Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

The skateboarding section in T&C is so much fun. It's a shame there's not much to it. Though I didn't grind the rails or jump the pit. Room to improve! Since Town & Country is a clothing brand, this sits next to M.C. Kids and Yo Noid! as a favorite NES licensed game. #RetroGaming

Rome won on planning and engineering. Effectively on hyper charging problem solving. Efficient engineering in city design, conquest, architecture, society, water planning, roads, and on and on.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

I am trying to make a list of the best beat 'em up and fighting games of the 80s and 90s - would love your input on which games deserve a mention. Four arcade games that helped define the beat 'em up and fighting genres in the late 80s/early 90s were: 🐉 Double Dragon II: The Revenge, 1988 👊 Final Fight, 1989 🪓 Golden Axe, 1989 🥋 Street Fighter II, 1991 Which would you add to this list of legends?

@JoeBerner @vaelor0 But do we call it wet because it's actually wet or because we perceive it as wet? Like with colors, most stuff "isn't" really a color but rather the perception humans have on that color, therefore we describe stuff based on how WE feel it

@rBillSimmonsPod & the MNF booth was a disaster. Like why were Aikman and Buck fawning all over him. He had no idea what he was doing, or what to do. Just a boring disaster. Its not like he is funny, and not an analytic x and o's. Like who keeps greenlighting this bs.

@rBillSimmonsPod The late night show had me in disbelief at how bad it was! He had charles barkley, little dickey, and Baldinger. All people I like a lot individual. It was dry, slow, boring, not funny, awful. He was wearing Timbs! Bananas at how his ascent is becoming a nightmare.

@rBillSimmonsPod For a few years now i've been saying J Kelce is Icarus & about to fly too close to the sun with all his (over) exposure. It's all too much at this point, and I Am huge Birds fan. Hopefully this speeds up the process and knocks him down a peg.
