When my wife was pregnant with our first kid, I made sure and get all of the vaccinations they offered, that I was eligible for. Same with the second kid. I should have kept up with my tetanus at the very least over the years.

I'm curious how one would even know if they were vaccinated as a kid. I did K-12 through the 80's and 90's and I have no idea what was mandatory at the time. I remember there were kids that got the measles, mumps and chickenpox in elementary school. I'm guessing the vaccination wasn't mandatory in the early 1980's.
Yeah, it's weird how hardly anybody is getting chickenpox over the last 15-20 years or so. Shit, we got dragged over to a friend's house when he caught it, and our parents were straight up "you're gonna catch it now, and its gonna suck, but here's some Star Wars action figures from that Umpire Strikes Back movie, and you'll thank us when you're adults".

I didn’t think the buckwheat one was executed very well
They will never top the Buckwheat was shot arc.
What kind of person was he?
He was a quiet young man. He attended church, and Sunday School. I remember he was always very polite.
Do you think he shot Buckwheat?
Oh yes, that's all he talked about.
----
He was a loner, but a real hard worker. I mean, he pumped the gas, he checked the oil, he washed the windows. Nice kid.
Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?
Oh, yes, definitely. Thats all he talked about. I remember one day I says, uh, Stutts, why are you working so hard? He says, Cause Im saving up to buy a gun, so I can kill Buckwheat.

What the Mormons preach is also just a kind of practical wisdom
The prepper stuff is less about practical wisdom and more about funneling resources into the church, and was/is a good way of fostering an us vs them attitude, which helped control church members and keep them in the fold. That, and their early leaders really fucked up and got the Mormons driven out of Illinois and Missouri, and put them into survivalist mode. Completely self-inflicted.

You know there will eventually be a Rebels follow up. Filoni isn't going to leave that hanging.
Filoni: We need to do a live-action show focused on Ahsoka. Maybe just a season or two, 6-8 episodes apiece.
Iger: Let me get out the checkbook!

So what does the ordinary, average Surly Thousandaire do in preparation?
Watch out for American ships being attacked. War of 1812, Spanish American War, WW1, WW2 and Vietnam all started with American ships being attacked in some way (who attacked them is for another discussion).
Have some land or access to land somewhere. Have some savings.

at some point you have to wonder if ESPN does not at least make pretty good offers to the Big 10 in 2022-23, the PAC 12 in 2023-24, and the Big 12 in 2024-25 if those conferences will not start to shy away from the SEC SEC SEC in OOC games and leave ESPN and the SEC SEC SEC to play the ESPN owned properties of the ACC and AAC (both of which will be making a lot less or a hell of a lot less than the SEC SEC SEC for 12 to 15 years)
fortunately for the Big 12 (especially with their less than aggressive leadership) I think the picture will be pretty clear by 2024-25 if ESPN is going to try and be a 3 conference network (one of them being their golden child and the other 2 being on progressively lower tiers) and what other conferences reactions to that are or if ESPN is going to try and keep some semblance of "P5" even if there are some conferences making noticeably more
You're leaving out Amazon and Apple, both of which are sitting on more cash than ESPN and The Mouse, and both of which really want to bolster their services, and one, Amazon, has already been dipping their toes in sports streaming/partnerships. As well, AT&T didn't spend $85 billion dollars on Time Warner just to sit on it and do nothing.
The people in the other companies (Amazon, Apple, AT&T/Warner/etc.) who are making these actual decisions are not necessarily looking at things like OOC games and the like, the bean counters are looking at overall footprints and markets, and while they would like the conferences to have good OOC games, their first priority is getting their foot in the door and getting some of the pie.

It makes one wonder how the Big 12 will be able to compete. The increased value of the CBS package will add $18M per year per team.
The Big 12 will compete just like it, and its predecessors, and every other conference has always done - on their own merits. Some of you kids don't remember decades ago when the payouts were not even close to 2019, and yet somehow, conferences were doing what they always did.
No kid is going to turn us down because of what another conference is making every year, they are going to turn us down because we have a shit program headed by a shit coach.
2 hours ago, SwanderedTalent said:Texas A&M generating more revenue than us without accounting shenanigans and/or counting non-recurring inputs as "revenue" should be enough to push another major realignment, unless ESPN wants to step in again and placate us with another "You're Texas" bonus.
So that's the fucking answer? Run away? Aggy and Nebraska, those are teams that run away. We're Texas, we don't do that kind of shit.
And because we are Texas, we know that aggy, as always, is benefitting from their big brothers and riding their coattails - Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, etc. are the reasons the SEC is getting paid more.
Aggy coulnd't even win their fucking division with their greatest QB of all time, let alone compete for a conference title. Nobody gives a fuck about a team that hasn't won a national title since Hitler was in power. If Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and Georgia bailed on the SEC tomorrow, nobody is going to be like "Why good sirs of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical Institution, we would like to give you all the moneys for your Southeastern Conference of Athletics, because we believe your team is why the SEC is the SEC".

Fuck that and fuck that shitty conference.
We will get paid just fine if we do well - Amazon and Apple have entered the chat, and have a shit-ton of money to throw around on sports, and that's a part of why CBS/Viacom are shedding some deals. Amazon and Apple are sitting on a shit-ton more money than the Redstone family can even comprehend, and they know it's one of the few ways that they can compete with Disney+/Hulu/ESPN, and AT&T/Time Warner/HBO/whatever.
But if we don't get paid, it's because we are fielding a shit program led by a shit coach, and that is 100% on us. Unlike aggy who blames everybody else for their problems, and blames their conference and runs away from their conference, our problems have nothing to do with our conference at all, and everything to do with the shit-show we've been running since our MNC run-in with Alabama.
Everybody needs to stop with this bullshit "aggy gonna get paid more and I'm scared" bullshit, because they are sucking on Daddy Saban's teat. Aggy ain't making more because they went 6-2 in the SEC back in 2012, or because they won a MNC back in the 1930s.
We will get paid just fine as long as we get our house in order.

Why do you think Shapiro had his wife and kids there? That whole thing was staged.

I watched the new Wonder Woman trailer, and when they started the music and flashed "1984" on the screen, I was like "yeah, okay, my childhood, this is going to be cool."
I left YouTube running while I was mucking around in the kitchen, and they had some reaction videos that followed, and the first YouTuber, when 1984 flashed on the screen said "Oh my gosh, I wish I was alive in the '80s", followed by somebody who said "1984, oh wow, that was just a few years before I was born". And I shut it off. And realized that the second YouTube, even though they were born in the late 80s, is in their 30s.

I'm interested in seeing how the extremely vulnerable GOP senators handle an impeachment trial. They usually run from reporters today when Trump's name comes up. They won't have that option when it comes to voting at the trial.
Take Gardner (R-CO) for example. By all accounts, he's losing badly in the polls. He can continue this path, vote to acquit, and be out of a job in 12 months. If Trump is still President maybe he can get an admin role. Or he vote to convict, face a tough crowd back at home, suffer thru Trump attacks, but maintain a small chance of winning. Is it better to have a 5% chance or 0%?
52 minutes ago, CO Horn said:If you want to make that argument, why did none of the retiring GOP representatives vote to impeach? They have nothing to lose. Gardner would likely not benefit by supporting impeachment. Not sure if there would be a chance of him being primaried, but many GOP voters would not vote for him if he voted to impeach Trump.
Are there enough moderates in Colorado? Are Trumpkins willing to vote D or leave it blank and give it up to the Democrats?
As for the retiring Republicans, most of them probably don’t want to be harassed by Trumpkins. If they were to hang up their shingle somewhere, they are going to catch hell from Trumpkins.

I don’t think you can really judge the guy based on his twitter activity, clearly he thinks and acts differently than most everyone else on social media.
Actually, I think I can, since it reflects how he acts at his rallies and at some of his press conferences when he goes off-script. That, and he and various press secretaries/spokespeople have said that his twitter account is him unfiltered.

Thank you for considering me a friend, but I don't mind if you mention that it's me who is curious about this potentially lucrative employment opportunity.
And I would only run those ads in areas that are heavily pro-Trump and not flipping, which is not an anti-Trump agenda, it's just making sure those folks are feeling good about themselves and their choice of candidates.
