The second season of Battlebots Champions (for the Golden Bolt) begins next Thursday Oct 5 on Discovery and streaming on Max! Are there any teams that you're more excited to see or bullish on?

I'm really curious on how the alternate teams perform in Champions. Many of them are brand new but by this point, they should have had enough test runs in the box to get up to gear. I'm hoping we have one or two breakouts from the alt pool that goes deep.

Interesting that they're bumping up the medals you win in Conquest mode for the 'smaller' conquest missions. What do you think?

US Mobile has updated their plans so there are really only two tiers

• Unlimited Plans from $25-50/month
• Pooled Data Plans

Both are now tax inclusive (about time), have higher throttling speeds when you hit your cap, and appear to have the same cut off point before throttling happens on their VZN and TMO networks.

But they’re arguably a bit more expensive too now, especially if you used to be on a not unlimited plan. What do you think?

Virtual 8 speed transmission, 478 kW (which is 641 horsepower) engine, and other enhancements to make the car feel sporty are in tow. What do you think?

Bob Iger will be staying until 2026, which is two years longer than planned, so Disney has more time to find the right CEO to replace him? What do you think? Is this a good idea or do you think this means Iger is staying forever?

If this title is you or someone you know: If NJ, the DDD, or the CCW Waiting List calls you and asks if the client with intellectual disabilities would like to be placed in a group home, that means (1) you’re at the top of the list and (2) do NOT say No.

Saying No means you’ll be removed from the list. It is your right to use the CCW for increased funds to take care of said individual in the residence of their choosing – not just traditional group homes. So you can say: “Not a group home, but, I’d like to use the CCW in other ways, such as in house supports and services”.

Insane amounts of information for anyone reading this wondering what’s going on

• If you or someone you know has an intellectual disability that (1) began before the age of 21 (which isn’t the same as diagnosed before the age of 21 – just that you got it before 21 and any sane doctor would conclude yeah you must have got it) and (2) reside in New Jersey, you qualify for services from the NJ Dept. of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) once you are age 21 or higher.
• Many folks in DDD get services via the ‘Support Program’. This is a program where the state gives you a modest budget and you can use it for services that meet your need. This can be at-home supports, day programs, career training, college mentoring support, health programs, etc.
• A smaller amount of folks get DDD funding via the ‘Community Care Waiver’ (CCW) program. This is similar to the Supports Program, but has substantially more money in the budget. It’s higher so it can cover Institutional Care or Group Homes, but it’s not required to be used in that way. You could use the funding for more of those at-home or community supports.
• The CCW has many waiting lists but the only waiting list that moves is the priority waiting list, triggered under certain conditions, usually about the parents’ health and age. Despite being the only waiting list that moves, it still moves very slowly. So it’s important to get on the waiting list as soon as you can and not screw things up. Hence why this situation is all sorts of jacked up that the CCW would be mischaracterized as being “Group Home” only and using that question to disqualify status once someone made it to the top of the waiting list.

Simple Mobile led the way in sales in the past quarter. Following behind them is Ultra/Mint Mobile. H2O wireless has the fastest growth.

Important to note: This survey only appears to survey actual independent dealers. So for example, US Mobile which only sells directly to consumers on their website, wouldn’t be eligible for this survey.

So take it with a grain of salt but, are you surprised or does this check out with you?

The final project will likely cost $17 billion and the federal grant is for $6.88 billion. NY and NJ will equally split the costs and overruns unlike the last attempt to build the tunnel.

Do you think this is the one? Will it finally happen this time?

Practically exactly what it sounds like. Raid a giant cage, retrieve prizes, run back out. Do you think it’ll work or is it going to flop?

For me I think it would be the Burlington County Mall. I remembered going there once as a kid. A decade later, I saw a picture of how abandoned it was, and that led me down a rabbit hole into seeing how other malls are doing.

How did you begin?

The article I didn’t even know I needed. Do you have any favorites that didn’t make the cut?

Hyundai is adding wireless CarPlay to all new cars, including cars with built in navigation which historically only had wired CarPlay.

Can't tell if this is a good or bad thing. American Express certainly is more well known for superior customer service, but they also seem to be less accepted at more retailers. Curious to see what comes out of this.

As a PSA, remember that the API changes don't only impact third party apps & accessibility tools, but also your ability to bulk delete or modify your Reddit history. If you intend to delete or modify your previous Reddit posts, be sure to run a tool like Power Delete Suite today before the shut down.

Also remember that as Subreddits went from private to public, there may have been posts and comments you attempted to delete but couldn't until they went public again. So if you ran these tools, you might want to run it again to make sure you got everything.

If you want non stop Chill Chums conversations (and the occasional Jordan or remote scene from the podcast), I’ve created and am actively updating this YouTube playlist to have it all. Hope you enjoy!
