  1. There's time, but I don't get what the staff is thinking. Our offensive line class has 2 legitimate players and we are looking at one guy who is committed to LSU who is a solid player but is a step down from Roseborough to be frank. We need him but we also need 1 additional difference maker for a solid 4 man class. It doesn't seem like we have nearly enough lines in the water. A bunch of transfers will help, but our coach doesn't like transfer offensive linemen and they are only a temporary fix to what has been and will continue to be a long-term problem.

    Those avenues have and continue to be explored. Mda had a drug trial specific to the gene mutation but I wasn't accepted. 

     

    Do you happen to know which kinase (or other protein) the mutated gene codes for?

    Apparently the source of my extreme discomfort lately is fluid in the abdomen. Getting that crap drained tomorrow, supposed to make me feel like new. 

    Also everything grew significantly in the last scan so I decided to get rid of the chemo pill I've been taking that has been making life unpleasant lately. 

    No real options left at this point beyond hoping for a relevant trial. 

    I've been lucky to have been able to keep the disease relatively stable for the last three years but it seems like the decline has begun. It's an interesting transition to make mentally. I've dealt with a lot of shit in those 3 years but at the same time things are just now starting to feel "real" 

     

    What type of cancer?

    Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky is currently closed to arriving and departing flights, following the crash of (UPS2976), a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 being operated as a cargo plane by UPS Airlines that had just taken-off from the UPS Worldport in Louisville. A massive fire is currently burning near the airport — engulfing several nearby buildings — with a shelter-in-place order having been issued for a five-mile radius around Muhammad Ali.

    I use to live on a street that had 5 or 6 UPS pilots on it. Have they announced the name of the pilot, yet?

    If you go down that list, it's interesting that so many are clustered in South/Southeast Asia (India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia), as well as Australia. I wonder if that's related to where they are, or just where folks are digging.

    New technology is developing to lessen the need for rare earth metals in batteries and magnets - probably true in oil and gas refining as well.

    Does this story end in a sore butthole story? Nevermind, don't go on.

    Marily Monroe and JFK's ghost supposedly present at some HOllywood hotel

     

    Don't know anything about it - but probably Hotel Coronado - because it is a pretty cool hotel. Not Hollywood though - It's on Coronado Island.

  8. Ukraine-Russia war latest: Massive fires seen in Russian port town after Ukrainian drone strike

     

    Kyiv says it is preparing to carry out more long-range strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as winter approaches

    A Ukrainian drone strike has started major fires in Russia's Tuapse city, setting ablaze an oil tanker and the town's port in a move that could disrupt Moscow's fuel exports.

    A large part of Russia's crude and refined products reach international markets via the port in Russia's southern region of Krasnodar.

     

    In recent months, Kyiv has intensified strikes on Russian oil and energy infrastructure, whose profits fuel the Kremlin's war effort.

    Ukraine's secret service revealed yesterday that it has carried out over 150 strikes targeting Russian oil refineries and pipelines.

    Kyiv is preparing for new drone and long-range strikes on Russian energy infrastructure with a goal of causing widespread blackouts in Russia, said Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's drone forces.

    Brovdi said more such strikes would lead to frequent fuel shortages across Russia as Moscow's gas and oil reserves were "burning fast".

    There are reports that a Rosneft offshore oil terminal might have been hit. The deep-water berth might have been hit. It was put into operation in 2013 and has the capacity to handle up to ~7 million tons per year, and to accommodate vessels up to 250 m long and with a draft of up to 15 m (so the ones that can carry the most oil).

    Oh okay so now Cal is good at football. 

    This was Navin's take that you agreed with:

    Quote

    SoCal kids aren’t interested in playing in West Lafayette, In and Lansing, MI. Not to mention, the state of California doesn’t produce the same caliber of athletes they used to. It’s more about equality, and chicks with dicks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    The reasons that USC sucks at football now are internal. There is plenty of talent nearby and decent money there (if it can be tapped). And there are plenty of players that would be fine playing football in Southern California. Players have no problem playing anywhere in the US if the money is right. 

    Really, what I think more than anything (besides a good coach) is that USC needs a good business person in the athletic department who can draw NIL from surrounding LA businesses.

    I think California is kind of broken from a college football standpoint.

    I'm not sure I appreciate the "chicks with dicks" language but overall I agree with what @Navin R. Johnson is saying. 

    Really? Look at NFL rosters. California has plenty of athletes. And all USC needs is 25 players a year. And like Texas, they don't all have to come from California. Our best player in recent history came from Arizona. And Ohio State is fine recruiting guys from warm weather climates. And the inner cities don't give a shit about "chicks with dicks": that's generally not why they vote as they do. And central and northern and eastern California vote differently than San Fransisco and LA. And keep political takes off the football board.

    Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) struck a key Russian military fuel pipeline in Moscow Oblast on Oct. 31, disabling a key supply route used by the Russian army, the agency said in a statement.

    HUR said the strike targeted the Koltsevoy (Ring) pipeline, a 400-kilometer-long fuel artery used to supply Russia’s armed forces with gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from refineries in Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Moscow.

    The operation reportedly destroyed all three major fuel lines of the system simultaneously near Ramensky district, south-east of Moscow. Despite anti-drone nets and armed security on-site, the pipeline infrastructure was successfully taken out of service, HUR said.

    "The Ring pipeline was capable of transporting up to 3 million tons of jet fuel annually, as well as millions of tons of diesel and gasoline," HUR said, calling the strike a "serious blow" to Russia’s military logistics and its economy in Moscow Oblast.

    "Our strikes have had more impact than the sanctions," HUR chief Kyrylo Budanov was quoted as saying in the post.

    "It’s just a mathematical truth. We caused much greater damage to the Russian Federation through direct action than any economic levers of influence that had been introduced on them until now," he added.

    The reported strike was part of a broader Ukrainian drone assault on Russia overnight. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed it intercepted 98 drones overnight across 10 regions, including 11 over Moscow Oblast, six of which were reportedly headed toward the capital, Russian independent news outlet Meduza reported on Nov. 1. These coordinated strikes are part of Ukraine’s broader campaign to dismantle Russia’s military infrastructure and undermine its warfare capabilities.

    Guys like that need the piss beat out of them. 


    But those are exactly the types who become ghosts, rattle chains, cause bug infestations, fuck up the tv, and generally prevent newly weds from getting it on.

  13. Ukraine closes embassy in hurricane-stricken Cuba - due to Russian recruitment of Cuban soldiers

    Away from the battlefield, Ukraine's relations with Cuba have come under strain.

    Kyiv announced yesterday it has closed its embassy in Havana and is downgrading diplomatic ties over the high number of Cuban citizens allegedly joining Russia's war in Ukraine.

    Earlier, Ukraine also voted against a UN resolution that would end the US embargo against the island nation, a few hours after the country was hit by a generational hurricane.

    Ukraine's foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said the vote was a reaction to "the inaction of Cuba's authorities" in response to Russia's "massive" recruitment of Cuban citizens to its armed forces.

    "Thousands of them have signed contracts, joining the ranks of soldiers directly engaged in combat operations on Ukrainian soil," he wrote on X.

    According to an unclassified US cable, up to 5,000 Cubans are fighting in Ukraine, though Cuba has denied this.
