  1. The video is comical. It's clearly a person in a bear costume.
  2. The timeline forced the Democrats to go with Kamala. Since she was on the ticket with Biden she still got to access the campaign funds they'd raised prior to his withdrawal. That would not be the case for anyone else and those funds would have to be returned to the donors or given to the DNC if neither her nor Biden were the nominee. The DNC could spend that money, about $100 million, on ads but not on directly running the campaign as that would violate campaign finance laws. If the Democrats had speedrun a second primary or picked literally anyone else at an open convention, that candidate would have to build a campaign apparatus from scratch and start fundraising from a base of $0 all less than 4 months from the election. The Democrats really just did not have any other option than to go with Kamala since she was the only candidate with existing campaign funds and equally important an already existing campaign apparatus in place. You go to the election with the campaign you have if I can paraphrase an F-tier SECDEF.
  3. That'll be the Lofty Large AI.
  4. I'm so happy that Sherrod Brown lost. He was one of crypto's big detractors and that sector got a nice bump last night.
  5. They did. The Gamecocks laid a beatdown on Oklahoma. That one had to feel good with Venables coaching at their nemesis for so many years.
  6. Who knew one of them would be Vanderbilt?
  7. He peaked with that one amazing game against Notre Dame filling in for Trevor Lawrence and has been headed downhill ever since.
  8. True UPT has never been tried.
  9. It's been a while, but going through the KC-135 schoolhouse took about 6 months when I went through.
  10. I'm pretty sure Brown Sugar is about interracial sex in the antebellum South. For reference here's the first verse: Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in the market down in New Orleans Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright Hear him whip the women, just around midnight
  11. If we could stop pissing away money on a draft registration system for a draft that will never be reinstated, that'd be great.
  12. I gave them the date. I asked how fast I could separate and they (MPF/FSS) said the fastest possible timeline was one month. I already had TAP & the separation physical complete. Almost all of that month was spent on waiting for AFPC to do AFPC things. Once my separation was approved, I was able to complete about 85% of the virtual out-processing checklist in about 1.5 workdays and that was without hurrying. The rest was stuff that didn't pop up on people's computer's until closer to the deadline.
  13. My experience is almost 8 years ago, but I was able to set a separation date one month from when I declined continuation after getting passed over twice. Declining continuation counts as an involuntary separation. This fact matters to you because instead of your approval authority for separation being the SECAF it's now some random SSgt at AFPC. Once the right people are working your case they can get it approved in about an hour. If your case gets hung up, call your congressperson, your chain will not be able to make AFPC do their job in a timely fashion. Help yourself out and have TAP & the separation physical done before you get the results the second time.
  14. This was my experience. I struggled getting my PPL. I'd fly, sit for a couple weeks due to bad WX, rinse repeat. I made little progress. As soon as I started flying consistently 2-3 times per week it all got much much easier.
  15. LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at Embry Riddle. I'm out here doing ground ops every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the taxiway for 48 minutes. - Roger Murdock

  17. This is exactly like a football player fumbling and the coach having him carry the football to class. I love it.
  18. It even includes the legend of the sign from Enid's founding. That makes my top five, but as an 80's kid I'm biased towards the vaporwave aesthetic.
  19. The article is vague, but it sounds like he was in the hospital for the better part of a week. If I'm reading that incorrectly, please ignore my post. What horrifies me is that the SECDEF is in the hospital for days and no-one in his office bothers to inform the White House. I'm equally horrified that the White House apparently did not notice they hadn't heard from him in several days. Does he have a spouse that could have called someone? Did SECDEF notify anyone or was it the kind of medical emergency that would preclude that? Did his staff know or did they not know? If they knew did they inform the White House? If they didn't know, did they just ignore a missing SECDEF for several days? I've had people no-show for work and if I can't get them to pick up the phone I go to their house and knock on their door, even if it's 3 am. This is basic Lieutenant level stuff that the very top of our government got wrong. The whole situation is utterly inexcusable and the public is owed a straight answer on what went wrong.
  20. The idea is to let dudes transfer in time for the next semester at their new school. If they're going to "play school" as well, you've got to let them transfer in December.
  21. The 24 team playoff works great for FCS. All games but the National Championship are played on campus and the process is in every way superior to what FBS is doing. Every conference* is represented and there are plenty of at large spots. There's none of this handwringing over what to do with multiple Conference Champions with the same record. Fill out the bracket and let em play. Works great. *With the exception of the MEAC and SWAC whose champions play in the Celebration Bowl instead and the Ivy League which doesn't participate in the post season.
