The CEO can play golf better than an LLM
Computers can play golf better than a human, assuming you give them capable hardware to swing the club.
Fair
I tried to sanity-test the math here running the same calculations on a 700 kg horse, of which around 50% mass is muscle.
700 kg x 50% = 350 kg
Low:
350 kg x 100 W/kg = 35,000 W
35,000 W / 746 ≈ 47 hp
High:
350 kg x 200 W/kg = 70,000 W
70,000 W / 746 ≈ 94 hp
Despite what the term “horsepower” would seem to suggest, a horse can actually output more than one horsepower. Estimates put peak output of a horse around 12-15 hp. By those numbers, even the low end estimate above is around 3-4x too high. We’re gonna need more dogs.
As a Floridian, I have to use a VPN for that.
11·3 months agoI was just thinking about this while watching Solar Opposites the other day. A part of me remembered that Roiland was the VA in season 1, but Korvo’s been British so long now that it’s the default when I think of the character. I can’t even visualize Roiland’s voice for the character anymore.
51·3 months agoAnd it might be the only game where I have ever enjoyed proximity chat
Did we play the same Battlebit? I don’t remember much positivity coming out of proximity voice chat. Every match started with a flood of VOIP spam of screaming and loud, shitty music. It seems without fail, I’d spend the first 15 seconds of every match muting everyone that appeared in comms. At least the devs made that super easy.
Battlebit filled the hole I needed it to while I avoided BF2042; quite fun, but the population died off and it started feeling stale.
I might look into the update when it hits, but with a worth-playing new-release Battlefield, I’ll probably just stick to Battlefield.
In high school I got an esophageal ulcer from an acne medication pill that got stuck. Do not recommend.

As someone else stated, it’s Kari Byron of Mythbusters fame. Found this on her official Facebook page via Google image search for “Kari Byron.”
Look into microphone jammers
We have a one-car garage and two cars. I have a table saw, therefore we have a no-car garage.
6·5 months agoCould be a gasoline/jet fuel powered drone, but still not energetic explosions.
As a result of the explosion, windows were broken in some houses but nobody was injured, PAP reported.
Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz later said the object was most likely a drone, adding that an analysis was underway to determine whether it was a military or smuggling one, PAP reported.
While I’m not an explosions expert, I would wager that a non-military drone likely wouldn’t be carrying anything that explodes energetically enough to break windows. I suspect only an explosives-armed drone would do that.
While it did use the greater-than symbol, it was arranged unconventionally. The way it’s written is “500 is greater than steps per day,” meaning don’t walk too much, which fits with the rest of the author’s theme.
CoJack (now deceased): CoJack Kitty, Bitch, Bitch-ass Cat, CoJack Bitch-ass Kitty, and Meowsellus Wallace ('cause he looked like a bitch)
Gouda: GobbleGouda (because for a while he took to making a garbled meow that sounded a bit like a turkey gobble), Fatass (he’s 21 pounds), Gouder, Puddle (because he melts into a fluffy blob when he loafs)
Romano: 'Mano, hesagoodboy
George: Geeeooorge (in a shrill voice because it weirds him out), Potato (because he’s a bit on the roly-poly side and also seems to have the mental capacity of a potato)
Meeka: mostly just Meeka, but sometimes Precious Kitty. She didn’t really used to be vocal until we found her root ailment was stomatitis and we had all her teeth removed. Now she’s a lot happier and yells at us when we sing-song her name at her.
