Are you currently using NavisWorks for clash detection? I can see Navis getting more AI driven.

As AI threatens white-collar work, more young Americans choose blue-collar careers

I have been having conversations with my children and friends about what AI means for their future and which jobs will be impacted the most and least by AI. My children are of the age where they will start choosing careers. I have a daughter that I was pushing toward paralegal a couple of years ago, since she had a mind for that type of work. She thankfully wasn't interested. I met a judge at a conference last month who told me that with AI, paralegals wouldn't be really needed anymore. Most of the research will be done with AI. He even said that he had AI produce a judgement for one of his cases, just to test it. Results were in line with what he had determined. I have a son in college and he hears other students using ChatGPT for their studies/papers. The instructors see this as inevitable. Education will suffer. I was talking to an associate last week regarding fire alarm design. He said that there is a CAD program update with AI coming out that will review your drawings and provide comments, typically what a reviewing engineer would do. I see the trades as being somewhat immune to AI. How will jobs such as marketing and finance do in the AI workplace? Other jobs? Thoughts?

And another solid piece on growth at UND....At Wake Up to UND, President Andrew Armacost tells attendees there's 'no better place to be' than UND It looks like UND is on a nice trajectory.

Nice piece on how UND got to where we are today...Record enrollment just part of the story

Overall some nice increases. Enrollment up nearly 4% at North Dakota public colleges, universities North Dakota University System fall 2025 enrollment Table with 5 columns and 12 rows.

Three years in a row with the same enrollment number? Interesting. NDSU Historical Fall Enrollment

I will never forget the dead badger swinging out of the rafters in front of the press box.

Win the next four games and much of this conversation dies. @gfhockey being the exception.

Losing face offs 23-12.

Petey23 seems to have nailed this. Someone posted a comment in the Star Tribune that the flag looks like the Jubaland and Puntland flags in Somalia. Can't say that I can argue against that... Flag of Jubaland Flag of Puntland

I wasn’t sure where to put this, so I started a new topic. I am watching the Minn/Mich State game which is being played at Mariucci and couldn’t help but notice the shadows of the players and locations where the light hits the ice. I pulled up the highlights from last nights UND game at the Ralph and see very little of the shadowing. It seems that the lighting is distributed better at the Ralph. One of those things you don’t notice is very good until you see it not so good somewhere else.

Thanks. I wasn’t trying to be lazy. I just figured someone already had the answer. So if there is to be a reorganization of the NCAA, how is hockey to be handled with only 9 P5 schools?

How many Division I hockey schools are in the P5?
