  1. It just struck me as interesting that the Lord would drop in to the tent of meeting, and act surprised by the actions of the Israelites before showering them with his wrath. As though an omnipotent being wouldn’t know exactly what they were going to do from the beginning. Or the fact that Moses would have to head in for consultations on what to do with legal/ethical situations as they arose as though an omnipotent being wouldn’t know what’s coming, and just go ahead and lay out the minutia before it became a problem. I think Genesis and the Flood is a very fast and loose retelling of “how we got to here” following what was probably a cataclysmic event like a comet strike or something. The story being familiar across continents and different societies kinda points to the s*** hitting the fan and a general global reset taking place where oral tradition was about all that people had left as civilization rebooted.
  2. Honestly, IMO not a real news site. Still rumors IMO. Two things: 1. I never said it was anything more than rumors. 2. There aren’t a lot of real news sites anymore.
  3. The funny thing is that, besides showing what a pain in the ass it was to atone for sin the Old Testament way, I always thought that Exodus/Leviticus portrayed a God something short of omnipotent.
  4. Link on another website. Here it is below: https://www.google.com/amp/s/theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/01/08/iran-refuses-to-hand-over-black-box-from-fatal-boeing-crash-near-tehran-nose-of-sam-missile-discovered-near-crash-site/amp/
  5. Allegedly SA-15 pieces have been found in the suburbs of Tehran. They probably shot it down.
  6. Well, they got 40 years added to their journey for being dicks too if memory serves. I’m a pretty simple creature. I’d probably go ahead and do what the deity living among me said. Thats rule one. Rule two involves what to do when trapped on a high rise and asked if you’re a god by an extra-dimensional being.
  7. The Jewish people were mouthing off to Moses and the Lord while God’s presence was visibly in their camp or or before them every day, and Moses’ face was still glowing from having conversed with the Almighty according to the Old Testament. I’m sure they were being real dicks to the average jackwagon let alone the God that was in their presence and sending plagues upon them or having the ground swallow them up for a ticket straight to Hell when they continually rebelled about their situation.
  8. And NM, like a stripper, is usually best viewed while under the influence alcohol in low light situations.
  9. Well, I mean, say what you will about slavery and the use of human pain and suffering to build societies, but it gets shit done. Also, with regard the stoning of women, maybe we should give it another chance. On the whole I think it’s a mountain/mole hill thing in this day. There are plenty of places and houses of worship that will allow/perform gay marriages. Generally, I think most Christians are in the “ I’m fine with it being legal, but don’t believe it jibes with our interpretation of the Bible” boat.
  10. I’d imagine that most of those openings are filled by now.
  11. Former = teach the position/ fundamentals Latter = empower players to use what they were taught above.
  12. They’re schemers and not teachers. Emmanuel Acho detailed it on one broadcast. Muschamp taught him how to be a linebacker, and then Diaz empowered him to be the linebacker that Muschamp taught him to be. But Diaz and Orlando skipped the step where they taught their charges to be the players they needed to be to succeed in their schemes. The elitiest coaches do both well. The really good ones do the former. The pretty good ones do the latter. And the terrible ones are named Warehime.
  13. He had a RB that couldn’t read a defense to save his soul playing QB and in the Heisman conversation.
  14. Reed Boyd
  15. Seems racist.
  16. That’s enough. Signed, The Whales
  17. Airbus lingo doing Airbus lingo things. The manuals are written in French and then translated by ESL speakers so they read a bit like stereo instructions at times. The start abort verbiage for a manual engine start is particularly terrible.
  18. The short answer is that it’s the airplane flying at a speed above the predicted Vapp to keep a minimum energy level on approach in windy conditions. A minimum ground speed if you will. The technical answer is that when in managed speed on approach ( ATHR on indicated by a magenta carrot on the speed tape) the aircraft’s speed will be consistently above the magenta carrot consistent with the wind conditions. Vapp being Vls (lowest selectable speed) + 5 knots or 1/3 of the gust factor not to exceed 15 knots. Whichever is greater. It does a good job of it too except for the 319 which often predicts the Vapp to be uncomfortably close to Vls. The wings don’t pop off if the plane dips below Vls or anything, but hilarity will ensue if you go below Alpha Prot (indicated by the red and amber striped tape below and the amber “hook” that represents Vls). Alpha prot is where angle of attack protections take over. Most guys manually increase Vapp in the 319 by 3-5 knots for this reason. The only other time you ever get close to going below Vls in the bus is usually on a 321 trying to slow down with the boards out.
  19. Is it possible we hired Yurcich because he makes Herman’s hair game look strong?
  20. Coach speak so as not to distract from the game today.
  21. Let’s be honest. Do any of them?
  22. Texas was being courteous trying to keep it quiet. Ryan Day knows nothing about it. Yucich is focused on the playoffs. Announcements after Clemson game to allow Bucks two weeks to focus on MNC if they win today. Herman consulted with Gundy about the hire. Ohio State fans hate Tom Herman and upholstered furniture.
  23. I didn’t argue otherwise. But, as you correctly noted, you have to win. And Tom has proven to be pretty middling at that. No one cares if the head man is an asshole as Lon as he’s our asshole and he delivers. Herman seems to struggle with both facets while still being an asshole. Oh, and I’ll throw the Dabo qualifier in for the nice guy finished last bit. As usual, he’s the general exception to the rule.

  25. Saban and Meyer buy themselves a lot of rope by actually being elite football coaches.
