Permanent Daylight Saving Time means Lexington's sunrise from mid December through late January will be after 8:45 AM. The latest, 8:54 AM for a little over a week in early January. 🌅

What’s the value (aside from the obvious- clicks, likes, shares, etc.) of posting model data 200+ hours out? What service does this really provide? I am getting so burned out on the “I’m not saying this is gonna happen in a week and a half but look at THIS” approach.

Tom, experiment with your new hand tracking feature, move around on the green screen, we really want you to get comfortable with it.
OK, just one question...
How can I embarrass my teenagers with this thing?

It spreads via respiratory droplets. Wearing a mask is a simple way to stop transmission & protect those around you. Just do it.
Three months into the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are divided over wearing masks.

I served in the Navy with a guy from Gulfport MS who had never seen snow. First big snow we got in Hampton VA we decided to go do donuts in his Jeep in the mall parking lot. The retaining wall hidden in the snow drift had different ideas. I often think about that Jeep… 😬😂

I've come to the conclusion that at least 50% of my job as a Dad consists of eating leftovers no one else will touch, turning off lights, clearing shower drains and waiting in my truck to pick someone up to take them somewhere.
