Like alligator tackling?

In conference play, we beat Mississippi State, OU, and Florida by a lot, Kentucky was somewhere in the middle, and A&M, Vanderbilt, and Arkansas we kept in the game through dumbassery. This is an away game against an opponent who would be middle of the pack in the SEC. It's possible that we could blow them out, but I think it is more likely that we will gift points and keep them in it similar to how the Clemson game went.

Yeah, unfortunately this year Sark and our QB have a penchant for close games. Whether it is a timely interception, a poor coaching decision, a costly penalty, or a fumble, we have notoriously kept lesser teams feeling like they have a chance. We totally dominated Clemson and could have easily been up by 21+ points and forced them to panic or lay down, but that didn't happen. And it hasn't happened all season. I guess this time could be different, but I won't count on it. We will win, but I can't remember our last blowout victory.

Closest I could find but no numbers: Ukraine Gets Major $266 Million F-16 Boost From US Published Dec 11, 2024 at 5:42 AM EST Updated Dec 12, 2024 at 11:33 AM EST Ukraine Approves New Droid Fighter Robot With Mounted Machine Gun By Hugh Cameron The U.S. has authorized a $266 million military package for Ukraine, aimed at supporting the services and repairs required to maintain the country's fleet of F-16 fighter jets. The announcement came on Tuesday from the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), a branch of the Defense Department focused on weapons transfers and related support to allied nations. In its release, the DSCA said the State Department had approved the quarter-billion-dollar support package and Congress had been notified of the proposed sale, which when finalized will comprise "sustainment services and related equipment" for Kyiv's fighter jets. These include the Joint Mission Planning System, a software-based tool used by the Defense Department to coordinate missions for military aircraft and other assets, as well as maintenance services, personnel training and spare parts. "This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe," the DSCA said. It added that the sale will "improve Ukraine's capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability" and that the country "will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces." F-16 A Danish F-16 at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, U.K. On Tuesday, the U.S. DSCA announced the approval of a $266 million military package for Ukrainian F-16s. John Keeble/Getty Images As well as facilitating the transfer of the jets to Ukraine from European nations, the U.S. has in the past helped to upgrade Kyiv's existing fleet. In late August, the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Visual Information Distribution Service announced that jets supplied by the Netherlands and Denmark had been fitted with new systems allowing them to conduct "full-spectrum electromagnetic warfare." "The F-16s are operational and actively participating in Ukraine's combat operations," a State Department official told Newsweek. "The United States, along with its allies and partners, remains committed to supporting the expansion of Ukraine's F-16 program, which includes increasing the number of aircraft, as well as training pilots and maintainers." Ukraine announced that it had received its first batch of American-made F-16 fighter jets, originally developed for the U.S. Air Force, in August. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude to the U.S., Denmark and the Netherlands for their support but did not specify which country supplied the shipment. Read more Ukraine Ukraine's NATO allies—including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium—have together promised to send nearly 100 F-16s to Kyiv, according to FlightGlobal, though it is unclear how many have been received or are yet operational. However, this sum is still insufficient, according to Ukraine. Zelensky told AFP in May that his country would require "120 to 130" F-16s to achieve "parity" with Russia's forces. When contacted for further information, a State Department official told Newsweek that they were unable to disclose the exact number of F-16s currently in Ukraine "for operational security reasons." On December 7, Zelensky said his country had received its second shipment of F-16s from Denmark, describing this as "an example of leadership in defending lives that sets Denmark apart." "The aircraft from the first batch, provided by the Danish people, are already intercepting Russian missiles, saving our people's lives and our infrastructure," Zelensky posted to X. "Now, our air shield has been further strengthened. If all partners were as determined, Russian terror could already have been made impossible."

How many jets have been delivered to Ukraine? I heard lots of announcements when countries offered them.

Ding ding ding. For the most part, research stops at research. As @TwiceHorn would attest, that doesn't help consumers. Ideas need to be developed and then commercialized. Those commercialized products are what we consume. There are tons of good ideas out there. Only the few that are well-funded, developed, and commercialized make it to market. -

Wrong, but I worked in the biotech industry for 15 years in licensing, business development, marketing management and consulting. So, I have enough experience to be considered an expert in university technology transfer, basic research, biotech companies, pharmaceutical companies and immunohistochemistry diagnostic companies (not much experience in medical equipment). And now I have 15 years of experience in patient care. Just since we are discussing the issue, besides being a consumer, what is your experience? -

And they kind of screw the developing universities. Univ. of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin together pretty much invented modern MRI machines. GE, Siemens, and Toshiba license some of the tech and steal some of the tech and none of them enforce the patents. More important, GE throws some money to the researchers and the researchers keep the university from enforcing the patents. -
Over the weekend, a savage massacre in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, resulted in at least 184 deaths, highlighting the escalating instability in a nation already beset by rampant gang violence for several years. According to reports, the murders targeted elderly inhabitants in the Cité Soleil district and were allegedly commanded by Monel “Mikano” Felix, the Wharf Jérémie gang’s leader. The National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH) reports that Felix sought advice from a voodoo priest when his child fell ill and eventually died on Saturday. The priest allegedly pinned the blame on the senior citizens in the area, accusing them of witchcraft. As per the RNDDH, “Felix ordered the killings, and at least 110 people aged 60 and older were slaughtered over the weekend, many with machetes and knives.”

Or another way to look at it is that the US consumer pays for the world's medical advances. -

A 6 Tesla MRI machine is up to $7M and a stent can cost up to $5000ea and an anesthesia workstation is probably $40K and a home dialysis machine is $45K. But the simple stuff like sutures aren't that cheap either. -

We are talking recent history, right? Because sure you could talk about Louis Pasteur and the Pasteur Institute, but that was many years ago. Now we are talking about multinational companies with headquarters in places like Basel and London and Paris and New York. But if you look at the revenue of any of them, half their worldwide revenue comes from the US. And that equates to about 80% of their profits. And the biotech industry is even more US centric. University research is a little more diverse, but NIH funding pretty much dwarfs research funding from other countries at $45 billion. So yeah, the development of the worlds' medical advances are mainly derived from the US. Perhaps you should do some research before arguing with medical experts. Jesus, the arrogance of some attorneys is breathtaking. -

Profits in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries leads to patient well-being. Without money, there is some research but there is no development and no commercialization. -

Bevo replied to Bevo's topic in Daily Texan
This is false. Pharmaceuticals and advanced medical devices exist because of the US patent system, US investors in biotech, the money the US government and companies throw into basic research and the profits that companies can achieve in the US by developing medical improvements and breakthroughs. -

Every day occurrence. And often the amount we receive is much, much less than the cost of staff. People generally don't care about the cost to keep the doors open, to pay for a doctor's time, to pay for schooling and to pay for equipment. A lot of societal changes have led to this although declining US wealth IMO is the largest contributor. -

7 hr 42 min ago Photo emerges of suspect, who is named by US-based activist group as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen From CNN staff Reuters news agency released this image of the suspect, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, sourcing it from a US-based activist group called RAIR Foundation USA. RAIR Foundation/Reuters A photograph has emerged of a man identified as the suspect in an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which killed at least five people and injured more than 200 on Friday. The Reuters news agency released the image of the suspect, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, sourcing it from a US-based activist group RAIR Foundation USA. The suspect has not been formally identified by authorities, but German media has named him as Taleb A. RAIR Foundation USA says it previously conducted an interview with al-Abdulmohsen on December 12. The statement from RAIR Foundation USA, shared by Reuters, said al-Abdulmohsen had presented himself as someone assisting “ex-Muslim refugees fleeing persecution from Saudi Arabia.” RAIR Foundation describes itself as a grassroots, activist organization, “leading a movement to reclaim our Republic from the network of individuals and organizations waging war on Americans, our Constitution, our borders and our Judeo-Christian values.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9-year-old among 5 dead in Christmas market attack; suspect appeared to express anti-Islamic views From CNN staff A police officer walks through the shuttered Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 21. A police officer walks through the shuttered Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 21. Omer Messinger/Getty Images A nine-year-old child is among the five people who died in a car-ramming in a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday, according to officials. Authorities have arrested a suspect, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, who is thought to have been a former Muslim who renounced his faith and became increasingly anti-Islam. The deadly incident comes less than two months before the country heads to the polls for snap elections, as debate over Germany’s migration policy rages. Here’s what you need to know: Five dead: At least five people died in the attack, including a 9-year-old child, Magdeburg city official Ronni Krug said in a media address on Saturday. Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed over 200 injured, including around 40 with such severe injuries that they remain “very worried” about them. Scholz described the figure as “unbelievable.” Suspect’s identity: German media reported the suspect’s name as “Taleb A.” — following the German convention of withholding the full name of suspects in criminal cases. Horst Walter Nopens, head of the Magdeburg Public Prosecutor’s office confirmed that first name. Reuters, meanwhile, released an image of the suspect and identified him as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, sourcing his full name and image from the US-based activist group RAIR Foundation USA. Anti-Islamic sentiments: A motive for the attack is still to be determined. Nopens said during Saturday’s media briefing that the suspect may have been unhappy with Germany’s treatment of Saudi Arabian refugees. On social media, he appeared to have expressed anti-Islam views and support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). He’s believed to have worked to help Saudis, especially women, leave his home country. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser described him as an “Islamophobe.” Surprising profile: A prominent German terror expert has expressed surprise at the suspect’s profile. “After 25 years in this ‘business,’ you think nothing could surprise you anymore. But a 50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim who lives in East Germany, loves the AfD (Alternative for Germany) and wants to punish Germany for its tolerance towards Islamists — that really wasn’t on my radar,” expert Peter Neumann said. Saudi warnings: Saudi Arabia sent multiple warnings to German authorities about the suspect, two sources with knowledge of the communication told CNN. A source said all of the warnings were ignored. Saudi Arabia considers him a fugitive and requested his extradition from Germany between 2007 and 2008, a source said, adding that German authorities refused, citing concerns for the man’s safety should he return. Saudi authorities alleged that the man had harassed Saudis abroad who opposed his political views. Scholz visits Magdeburg: Scholz traveled to the site of the Christmas market attack on Saturday, where he met with locals and paid tribute to victims by laying flowers. Speaking during the media briefing, he called the attack “awful” and stressed that Germans must “stick together as a country and not let hatred divide us.” Bolstered security: Berlin is increasing the police presence at the city’s Christmas markets following the attack. “The security authorities are in close contact with each other. As a precaution, the Berlin police will increase their presence at the city’s Christmas markets,” the city’s Interior Minister Iris Spranger said. The Magdeburg market has now been shut down. >>>>>>>>>>>>> 9-year-old among 5 dead in Christmas market attack; suspect appeared to express anti-Islamic views From CNN staff A police officer walks through the shuttered Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 21.
