  1. Who the hell thought there was even a chance at "targeting" with that hit, until RGIII fabricated it on the air? Campbell went bitchmade thinking the booth would review that but only after an assistant relayed as such over his headset. I actually admire Campbell for being one of the few coaches in this shitheeled conference with enough balls to call out officiating for their terrible jobs, week over week. It seems to get under his skin more than most, but this game ain't it.
  2. That's a huge deal to the chipmaking industry, where Ukraine provides 25% of the world's industrial-use Neon gas. https://www.engineering.com/story/will-the-neon-shortage-cripple-computer-chip-production
  3. Whistleblower about to get paid. Who else is on the take for export controls violations? https://www.reuters.com/technology/how-us-firm-supplied-networking-technology-maker-feared-russian-missiles-2022-10-12/
  4. Trick question, Jack Daniels isn't bourbon.
  5. If we're not deploying assets that have the capability of striking within Russia's borders, then where are we with allowing the Black Sea Fleet to roam about, unabated? The Bosphorous and Dardanelles are closed, anything posing a threat from there should be ripe for target practice.
  6. I'm out on Venables watching the game yesterday. He has talent and depth at DL and EDGE but seems absolutely fixed on his 3-DL scheme, only to leave his LBs lost, which is the thinnest position on his defense. He's also lacking leadership in the defensive backfield and I saw nearly no adjustment yesterday. He's not the kind of guy who I though would turn those keys over to Ted Roof (of all coaches) but as a unit, they've looked lost after the Nebraska game.
  7. Think of it like current diesel-electric locomotives, where a smaller-displacement, turbodiesel engine drives a high-voltage generator to electrify every component of the tank, including drive systems. Applying current hybrid-automotive systems might allow the tank to perform limited maneuvers on battery-cells, removing heat signatures from the tank under standstill operation.
  8. Somewhat related, this video popped up on my feed earlier today. It sparked a thought about Sark keeping his eye on Saban's roster and leveraging the portal + prior season results to continue poaching receiver & TE talent out of Tuscaloosa. Seems additional opportunity may be brewing for the offseason that we could take advantage of.
  9. Disagree with Lincoln "continually given Sark headaches." He's as offense-minded as Sark is, without a few key bits of experience under Saban to recruit and tailor said offense around the LoS. Lincoln might be more crafty about identifying unique strengths of players under his roster, then exploiting them, but he follows a pretty straight playbook that can be blown up once his OL and a key receiver are overmatched. I wished we had a couple more years to play him heads up, or at the very minimum, we didn't get fucked over with that call last year when Mims stepped out of bounds. It took more than that for OU to mount their comeback, but it certainly swayed momentum and it would have been fun to see Sark pour offensive gasoline on the fire of which only Lincoln used to play with. We'll get that chance again, I'm looking forward to it.
  10. Riley will never recruit an OL or DL that won't consistently get trucked outside of the PAC. He'll remain a one-trick wonder. I'm also ready for us to play USC again soon. We may get our wish.
  11. Fuck Alabama with the same degree of twisted shank. This should be a meteor game.
  12. Related, following article was just revised and is buried within a reply-thread: https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-does-the-russo-ukrainian-war?utm_campaign=auto_share
  13. I still remember this game vividly-- Briles diced them with 5-yard slants every snap all the way down the field.
  14. Never before have I thought an in-line video ad placement for a VPN service was more apropos. We're going to have to wait for two generations of 'lost' Russians to die off while the younger generation suffers.
  15. It's not even about the "attack" but all the economic and strategic pain our allies would bring about, with an economic game of chicken to brew and wait for China to break first-- because they well. Naval blockades and denial of access to food, energy, and rare earths imports would break them in a matter of weeks. Yes, that will all hurt us too, but I hope our lazy and naive politicians have realized enough that the CCP's butt-fumbles (cargo, manufacturing, Covid-19) are severe enough to diversify and onshore.
  16. Julia should spend more effort chastising the absolute shitheels over at Meta, not those having fun with alt-translated videos. Then again, if you get your "news" from Facebook, I'm not sure what to tell you...

  18. I'm still struggling with theories beyond false-flag ops or energy price manipulation. Gazprom is still making deliveries to the EU via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, yanno, the big one that runs through Ukraine in which Gazprom pays transit fees to Ukraine for. The 42.4mcm sold through the pipeline is considered normal demand under contract, with deliveries to Poland and Germany. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/eastward-gas-flows-via-yamal-europe-pipeline-rise-2022-09-27/
  19. Dagestan is already popping off as their populace sacrificed their sons over the first rounds of conscription, never to be heard from agian. Announcement of mobilization was the step too far.
  20. If Sark is that stubborn and fixed on his system, was his hire of coach Marion all for naught? I assumed the two would be working together to incorporate Rojo and Bijan in the Go-Go, and not some weakcat on 4th down.
  21. In this shithole conference? That's not a thing.
  22. "...not a fault if Russia still ignites one or two of nukes," like no big deal, everyday happenstance in Russian destructo-doctrine. 🥴
  23. Sooo... the bright autumn colors become car bombs in the DNR/LNR
  24. Not related, but dammit, Lithuania https://chazzchips.com/lt/putes-skonio-traskuciai?product_rewrite=putes-skonio-traskuciai
