Alternately, see the Bundy ranch standoff. A lot of guns and implication of actually using them led to the government basically backing down.

Even in emergencies you don't leave before they have basic identification.

Printers are solved now, you just don't have one.

There's a really weird and large contingent of gamers that believe you can't criticize or have a valid opinion on a game unless you complete the game.

The video features a second person labeled Epstein with a sharpie hanging Epstein.

There's a lot of things going with sound, but in general sound1 + sound2 is louder. You may not always perceive that, and if one of them is significantly louder, it's not a significant difference. Active noise cancelling uses sound to make other sounds disappear, but this is just a trick, the pressure is still there (it's why prolonged use of active noise cancelling can be bad for you).

When it comes to decibels, dB, it's a logarithmic unit so adding them isn't straightforward. You need to do logarithmic addition, so 5dB + 5dB = 8dB, and 90dB + 90dB = 93dB, but 70dB + 90dB = 90dB.

This community isn't well named. The prevailing opinion tends to be men are a problem until proven otherwise. It's not about addressing men's issues, unless those issues are how they can stop inconveniencing women.

A lot of this depends on perspective. Norman knights existed because France surrendered the territory to the Vikings, claiming them as a French success is a bit of a stretch. The effects on the English from William the conqueror, would be as much or more a viking win than a French one.

France winning the 100 years war just means after 100 years they finally repelled an English invasion. Napoleon's empire was destroyed before his own death. WWI featured several massive failures of the French military that extended the war.

To be fair that was the prevailing mindset for centuries.

You can call it bait and be dismissive, but it's a real problem for Democrats. It's not all exactly the same, but this is consistent with why Republicans made gains with unions, White men, and Latinos.

Not nearly to the same degree, and most colleges have no problem kicking out domestic cheaters.

Harvard is private, there aren't out of state fees. They do pay significantly more than American students, which is why universities are fine with ignoring the rampant cheating from foreign students.

 

Old time YouTube with old time memes

 

Pre YouTube, but still a great classic.

 

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Not a huge surprise.

 

Play for free until Feb 12.

 

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

 

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
