Itās not like this shit hasnāt been going on for years. What do you think Guitars and Cadillacs is about?- Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds

The controlled burn thing is a bit of a lark. It's hard to control burn in residential areas, because (waives hand).....Houses. The goat/brush clearing is actually a significant point, but again: you are talking 100 mph Santa Anna Winds in a defacto desert area, following on the heels of an irregularily wet season. Brush clearing on a mega basis is expensive. Texas had a week long power outage because.....it was "too expensive" to insulate the natural gas lines. Control burns work well in rural areas, but believe it or not, in addition to regulations, there is actually an industrial forest fire fighting complex that actively lobbies against controlled burns. Because 'murica.- NFL Black Monday Thread/Coaching Carousel
Totally. The owners would love to see Davis sell to a well capitalized ownership group. That's based on an a forbes estimate from his wiki profile, and I don't know how much I entirely trust those. Sheila Hamp is a Ford Heiress. Davis' worth is the team. Dan Snyder was reported to be worth billions before he sold the team, but the NFL had to lend him money to buy out his partners.- NFL Black Monday Thread/Coaching Carousel
The Raiders are absolutely terrible, but they are also by far and away the poorest NFL franchise, in owner personal wealth terms. As a throwback to the old AFL, the Davis family made their money AS team owners. He's probably the only non-billionaire at the league meetings. It doesn't excuse their terrible decision making, but it does provide context for why they are consistently stupid in almost every aspect of the team's management. Because Al Davis literally talked his way into the Raiders organizational structure, acted as coach, scout, gm, etc during their AFL years, and leveraged that as a salaried employee into a minority stake, and eventually ownership, I suspect in addition to lack of resources, his son and current owner, Mark Davis is simply not able to separate the Football Team from the Family Business in a way that even Jerruh would find confusing.- Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds
I read an interesting article about the Maui fire and the lessons they learned from it about house fire prevention from the few residences that survived: https://www1.wsrb.com/blog/wildfire-in-maui-what-can-we-learn Connecting wooden fences, composite roofs, and shrubbery around the base of your house is a bad idea in fire prone areas. Although when you are facing 100mph winds, I think it really just comes down to luck.- NFL Black Monday Thread/Coaching Carousel
It's going to be awesome when they trade up to #1 so they can get Travis Hunter.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
He's such a desperate, grasping attention whore.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
It's all fun and games until he's standing on the 50 yard line in November and the University is naming part of the Stadium or something after him. Which is clearly why he's back, now that UNC has definitively kicked him to the curb forever.- Jay Hartzell has entered the Transfer Portal
This. AAU is about your ability to bring in big research dollars and members of the National Academy. Oregon nearly lost their AAU status a while back before Shoe Daddy dumped a bunch of money into the STM programs to lure federal dollars and top tier talent.- Trumpās America
Yeah, the Dems will need to be selective with the filibuster. Heās going to be calling for its end by this summer. Iāll wager Murkowski is a hard no, but after that? š¤·āāļø- Trumpās America
I guess Tuberville never played San Diego State, huh?- Trumpās America
Yup. Itās easy pickings for Trump. I canāt decide whether heād be willing to take on a much more complex operation for the Canal.- Trumpās America
Narrator: None of them. Somebody should see if they still have LBJ's shower assembly somewhere down in the White House basement.- Trumpās America
We are definitely going to invade Greenland. Thatās as good as done.- On what subject should you be considered Surly's resident expert?
I guess technically for Congress and how it works, but that more or less is the same as outhouse maintenance.- On what subject should you be considered Surly's resident expert?

Since this site is nothing but @hitbyatrain socks, arenāt we just nominating ourselves?- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Yeah, Oregon struggled all season to get their defense adjusted to opponent. They almost always did, but it meant they rarely jumped out to a big early lead. That tendency really bit them in the ass when OSU couldnāt do anything wrong in the first quarter, and then it just snowballed from there. The Texas Defense is a bunch of pipe hitting MFers. tOSU is not the 2001 Hurricanes. For me, if Good Quinn Ewers shows up, the Horns have an excellent chance of winning this game.- U.S. Surgeon General Issues New Advisory on Link Between Alcohol and Cancer Risk
I had to basically give up beer, because I have gout (thanks, Mom!). Wife and I both started cutting back on hard liqour a few years ago, because we just couldnāt handle the next day. Weāve been fairly heavy wine people for years, but sheās on meds and has to cut back. So we are in Dry January. I feel better, but we go to bed fucking early.- Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado
I think people that havenāt seen it make assumptions that itās some simplistic War on Drugs movie. Itās also Villeneuveās first big film, Iām not sure some film nerds have gone back to see it making the above assumption.- 2025 Rose Bowl - Ohio State vs. Oregon
