OT: 109th Obsequious Banter Thread: In the Driver's Seat

[Embiid]

I preferred the Thorndale and Exton Drive ins myself. Cars were bigger then and had huge rear seats.

I was too young to go to one with a lady friend...but do remember going a few times as a family. Last one I remember was in the Langhorne area (Bucks County) during the early 80's ...actually there were a couple.

Ha ha...that prompt was such a design fail but ChatGPT as part of a search engine will definitely take off and be more of an enhancement...hence Goog expediting their AI chat .....they know it is a game changer...good that opensource is pushing that monopoly. Gonna be an interesting ride..

It's gonna be a real game changer when you type in the search engine and before you even search the AI is smart enough to give you what you need. No more having to search for that Brazilian fart porn, the AI will know you want it when you want it.

Watching people come out of bars when you are sober is always entertaining...

Morrisville had one on Trenton rd ( popeye's strip mall), which becomes Bus rte 1 heading toward Langorne. On Business 1, there was one in Fairless.Hills (Land is still vacant), and another across from the Oxford Valley Mall, which is now the Target shopping center. Then there was one just south of the Turnpike, which showed porn for its last decade or so.

I wasn't aware of the porn one..lol. I do recall the one where the Target currently resides and then another further down Bus Route 1 heading towards Morrisville. Entrance had a wooded area around it. I remember passing by and seeing the screen for the Target one. I hope the porno one was in a discreet area....not sure people can mistake a bare ass for a full moon.....

Did it offer free windex to the patrons?

 

[swami24]

Umm. The screen faced Rte 1, but was down a slope and not visible from the road. It WAS right in sight line for the next door hotel. I remeber talking to someone who worked there, and they would take their breaks in empty rooms. Brazen guest would ask for a west facing room "so the sun didn't wake them early."

I may have told that story here before.

During Tuesday night’s game, Weatherford came out and scored a basket pretty quickly in the game to go up 2–0, but then Anadarko held onto the ball until halftime, per social media reports.

Anadarko’s players continued to pass the ball and didn’t even appear to want to take a shot, per Butler County Times-Gazette’s Charles Chaney.

Weatherford scored off of a steal with 2:40 left in the game to go up 4–0. Later in the quarter Anadarko would score its lone basket off of a missed layup by Weatherford to cut the lead to 4–2. The team would eventually shoot a long three-pointer at the buzzer in an attempt to steal the win, but it was no good.

(there is no shot clock in HS basketball there)

Coach should be fired

 

[Cody Webster]

Nothing like Disney annoucning 'Toy Story 5’ ‘Frozen 3’ and ‘Zootopia 2’ all while casually announcing the layoff of 7,000 employees.

No, there just will be a shot clock next year. 4 corners offense is what has brought the rule into every level.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hate when that happens.

I'm upset when I lose $.57. 57 mil is probably where I King tommen out the window.

Someone is fired

 

[PDX Flyer]

Someone is fired

Do they have people trading proprietary in house or the algorithm glitching on a buy order and having to cover as the stock ripped higher?

$57m is pocket change for them tho

My guess is that someone typed in/selected the wrong name and meant to do it on something else.

Apparently the company they shorted was trading at like .10 cents and then shot up to over $27 because of their action.

Of course it's also possible it was deliberate and someone was willing to get fired over manipulating the market because they made money off this 'mistake'.
