth Installing!)

            I really feel like they let up at the end there.

                If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                    Because there comes a time, out on the weekend, where try as you may, southern man, you're on the losing end despite your helpless heart of gold.

                      22 hours left on this kickstarter, might be interesting to some here.
                      It's ai visual hardware - easy to use person, object, text, etc recognition that can be integrated with other hardware.
                      First project I want to do with one is to send me photos of animals crossing the creek behind our house.

                      They were looking for $20k, and it's passed $1m.

                        for jen's birthday she wanted a Ring doorbell... I've already had to run around the neighborhood once to make sure people were handing out flyers and not checking people's doorknobs to try to find unlocked homes. The last thing I need is to show her what's going on in the backyard on a daily basis.

                          Given Amazon's lack of privacy rights, I'd hard pass on that product. You might also want to read this:

                          The company once offered a map, now withdrawn, that allowed police to zoom in to see the specific location of Ring customers.

                            I like my Ring. Sunday a salesman came to the door while I was out of town and I answered it through ring and let them know I'm not interested. They had no clue that I wasn't home. This happens often. I understand the surveillance concerns, but there's tradeoffs for everything and that's a risk I'm willing to take. We all take similar risks any time we are in public, and this points out towards the street, so it's basically public. I do understand how some could consider it a significant invasion of privacy for sure, and in that case it isn't for them but it's not an issue for me personally.
