    Just read on Twitter that they had a bunch of testing facilities, like 34 of them, claim 100% positive rates today.  That’s pretty much statistically impossible, so I’d take whatever data they’re putting out with a grain of salt.  

    Or there getting overwhelmed so they’re only getting the positives out on the report

    Lol. Guess not.  Who looks at dates when reading articles anyways. I guess you assholes :)

    Saw a different article last month that showed suicide rates increase 1.6% for every 1% of increase in unemployment. (From study of 2007-2010) Figured with a 9% increase in unemployment since February that we would see suicide numbers increase but having a hard time finding reporting or numbers on that lately. Maybe it’s because the increase is negligent, or maybe it’s just buried in under everything else.

    Negligent is how people are acting currently, negligible is the amount of change in the amount of something

  3. I don’t know why people need to believe that pedo stuff is always tied to some grand conspiracy, when it usually someone trusted doing it, or people trafficking themselves to a sex tourism haven to exploit poverty instead of moving the kids

    I don't understand the idea of postponing.  Move to online learning until the coast is clear.  We know online learning is less efficient than in-class learning -- get on it ASAP, instead of kicking the can down the road when kids could be (in theory) learning something.

    I guess I should note they were planning on full classes everyday while Omaha was starting with rotating schedules and an online component. I’m guessing they’ll head that direction before outright postponement 

  5. So on a schools must open note. The Public Schools here in Lincoln said in early June they were going to reopen August 12th with masks,etc. Cases have jumped this past week and they moved our threat level from yellow to orange and the schools just sent out an email saying “about that start date”, indicating if case keep going the way they are they’ll postpone the opening soon

    well we ain't gen x, bro. too early for millenials. oregon trail generation ftw

    Oregon trail was the defining aspect of computer lab for me. 99 boxes of bullets, a shit ton of oxen and a doctor as my occupation. Pay the money for the ferry to float the wagon across every time it was presented as an option. Cholera couldn't derail my wagon but the Sioux couldn't wait to find me with 0 axles and 4000 lbs of rotted bison meat. That strategy got me past chimney rock every time. Probably made it to the Willamette Valley once. Im an early millennial, if that means anything. Boomers would also go with 99 boxes of bullets, but rather than oxen or a valuable profession, they probably brought 1,000 boxes of bootstraps.

    The school I went to was physically on the trail route, nothing better than playing Oregon Trail and passing where you were sitting.

    I don’t think pence is the problem if this is true 

     

    Pence is the car window that won’t roll down right, after you’ve already put a rod through the block, and blown the transmission by putting it into park while still moving

    I could get on board with a football season that started in late February and wrapped up around Memorial Day.

    March football in Ames would be wild, and I could actually go.  You would have equal likelihood of raging blizzard or 75 degrees and sunny.

    Plus spring snow is more likely to be heavy and wet vs. dry fall snow for extra fun

     Mike Tyson’s greatest quote ever was “everybody’s got a plan, until they get punched in the mouth.”

    Although I like Mike, there is no way he came up with that on his own. Probably something Cus D’Amato told him when he was training him when he was young.

    Anyway it’s the absolute truth, and the dems could learn from that if they would. The republicans have. 

    Tex Cobb used it after Larry Holmes beat the shit out of him too.

    Or you’re probably still paying Bo Pelini to not be there and some poor sap lost a job

    Pelini deal was paid off at the end of last season, why else do you think he suddenly was interested in much higher paying coordinator jobs again? Riley was a lump sum buyout, only coaches getting paid off is basketball now

    On the signs that they’re isn’t going to be a football season note, Nebraska laid off the guy who did all their gameday social media content and video and written features on athletes. He’s one of the best in the business and you don’t do that if you think there’s going to be games.

    Nebraska still plays football?

    The point is it’s a high budget program who laid off a key part of the game day program
