It’s not the average at all. People select the training data, people also put their fingers on the models with reinforcement.

They’re still working on the road improvements. Guessing they close a lane during the day while working.

Beginning February 2, 2026 (weather permitting), the City of Spring Valley Village will begin restriping Bingle Road from Westview Drive to West Memorial Park Drive.

This project will implement a three-lane roadway with a center turn lane and bike lanes, based on a traffic study completed for Spring Valley Village and approved by City Council.

Motorists should expect intermittent delays during striping operations.

Spring Valley Village are even calling it a road diet. I bet Whitmire is trying to find a way to annex Spring Valley to stop it. 🀣🀣🀣

New bike lane on Bingle between Westview and Winningham surprised me. City of Spring Valley Village doing what Houston can’t…

I’m gonna have to learn all the jargon for polymarket. I was thinking hedge against uncertainties like weather or delays. I didn’t look at the article but it would be interesting to know the contract they lost $300. Could have been a large payout.

Weird that Bloomberg doesn’t know about hedging.

British regional dialects can be tricky. Pretty sure β€œred Chinese clay” is a euphemism for blood.

It costs money to bleach the blood out.

Guys, I found it. The best/worst campaign video ever made.

Gork - make a me a campaign video that has 1990s animated gifs, AI statues moving, apocalyptic yet patriotic music, and only Times New Roman font.

This waymo currently stopped behind a trailer thinks the trailer is a moving vehicle.

I feel like the piece would have benefitted by a mention of the crazy local right-wingers following her around.

This is the new species of Spinosaurus Dr. Paul Sereno mentioned at his lecture in Houston a couple of years ago!

The new Spinosaurus mirabilis was found in Niger, Africa, much further south than Spinosaurus aegyptiacus found in (you guessed it) Egypt!
