  1. Have any IDF casualty numbers been posted?  I saw one early on when a IFV/tank got ambushed and the whole squad got eliminated and 2 more today during a rescue but not much else...  I assume that going into urban and tunnel environment has caused some significant casualty figures.

    Point 1.  There is only time to practice a competition routine. Getting hundreds of kids in sync for a quality performance takes a crazy amount of time.    The competitions are fun and give the kids a sense of accomplishment.   

    Point 2.  All the stuff you mention helps more kids participate, supports the band to be innovative and stand out at competitions, and segways into other band activities like Jazz band.  
     

    Point 3.  Fuck people who don't like band. 

    Per Point 1- It’s frigging torture seeing/hearing the SAME THREE SONGS/performances EVERY FRIGGING WEEK! (And don’t get me started on the cheerleaders who don’t actually do any cheers related to the actual football game…)

  3. What are his current bonuses?  I thought I saw he got 100K for making it to the B12 Championship game, missed 50K for not getting B12 coach of the year. How much for the B12 game win and how much for making the CFP? How much for the other milestones like winning the CFP?

    This is incorrect. I am a YTTV subscriber and was not able to access ESPN+ content. You only have access to ESPN. You have to subscribe to ESPN+ to get that content. 

    I am a YTTV subscriber and have access to ESPN+.  I created an account on ESPN but don't pay for an additional subscription and just use my YTTV creds when prompted by ESPN+...

    It's that time of year again. Kroger has rib roast for $7.99/lb this week and Brookshires has them for $5.99/lb

    I think it’s actually 3.99 with the digital coupon.  Only allows one purchase at this price (and must spend 25$) but I usually get 2-3 for the freezer by getting new Kroger cards…

    A small minority of the Corps members are in ROTC. Not just Army, but Navy and Air Force as well.

    My aggy nephew was in the Corpse and just graduated in the spring - he "signed his papers" his sophomore year with the Army and got money from them and a few weeks of Army training during the next 3 years and is actually in whatever they call officer training basic right now.  We attended his graduation and there were probably 200 others graduating that were headed off to the various military branches.  (Not sure how many were actually in the Corpse and he said it was a smallish % (20%?) of those in the Corpse that actually joined the military.)

  7. My (lack of deer) hog lease is just a few miles directly north of it. Makes decision to get off of it this year seem smarter now...  But plans to go out this weekend to start pulling stuff apart in the cooler weather may now wait until after a few rain showers...

    Waze started downhill when Google bought it. Or maybe traffic just got worse. But I swear Google has consciously avoided doing anything to it that would improve or distinguish Waze from their own shit-tastic Google Maps.

    Wake makes it easier to see police reports and I haven’t used a radar detector in years. Apple Maps allows for reporting radar locations but it’s not as easy and thus the amount of people reporting locations may not be as large as I think Waze is still being used by a large set of people and the pool of reports is larger in Waze.  Not willing to risk it using Apple Maps on road trips…

    I wonder how soon before colleges start using AI to filter / screen applications and essays 

    I wonder what happens to kids actually using AI for their essays.  My kid told me today he had a friend at school that used ChatGBT to write his essay(s) "as a joke" but accidently submitted them instead of his own.  I'm assuming that he'll not only get caught and rejected from that school but I'm guessing it also gets around to other schools? (and no, it wasn't my kid that did this...)

    I’m curious what he asked for / did to get one girl to tap out and go call the police. I really hope those women were Exxon employees or contractors. 
     

    Maybe Pioneer employees/contractors to help close the deal? :)

  11. Note to self - visiting a SEC university on a home game weekend may not be the smartest move...  Rooms are impossible to find last minute, campus is packed and with restricted access/parking and it really highlights the "social" aspects of the school rather than the academic side...  That being said, visiting The Grove on gameday is an experience on it's own and I can't see how any red-blooded, testosterone-filled boy wouldn't walk away saying this is the place for me... (Sorry, no pics - phone battery was dead...)
