    University of California - Scotia

    Their fans are complete assholes.  Didn't tell me "howdy".  Didn't show me around their campus.  Didn't drive me over an hour out of their way to my hotel after I ran out of gas because I was used to the fuel gauge location on my car and not the rental. Didn't buy me lunch or dinner. Didn't show up the next morning and drive me hours away to Los Angeles so I could fly out or offer to drive me back to Texas when I missed my flight.

    Just complete and utter assholes.

    I can see warning pilots and airlines, but why let the bad guys know?

    I don't think it's very realistic for him to keep it a secret from his own administration, the pentagon, etc. 

    Here's what I think happened - he wants to bomb or invade or both, and was talking to the military folks, and somebody told him that there are a lot of flights in and around Venezuela - flights up and down the continent, flights in and out of Colombia (that cross over Venezulea), plus you have Aruba and the Antilles right off the coast with lots of tourist flights every single day from Europe and the Americas. There's probably a healthy amount of air traffic in that part of the world.

    They probably told Trump they have to be careful about civilian flights if they start bombing or trying to move troops in and supporting them, and that if they issue a NOTAM Venezulea will be tipped off, and Trump being Trump, said "fuck it, you all are useless, I'll shut down their airspace and the surrounding areas and we won't have to worry about civilian aircraft" and then he goes on Truth Social and declares bankruptcy their airspace to be shut down.

    It’s not when we’re talking the future.

    do you not understand? My argument is we have to change it for the future until they expand the playoffs or account for those games as other then just plain losses. 

    They will expand the playoffs pretty soon because it pays everybody well, network included.

    I don't want us scheduling the Colorado School for Blind Basket Weavers because we dropped a game to Florida that we shouldn't have.

    The Ohio State game had a lot of benefits that beating the fuck out of the University of California - Ferndale would not get us.

    He’s also ok'ing russian aggression with American aggression. Can’t say no to one while conducting another. It’s a race to the worst. China is on the clock as to what country they’d like to acquire.

    If the reports are correct, Trump told Japan to chill the fuck out about defending Taiwan, so I think we know where that's headed. 

    Also, I have absolutely no doubt he wouldn't give a fuck about Taiwan, even though it would completely wreck our economy, because he doesn't understand simple economics and why Taiwan is so important.  Everything is just fucking real estate to him, that can be traded away.

    We aren’t being punished for Ohio St. we are being punished for Florida… and that’s fair unfortunately.

    Losing to Florida coming off a bye week is inexcusable

    Maybe that’s what people think but we could have played almost anyone besides Ohio State and likely won.  Then we’d be 10-2 and in the playoffs, so in fact we are being deincintivized to schedule hard games going forward.

    Or we just fucking beat all of the shitty teams and not worry about it. We should not have lost to Florida. Consistent teams don't lose those kinds of games.

    And it's fucking crazy how far and fast we've come in less than a decade where even a single loss could keep us out of playing for something significant, and now we are debating whether we should be in with 3 wins or not. We should be in if some of those 2-loss teams ahead of us lost today but they didn't.

    It’s truly insane we’re on the outside looking in… Just for scheduling the consensus #1 team in the country…. Playing them to one score on the road in their most competitive game of the year…

    Or maybe the #1 team didn't matter and it was about losing a game that we should never have even come close to losing.

  7. @Armybrat and other fans of The Browning might get a chuckle out of this - out field testing a ground drone with an M2 and ran into a Russian troop transport (it probably survived, since the M2 didn't seem to have armor piercing loaded).

    A Ukrainian ground drone armed with a Browning M2 machine gun engaged a Russian MT-LB in a direct frontal encounter on the frontline. According to reports, soldiers of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade were conducting tests of the unmanned ground platform during a mission on the front line when a Russian armoured vehicle unexpectedly appeared.
