  1. Mizzou already has a makeup game with Georgia, so they are juggling games around that one make up date.
  2. So what do you do with the people that were raised to disbelieve science? The cult isn't always some post HS bullshit they fell into. A large swathe of these people were raised in it from birth.
  3. I think the smartest thing teams could do is put anyone symptomatic in a separate group, so worst case, you lose the symptomatic group if someone tests positive. I know that's hard with some positions since coordinated reps with the first team is wanted, but the alternative is shit like this where one guy costs you a game. The funniest thing about this is its Clemson. Their 2s are better than a lot of people's 1s, and they were prepping for FSU, which is a borderline dumpster fire.
  4. Yea, that's why most schools are cancelling based on position group availability, not # of players. If those 8 players are your entire QB room or WR group, you cant field a functional team. If you have 20 players out but they are spread out 2-3 per position group, and they are practice squad/second/third stringers, you can still play a game. FSU absolutely used it to dodge Clemson this week, but Clemson fucked up by allowing a symptomatic guy to keep practicing. They should have taken the ass whipping, because it wont get any better later in the year. Even if Purdy is healthy, I expect more transfers and/or "injuries" to guys down the stretch. FSU is playing for nothing and they are in the "fuck this guy" phase of a new coaching hire.
  5. I think he’s saying a CHP officer that provides security detail to his kids tested positive.
  6. That, or immediately preceding this statement someone asked “what do you mean you don’t have anything besides these bullshit affidavits?”
  7. Correct. It won’t be an outright civil war, it will be shitheads shooting up a Whole Foods, a bunch of Bundy’s taking over a city hall, something like that. The only way federal troops get involved is if local law enforcement refuses to do their job or joins in with the idiots. Now that I type that out it really isn’t that far fetched I guess. Some elected sheriff and his shitheels will fuck around and find out, the question is will it be Florida or Ohio.
  8. I think hoping for the GOP to fracture is wishful thinking. The tea party tilted to the freedom caucus. The freedom caucus is now tilting to Qanon. The problem is the evangelicals/abortion voters really don’t give a shit about everything else, the GOP says they will stop dead babies so they have that block of voters locked up. They also live in echo chambers so even if there was a competing message that might sway them, they will never hear it. The Rs attacks on science and the media have been very effective in that regard.
  9. I stumbled on the shag the same way most non-horns did, because of the UT pimp story by Thujone. I stuck around because of the great food recs and to talk shit to Derka. He used to opine that Rick Barnes was a better coach than Billy Donovan. Good times. This place has been a wealth of good info beyond food. It helped me navigate my wife's cancer treatment at MDA. It helped me navigate my son applying to and attending UT in Austin. It helped me with my parent's recent divorce. There are good people here beneath all the snark. I wouldn't change anything about it other than reclaiming the original name, which I know isn't really possible. The political stuff is a reflection of the country, hiding it or cutting it away wont fix anything. The echo chambers people live in is a big part of the problem. We need to be exposed to the other side's opinions and ideas.
  10. Ill believe that when the primetime lineup flips. Most of their viewers dont give a shit about the daytime coverage. All that matters is what Hannity, Tucker, and Laura have to say.
  11. https://www.binnews.com/content/2020-10-13-proud-boys-members-warns-of-a-civil-war-if-donald-trump-is-not-re-elected/ No one has complained about peaceful protests. In fact, I dont think anyone mentioned protests. The concern is armed right wing terrorists are being fed that the election was rigged or stolen and that they will take it as a call to arms.
  12. Yep. At best, Rudy and his henchmen are doing this to run more clock so Trump and company can squeeze some more money out of the rubes. The problem is this throws buckets of gasoline on a fire, and we know that base has plenty of crazies with guns and shit.
  13. Our family situation is super fucked. My mom lives with us now, and she’s high risk. My son is attending UT in Austin, so he’s possibly bringing home the rona. My wife works for a school district, so her exposure is minimal compared to actual school house people, but someone on the floor above her tested positive last week. I work with my brother 5 days a week doing low voltage stuff. Riding in the same vehicle, whatever one gets the other surely will too. His wife is a teacher, 3rd grade. Exposure risk is pretty high because KISD gives zero fucks about the teachers. Parents don’t have to tell the school when they have had a positive test in the house, don’t have to keep their kids home. My daughter is a teacher, also KISD. She has had two kids in her class test positive this year, and she’s dating a soldier. Exposure risk super high. We haven’t seen her since the school year started beyond a quick drop by for a to-go plate of food. My wife’s parents are high risk, my SIL’s mom that lives in town is medium risk. My wife’s sister and their family live in Leander and usually attend. They have already said they aren’t coming. I think limiting our thanksgiving to my family and my brother’s makes sense. Even though my SIL’s exposure risk is elevated, we are exposed due to my brother and I working together anyway. We thought about doing something outside with heaters and fire pits, but my wife basically said there’s no fucking way she’s going to be outside in the cold. I think we are going to do to-go plates for all the family in the immediate area and catch the rona from my son anyway.
  14. No doubt. Look what they have done (not done?) with Will Wade. They give zero fucks about optics.
  15. If they doubt the count, they will doubt the audits too. Hell, they will doubt anything short of Trump winning, so whatever.
  16. Even if Detroit wasn't doing a live stream of their counting efforts (I dont remember if they were, I know many big counting places were), that facility would definitely have camera coverage to support or refute mystery vans delivering ballots instead of food. I would assume it would also be pretty simple to count the # of paper ballots versus reported votes cast for that precinct without having to do a full recount. A box is X number of ballots, we have X boxes, is that in the ballpark of reported votes.
  17. Trump fucking with CISA would be a significant blow to our country's cybersecurity posture. That's also probably the easiest/quickest attack our enemies can spool up during this transition that hes actively fucking up. Trump is absolutely a Manchurian candidate.
  18. The president is the original classification authority. Even if Biden didn’t maintain his clearance, the second he’s sworn in he has access to everything. He can also declassify anything he wants, which a lot of people are sweating with Trump’s lame duck period. Dude can royally fuck some stuff up and there is nothing anyone could do about it.
  19. There's a good reason a healthy chunk of that 71 million like flying the stars and bars. Its the remnants of a chunk of society that never accepted the results of the civil war. I don't know that their estrangement can ever be addressed short of bloodshed. They invite it.
  20. Or he's got the rona and is hiding. When is the last time he was seen in public, the VP debate?
