Wisconsin getting any votes after week 1 is laughable. They looked mediocre to below mediocre in nearly every area. Getting more votes than BC who looked good beating FSU.

I would trust him with my taxes

30-7 NU at half. Riaola 15/22 192 2 TDs so far.

FS2

Update 23-7

16-7 now. Safety then 60 yard TD toss to ex Longhorn Neyor

2, 1. I’ll start with the one that doesn’t have their face painted on

I have no idea if she should be in the lineup or not. That said, I found the below article interesting. Sounds like a young person struggling and making bad decisions. Hopefully she can get onto a better path. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40991137/nebraska-volleyball-harper-murray-returns-arrest-offseason-mental-health

Good question I had not considered. They are growing at an anemic ~1.5% annually. If we can execute against our business plan, and give them confidence of that, we should be able to increase that to 2.5% within 24 months. My assumption is that a president of a smaller company in a mature industry would love to report to shareholders they found an additional 100 bps of growth. They are our first choice of partner however not the only one. Hopefully the potential revenue upside to them is material enough to sign an NDA?

Sent a PM with this information. Also sent my SS number and back account numbers just in case those were needed as well.

A potential business partner and I have been putting together a business case for a US/CA distribution business. We are looking to gain exclusive distribution rights in these geographies for a testing device supplied by an international manufacturer currently not selling this product into them. This manufacturer does sell other devices into these geographic regions however. We know the technology/markets well and believe this manufacturer might not be aware of the most lucrative market. These types of devices were produced for one market however have value in a more niche yet profitable adjacent market. We are at the point where we would like to approach this manufacturer and have some preliminary conversations about their interest. We have no intention of revealing the adjacent market details during any initial meetings. At some point however that information may need to be shared. Our fear is they could take this information and simply decide to sell this product line directly. Would an NDA help protect against that should we need to disclose our market knowledge at some point? I will of course check with an attorney formally but thought this might be a good starting place since apparently 95% of posters here are attorneys.

A noticeable amount of posters replying with "Oh my sweet summer child" in various threads over the past 3-4 weeks.

My brain still hasn't adjusted to what a good season might look like in the BIG and SEC now. Look at the number of BIG coaches mentioned in that article. Conference realignment has led to a consolidation of not just money but also player and coaching talent. In the BIG tOSU and Oregon are elite. PSU and Iowa have been good recently and hired new OCs to try and make that next jump. NU, Wisconsin, Washington, MSU, USC all hired coaches with proven winning backgrounds. Indiana, Rutgers, and Minnesota have reasons for optimism with their coaches. I think 13-14 teams in the conference all believe they could be winning 8 games a year within a couple of seasons, and they aren't completely crazy for thinking that. I use the BIG in the above example only because I'm more familiar with it. My assumption is the same could be said for the SEC. 7-5 and 8-4 might be pretty solid seasons for the next decade unless you are one of the top 2-3 elite teams in either conference. All obvious thoughts, but I still need to remind myself to adjust expectations for the upcoming season.

Crushed it

“Don’t count the lies. Count the I’s.” was a great line that will get a lot of play tomorrow. The rest seemed unfocused. Probably needed to focus on the critical few opposed to trying to get every point in.

7-5 or 8-4 seems likely should they avoid an injury at qb (zero depth). Last season they turned the ball over 31 times resulting in one of the worst +/- turnover margins in the country. The QBs were responsible for 25 of those turnovers (81%). With even average QB play last year they were likely 8-4.

Funny, your reaction and the 50 second mark after nearly hitting a tree is very similar to my own. No idea why I’m chuckling each time I nearly break my face.

How has she performed in previous debates throughout her career? Debating a lying incoherent child is probably a bit challenging. Additionally, dreading the idea of Trump gaining any undeserved momentum because of the completely different standard the public will hold her to. It seems like women presidential candidates have to demonstrate insane competency and project an aura of power while also appearing soft, caring, and approachable. Trump just needs to not shit himself and speak aggressively. The press will be eager to declare him the winner and watch the panic that ensues.

It's on brand for him. During the days following the 2020 election he was interviewed regularly on national news networks acting as state Attorney General. Notice the Count von Count and USPS toys that are prominently displayed on his bookshelf in the background. Dude has been battling Republicans while trolling for awhile.

Completed my first MTB race this last weekend in Steamboat Springs, CO. Beat the time I was targeting by 2 mins, good enough to finish at ~55th percentile for men regardless of classification. I was pleased with the result and have managed to become a respectable rider over the past year. I am not overly motivated by racing but enjoyed the discipline and structure it provided. Looking forward to fun rides in the upcoming months (no more intervals).

These are much better than past versions. I am sad and miss the annual ridicule of their alternates.
