  1. I’m just assuming they are all still cheating and taking videos of previous games while listening to the headset.
  2. I didn’t read the article, but if they can hear the play, it’s no different than the sign stealing that was described on the Netflix special. They got so good at it they could relay exact plays before the snap.
  3. Hey buzz, everything you’ve accomplished is immediately null and void. Eff off hoser.
  4. I wanted to make a serious post to convey my deep thanks for people getting out to vote against Trump and for Harris. For me and my wife, and many other posters in this thread, the election is about far more than just political theater. It’s about serious impacts to people’s lives. For us, cancer and other health issues hit our family and led to me retiring early. While we are fine financially and are currently on my wife’s healthcare, she will have to also drop work soon due to health reasons. As many of you know, until Obamacare came along, there were few to no high quality, affordable healthcare options for people under Medicare age that didn’t also come with some major affordability and eligibility issues for people with pre-existing conditions (which is everyone!). I could provide a lot more detail of the problems. They aren’t just “poor people” issues! How would you feel not being able to see doctors and surgeons who could save your life because the insurance coverage is so limited? That is a probable future we could face with a hacked together Republican healthcare plan. The Republicans came out today and stated that repeal of Obamacare would be one of the first items on their agenda. With no backup plan, especially for people with pre-existing conditions, many Americans face the impossibility of having no or terrible healthcare, despite having a lot of money to afford it. It’s a frightening prospect, as is their treatment of women, immigrants, trans and many other groups that also face tough consequences if these idiots win. Anyway, I really appreciate the people that have figured out what’s really going on and have taken action. Thank you.
  5. She has run a tremendous campaign. Absolutely tremendous. The fact that she went from not in the race to a dead heat with one week left is incredible. It really is. And the messaging has been pretty good along the way. Not perfect, but pretty good.
  6. So after having had to read Facebook posts by a MAGA idiot for the last two weeks (a company owner too) I finally just personally messaged him, posted the Popovich video and asked what went wrong in his life that he now can’t to figure out he’s being conned. It felt good. One fewer dumb friend in my life, or maybe there’s a .01% chance he starts thinking for once.
  7. No joke, of everywhere I’ve been on the globe Chisinau had the most beautiful women. Supposedly it’s the intersection of three different regions of human “tribes”, or something to that effect.

    3D Printing

    Holy shit he was my drafting professor. How do you guys remember something so far back? I think I learned Solidworks at my engineering side job, which worked with NASTRAN finite element modeling software. 3D was just coming into vogue and I remember struggling to draw with it.
  9. This thread moves with breathtaking speed. There’s no way to keep up. Using terms like Fascism and Fascist is a waste of breath. Trump voters are too dumb to know what that means. They have no idea what you are referencing.
  10. I laughed my ass off when the detective said some to the effect, “I get 2,500 new suspects per day and most of them are Ted Cruz. “
  11. I’ve projected the winners based on this thread. Kamela and Colin win Texas with 94% of the vote.
  12. I’ve said it many times. There are only 3 types of Trump supporters: 1) wealthy folks that will do anything to get more money, like Elon; 2) completely uninformed people who fell for all the propaganda, or just don’t pay attention, and that includes conservatives, religious right Christians who are basically hypocrites, and others who think he’s good for them when he’s just a crook, traitor, grifter, convict, etc; and 3) racists. He suddenly popped up with #3 to go with #2. It’s gotten to the point that given that, it’s become very difficult to show these people patience and niceness. After all, they are supporting a candidate who preaches hate and lies every time he opens his mouth and his followers now demonstrate the same behavior. At some point you have to ask the question, “why treat them with respect when they don’t practice it or earn it?” People accepting this behavior is what will destroy this country.
  13. Holy shit. I thought he was just an idiot who has been fooled by propaganda. It turns out he’s a full throttle racist piece of shit. Who doesn’t even know he’s a racist pos. He’s going on my ignore list, of which there is only one person. Why any of you would want to spend one more second debating a racist is beyond me.
  14. I would guess that it wasn’t confidence, but instead a change in safety coverage to cover the swing passes, finally leaving the downfield more open. Which brings up a bigger issue than Quinn, imo. Sark’s offense uses motion, misdirection, and check downs to deal with opposing defenses. When you now have the talent Texas has on offense, I’m concerned they can’t just line up and bludgeon defenses. Or, like the old Lincoln Riley offenses at OU, just run a passing offense that is difficult to stop when playing outmanned teams. It’s like Sark has gotten too cute with his schemes and has forgotten about implementing good old San Francisco 49rs or Baltimore Ravens tough running offense. They can’t consistently run the ball without misdirection. With the talent they have in the line, they should be able to do that against everyone but Georgia and maybe A&M.
