Went to the sink just now to rinse out a bowl. Saw there was a lemon in the drain that hadn't gone down all the way. I guess Mrs CL was trying to air out the disposal. No problem. I'll turn it on and run it for a few seconds. Damn thing wouldn't even turn. Just buzzed. Didn't take long to figure out why.11 points

Let me add some insight on a few things...and I apologize for the length of the reply, too many words, etc. Fields - his sister will attend Georgia to play softball and that family has been all Georgia FOREVER. His transfer is strictly playing time related and the racism cry is just an excuse. Rising and Thompson (and possibly Overshown) - welcome to a new generation of athlete and kid. This portal stuff will be the worst thing to happen to college athletics in a long time. Some will call it entitled, and to a degree it is, but this generation of kids is used to instant gratification, in all facets of life. Patience is a word that does not exist in this generations vocabulary. The Portal - I have pretty intimate knowledge with it and how it works. I can tell you that currently, in one small female NCAA D1 sport, there are 160ish players on the portal, today. That is for a non-revenue, no life after college, female sport. I can't imagine what Football, Basketball and Baseball look like. Here are some facts on how the portal works: A student-athlete does NOT have to inform their coach of an intent to transfer. They can walk into the compliance office and request to be put on the portal. Once that request is made, the compliance office has 48 hours to put the student-athletes name on the portal. Once the student-athlete requests to be put into the portal, all contact from any sport coach to that athlete is cut-off. So in this case, no football coach can contact Rising or Thompson directly. That athlete can contact coaches, that is ok, and a coach can request a meeting with the student-athlete but it has to be done through the compliance office and a compliance office official must be present during the meeting. This is assuming the player went in without telling the coach. If the coach was notified prior, the student-athlete can waive the no contact rule. Once on the portal, a student-athlete can be contacted by any coach in the country...it's free reign. And every coach has access to the portal. Yes, a student-athlete can start taking visits, including official ones, if they have any remaining from their original recruitment. Remember, you only get 5 paid official visits. Student-athletes on the portal are not required to sit out a year automatically. The conference transfer rules will be applied to the student-athlete...coaches may NOT individualized transfer rules to be applied to individual student-athletes. Once a student-athlete enters the portal, their future financial aid cutoff. So, if you do it before the beginning of the spring semester, you will not be on scholarship in the spring. So essentially Rising and Thompson have forfeited their scholarships for the spring. Also, your access to athletic facilities, trainers, etc. is immediately terminated. The coach from the sport can ask for that sanction to be waived - so if Rising and Thompson went to Herman and gave him a heads up, and he's ok with it, he can tell compliance that he would still like for them to have access to athletic facilities and such. This is how they can be currently practicing with the team while on the portal. Athletes on the portal do not fall under the same recruiting guidelines as first time recruits when it comes to contact period, dead period, quiet period, signing period, etc. They can be contacted any time after their name shows up on the portal. Football is the only sport that has a set game number to determine a redshirt. All other sports operate as any participation constitutes using a year of eligibility. If you're going to redshirt in non-Football sports it has to be declared before the season begins. The shirt can be pulled at any time, but one can not be applied after the start of the season. Hope this helps give a little bit of clarity on how this thing works. I have no idea how this thing came about, but it really is an awful thing to have right now. I know that several sports have already proposed legislation to change the portal drastically, or to get rid of it all together. But those things only happen every two years, so this will be the model for at least two years.8 points

Except he is a bad ass. He came into Cleveland and immediately made them relevant. 2 playoff trips in 3 years at OU. Lulz at "he'll make some plays" do totally discount his talent. But I get it. You are a scorned Tech fan who saw Mayfield go to OU and light it up. Same as Aggy who scoffs at Kyler Murray. Don't blame your shitty team for not taking advantage like Aggy couldn't with Murray. Off the field? That one singular incident? Big deal. But I get it. This is a Horns site. So any QB from OU no one will admit is good. You had people on here say Kyler Murray isn't good. Lmao.6 points

Seriously. We’re through the looking glass on fucking absurdity. He’s run off anyone remotely sane/not evil. Those he didn’t run off have been indicted/convicted. He wants to fire the Fed Chair. He is creating the swampiest swamp ever. He is taking every step possible to enrich himself at our expense. He is entangled in a criminal conspiracy on multiple levels and directions. And we still have two years of this left. We’re all gonna die, you know that, right?6 points

I'm not interested in what you've discussed with other posters, and it's not my responsibility to take that into account. There isn't a single comment that I've made towards you that's an "insult." I can back everything I've said. You cannot, and that's the biggest difference between the two of us. You just asserted, baselessly to be sure, that what I told you was "garbage," and now you're pretending to be indignant about "insults?" That's hypocrisy of the highest order. Immigration policy isn't made to avenge actions made by single individuals. And even with those illegal crossings, they're done in a variety of ways that could still circumvent a border wall. That's precisely what you and your ilk cannot understand. I mentioned before that drug runners use ramps and t-shirt canons to get around the fence. Do you know what they also use? Tunnels. And these things aren't done at border crossing towns like Laredo or Juarez, either. They're done in the relatively unpopulated areas where there's no one to stop them, and neither could a wall. I really don't think you understand that this wall that Trump is proposing is purely symbolic and functionally would do zilch regarding immigration. Again, there's only one reason that he's acting like such a petulant child at this moment w/r/t funding the wall: because he knows that he's fucking done as far as re-election is concerned if he shows up in November 2020 without even a hint of a wall, which was the cornerstone of his shit-for-brains candidacy, and he will not get that wall if this issue isn't voted on before January because there's no way in hell the new Democratic House would even for a moment consider it. His wanting the wall has absolutely nothing to do with immigration. Hell, nothing that he's proposed about immigration is about immigration. That you don't understand this is absolutely shocking. You're vastly overstating what we give them in aid. By the State Department's own admission, we transmitted $2.6 billion to Central America over a 4-year period. That's a paltry amount. Here's how that translates: 1) Their definition of "Central America" is very literal: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize, Panama, Costa Rica. 2) Those 7 countries have a combined population of just a little over 48 million people. 3) 2.6 billion in 4 years=650 million per year 4) 650million/48million=$13.54 per person per year. So to you, sending each person in Central America just enough for a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a carton of milk per year is a "strategy?" The average American thinks that its government spends 26% of the total budget on foreign aid. Are you one of those people? That's...handy. You're admitting that it gives them an incentive, but by your own admission, you don't want anything to be done to the person that gives the incentive. Well if you don't do that, how is that incentive supposed to disappear? And they, like you, would be absolutely wrong if they were to make such a statement. And again, you'd be wrong. This, just like the Drug War, isn't about "feelings." This is about showing what you know to be concordant with reality. If you can't show it, you don't know it. You've not demonstrated a single, meaningful factual observance that would in any way bolster the case for such a wall. You say it's something we "require," and you've not demonstrated one actual reason why. All you've done is lie, misdirect, misunderstand, project and emote. If you don't give me a reason to believe you, then I have no reason to believe you.6 points

I like that you use specifics when you want to and vague when you are embarrassed. You like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, so you call them out by name. You know you can't say DeVos, Pruitt, Zienke, Carson, Whitaker, Sessions, Ross, Tillerson, Pompeo, Kelly, for various reasons (criminally inept, fired, party hack, hated since inception, put in the role because of the word 'urban', what have you) so you just say "uh . . . strong conservative credentials". And of course people develop their positions by party. Particularly, the R party. Do you like tariffs? Do you think you should be close to Russia? Do you hate NATO? The EU? Do you think we can regulate imports from Canada based on national security reasons? Do you think morality from the leader is important? Do you think the FBI, CIA, NSA are in league against the country? I guarantee that regardless of what you thought 2 years ago, you are in agreement with the party now.4 points

Wow. These people are 100% delusional. And what’s worse: they’re spreading this insane cult shit at Christmas time, when we should all be celebrating the good news of Jesus Christ’s imminent return to vindicate the faithful by bringing forth the Kingdom of God. Sad!4 points

It took trump this long to figure out Mattis had insulted him so he’s gonna punish Mattis and all the rest of us for that. His ignorance in not recognizing the insult, ego and malice in correcting that perceived wrong, are all on complete display here. His narcissism is so great that if congress doesn’t do something soon trump is going to try to destroy the world rather than allow it to destroy him. He is that mentally ill. Too many people in denial. Except some of his evangelical supporters, who actually want that to happen.4 points
