    I think y'all are right with one criticism. It's not just boomers tooling around in big automobiles pretending everything is just fine. You'll also find boomers who have had a keen interest in the environment for decades. They (all environmentalists) have been ridiculed for decades and marginalized as silly.

    The destruction of the carbon balance starts with the so-called Greatest Generation and the boom after WWII. Boomers led the charge to make rivers like the Hudson safe for fish again. Smog has been greatly diminished. Other good citizens joined and carried on that charge. People of all ages in the movement had a majority of whatever generation they were in standing around indifferent or scornful.

    American materialism fueled by advertising is the culprit in general.

    I get it, you're a Boomer and want to put an asterisk next to the footnote. We're lucky to have people like you as fellow Americans. But, overall, Boomers go down as the worst generation, and it's not even close. I know it must feel odd (as Boomers venerate the "Greatest Generation") for those that come after you to label you as putrid, selfish has-beens.

    As a Gen X'er, it's been eye-opening to see Boomers pat themselves on the back and criticize millennials with zero self-awareness. And my generation has been way more prone to conspiracy theory and anti-democratic ideas than I'd like. Luckily, we're just a blip on the population scale.

    Times change. Generations pass. But we need to raise the Estate Tax like yesterday and lower the unified credit to tax most of this wealth and spend it trying to un-fuck things.

    All the typical Trump stages are coming 

    And none of that will fucking matter to a DC juror.

    Completely agree.  Just wondering how much suffering Sark is comfortable with per Ewers against Bama.

    There will be about a half a quarter while it's a close game that will be good for him if he can come out of it healthy. Hudson can have the 4th quarter to refine his game. And his game is pretty much trying to escape to the right, not keeping his eyes downfield, and making either an ill-advised throw over the middle or running out of bounds a yard and half from the sticks.

    Isn't that what Texas is doing on offense?

    "See what Sark did at Alabama with offensive players." Even recruits like Cook mentioned scheme from Alabama and that Texas needs more talent for it to work. If PK and the defensive staff are getting worked because of "resume reading" they need to do a better job because it's working on offense. 

    The offense was better than the defense last year but it was still a major work in progress. They're selling a vision and using Sark's resume as an offensive coordinator to get the job done. PK has a great resume with DL talent (draft picks and recruiting) so if resume reading isn't working to justify scheme they aren't doing a good enough job selling it. 

     

     

    Texas was ranked #18 in Team Offense in 2021.

    Was thinking about buying this but was told the difficulty was off the charts and unless I was willing and able to invest a shitload of time to learn it I wouldn’t like it. I’m willing but possibly not able. Is it that hard? To the point its difficult to “get in to”?

    It's game of the year (or probably last 5?). It's a worthy investment. Just remember, if you don't know what to do next you can always try fingers, but hole. Works all the time.

  6. On the one hand, applaud Turkey backing Ukraine and keeping them supplied with drones, helped by Russians killing a bunch of Turks not long ago.
    On the other hand, fuck them if they try to hold this up, given their past behaviors with Russia.
     

    We seen this before. Greg Sankey will give him a call.

    It will be unanimous vote.
