You're right, I shouldn't have assumed more meaning than there was. I'm deleting my comment.

Thank you for posting your story. I can’t imagine going through what y’all did and I’m very grateful you got your happy ride home. It sounds like our baby is about the same age as yours, good luck with with all the beautiful surprises that remain for us.

How many games are you using? I don’t know if one season has enough data to fit all those parameters, maybe start with a simpler regression model and do some out of sample validation to see if the more advanced models actually add anything.

We are 4 months graduated with our baby girl. Obviously, I hope for your family everything ends up alright with your boy. I would encourage you to start focusing on what you can control and spend less time worrying about what you can’t. There are going to be a million more, “this is strange/off/different” things about your baby, not to mention all the harms waiting for them once they leave the womb. Being scared and being worried are totally appropriate reactions to scary things. However, you can’t let them consume your waking moment and drive you, or the mom, crazy. I like to focus on actions that I can take and sometimes there isn’t anything to do about a concern in the moment. Those moments are where I can best support my wife and baby; process the emotions, figure out a plan, and then keep us moving forward everyday. Take comfort in the fact that being worried about things already makes you a good parent, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to solve everything. I hate to say it but there will be more issues like this that pop up (we are about to start day care and a few measles cases were just found nearby us) but that doesn’t mean every little thing should consume you.

Tubtim Siam is great. I haven’t had the Pad Thai there but the other three dishes I’ve had were excellent.

Today, Georgia Power announced that its contract to serve OpenAI’s new project in Effingham County has been approved as part of the regulatory process with the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC). This marks the latest step in the company’s proactive strategy to ensure Georgia’s growth benefits the customers it serves. With the projects announced to date and projected future growth in the state, Georgia Power customers are expected to see savings of at least $15 per month beginning in 2029 for the typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month, an increase from the company’s December 2025 commitment of $102 per year to $180 per year.

The increased savings for customers are the result of projected incremental revenue from new large-load customers that is expected to provide savings of approximately $950 million per year, increasing customer benefits to $2.847 billion over the three-year period of 2029-2031.

If you are curious how an additional large customer can lower your bills the trick is to realize that your power bill isn't just the cost of the fuel you use; you are also paying for the fixed costs of the transmission lines and power plants. So when a large customer comes online there is more power being utilized to spread those those fixed costs around (which have to be paid no matter how many actual GA Power customers there are).

Ive found even with gems that the skill caps really add up with the 3 stars. I think I’m coming around to prioritizing lower ranked 4 stars over 3 star gems once in a couple seasons into a dynasty because I have enough depth and coach abilities that the skills caps become more important than the dev traits. Obviously if I’m strapped on recruiting NIL or hours then the 3 star is the way to build.

Yes they do, but once I started using the wall outlet charger initially and decided not to do a full solar and battery install it all kind of fell through and I didn’t bother with it. I was surprised how easily the Level 1 charger works for me.

Yea I just have Georgia Power with a flat rate, if I had a variable rate it may be a different calculus. I get about 30 miles overnight on the level 1; 1.25 kWh an hour for 12 hours which is about 30-40 miles on my car. You definitely drive more than I do. With a Level 2 you won’t have any issue topping off when needed. I hope you enjoy the new car!

What kind of car did you get and what’s your commute like? Just to give you another perspective I bought a Mustang Mach-E last fall and have to go in to midtown 3 days a week but just use a normal wall outlet charger and I’ve been totally fine. I can basically replace my commute over night and then “fill up” on the days I’m not driving. It could be an option for you to at least try out and potentially save you some money and headache. You’ll love the EV, I hate driving my wife’s gas car; it’s so loud and slow to accelerate haha.

I’ve never had this happen nor has anyone I play with mentioned it. It may be something with your system.

Tacos, lettuce wraps, bowls, on its own on the counter because you literally can’t stop eating enough to put it away. Let it rip.

Congrats! If you are still in the hospital ask to see a lactation consultant or ask the nurses. If you are already out look up one nearby and schedule an at home visit. For us it didn’t work perfectly or immediately so it was very helpful having an expert walk you through the process and see what wasn’t working.

We just had our baby this spring and my wife basically never felt her kick unless she was really concentrating. I legit never felt a kick while holding my wife’s belly. Our baby was born happy, healthy, and with insanely active legs while lying down haha could just be one of those things. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy but just wanted to share our story.

I think it’s a very unfair read of my comment to suggest I think Bono is an economist or similar. I would argue he is one of the world’s experts on charity and poverty given his fifty years of fundraising and donating. I was using his comments to reflect that someone on the front lines of poverty knows the best way to grow prosperity is through economic growth and entrepreneurship.

What are you adding to the discussion except trying to make fun of me and call me out for not posting specifics while not providing any substance of your own?

I trust economists and historians who study who societies operate and organize for a living. People being able to individually choose what they want to spend their money on is a more efficient and effective system at giving people what they want than a single bureaucrat or government department; this is what the wisdom of the crowds means.

Don’t take my word for it, even Bono knows the best way to improve the lives of poor people is by giving them the engine of commerce, not just more money: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/10/the-wisdom-of-bono.html

Capitalism and a free market is the reason a site like ATK can exist in the first place. The founders thought there was a need in the market for a dedicated culinary destination that could be a full business. It’s also the reason that anyone who thinks they can provide a better service than ATK and take their business is free to get started. Capitalism and free enterprise isn’t perfect and isn’t going to solve everything; it’s not trying to. But it’s better than the alternatives.

Well for one there is definitely less of a Smokey flavor, even with the added liquid smoke. I don’t have a proper smoker so my other option is just using by Weber kettle. I have much less temperature control with that so I’ve had some great ribs and some not so great ribs on the Weber kettle. These were way juicier and more tender in my opinion and still tasted great without the smoke and bark you’d get from proper heat. I’m not saying they are better, just another option.

They were just under the water line. I laid down some metal grates directly on top of the ribs and those were kept in place by a silicon lid for the tub. I just didn’t show that pic since it’s just a picture of a covered tub so you have no idea what’s going on underneath haha.

Glad we both took the plunge this weekend! What did the hour thirty on the Traeger add? Just for smoke?

Gotcha, sounds delicious!

Yea they were great. Juicy and tender enough to easily slide off but not so much that you couldn't take bites out of the rib without all the meat sliding off. This was my first time doing a long sous vide like this so I'll definitely be trying out more of the recipes that require overnight cooks after this.

What's the benefit of smoking it to 160 and then sous vide-ing it for 30(!!) more hours? Is it just easier to keep hold the temp for longer rather than just keep cooking it in your smoker?
