    I don’t think you really want to go through all of the stupid shit he has said one by one. It will not work out well for you. There are instances where it is spun, there are a lot more instances where he actually said the dumb shit that has been quoted just as it was said.

    If you read the whole thing, it’s clear he is saying that lawmakers shouldn’t be sending people to war when they aren’t willing to go be put in harm’s way.

    The conversation was on disinformation and people eating up the misinformation that is fed to them. Bringing that into the discussion where it was said to put him in the bullseye of their campaign coming out of the debate isn’t misinformation, no matter how you want to argue context. It’s no different than any other war time reference used by either side. Interestingly enough, he also apologized for the use of the terminology which hasn’t happened on the other side of aisle. You could at least stay on track.

    You do see that there is a difference between direct quotes from a presidential candidate/elect and others saying this is what one side or the other will do, don’t you? The horse’s mouth is a much better source of information than accusations by either side and the “horse” is on the record saying the things I mentioned.

    Interesting take there based on the amount of BS Trump injected into his campaign (eating pets, FEMA/immigrants, etc) that the lapdogs ate up. If you don’t think pricing/futures in the construction industry is already being impacted, then you don’t deal with the industry. The odd thing about the industry is they have had record years post Covid. I work with 80+ contractors and I can’t think of one that hasn’t had record sales/earnings during that period. They are all as red as they come too, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. There were already signs through the summer that it was checking up especially in certain industries.

    I just gave you actual conversations with GC’s and subs I had and what they are seeing with prices and futures, G650 is giving you actual views from the industry and what they are doing on pricing as well. It would be much simpler just to say you’re good with it, you don’t care than ignoring the actual impact on how these things play out.

    Let’s say you are right for the moment and the story is fiction, in your mind does that mean the storyline can’t play out that way? I talked to my largest GC yesterday and they are concerned about material costs with the level of imported items in the industry. My largest electrical sub has been loading up on wire this fall to try and mitigate the increase coming there because it’s all imported.

    Do you have an actual point to make or are you just trying to run up the imaginary internet dig scoreboard you keep in your head?

    Lo-fucking-l at the “what if he does a good job” people. There will most certainly be things that he will do that will be a net positive, but it will be at the expense of many other things along the way. He has no reason not to unleash everything he has said he will try and do, because he only has 4 years (hopefully). There are no guardrails in place this time around, it’s open season on immigrants, people that are different than you and I, the environment, the judicial system, the alphabet soup of agencies, etc.

    It has been a weird day. We live in a Republican locked area, it’s as red as it gets and people are actually celebrating. All I hear from clients and people around me is positivity and excitement. We are not political. People know my stance, but I’m not talking about it all day. My two daughters are distraught today. One is looking at countries that might be worth going to school in and the other is talking about changing majors because she doesn’t see a future in public policy as a women. I guess that means we raised them right from a moral perspective, but it’s still a hard lesson for them in how shitty people really are.

    My oldest sent me this text along with a few others: “It is that bad it shows every girl everywhere that she can’t be successful in the face of a rapist felon man.” My only response is that they still vote for him. It’s crazy.

    Trump’s America is who we have become, that much is clear now. That in and of itself brings on this sense of hopelessness I have this morning. There was hope that the next generation wasn’t as bad as the outgoing generation and they would help save us. Yeah, nope. There was hope that with defeat, the GOP would be able to move on from Trumpism and maybe move a different direction. Yeah, nope. Trump may have a Senate, House, and SC and more than half the voters supporting his plan. Hopeless, that’s what I see for the future. My oldest daughter is already exploring semester abroad programs, she will likely look further at more permanent solutions.

    Put a deposit down on both, we’ll see what they actually end up doing with them.

    This one was in MS, an older guy that really had no business flying. I’ve briefly read up on boom strike, but the bigger issue I have seen and heard about has been inexperience related. Clipped power lines and trees are a significant cause of fatal Robinson crashes. However, I’m with you, I’m not getting in one. It was more due to the fact I don’t trust any of the guys I know as pilots than anything else though. One of my contractor clients flies one regularly to job sites. He had 40 hours of flight training before he was turned loose. He was already instrument rated on turboprops which may have played into the time requirement, but that seemed like a very short training window to me.

    The main issue with Robinson’s are that they are cheap and you only need limited training hours to fly one, so too many people are flying them that have no business/experience flying them. When something goes wrong, they are done. That plus they manage to clip a lot of power lines and trees with them and that gets reported as a Robison crash the same as any other. I have a number of clients that have them and only have one that technically crashed his but he really just landed in his pond behind his house a couple weeks after getting it. Insurance people were not amused.

    To be completely fair, isn’t everyone posting also SEC at this point whether they like it or not?
  17. Brew
    They were clearly back on by the start of the next play based on the fact no one had to remove headsets.
  18. Brew
    This is the way. It will be interesting to see how many undefeated NC’s we see going forward as teams start to take the NFL approach to game planning and managing playing time. Better to try to be set up to enter December playing well and healthy with some plays in your back pocket instead of throwing everything against the wall for an October win.

    From the timing and game circumstance, I would think the non call against the GA DE who jumped the snap would have been more of an issue. However, they were not really calling the lines for much of anything whether it was false starts, holding, etc. There were a couple of facemasks missed both directions. It felt loose overall which is what most fans would prefer I would think over what we got in the TN/AL game. They were calling everything and then clearly missing delay of game calls.

    Watch the kickoff return again, there was a clear hold. If you watched the broadcast, they replayed it 2-3 times. You can debate the lack of calls on other holds, but calling that one egregious is ridiculous. The other call was egregious and was overturned. If you go visit a GA board they are all going on about the officials and how they favored TX. Seems to be the only thing fans agree on, the officials always favor the other team and are in their pockets.
  21. Brew
    The complete lack of acknowledging the TX RT holding pretty constantly is kind of amazing. If everyone is going to keep going on about GA holding, you have to at least acknowledge the refs weren’t exactly throwing flags on anyone for holding. This place spends more time bitching about officiating than actually watching the games sometimes I think. If refs are one sided then it’s a good time complain, they weren’t last night.
  22. Brew
    They showed a replay of it a couple minutes later during the broadcast, it came from the official on the sideline further up the field. He launched it.
  23. Brew
    Kind of interesting all the comments on the fans throwing trash on the field. I seem to remember a TN game a couple years ago where the fans trashed the field and a number of people in that thread went off about how trashy (no pun intended) the TN fans and SEC fans in general were. Fan interruption should be a delay of game on the home team.
  24. Brew
    You should probably watch the TX RT a little more. Maybe take a look at 85 on that run back. Quit pretending like holding is being called any differently in either side.
  25. Brew
    So you’re saying the corruption caused them to make the call the first time, then it drug on so long they decided it was too obvious and backed down? Seems reasonable.
