Yes. Clinched the east last week. Losing tonight would tie us with Georgia, but we had, the head to head tiebreaker. Mullen seemed to think that LSU would roll over I guess.

Agreed, Mullen made some pretty shitty choices that gave LSU some life. How do you not take advantage of a depleted secondary?

Trask is putting up massive numbers without a stable of NFL receivers that are running away from people after the catch. Pitts is a freak but he has missed almost 3 games worth of time and Trask is still productive.

Very, plus this is the last home game and Pitts is gone to the NFL. It just makes no fucking sense to sit him the entire game. Get Trask and Pitts a bunch of scores, break LSU’s will, and then let Pitts sit after the half if you’re that worried about him. Mullen is a great offensive mind and can coach up a QB, but he still outsmarts himself on occasion.

Bama was going to fuck us up regardless, but at least lose a shoot out instead of rolling into that game with guys questioning everything. Even if they squeak this out, it raises a lot of questions heading into a game where you need to be dialed in. Oh, and as a bonus you’re probably cratering your QBs heisman shot.

Sitting him to keep him healthy for Bama. O line has been a problem all year, especially in the run game, but it was manageable. They shuffled things around for this game instead of going with what works.

Mullen deserves some heat for this shit. Sitting Pitts takes a weapon off the field and tells LSU you think they suck so bad that you can win without him. Then on top of that you experiment with a new O line configuration the week before Bama? Trask has been uncomfortable all night, and while the run game looks a little better, why are you fucking with your bread and butter? Trask’s arm is what got you here, who gives a fuck about balance.

Mixed bag, there was some quality skill position guys but the recruiting up to that point had prioritized stars over need. You're still seeing some of that this season. Our defense is a dumpster fire after losing a handful of guys. The O-line was especially bad, in depth and skill, when Mullen took over. The TE position pretty much didnt exist under butter teeth (Pitts was one of his first signings). That 2018 team had a great stable of backs, 2 are in the NFL now, and no one knew who they were because they were running into walls all season. Mullen has also relied pretty heavily on the transfers to smooth some of that over, we would have been turbo-fucked without some of the guys he found in the portal. Van Jefferson, Trevon Grimes, Jonathan Greenard, Justin Shorter, Brenton Cox Jr, the list goes on.

Mullen has been coaching in the southeast since 2005. He finally has Florida past the rebuild phase and is starting to compete. UF will be opening a new football athletics complex late next year. I don't see him leaving all that to start over in Texas, where he would have to build recruiting ties from scratch. You guys already went through this with Charlie, you need a guy that already has roots in Texas so he can hit the ground running IMO.

Yea, like you said, that’s every army base. A lot of the predatory businesses are run by former/retired soldiers that know how to lock soldiers into shitty deals. Bragg had a standing order that no one below E5 could sign a car loan without an E5ks approval. You have kids with a guaranteed paycheck that is backed by Uncle Sam. The gov’t will garnish his wages to pay off debt, so they just railroad these guys. They had kids getting bent over with 20+% car loans. I’ve been to most of the army bases, I think Bragg/Fayetnam is by far the most threatening place. Infantry is nuttier than squirrel shit, and you have all the SOC/former SOC guys hanging around town on top of that. Really dangerous guys to be around once they got some liquid courage into them.

Disagree, it’s more of a PR move than anything that will help with safety IMO. Taking the heads of flag officers without showing that they were not enforcing the army standards wrt sexual harassment is all for show. The Army creates the standards, the commanders ensure those standards are trained and enforced. If the division commander ensured that SHARP was being trained property and on schedule, didn’t do anything to restrict or modify the reporting avenues available, and didn’t put their thumb on the scales when it comes to The UCMJ, I don’t know what else you can ask that commander to do. Soldiers and civilians receive SHARP training. They are told that if you’re uncomfortable with reporting things through your chain of command there are other specific avenues for you take a report to. I think the completely unrelated deaths amplified the response. I think Guillen’s family amplified the response. I’m sure someone in her food chain deserved to get hammered over this if they sat on SH complaints (which I still haven’t seen any corroboration for outside of her family reporting it), but I don’t think it should have applied that far up the chain. Maybe the full report will provide some details on why I’m wrong, but from what I’ve read to date, this feels like public sacrifice to appease the torch and pitchfork mob.

Most low-end AVRs don't allow downmixing of audio. You can generally push 2ch PCM from a digital source to a second zone, you just cant push 5ch+ into those additional zones. Party mode on Yamahas converts the primary zone audio into 2ch PCM, which is what allows it to push the main zone into additional zones regardless of the input type. Denons are similar, without the benefit of that party mode conversion into 2ch PCM. If the audio into the main zone is 2ch PCM and you set the second zone to Source as the input, it will push that audio in zone 2. Internal streaming on AVRs can push to zone 2 while the main zone pushes a digital source. That's the best way to run a surround and zone 2 setup. Primary zone streams audio from an input (roku, chromecast, whatever) and zone 2 pushes the internal streamer (Heos or musiccast). That way you can run two different audio sources without having to nug with having to lose the main zone surround. If you want to sync the music across the main zone and zone 2, you just set the main zone to the internal streamer as well. Higher end AVRs will downmix audio, which allows surround in the main zone and stereo in the secondary zone. They are usually double or more in price of the low-end AVRs though, and again, if you want to push more than 2 zones, a true DA solution is probably the better way to go. There are audio extractors that will peel out audio from an HDMI signal and downmix it to 2ch PCM. The problem with that is audio delay between a display and a zone. A display has to process an HDMI signal into whatever it puts on the screen, and its usually slower than an AVR. Its the same problem as using the 2ch output on a cable or DTV box into the AVR or DA as a source for zone 2. The audio will be ahead of the display's audio that was processed slower, resulting in an echo effect if the speakers are in or near the same space. You're better off using an audio balun pulling audio from the display into the AVR or DA system so the audio is in sync.

If you're trying to push more than 2 zones of stereo you are moving into distributed audio amp territory. You can nug something together with an AVR and standalone amps probably, but that's what DA amps are built for, so why try to duplicate the wheel? The monoprice 10761 is about as cheap as you can get for a multizone, multisource (6/6) digital DA amp with control pads. It has become the go-to for the DIY crowd, and someone even built a mobile app to control it (requires additional hardware to convert the serial input to ethernet). There are analog solutions as well, but those get tricky because of impedance and power issues. For anyone wanting a set of stereo wireless speakers with great SQ, I'd advise looking at KEF's LSX or LS50. They have standard audio inputs as well, so you can push TV audio on top of all the streaming and casting options. I have access to dealer pricing on the LSX and most of their floor line if anyone wants a deal.

Just a guess, but I think they are reviewing the manufacturing data for the vaccine being mass produced for the public, not the vaccine that was produced for the trials. Pfizer has identified issues with raw material quality that caused them to reduce their initial delivery numbers. This is pretty standard quality control IMO.

The guys that buy the machines (should) have little input on the security side of things. If Dominion comes in and says “your IT group can’t apply any changes to our machines, can’t scan them for vulnerabilities, can’t capture any data for record keeping, and can’t capture and analyze network traffic to/from our machines” and they still bought it, that’s a different story. You don’t need access to their IP code to create a vulnerability report. You don’t need it to capture external actors causing problems either. RMF is painful to get implement and get rolling. It’s thorough when applied properly and is hard to work around without a concerted effort by a lot of people. It’s also a living process that changes in response to new vulnerabilities and system/network updates.

Correct, all machines and networks have vulnerabilities. That’s what RMF is used for. Identifying vulnerabilities, assessing their risk levels, and applying all controls and mitigations possible to lower that risk.

I’m having a hard time believing that voting machines don’t already undergo this to some degree. They fall under the state, which has cyber security requirements and are all running some form of risk management framework. They should be hardened according to an approved configuration script. They should be undergoing regular scans for vulnerabilities that would expose any configuration errors. They should be used on state networks undergoing the same hardening and scans. There’s should be audit logs that show access, modifications, and usage, and that data should be backed up regularly and securely. There should be independent groups responsible for tasks with different levels of access so the configuration guy can’t edit logs or manipulate the scans, and the log guy can’t edit configurations or manipulate the scans. This is CyberSec 101, which is another layer of security to go along with al the election security. That’s why the head of CISA was able to express confidently that the election was largely secure. There’s nothing wrong with auditing the machines, but without all the other stuff like verifiable audit trails, logs, etc, it doesn’t really prove the machines were secure during the election.

This reply is great

Yea, grew up just outside of Tampa and Siesta Key was our go-to.

Nah, they are full on right wing Q nuts. Lin floated a Powell/Flynn 2024 line at one point yesterday and Powell gave an "aw, shucks, little old me?" look while laughing. Powell is thoroughly enjoying the spotlight and with Q she has a pretty captive audience. Trump cut them away because of optics and they are just forging ahead trying to get theirs, they don't really give a fuck about any long term plans of the party. The Rs fed this monster and now they get to deal with it growing beyond their control.

Well Newt is clearly a RINO, no two ways about it. Real patriots fight like a Flynn like its 1776!

Stacy and the rest of the dems should come out and strongly encourage everyone to vote, especially republicans. Just feed their paranoia.

Couldn't understand the first lady. She seemed really happy to be on stage and listen to Lin's response though. A guy asked if there were these vast discrepancies because of Dominion altering votes why weren't they found during the hand recount. Powell says they didn't do a full hand recount, they only did a hand recount in one small precinct, and that it proved their case. Pretty sure that's an outright lie, I believe Georgia did a full hand recount of the entire state. A lady came up and asked about corporations that Rafensberger (sp) has in his name? Lin Wood went into some screed about knowing about defamation and said that he knew Kemp and Rafensberger took chinese and dominion money. Felt like Lin had no idea wtf she was on about so he pivoted to something he could throw at the Georgia Reps. Next lady came up and led with a bunch of "did you know" stuff about dominion. The stream was breaking up pretty badly, so I didn't catch it all. One of them was "did you know the dominion manual teaches them how to mass delete votes?" There was something about there being separate scanners for Trump votes and Biden votes too. Last lady up was unintelligible, the audio got weird since she came up. I don't believe she asked any questions, she went on a rant and handed the mic back to Lin Wood and no one responded. I cant even understand Powell now.

This Q&A is everything I expected and more. The youtube channel comments are icing on the cake.

"China is making their move, because they need our land, to grow their food" Real words spoken by a lawyer.
