Barnlesbee Portugrazb III

Invention you want to see in real life?

I'll go first. Reverse bobbleheads... the heads stay still and its the bodies that bobble!

Dan Szymborski

holodeck!

Darin Ruf House

Dan would not have a walk up song. He would run to the plate, like a little Charlie Hustle.

Dan Szymborski

1:31

I didn't like running even when I was younger, mostly in shape and played sports!

I'd be more of a Billy Saunter than a Charlie Hustle

Darin Ruf House

Sorry! Methods of Rationality is a HP novel originally written as fan fiction by Eliezer Yudkowsky. Premise is everything is the same except Harry was raised by a rationalist and enters Hogwarts with a grasp of the scientific method. He proceeds to attempt to understand magic and things proceed. Awesomely. I was subversively attempting to get you to comment on AI issues.

Oh, Ohtani time machine proof. This is him arriving to sign his contract with the Angels.

Do you wear hats? You could pull off a Greek Fisherman's hat or maybe Rerun's beret from What's Happening.

Dan Szymborski

1:33

occasionally I'll wear a trilby

1:34

I have a paddy cap but I've kind of gotten out of habit of wearing it

Darin Ruf House

Let's say the O's remain a step under .500 until they sell at the deadline. What does the regular infield look like at the end of the year?

Dan Szymborski

1:35

I really want to see a Mountcastle-Westburg-Henderson-Mayo infield at some point!

Darin Ruf House

1:35

Chili! No one has mentioned chili! (You don't want to erode your brand)

Mike

1:35

Holodeck would be the greatest thing ever.

Adgraphs

1:36

Why does this site publish so few articles? None at all on Saturdays?

Dan Szymborski

1:36

We do 4-6 a day!

We try to avoid "shovelware" pieces.

And everyone has weekends off except in emergencies

1:37

We don't flood with dozens of articles like some websites because everyone gets paid. There's nobody working for exposure.

Guest

1:37

adgraphs is a troll. he's asked that in chats before.

Dan Szymborski

1:38

Oh, I thought it was a serious question.

The 6ix

1:38

What constitutes an emergency?

Dan Szymborski

1:38

Like a HUGE trade or injury or some other news stuff

And, of course, Laurila's Sunday notes

Insert Witty Name Here

1:39

What’s the best dad joke you got?

Dan Szymborski

1:39

I only know childless loner jokes

And on THAT note, it's time for me to head out for another week.

Thanks for coming everyone!
