  1. Dumb. Flight, fight or freeze. You only take option 2 if option 1 is unavailable.
  2. I would let it breath a bit. It’s likley that he’s a white nationalist nut job, but, with the proliferation of hoaxes going on these days, I’d wait to see if that we’re actually the case.
  3. Ahem, it’s on the boarder across from a crime ridden city. Probably a strong presence there.
  4. Military pilot. I could see automation taking over in the next 20-30 years.
  5. It can be, but that’s not necessarily true. Again, seniority means the ability to pick your schedules.
  6. You have to spend a ton of money learning? Usually. It was relatively cheap when I trained. Maybe $20-25k. Takes many years to start getting paid? It did. The current environment has changed because of mandatory retirement, but you're still gonna take your lumps at several places before landing the dream job. Some will never land it. You gotta have connections to get a job? It's a small world. You have to network and not piss people off. It also helps a fk ton if you were in the military, have female reproductive parts or an excess of melanin. But that's because SJW's have infested HR departments and is true anywhere. Those are three big issues. Time away from home is another. Working a lot of red eyes, weekends and holidays until you get senior, and then working a lot of red eyes, weekends and holidays at the next job and or dream job until you get senior. And generally having a pretty variable schedule that does not necessarily align with the rest of the working world. My wife, for example, also has a very variable schedule and we spend a small fortune each month on childcare. I went one stretch where I wasn't home for Thanksgiving 11 years in a row, and missed 10 out of 11 Christmases. Stuff like that. It's a pretty kick ass gig once you land at the dream job be it a major airline, fractional/corporate or big freight. Until then its pretty much an ass kicking with a nice window office. And I'm not sure someone starting today will necessarily end up doing the same job we're doing now. Or even leave the ground for that matter.
  7. Kyler Murray once sat in Lincoln Riley's office for 3 hours before Riley realized he wasn't just another dildo lying around. True story.
  8. Frankly, given Delta’s large profit sharing checks and direct 401k contribution of 16%, I’d be shocked if a FO with just a few years of time on property wasn’t easily making 200k +. Even the most junior CA’s at places like Spirit or Frontier, airlines with the lowest contractually obligated compensation rates, are making well north of $200k, and their FO’s who’ve made it past first year pay are making $120-150k supposing they work a full schedule. Thats major airline compensation. Not regional.
  9. Mostly a teetotaler I'm afraid.
  10. I think Hurts is being way overvalued as a passer. He’s neither particularly accurate or adroit at reading defenses after the snap. I’m sure LR will use his offensive genius to dial up some great calls and play designs, but at the end of the day the QB has to get the ball to the WR often enough to make those calls pay off. I see a lot of near misses, and not so near misses for that matter, in OU’s future with JH at the helm. Again, I foresee them being a lot like our late 03/ early 04 offense. Talented but young on the line, nice skill pieces all over the field, able to run the ball at times and struggling mightily to pass the ball at times while hoping the QB scramble saves their bacon. They’ll be really hot when their on and pretty meh about 60+% of the time. Think about how different their season looks even if Hurts manages to produce 3/4’s of Murray’s production. 3100 yards passing, 750 yards rushing and 34 TD’s is a helluva season. And they’re likely a 4 loss team last year with those numbers under center. Granted, TTU and WVU are probably cycling down, but BU’s and ISU’s ascension probably continues while the other conference teams outside of UT hold serve.
  11. Their offense will likely look a lot like our late 03 to early 04 offense. Their defense will continue to resemble microwaved dog shit. I figured 9-4 on the season.
  12. That offense will run extremely hot and cold, mostly cold, with Hurts at QB. The vast majority of their scoring will come off of junk ball where broken plays lead to large QB rushes and busted coverages. Jalen Hurts is not a shadow of a fart of Murray as a passer though he is a formidable runner in his own fashion. I fully expect to see him replaced at some point in the season. Perhaps after Texas boat races them in the Cotton bowl. This is not the league you want to have to start a tepid, inaccurate QB who struggles to make quick reads post snap. Riley will earn his paycheck as an OC this year. I don’t care what he did at Alabama. They’re a CFP team even with Case McCoy taking snaps.
  13. I loved how Musberger segwayed into the commercial break with “The Horns dropping the hammer in Dallas” after Ogbannaya’s long run in the fourth led to a TD. If you watch the sideline just prior to the play you’ll see a UT WR, Kirkendall?, ask Major what the play is to which Major replies “C sweep”.
  14. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.
  15. I’m hoping this offense ends that streak in game one.
  16. I’m about tired of coaches with extended cases of PTSD.
  17. Hydration charts bruh Ehlinger wins the Heisman Fuck Oklahoma
  18. Netjets Global Express
  19. They could have tossed her a bone and let her jump like a porpoise ahead of the carrier’s bow or something.
  20. I don’t think it was a lack of trust leading to turtling. I don’t think Tom fully understood, or maybe still doesn’t understand, that the traditional rules of playing with a lead in this conference were skewed by the fact that the league was chock full of hyper offenses that didn’t give a shit about TOP, and who were looking to score at every opportunity. He made some mention of it in the press conference so perhaps it’s starting to take hold. He’s going to be aided this year by the fact that KK is out at Tech, Holgerson is gone at WVU, Klieman still runs a Jurassic offense and ISU and TCU don’t run the hyper spread. That leaves OSU and OU who doesn’t have a very hyper spread friendly QB in Hurts. So his original philosophy ought to age better this season. Herman isn’t alone in having to adjust to Big XII offensive football by a long shot. But he does need to continue to grow his philosophies in light of the unique challenges this conference has at times presented nearly every Saturday.
  21. I think you’re seriously overestimating the attention span of the general public, and maybe even inviting backlash from folks tired of the same incessant talking point which will likely come across as annoying white noise. I personally think that’s a losing hand moving into the next presidential election. Maybe best to take that course of action, semi low profile it and let it be a talking point/zinger for the democratic nominee. That 30-40% of the country that suffers from a malaise of conviction with regard to political belief will likely never be interested enough in any of this to dig into it let alone willingly tolerate listening to it for the next year and a half. It sucks that that is where the deciding portion of the electorate is at, but I feel the D’s have largely shot their wad on the issue, and that Trump can claim the PR victory innocent or not. Who and how he can be beaten would be my strategy moving forward. The felon gum beating and mental masturbation is counter productive to the end goal. Which is to take back control of the WH. At the end of the day, and at the end of his presidency he’s going to walk away scott free. And no, that doesn’t mean I think he’s remotely innocent on all the accusations.
  22. Well, you, much like a bartender, could be held liable for letting someone who got wasted on the plane drive away and have an accident etc... I called into the office once for a kid, 8-10 maybe, who absconded with all the vodka from the plane. We also had to designate a pax as the cabin server and trust them to not serve to underage individuals. So there’s definitely some responsibility. But you have to understand that prostitutes and drugs are on private jets all the time. The pilots have to take the passengers word with regard to what’s in the baggage unless you see something suspicious in which case you investigate. And you don’t ask questions about the passengers either unless there’s something really amiss as well. I can name a number of folks celebrities and businessmen who were absolutely dragging hookers along for the weekend. But, there’s likely a difference between being part of a service with thousands of contracts, and plausible deniability with regard to who and what is onboard, and being personal pilots flying underage girls to private islands on the regular to party with dirty old men.
  23. If Romance Taylor showed us anything it’s that o’s and a’s are interchangeable.
  24. I wonder if they group of illegals caught in military uniform complete with name tags etc. is connected to this.
