Microsoft Copilot seems to not understand how goalposts work

Whadda got? I will throw out this submission to get us started:

I think it matters, I would say I care about it a bit. I try to minimize my car trips (unless the I don't feel like it), and I talk about giving up meat a lot (usually while eating a burger). So, I think I am doing my part. If I actually did half of the "good" things I think about doing, I...

I think the human-link to our current climate situation is pretty well established at this point. The historical CO2 levels from polar ice cores was the smoking gun that ended that debate. Yes, climate has never been static, it has always been changing for reasons both predictable (procession of...

I think a lot comes down to how they structure practice. For most positions, the reps are split somewhat evenly across the 2-deep, but I have heard for QBs the #1 gets a very disproportionate share of the reps. I distinctly remember being at the 2009 Iowa vs. NW game (the one where Stanzi got...

Just the general progression of technology. The original cars sucked, way worse than walking or horseback. But, with technological progression and building of the right infrastructure, we can now get in our cars in Iowa and drive to either coast in less than 2 days (good luck doing that on...

Secondarily, I agree nuclear is crucial, and if we hadn't demonized it 40 years ago, we would be in a lot better place now. I also think EVs are a part of the solution. If your car can only be powered by 1 thing (gas), that is not nearly as good as if it can be powered by many things (natural...

I used to think mostly along those lines. I have since been persuaded that while capitalism has allowed us to be exceptional in the ways you have pointed out, it cannot work for providing public goods, and unregulated seeking of profits has all sorts of horrible downsides (e.g. the awful water...

Those plays dragging guys and pushing piles all on his lonesome are new...he did not do those things in previous seasons. He has always had the breakaway speed, but you add in that ability to drive through contact, it is going to be fun to watch. We need Moulton or Patterson to get going as...

I posted it on here because as I was listening to Sapiens, Chapter 2, and the idea of imagined realities (e.g. Gods and religions, nations, LLCs, money), it made me think of you, for some reason. It seemed like an idea you would get a kick out of. I added the link to Guns, Germs, and Steel...

One old (Guns, Germs, and Steel) https://open.spotify.com/show/1ZcN4WcOLt5bUfHX4tscfC?si=171XiTlgQwa6qdramtXgiA One newer (Sapiens): https://open.spotify.com/show/5V1w9Aneai09yOCqdtSAPo?si=VtR8mzxjRKiGXZ2O5qpNFg Both available for free if you have Spotify premium. I listened to the first about...

Damn, that showing last weekend really seemed to kill the enthusiasm on this board. Not exactly a compelling opponent this week, but even so, such a small amount of participation. I am right there with you, my default setting is no longer excitement. They are going to have to show some stuff...

KF is so scared of anything that smells of a QB controversy, but if he is the leader of men he is always purported to be (and I think he is), he should be able to guide a team through some instability at QB.

There are certain things that can be blamed on rust: inconsistent mechanics, poor timing, poor decisions, etc. To me it seems that McNamara is physically incapable of making the plays he needs to make for this offense to be successful. I am no expert, and I am not at every practice, but I do...

We can all see the ceiling of this team with McNamara at QB. Heck, most of us saw it last week when Cade's stats looked good, but the eye-test was still lacking. Maybe Sullivan represents a higher risk, higher reward choice? I think all of us would accept that risk in the hope of avoiding the...

Play calling could definitely have been more creative and aggressive, but as it was, there were probably at least 3 plays where we had WRs running wide open down the field for what would have been TDs if we had a capable QB. Combine that with the inexplicable interception, and it feels like the...

Here is that floor-spacing 4 I asked for, impending FA Satou Sabally: https://www.si.com/onsi/womens-fastbreak/wnba/indiana-fever-urged-to-pair-top-wnba-free-agent-with-caitlin-clark-01j5xdsk1313 The author of the article states the Fever probably cannot sign both Sabally AND free agent...
