  1. Eh.. I would personally align the tech advances closer to rockets, radar and jet engines of WWII. All of them critical but never a replacement for men with guns. (A-bomb was the biggest tech leap but I'm addressing land acquisitions and those don't work so well in that pursuit) The battlefield will continue to evolve even past what we are now seeing with drones and missles into mechanized artillery/heavy weapons to name just one but those need materials and maintenance to function. The core of war always has been and always will be supply lines and even with technology the capability to run them and keep them running will require humans for the foreseeable future.
  2. I mean, in this instance, Trump isn't technically wrong. It all depends on who specifically one is referring to when using "Russians" and how one define the word "want". -edit please note sarcasm tags prior to forcing on a maga hat on my head.
  3. Why do you hate the Cowboys so much?
  4. He got busy with family stuff, having kids, work. Shifted a bit to political cartoons. Got less interested in Texas sports or at least drawing MS Paint about them. Moved on. That's pretty much what I picked up from him in his last posts anyway. People's interests change over time, and their allocation of their time changes with it.
  5. Naw brawl! Naw, naw!
  6. Nope, the reason I noted generators first. I have a whole house generator and I know everyone in my "hollar" can hear it when it kicks on. Tennessee grid likes to compete with Texas grid for "How can it suck so bad" trophies.
  7. Seems officiating is shit everywhere. Watching ND last week, when BC was giving them fits in the 1st half the odds making flags came out. I mean penalty flags.
  8. Asset hoarding among the wealthy will begin to fight the cold. Don't think the middle class and poor wont notice the running generators the rich can afford to source and the lights = heat on in their homes. Mean while they are cold in the dark. That video above mentioned it, you can't spin that knowledge and day to day reality out of existing with propaganda.
  9. I'll never care for those gimmicky lining up offset Nerd used for the PAT. Houston scores again off an INT. Interesting.
  10. I have to surprise pop in to one of these someday just to watch 4 hours of Emo (aka Darlene) and Gremlin (aka Valerie) getting ignored by Luna. Darlene would just move to people, Gremlin would be persistent.
  11. Honestly, put AI of Mickey as play by play and Pluto as color. Use the voices of Samuel Jackson and AI of John Madden. SJ- "These mother fucking lineman layin' wood opened up a hole bigger than old New Orleans whore." JM - "Speaking of boom, that is a hole... lot of love for your running back." SJ - "My man. Flag is down, let this mother fucker say holding one more time, I dare him" JM - "Sometimes you just gotta reach out and touch someone Sammy."
  12. Oh man, I applaud your naive enthusiasm. You will be hearing from your oligarch overlords.
  13. Ehh.. from a pure liability stand point it's better to let the dust settle. From a PR stand point letting the story spread in social media prior does not end up with you looking like a bad guy when your employee got stabbed. Combine them both and for a proper legal and social media CYA get all the facts, make sure the public is aware of facts, then make a move. We living in Murica and post on Surly. Legal and social media applications should be common knowledge round here. Wait, are you a lawyer?
  14. Well, the committee doesn't appear to agree with your view. Our schedule if we beat Pig and aggie will have a victory over a top 10 team and losses to 2 top 5 teams + Florida. To leave Texas out would fly directly in the face of their claim to want teams to schedule strong OOC games. So if that comes to pass their hypocrites and will have lost a lot of face. Based on current polls, it seems pretty clear they aren't hypocrites and intend to reward difficult schedules.
  15. We go 11-2 there is a 100% chance we are #2 with B1G in the #1 spot save a crazy and extremely unrealistic nose dive by BOTH OSU and IU.
  16. Well, I tried to keep it focused and flung zero poo. I'm just going to say it was a tragic loss of life and I feel for the Kneeland family. Be kind to others and support your friends and family as best you can when they are suffering. I'm out.
  17. I feel pretty confident Wisner finds a home as a utility RB/Player somewhere. He's always consistent, always runs hard and has never been injured. I think some scouts are going to recognize the OL run issues he has dealt with the last 2 year while still being a very productive back. Goosby as others have already noted isn't ready, imo. Taaffe is a proven team leader. I could see him going higher into a team that lacks that on D. (For Taaffe don't be Dallas) Hill is a beast someone absolutely sees his value.
  18. This weekends lower rung games intrigue me a lot. FSU-Clemson, Florida-Kentucky and WF-Virgina are all interesting to me. Of course, the first aggie game in November is of note, and I look forward to seeing if Navy can give ND problems like I believe they might. Could be a gloriously amusing day of football. If I can actually watch any of them.
  19. I've made it clear in a couple of threads and posts that Virginia maybe just be the biggest Tengujo Dragon this year. That said, Wake Forest arguably has the easiest P4 schedule. This list has them at #94 below such luminaries as SHSU, albeit above Middle Tennessee State. (Same list has Virginia at # 78 fwiw) I've also discussed how debatable SOS is as a legit metric. So... Toilet Paper Dragon vs Walk in the Park. I don't think it's crazy to see Wake Forest winning or Virginia blowing them out. I may just watch because I find the following amusing:
  20. Sausages upset my stomach anyway, but what am I clicking? Is that some sort of tool? Betsy said Casper Millen uses them on his dog show.
  21. What is a padf and that's way too small to read.
  22. The broader heritage/genetic aspect of crime is still in early discovery, too many alinging factors that could point to alternative factors particularly socio-economic and parental. However, the mental health aspects appear to be far more conclusive regarding genetics, and a tie in to criminal behavior there is stronger as well in certain aspects/areas of crime. Drug addiction/crime shows the clearest correlation and abuse aligned with those mental/drug ailments. That said, mental health is so complex and individual it's very dangerous to cast any wide nets. Some medicines work great for one but not another. Some therapy helps one but not another. Sadly, there's more we don't know than do. Derka hit on it but the lack of funding for good mental health care and research in the US is terrible. Conversely as others have noted sometimes all the support in the world won't prevent suicide. When working my mental health I had a client suffering from depression when a drunk driver ran into the car carrying his wife, son and only child, daughter in law and grand child. They all passed. He was in his mid 50s. He was getting help and had family support but ultimately took his own life as everyone most important to him in his life was gone in one moment. He was a Longhorn fan and I would talk to him about the prospect of a new season or what was going well outside that but honestly, it was really, really hard to dispute his logic of wanting to join them in the after life. (He was very spiritual) Then there was another who suffered horrible schizophrenia with voices that told him to kill himself. He got medicated and affected that he had gotten better and no longer heard the voices nor wanted to harm himself. Once released within a day or two he took his own life. We should do everything we can from cheering on people we know and supporting those in our circle to pushing for funding. We should also never make assumptions about a situation or what someone was suffering. Particularly, we should never assume those around them weren't helping as best they could. That's potentially putting blame on someone already suffering is just additional cruelty.
  23. Well, I completely brain farted on the CCG champs getting auto bids. It was early, I was tired or something.. perhaps its just my on going regards.
  24. As long as the billionaire media power brokers use extortion to disrupt and over charge all consumers for the AI games, I'm in.
