  1. and yours is Greece? Greece is actually a country and a musical.
  2. know
  3. I assume that the FBI and CIA no nothing about tracing the origin of a virus so I am hoping that they are looking at information leaks. The WHO and NIH and CDC should be the leaders on the technical side of things.
  4. I like Brandon Baker as a player so you must be confused or missed a word like early playing time.
  5. In Loving Memory of Gregory "Greg" H. Reynolds October 14, 1982 - January 22, 2025 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Gregory "Greg" H. Reynolds, a man who lived life with depth, charisma, and a quiet sense of adventure. Greg passed away on January 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and an unmistakable presence. Standing at an impressive 6’4”, Greg’s height was only overshadowed by his larger-than-life personality. Tall, dark, and undeniably handsome, Greg had a way of making every room he entered feel just a little brighter. His striking good looks were matched only by his warmth, intelligence, and dry sense of humor that drew people to him effortlessly. A man of varied passions, Greg’s love for literature was evident to anyone who spent more than a few moments with him. His book collection spanned genres, but there was a special place in his heart for the raw, no-nonsense style of Surly, whose words resonated deeply with Greg’s own love for authenticity and introspection. He could often be found lost in the pages of a Surly thread, his thoughtful gaze reflecting the complexity of the worlds within those words. He believed that literature, like life, should challenge you, make you think, and at times, make you a little uncomfortable. Greg was a lover of the simple things—quiet mornings with a cup of coffee, spontaneous road trips, and the feeling of getting lost in a good book. Yet, for all his introspection, he was deeply devoted to his friends and family, always offering a listening ear, a thoughtful piece of advice, or just the right words when you needed them most. He leaves behind his beloved sister, Charlotte Reynolds; his parents, Thomas and Evelyn Reynolds; a host of friends who considered him a brother; and countless others who were lucky enough to know the incredible person he was. In honor of Greg’s love for Surly, we invite friends and family to gather at his favorite tailgate for the Spring game for a memorial in celebration of his life. Share a story, and raise a glass to the man who lived with quiet strength and a passion for life that will never be forgotten. Rest easy, Greg. You’ve left a mark on this world that no amount of time will erase.
  6. I was going to post something similar, but wasn't sure how it would go over. 100 year old homes on small lots is a recipe for disaster in fire prone regions. ICF, steel construction, or even polyurethane SIPs with fiber cement board siding and non-wood shingles would perform better.
  7. That guy's film is quite impressive. Don't know what his ranking is but he is a must have.
  8. All I'm talking about is feet. He is a bit like a baby giraffe and would have problems with both speed rushers like Ford and bull rushers like Berymon. Sam Utu is rated 74 in the country and use as a comparison. Felix Ojo is rated #29 in the country so I guess he is too highly regarded to compare. Ojo has better feet than Wright but not great feet and he leans too far forward, doesn't keep his feet under him and loses balance.
  9. Yeah, I know the offers. Krempin looks good and of course Turntine looks great. Those other guys are Jags. And Wright has terrible feet. Look as the tape of Wirght and then look at Sam Utu who 247 lists as an interior lineman or Immanuel Iheanacho who is the number 2 rated OT - https://www.hudl.com/profile/19956945/Immanuel-Iheanacho
  10. That would be a bad offensive line class. Max Wright is terrible and that interior class is meh.
  11. TLDR. Can you summarize in a gif or something’?
  12. We ain’t signing a guy named Rocco - Rutgers lock
  13. tOSU also has a nursing school.
  14. Dude looks like he will be a good player for us.
  15. His film looks very good. He has excellent feet and is able to pick up guys in space. He has good size. He finishes his blocks. There is a lot to like.
  16. Correct. I am friends with a number of older black women from Gonzales (not Goliad) and generally they know the families from Halletsville, Shiner, all the way down to Refugio. I know that is a huge swath of land (1.5hr drive) but the populations are pretty low unless you include Victoria. The connection is church, and lots of related families.
  17. Jake Tapper on CNN was not thrilled. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/politics/video/biden-preemptive-pardons-tapper-bash-digvid
  18. Pretty cool. I had a $1400 bill from Air BnB and $50 cleaning fee and $200 Air BnB fee plus taxes in a no sales tax state brought the total to $1800.
  19. Well, tOSU fans are crazy. I was at the Denver airport at a sports bar, and a fan was screaming for him to be fired for losing to Michigan after they had just blown out Oregon.
  20. I still think that his best position is linebacker in the Overshown mold, but I doubt he will embrace the move and gain the necessary weight. More likely, in the current North Shore mold, he will transfer from his first school and fizzle out.
  21. Personally, I'm not a fan of ranges. I prefer cooktops and double ovens. Some of the professional ranges look nice, but performance is better with a cooktop and set of ovens. You can get a 36 inch cooktop with induction, gas, or induction and gas (I think Fisher and Paykel). Then you can get a regular oven with a speed oven which doubles as a microwave. A lot of it, in the end, depends on the layout of the kitchen and the look you are going for. However, function wise, I think a cooktop and 2 ovens always wins out over 30 and 36 and 48 inch ranges. And yes, 30" ranges look puny and cheap in luxury kitchens.
  22. So you are saying using the Sedition act against your political enemies isn't the same as threatening to put a political enemy in jail? And, I guess this is different because Trump is guilty? Kamala Harris Says DOJ Would Prosecute Trump If She’s Elected https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/kamala-harris-prosecuting-donald-trump?srsltid=AfmBOooxmIKVj-Z15s048sXtCQb7LBdmPL67e2VLq-sdr0qgIdfErSZa While Democrats in Congress are at loggerheads over whether to begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, Democrats on the campaign trail have been less constrained in their opinion that the president has committed crimes—and should be charged as soon as he is out of office. Jumping on the Lock Him Up bandwagon is California senator Kamala Harris, who told the NPR Politics Podcast in an interview that aired Wednesday that the Department of Justice would have “no choice” but to prosecute Trump once he is no longer president. What about the political opponents who threatened to criminally prosecute Harry S. Truman for war crimes for his use of the atomic bomb in Japan. And Oppenheimer wasn't criminally charged but he was threatened with criminal charges. How is that different? And who the fuck cares about this point - It doesn't change the fact that pardoning Fausi sets a dangerous precedent. Why do you think it doesn't? Because Trump sucks as a person? I don't get your reasoning. https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/gore-lays-out-a-compelling-indictment-of-bush-actions/ But even after discounting for political motivations, it seems to me that Gore has done a service by laying out the case as clearly and copiously as he has done. His overall charge is that Bush has systematically broken the laws and bent the Constitution by his actions in the national security and domestic anti-terrorism areas. He is not the first to make that complaint. My e-mail has included many messages from people who have leaped far ahead of the evidence and concluded that Bush should be impeached and removed from office for actions they deem to be illegal. Gore stops well short of that point and contents himself with citing the cases that cause many others concern. The first – and, to my mind, weakest – instance is the claim that Bush took the nation to war on the basis of false intelligence about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. But there is no clear evidence as yet that Bush willfully concocted or knowingly distorted the intelligence he received about Saddam Hussein’s military programs. Interpretations of that intelligence varied within the government, but the Clinton administration, of which Gore was an important part, came to the same conclusions that Bush did – and so did other governments in the Western alliance. It is a reach to attempt to make a crime of a policy misjudgment. But the other cases cited by Gore are more troubling. The Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal, for which only low-level military personnel have been punished, traces back through higher and untouched levels of command to the Pentagon, the Justice Department and the White House, all of which failed in their duties to assure that the occupation forces were adhering to recognized international standards for the treatment of prisoners. Similarly, the administration’s resistance to setting and enforcing clear prohibitions on torture and inhumane treatment of detainees in the war on terrorism raises legitimate questions about its willingness to adhere to the rule of law. From the first days after 9/11, Bush has appeared to believe that he is essentially unconstrained. His oddly equivocal recent signing statement on John McCain’s legislation banning such tactics seemed to say he could ignore the plain terms of the law. If Judge Samuel Alito is right that “no one is above the law,” then Bush’s supposition deserves to be challenged. Gore’s final example – on which he has lots of company among legal scholars – is the contention that Bush broke the law in ordering the National Security Agency to monitor domestic phone calls without a warrant from the court Congress had created to supervise all such wiretapping. If – as the Justice Department and the White House insist – the president can flout that law, then it is hard to imagine what power he cannot assert. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter has summoned Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to a hearing on the warrantless wiretap issue, and that hearing should be the occasion for a broad exploration of the willingness of this administration to be constrained by the Constitution and the laws. The committee should keep the attorney general on the witness stand as long as it takes – as long as it spent examining the qualifications of Judge Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts, if it comes to that. The stakes for the country are that important.
