I made a huge mistake thinking that manual technical jobs such as electician, appliance technician etc. wd be spared by AI.
Had pbs w/: HVAC, security system, outdoor lighting, pool programming etc. & was forced to solved them w/AI because technicians are slow at showing up.

So let me get this straight
FanDuel hired Bryce Harper to make a thank you video for a customer to keep him addicted to gambling, and it worked, and the guy lost $2 million, had his house repossessed, and had to *literally* be talked off a ledge?
We MUST get gambling out of MLB
Saagar Enjeti@esaagar
Phillies star Bryce Harper recorded a personal video at the request of a FanDuel VIP host per @phillysport The client ended up losing 2 million dollars, his house, and police had to stop him from committing suicide The MLB and Harper have nothing to say

Happy birthday to This Man, Vinny Castilla
It's America's birthday, but also that of Mexico's greatest power hitter, who has by far the most hits (1884), doubles (349), homers (320), and RBI (1105) of any big leaguer born in Mexico.
He hit 40+ homers in 3 consecutive seasons!
Not Gaetti@notgaetti
Not enough people talk about Vinny Castilla • 320 HR, 1105 RBI, 3249 TB, 16 seasons • 2x AS, 3x Silver Slugger, MVP votes 4x • .294/.340/.530 in 9 years with COL • .350/.409/.617 in the postseason • .319 BA, 46 HR, 144 RBI in 1998 • Reached 300 TB 4x, 40 HR 3x • Was an inaugural Rockie in 1993 • Moved Chipper Jones to left field • The greatest player born on July 4 • The greatest Mexican power hitter • A "Bay Bomber" with the Devil Rays • A "Blake Street Bomber" with the Rockies • If you extrapolate his postseason numbers (17 games, 66 PA) to a 162-game season, Postseason Castilla would bat .350 with 200 H, 48 HR, 114 RBI • 1 of 10 third basemen in MLB history (min. 90% of games at 3B) to have at least 300 HR and 30 Rfield, a list that includes many Hall of Famers and likely Hall of Famers

Most Americans DON'T EVEN KNOW this. Japan will scream it forever:
During Operation Tomodachi,
YOUR sailors gave up their OWN hot showers.
Their OWN meals. Their OWN beds.
On THEIR OWN ships.
So that freezing Japanese strangers
could feel warm water and eat hot food.
WHO DOES THAT?!
America does. THAT'S who you are at your best.
And 125 million Japanese saw it with our own eyes.
HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY!!! 🇺🇸🔥 We love you.

March 11, 2011.
The whole world grabbed their people and RAN from Japan.
Airports jammed. Embassies emptied. Goodbye.
And then—through the black waves—
America came CHARGING IN.
24,000 soldiers. Toward the radiation.
Toward the ruins. Toward US.
You named it "Operation Tomodachi."
FRIEND.
I'm crying writing this. 15 years later. Still.
HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!! 🇺🇸🔥🇯🇵
Japan never forgets. NEVER.

@notgaetti Dude stop posting about your family. No one wants to hear your wholesome experience and endearing love for your wife and daughter. Healthy commitment to the future generations is so passé. Also, it’s ok to sleep next to your baby. She will rest better

My wife left for work around 7am on Friday and got home around 10am on Saturday. She got a total of 2 hours of sleep in the on-call room because there was a normal number of kiddo-patients there but not that many doctors working over the holiday.
Our infant daughter was on her best behavior during my first completely solo overnight. She can't talk yet, but she gave me the impression that if she could, she would have said "I know damn well this bottle of formula isn't The Real Thing from The Source, but I'll cooperate this time because you seem hapless and ill-prepared for a tantrum."
I told Dr. Mrs. NG that I would make her whatever she wanted to eat after she took a nap, and when she said "coffee, two frozen burritos, and half a piece of chocolate," my first instinct was PLEASE DON'T BE PREGNANT WE ARE ALREADY TOO TIRED FOR THIS.
Not Gaetti@notgaetti
Not baseball, but shoutout to my wife Dr. Mrs. NotGaetti, who, while many of us are enjoying a day off, is working a 24-hour shift at the hospital taking care of all the kiddos who are stuck there over the holiday weekend. I wish no kid would ever have to be hospitalized, but at least there are doctors like her that are great with children, deeply passionate about what they do, and have the ultimate helper mindset. I always try to remind our little one that she's strong and healthy, but not everyone is so lucky, and we sometimes need to share mom with other kids that need her too.

@VinceIovin43311 @Pogojar @20Hojo They are overtrained and worse athletes. The weight training aspect of baseball is shortening careers and evidence is there

A lot of the animosity towards “older” coaches stems from the “growth” vs “closed” mindset…it’s right out the elite classroom of today’s schools…they actually believe that experienced former coaches ONLY teach what they did…if that ever really takes place those coaches would never ever be successful…ask yourself do you want a surgeon of 20 years working on you or one that just graduated med school? Please…

The Biggest Lie in Baseball Today The biggest lie in baseball today isn’t that pitchers throw harder. It’s that people who’ve never played the game at the highest level think they know more than the people who actually did. I’ve got to laugh at the fucking know-it-alls on here. Some of us spent 14–15 years in the big leagues. We played 162 games a year. We stood in against 85 mph, 100 mph, 101, 102. We didn’t read about it. We lived it. Then you’ve got people who never played at that level, never stood in the box against elite velocity, never spent a day in a professional clubhouse, telling the people who actually did that they’re wrong. That’s fucking hilarious. Now we’ve got keyboard gurus and pitching-school salesmen acting like they unlocked some secret that’s never existed before. Give me a fucking break. Hard throwers have always existed. Triple-digit arms have always existed. Filthy breaking balls have always existed. What changed was the technology used to measure and report pitches—not the fact that freak athletes have been blowing baseballs by hitters for decades. And here’s what these geniuses never talk about… Modern hitting instruction has become so obsessed with lifting the ball and launch angle that we’ve created worse hitters. When your swing is built to hit underneath the baseball instead of driving through it, you’re going to struggle more against elite velocity. Pitchers look more dominant in part because the hitters have gotten worse. But that doesn’t fit the narrative. Instead, they pretend pitching schools reinvented the human arm. The funniest part is the absolute confidence. They read numbers off a screen and think they’re qualified to lecture people who spent decades living this game at the highest level. Here’s a little advice: before you tell someone who’s actually been there what big league velocity looks like, make sure you’ve done more than watch YouTube clips and stare at TrackMan numbers. Until then, quit pretending you’re the smartest guy in the room. You’re not baseball people. You’re fucking dumbasses. #VandyOnTigers #VandyDandyReport #DetroitTigers #MLB #Baseball

@notgaetti Martin Prado was great in this role for awhile back in the day.
Dubon has been a lifesaver for the Braves this year.

I always loved utility players like Brock Holt, Ben Zobrist, and Tony Phillips. Guys that could plug in anywhere and play just about full time but never at the same position two days in a row.
Who’s the closest to that today? Tommy Edman is pretty versatile. Any other good ones?
Chuck McGill@chuckmcgill_vt
@notgaetti The @BrockStar4Lyf is STILL the only player in MLB history with a postseason cycle. He was such a good utility player for the Sox. Could play anywhere, and usually made a really good play. Plus he did (and still does) a lot of great work with @TheJimmyFund
