  1. Late quote bump, but have you thought about trying to make yourself closer to 40 with ~15 years experience? At least on your resume. drop the oldest experience and remove years from your education list. i understand that people are proud of their accomplishments and experience but the name of the game is earning a paycheck not highlighting a server upgrade back in 2002. Don’t flat out lie but don’t broadcast that you’re 50. Make them assume you’re 40. Im 56 and my resume wouldn’t have anything before 2008, which is when I started at one particular company. And when I’m interviewing a candidate, I seriously don’t care about any experience older than 10 years ago. It’s irrelevant for many positions especially individual contributors up to mid level mgrs.
  2. When new head coaches sign a contract with a school, are there constraints that prevent them from immediately fielding or accepting offers from other schools? Like a 1-2 year period that they can’t leave without a massive buyout owed to the school. In other words could someone like a Penn St even go after Kiffin today? (This is an example not saying that is a real possibility.)
  3. Wish this was an open session but word will quickly leak what he says. I want to understand how drug operations were continuing after the videos we’ve seen of the boat becoming very inoperable.
  4. Trump will pardon him and claim the complainers are anti Americans and want drugs in the country.
  5. But we were told that the program, including finances, were never better.
  6. We've learned that a SCOTUS ruling can be overturned. I don't think there is any reason to believe that a President is immune from a bribery charge. Perhaps not while in office but definitely afterwards. Now perhaps the Supreme Court could say otherwise. Did they specifically say that a ex-President couldn't be held accountable via a criminal prosecution after they leave office?
  7. All of his pardons and commutations should be reviewed by the next Dem admin, and decide if there were any illegal activity behind the pardon. If so, the pardon should be considered invalid. And I would argue that any questionable pardon should include jailing the person while it’s quickly adjudicated. overall we need laws defining that a pardon cannot involved any financial benefit for the president or anyone in the administration, either directly or indirectly. Or honesty, I think a judge could rule on this as well.
  8. And the sovereign citizen says this from behind a closed window, refusing to lower it.
  9. Williams had a drop off in production this year (as of now) so he might be discontented at Bama. Only 4 TDs vs 8 last year. He could be promised more targets and $$$ but it could also lead to playing for a 8-4 team and no playoff.
  10. who would have guessed that a country that can build a city overnight can also have questionable safety standards.
  11. Does anyone not believe that Hegseth ordered the military to kill everyone on the Venezuelan boats, including a second strike to take out any survivors? I would actually be surprised if someone demonstrated that Hegseth was told there were survivors and didn't order a second strike.
  12. I don't know if the student reporter was the first to throw "you can't turn a hoe into a housewife" onto Kiffin, but that is going to follow Kiffin at every turn. The best part is that he's now shown that it bothers him so the rest of the SEC is turn it up to an 11. And forget it just being signs at Gameday, he will hear it personally from strangers.
  13. Everyone in the GOP is refusing to comment on the Honduran president pardon (has it actually happened?) They all recognize how preposterous it is that we're killing smugglers but willing to free someone from the top of the drug orgs.
  14. Alina's case to stay as the NJ US Attorney has been rejected by an appeals court. Now it will be up to the Supreme Court to allow her to stay or every case that she touched or authorized is at risk.
  15. Tangentially related: my social media algorithm has locked in that I love watching videos of people arguing their rights to police. The worst (best) are the sovereign citizens who break out printed supreme court cases to educate the police officer on the side of the road why they don't have to produce an ID.
  16. Guarantee that Kash has googled, "How to stand like a man."
  17. top 3? come on man. you can't really say that with a straight face. I will give you top 10. Do you even watch college football? And talent per capita means nothing like I wrote. Hawaii and DC are high up on the per capita lists but it's just playing with stats. Yes, I agree LA produces a lot of talent but there's zero barrier to someone leaving the state. I imagine that many of the NFL players from Louisiana attended LSU or Louisiana Tech but I bet the majority attended school elsewhere.
  18. I struggle to accept the idea that LSU has this mythical edge because they’re the only large program in a state that has talent. I’ve seen a chart floating around that shows NFL players per state capita with LA at the top. Wtf does that even mean. The same chart shows DC is a hotbed of talent but should Georgetown be a top team in D1? yes, I bet that some mommas and daddies want their son to be nearby in BR and all of their relatives can see them play, But this isn’t 1950 where parents and relatives can’t easily travel. Boosters can effectively hand money to parents now to cover the costs. And it’s not like the other SEC school are far away to begin with. finally every coach will remind recruits that Kiffin has a history of walking away from players while he demands loyalty. kiffin will be gone within 5.
  19. Looks like they understood the election consequences but their neighbors didn’t. Thanks for researching.
  20. Small (200 people) Virginia town loses its only health clinic due to Trump budget cuts. CNN link I can’t quickly find the town election results totals but the wider county of 77k went 75-25 Trump. They also recently voted in a Republican for their state rep over a Democrat physician. The Dem lost by 40 points.
  21. Classy getting drunk and arrested at your son and brothers game. They should look to cash out as quickly as possible because he will soon be forgotten. Maybe a kardashian type reality show on some low end network. Which really means they should have started 2 years ago.
  22. An Auburn win + Kiffin leaving OM would be chaotic. Then assuming UGA beats OM next week, the committee can use Kiffin leaving to keep them out of the playoffs even if that is completely unfair to the players. But then again they trusted Kiffin by going to OM.
  23. Pulled the trigger on a Blink outdoor system today with the Amazon specials. Decided to go with the non-subscription option and added a microsd card to keep the recordings. EDIT: first day review. Very simple set up and install. I am slightly disappointed that blink cameras only accept 2.4ghz WiFi when 5ghz has extended ranges. Two of my cameras are far enough where the WiFi is weak (according to Blink) so I had to connect the cameras using Blink’s XR tech (whatever that is) and it’s limited to 2 cameras only with that connection. For now, no additional cameras. I may test other configs of my WiFi antennas to see if that helps or even an WiFi extender. At night the infrared is reflecting off the house effectively blinding the night vision of my yard. I will need to change the camera position and angle so the house wall is not on camera.
  24. My bad about thinking Ole Miss already had 2 losses. I keep thinking they would be higher with only 1 loss.
  25. If Georgia beats Bama or Ole Miss in the SECCG, does Bama/Ole Miss get punished for a 3rd loss and fall behind us? I do think that a loss in a CG should be slightly different than a regular season loss but the committee can’t ignore that loss.
