  1. Outside of manufacturing, where six sigma is just SPC/SQC by a fancy name, it's pretty much bullshit.
  2. Couldn't read. State or federal court and whose court? In a legitimate court, the "Tylenol" report wouldn't meet the Daubert standard for reliability and scientific acceptance and the case dismissed. In Kaczmaryk or O'Connor's court, and the Fifth Circuit, that probably won't matter. But they'll be creating precedent that will hurt big pharma and other moneyed interests.
  3. Hence the "for better or worse." I do think, though, that as helpful and right as student loan forgiveness may be, it is perceived by many working class folks as a sop to educated elites that puts the burden on them. They buy the "pay your debts, loser" part.
  4. Wait, now we're on long stretches plural? First it was 30 days, then it was 39, and now it's plural? And, as to people in high-stress high-time-commitment jobs, there's a notion that you take "vacation," when you can.
  5. They've always been there and have always been stupid and racisty. Before Trump, they a) didn't vote b) in a bloc and c) kept their stupidity, racism, and conspiracy theories mostly to themselves. They need to be told to sit down and shut the fuck up again.
  6. For better or worse, I think they're saying "distance yourselves from things that can be labeled socialism." That, or don't piss off our bank and health industry donors.
  7. About 35% of SNAP recipients are white, compared to 25% black and 15% Hispanic.
  8. I think in English, it's more a descriptive term. In many Latin cultures, it is used as an insult, especially Italy.
  9. He is correct, though, that the modern connotation, especially used pejoratively, is a guy that gets off on it. Or maybe cries in the corner while jerking his lil wang. Also, remember the cuckold is supposedly a horned beast and this is why we don't flash the Hookem in Italy. 🤘
  10. Both Matts Rancho Martinez and Mattitos were founded by Matt Jr. Not sure why the split, but Matt III is still affiliated with MRM, but not Mattitos, IIRC. Mattitos calls the Bob Armstrong "Special Dip," so that kind of indicates they've been cut out of the family tree.
  11. Saw this about Trump and beef prices. Rollins is one of the less plastic fantastic in his oeuvre, but she should shitcan her stylist. She looks like a gangrene sausage.
  12. And a fair amount of low-profile timber and oil money that is more likely to have connection to UA. A lot of Arkansas' high profile big money is to UA as the Bass family is to UT, for example.
  13. And the poverty class will have a lot less to lose, and therefore be susceptible to violent revolution, than the petit bourgeoisie we have now debating general strikes and trying to normalize this shit.
  14. To the addiction point. Relapses do happen, more often than not. But the only thing you can ask of the relapsing addict is to get sober and get back on the program. Rehab doesn't have to be a part of that, necessarily, but it sure can't hurt -- the main benefit being removal from the day to day grind. And, if it was a serious relapse, like a several day hard core bender, 30 days is probably not the recommended course. Hell, 30 days is generally regarded as insufficient in most cases. Anyway, I'm gonna need more than even a credible rumor that that is true before I start to give it any credence.
  15. I mean outside of quien es mas macho land, it should probably be expected that a football coach is not home "tending to the Mrs." in a whole variety of ways that might invite infidelity or other forms of marriage failure. None of which are particularly the coach-spouse's fault. We like to laugh at Jimbo and spin all kinds of porn-influenced scenarios, but I imagine most coaches' marriages are tenuous on a number of fronts, just like a lot of men and women with occupations that demand an excessive amount of their time and attention. You'd like to think a guy with that kind of job or prospects would choose a wife accordingly, but I think that's asking a lot. No amount of premarital discussion can really prepare one for prolonged spousal absence.
  16. If his was the worst, you're challenging him. Hard. The administration and AD hated Beard's bitch too and she was arguably directly fucking things up adjacent the program, but they didn't try to fire Beard until he let it get to an embarrassing and untenable legal situation.
  17. Missing Junior Day is the only thing that troubles me there. That seems to be actual fact. But it seems like a coach should get a couple weeks time off immediately after the season, particularly if going through a divorce or similar personal problems.
  18. The theory is that the practices weren't physical/practical enough that Sark could see that he had shit for an OLine, probable shit for a QB, and likely shit for skill players outside Wisner and Baxter. There is, for some reason, a disconnect between what Sark thinks his offensive players can execute and what they really can execute. It has been apparent for several years, although to lesser degrees. Exacerbated this year by the heavy turnover on O. There are a variety of possible reasons for that disconnect, but we have no real idea which one it is or if it is a combination of things. Possibilities include: Light, NFL practices in off-season Off-field issues, ranging from the known divorce and reconciliation, complete with child, to cuckolding and/or benders/relapse Yes man assistants Incompetent assistants that hide their incompetence (functionally equivalent to yes-men) Pure stupidity and obstinance from Sark
  19. Shit an any test, except maybe grifting. I'm not even sure teh Donald really even understands his grifting.
  20. Marucci.
  21. As far as the parsing goes, and I'm not sure how valid that it, Sark didn't deny that his agents talked to the NFL. As others have pointed out, for better or worse during this most chaotic of coaching carousels, it would be negligent for agents not to talk to the NFL to attempt to generate contract leverage. The denial leaves open that his agents contacted the NFL without his knowledge or consent, or with his consent as a tactic, only.
  22. Someone on the game thread said "it's not being denied." Referring I suppose to portapotty girl or whatever. Which is just chef's kiss for this timeline.
  23. It had been years since I saw the movie and decided to look it up to see where I could stream it. The answer, of course, was nowhere, but the series cropped back up. I started it again, and had seen the first couple of eps, because I vaguely remembered. Now about to finish season 1 and it has been pretty good. Lizzy Caplan is always good, whatever the role and so is that Vicky Krieps chick.
  24. One major problem is the audience.
