  1. And by worth it, I mean assume we have similar temperaments and socioeconomic status.. it’s just easier for you to strenuously object.
  2. That was my “how” part of the question? And I’ll add, is it worth it?
  3. Is it possible to sue a large corporation in small claims court? If so, how do you do it and if not, what are my other options? I have a 2024 Genesis SUV and a check engine light came on. It is supposedly a common issue (maybe even a recall) but I haven’t verified that yet because I don’t have the repair information yet. Genesis would not have the local Hyundai dealership look at it and paid to have the car shipped to a Salt Lake City Genesis dealership which is approximately 9hrs away. They said the will submit a request to send the car back to me and to keep my receipts for my car rental. I’ve had the rental for 5 weeks and now Genesis says that I need to pick up the car because they denied the return shipping. It is a $600 flight and 9hr drive back home. I am okay with that loss but if they deny my car rental for over a month - about a $1400 bill - I am going to be pissed. It would have been much much cheaper and much much more convenient to have Hyundai fix the recall and pay for it out of pocket.
  4. probably not true. If we aren’t spending money and aren’t getting any new sales, it is more likely just a wash economically.
  5. Russia suffered approximately 1,137,690 casualties in Ukraine between February 24, 2022 and October 27, 2025, with 800 soldiers killed or wounded in the past 24 hours. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said this in a post on Facebook, Ukrinform reports. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukrainian forces have destroyed 11,293 (+2) Russian tanks, 23,480 (+3) armored fighting vehicles, 34,036 (+34) artillery systems, 1,527 (+1) multiple rocket launchers, 1,230 (+1) anti-aircraft warfare systems, and 3,880 cruise missiles. The Russian army has also lost 428 warplanes, 346 helicopters, 74,946 (+547) tactical unmanned aerial systems, 28 warships/cutters, 1 submarine, 65,655 (+138) vehicles and fuel trucks, and 3,981 pieces of special equipment.
  6. Sterling is a big-time shooter off the basketball who made 44% of his threes, on over 8 attempts per game, during the Pro16 season. He has extreme gravity as a floor spacer (12-18 on open catch-and-shoot threes), but is also a tough shot-maker off the bounce. He’s a limited athlete who can get swallowed up in the lane at times, but a good ball-handler who is very adept at holding his dribble and probing until he gets just enough separation for his pull-up. He’s much more limited at the rim and actually shot a lower percentage inside the arc than he did beyond it. For whatever physical gifts he may lack, he compensates not just with skill, but intangibles and feel for the game. He passes and cuts well, all while understanding what his niche is, has solid positional size, innate toughness and competitiveness. Joe Sterling is a 6-4, 180-pound Combo Guard from Encino, CA.
  7. Did someone die twice?
  8. The pool guy on this site may be a good place to start - Is it @Poolflood ?
  9. I don't know if Sark is cool to party with but my wife's close friend use to date him and said that he is very giving in bed. I'm paraphrasing a bit but she said that he has a magic tongue and after her second date with him, she threw away her rabbit. Further, she said, he is even better when he's had a few drinks.
  10. Looks like we will continue to have a great defense. It would be nice to have a complete team, though.
  11. Yeah, I’m about to pay $31000 for a used truck. I wanted a beater but dealerships in the Rockies want $20K for a 8yr old truck with 90000 miles. That sounds crazy when I could buy a new fully loaded Hyundai Santa Fe in 2012 for $28K. $45K now seems to be on the low end for such vehicles and I don’t think salaries are matching that increase. Maybe I’m wrong, though, since it seems like most people are still buying with $600/mo payments.
  12. Yeah, I have 1st cousin who has since retired but was head of IT for GM. He and I discussed the topic at a thanksgiving dinner before Covid. For him, it was going to be a huge win because it moves IT from an expense to a profit center.
  13. Wait until all the auto companies charge an annual subscription fee for their software.
  14. Ukraine destroys Russian Buk air defense system worth $45 million, military says October 27, 2025 6:13 am by Abbey Fenbert Ukrainian forces successfully detected and destroyed a state-of-the-art Russian Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system valued at $45 million, Ukraine's Land Forces reported on Oct. 26. The Buk-M3 is one of Russia's key air defense assets, used to engage targets in the air, on the ground, and on the water. Ukraine's "Black Forest" brigade struck the target at an unspecified location, the military said. The brigade shared video footage of the operation. The Buk is a self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile system, first developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. In the decades since, the Soviet Union and then Russia developed several upgraded versions. The Buk-M3 is manufactured by Russia's Almaz-Antey defense company, and canreportedly track and engage up to 36 targets simultaneously. The system is designed to target planes, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones. The Buk gained worldwide infamy in 2014 with the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Ukraine has reported destroying Russian Buk systems in previous strikes. In September, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) reported a successful hit on a Buk-M3 in the Russian-occupied part Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In May, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said they destroyed a Buk-M3 in an undisclosed front-line sector.
  15. Ukrainian drones target Moscow in overnight attack, mayor says October 27, 2025 1:04 am (Updated: October 27, 2025 2:54 am) Editor's Note: This is a developing story. Dozens of drones targeted the city of Moscow overnight on Oct. 26-27, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. Sobyanin began reporting attacks on the Russian capital on the evening of Oct. 26. As of publication time, Russian forces have reportedly shot down 34 Ukrainian drones flying toward Moscow. Emergency services have been dispatched to all crash sites, Sobyanin said. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. Moscow's Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports have temporarily suspended operations in response to the drone threat. Explosions have been reported in multiple parts of the city and the surrounding region, including the Kommunarka district, according to Russian Telegram channels. No casualties have been reported. A fire broke out at on oil depot in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, on the evening of Oct. 26, the Russian Telegram news channel Astra reported, citing eyewitness footage. The local administration did not disclose the cause of the fire and said the blaze had already been extinguished. Ukrainian authorities have not commented on the reported strikes. Kyiv regularly uses long-range drones to target military and industrial targets in Russia, including oil refineries, weapons factories, and ammunition depots. Ukraine allegedly targeted Moscow with 34 drones in a previous overnight strike on Sept. 22. Russia regularly launches large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. Over the past two nights, mass attacks against Kyiv have killed five people and left dozens injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 26 that Russia has attacked Ukraine with nearly 1,200 strike drones and 50 missiles — primarily ballistic missiles — in the past week alone.
  16. What I found interesting is that the military spending was mainly done off the books by forcing banks to lend to companies without requiring collateral while said companies have a poor history of profitability and repayment. So basically the central bank looks okay on the surface but the books of the individual banks look terrible and when those banks start failing, the house of cards will suddenly collapse. And already those banks are having to limit expenditures this year.
  17. Long article but very informative.

    Brian Kelly to L$U

    Pre NIL it was way up there. Lots of talent in Louisiana, Mississippi and East Texas with no in state competition. Now that recruiting is money based - no fucking way.

    Based on limited highlights, I like their lower ranked OT recruit, Bryson Cooley, but don't think much of their higher rated guy, Brysten Martinez. And of course everyone wants DL Lamar Brown, DE Trenton Henderson. I think we showed some interest in WR Jabari Mack.
  20. Why Russians are fighting against Russia: ‘Putin has not only ruined Ukraine, he’s ruined my country’ Sam Kiley meets Russian volunteers in Ukraine’s army near the southern front line who explain why they turned on Vladimir Putin – and how they’re happy to kill their countrymen Saturday 25 October 2025 14:44 BST From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference. Working as an agent for Ukraine and attacking Russia’s railways was pretty easy, says Lazzy – a Russian fighting against his own country. “It’s not that complicated. Anyone in Russia can freely buy gasoline – for now, while some refineries still work – and set the railway on fire,” he explains. “Of course, you need to prepare the exit routes. To plan the operation, so to speak. You can’t just go for a walk and decide to do it. First, recon, then action. But in fact, anyone can do it.” The saboteur burned “several” railway-switching and electrical systems in arson attacks in Russia’s Volga region. The truth, though, is that it was dangerous and ate away at his nervous system. Which is why he walked across Russia’s border and joined Ukraine’s army to fight against Vladimir Putin. For the last year, he has been a frontline soldier battling in the shattered rubble of what is now known as the “dead zone”, because it’s so thinly populated by soldiers from both sides, all hiding from enemy drones – with occasional sneak attacks in person. “I think it’s easier for me here. Because in Russia, I constantly felt fear for my life,” he says. “Here in Ukraine, FSB and GRU [secret service] networks are not so strong. In Russia, it’s much more dangerous. Also, [in Russia] there are many people who support the regime. Say the wrong word and they will rat on you.” Lazzy chose to fight Putin’s regime because of what he saw as cronyism, corruption and the destruction of democracy: “Russia must have a future.” As he talks, his face is hidden and he’s known only by his military callsign. The Independent met him just a short drive from the front lines where he’s fighting in Ukraine’s south. “Here, in Ukraine, I can defend myself with weapons. Yes, it’s scary on the positions. They want to kill you. But it’s clear: either you or them.” He is part of Ukraine’s Freedom of Russia Legion, which operates under the control of Kyiv’s military intelligence services like other foreign volunteer units. The legion claims to field several hundred men. They are all Russians. In Moscow they would be executed as traitors. In Ukraine, they have fought in Sumy province, lost heavily in the bitter battle for Bakhmut, and say they have been involved in driving back recent Russian assaults on the front line of the southern battlefields. Ukraine has stepped up its campaign both inside occupied territory and in Russia itself. In its most spectacular strikes, Ukraine managed to disable Russian bombers in the covert Operation Spiderweb, involving multiple targets and agents on the ground. Russian refineries and power stations are regularly attacked by Ukraine’s new long-range drones. But the Freedom of Russia Legion has eyes on defending Ukraine locally. And then fighting in Russia to topple Putin altogether. The latter would be welcomed by Kyiv but is not a stated aim. Ceasar, a veteran Russian fighter in Ukraine’s army, began his opposition against Putin with what he calls “terrorist attacks”. For at least the last three-and-a-half years he has been in Ukraine’s army. He is driven by religious fervour and monarchist dreams of the return of a tsar to Russia. Originally from Sochi, he says he does not worry about killing fellow Russians. “I do not feel bad for killing my own citizens, because they’re doing very bad things here and I saw how they killed civilians, how they raped, how they robbed and they want to destroy Ukraine. Putin has ruined not only Ukraine, he's ruined also my country,” says Ceasar. He is armed, like Lazzy, with a modern M16-type rifle, originally an American design. It is rapidly replacing the AK-47 in Ukraine’s armoury. Ceasar describes the reality on the front lines of a war he has chosen to join. “There’s not a lot of military personnel at the front like it was two or three years ago. We are all dispersed. We are now about two or three men, at most, sitting in a bunker. Because if we will put there, a dozen men, they will be killed,” he says. “It’s very dangerous to move in and move out. It’s the most dangerous part of the operation.” Soldiers are forced to spend weeks, sometimes months, in foxholes and bunkers, trying to survive constant artillery and drone attacks. Referring to Lazzy, he continues: “On the last operation he was about 45 days on the position. I was about three weeks. It’s really hard. “Every day, every time you dig in, dig in, dig in and again, dig in.” Over the last few weeks, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has been touring the West seeking long-range missiles and air-defence systems. Putin has stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure, focusing on energy and transport systems ahead of the winter freeze. Russian troops have also advanced in small bounds at huge cost east of Kharkiv, and already committed murder in Pokrovsk against local civilians left behind by Ukrainian withdrawal. But drone warfare has kept the Russians back. Ukraine’s problem is that drones cannot fly in high winds, rain, fog or when it is snowing. Putin’s forces are likely to exploit bad winter weather and attempt to break through Ukrainian lines when drones are grounded. That is when Lazzy and Ceasar will face their toughest test.
  21. Well, there is our problem. Don't recruit scrubs and you might not have a scrub oline. Our highly rated guys on the OL have done pretty well. The 3 stars have been a mixed bag. With that said, our currently committed highly ranked white lineman from unknown wealth sucks despite the 4star ranking.
  22. Dan Neil, Gene Chilton, Doug Dawson, Lyle Sendlein, Kasey Studdard, Mason Walters, Connor Williams (don't know anything about Coppell and I think his mom is hispanic) so I don't think this is the problem. Who highly rated have we recruited for the offensive line lately from wealthy families?
