Headline I see: “Cowboys to retain Mike McCarthy”
Headline I see in my head: “Belichek says no to Cowboys.”
A man came up to him, a Marine, with tears in his eyes, who said, “Sir, I’ve never cried in my whole life until now, but I’ve never seen anyone with such good syphilis as you. You’re an inspiration to everyone I know to get syphilis. Thank you.”
Toward the end, when Pardo wasn’t feeling well, Darrell Hammond would fill in and do such a good impression, that it’s almost impossible to tell when it isn’t really Pardo. After Pardo’s death, Hammond took over the announcing duties full time, but uses his own voice. Everyone agreed that he shouldn’t continue the Pardo impression.
Buuuuuuuut the Kansas City/Miami game? Play on!
I was thinking it kinda did, but kinda didn’t, and I couldn’t put my finger on why. Someone in another post nailed it for me. Whoever made this used all of George’s stand up specials to train the AI on his voice and cadence, so George of course sounded young in his early work and old in the later ones. The AI mixed that together, so you get a voice that’s not quite his younger voice and not quite his older voice either. That made perfect sense to me why it sounds like George, but still a little off.
I’m going to just leave this here…. 🤣
7 hours, 34 minutes, and 3 laughs.
Y’know, I was a pretty big Carlin fan, I had a few of his albums and even saw him live in concert once. I listened to the whole thing while driving, and I thought this was okay. It’s obviously not George Carlin, but it sounded a lot like him, and I can imagine he would approve of many of the jokes. It wasn’t a laugh-a-minute, but I did get lost in it a couple of times and forget that it wasn’t really him, and I did laugh out loud a few times as well. (The joke about the best comedian for AI being Bill Cosby got me!)
Carlin’s comedy was very topical, which doesn’t always translate to today, so having new, up-to-date Carlin bits are actually cool. I can understand his daughter’s apprehension, but at least people are talking about her dad again, so I would think that’s a good thing.
Yeah, it’s understood that in the victory formation, the offense is going to take a knee. There’s no need for the defense to try to play hard and risk someone getting hurt. Greg Schiano was the coach of the Bucs in 2012/13, and he had his team rush the line on kneel downs. He got crucified for it, lost his job for it (among other reasons), and hasn’t been back in the league since. These guys’ health is their paycheck, and if the Saints are going to pull this kind of crap, someone is going to get hurt. Jimmy Graham is being unnecessarily cavalier about it.
Thanks for the offer, but I don’t think Kbin/mbin is for me. I signed up for a smaller mbin instance to give it a try. I realized that I would have to manually move all my communities over (which is too many to do), and that some of the ones I follow and are active in aren’t federated with mbin.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots part ways with BB (through trade, since I’m not sure they have it in them to fire him after all he’s done there), and bring in Vrabel. He’s a former Patriot after all.
I’d take him on the Falcons. He consistently spanked us in his hay days with the Panthers.
Yeah, I definitely understand, which is why I moved off of lemmy.world. But the other mbin instances are really small in terms of members, so that makes me nervous that they aren’t going to be around long term. I get it, there’s no guarantee with any instance, but one that has a miniscule number of users makes me gun shy.
Okay, I’ll give it a few and try again.
Gotcha. I’m not a huge fan of PWAs when it comes to Lemmy/kbin/mbin, but I’m willing to give it a try.
Yes, sorry, I didn’t realize that when I replied. Unfortunately I’m on iOS, and Interstellar is only for Android/Linux right now.
I just tried signing up at fedia.io, and I got the response “429 Too Many Requests”. It doesn’t inspire confidence that I can’t sign up for the largest and most popular (and represented in the screenshot above) instance.
Could you be more specific about which ones? I tried to log in to fedia.io in Voyager, and it wouldn’t connect.
Read all about it in this month’s issue of DUH.
