Comment Re:So make sure you use your challenges (Score 1) 22

So teams that don't use their challenges, are penalized compared to teams that do use them. Of course, the other side of that coin is, if they use their two challenges too soon, they might wish they hadn't.

Some questionable calls are more important than others. Some would be so important that even a small chance of success would make it worth challenging. Others would need to be nearly certain to succeed to make it a good decision. There's a lot of luck involved in which situations occur.

Comment Re:Credit scores are not what you think they are (Score 1) 111

Credit scores don't reflect how well you are doing. Their purpose is to tell lenders how well they can milk you. It's an indicator of how exploitable you are and many people out there completely miss this fact.

My credit score is well over 800 and I don't see how I'm exploitable. I haven't paid any CC fees or interest in decades, and have no debt anywhere else. But maybe I'm missing something obvious. Can you explain a bit? (serious question).

Comment Re:Everything About AI is Harmful (Score 2) 72

I have yet to see AI do anything actually useful, that couldn't be done with existing tools.

I take it you're not a developer. Used properly it's a huge time-saver. It does a lot of the grunt work while I do the thinking and planning and reviewing. I've been programming since 1980. After 44 years without it and 1 with it I wouldn't want to go back.

To you, perhaps. To the other leftists and bots, they'll just be reflexively anti-Trump like they are on every other 80/20 issue.

You miss the point. Perhaps your bias is blinding you. You said simply if trump signs a treaty the left won't like it. You didn't care to qualify it - as long as Trump signs it you're on board. I'm guessing you've also said something like "Trump could cure cancer and the left would be against it." Cutting research funding is not a good way to cure cancer.

Trump is a cancer on America. Even if you agree with his policies you should still be against the man.
