Vouch. I'll be damned if I'm going to see armoires being made in North Carolina.

New Study -Turns out the Earth is at about it's coldest point of the last 485 million years

Sorry, that sounds more complex than it is. Delta meaning difference. Sigma meaning summation, so take a difference from some reference and then sum the results over some time like 100 milliseconds before converting it from analog to digital. -
New Study -Turns out the Earth is at about it's coldest point of the last 485 million years

Let me tell you a story. We had an issue with some part. We couldn't figure out what the issue was. We brought in power supply experts, signal integrity experts, SW experts, ASIC design experts, PWB process experts. You'll never guess what happened: The power supply expert said the power supply was the issue and it needed to be redesigned The signal integrity expert said the layout was causing signal integrity issues and it needed to be redesigned The SW experts said the SW was likely inducing some race condition and had to be redesigned The PWB expert said the process wasn't good enough and had to be redesigned You know how we ended up fixing the problem? We removed a capacitor from a clock line so a delta-sigma ADC wouldn't see so much hysteresis. Moral of the story: A guy with a hammer will think every problem is a nail. We're asking a bunch of climate scientists (the chiropractors of the scientific community) to drive policy decisions. So here's what I ask. When we did the same thing with epidemiologists and COVID, If you didn't object to the lockdowns past the first couple of months of COVID and you bought into the slogan "SCIENCE!" kindly shut the fock up and sit the fock down. You are not equipped to understand the application of science or make policy decisions. -

The first step in understanding climate change is to develop a way to measure the temperature very accurately of the most dominant influence of our climate which is the sun. If we can't measure that and then characterize climate change relative to that dominant variable which is probably a 200 to 1000 year task, everything else we're doing is taking stabs in the dark. You don't invest your entire economy into solutions to a problem you don't even understand. This really should be common sense. -

How do they know for a fact humans are causing changes to the climate? These are the same types of people that knew we needed three weeks to flatten the curve, and said that you couldn't spread covid if you got the jab so I don't have a lot of faith in this cadre of pseudo-scientists. The main driver of the temperature is going to be the sun, and it's a giant uncontrolled nuclear reaction. Do we even know what a 50 degree change in the sun's temperature would do to earth's temperature, and how do we know the sun's temp has changed over the last 200 or 300 years? We can't even measure the sun's temperature accurately. Why do we think we can predict climate change without that key input? I guess the engineer in me is thinking that if someone came to me with this flimsy of evidence, I would tell them I need more before making an investment. -

All praise to Allah in every situation. -
I think it's Amari Cooper not Cooper Kupp. I don't know if that changes anything for you, but the reason I like Johnston over Robinson is the Chargers seem to be using him as a red zone target and they're using him on more digs and crossers which the previous regime never did. That to me means he could have more week to week value with some deep threat potential when Herbert gets back. On the flip side, Robinson's value is fairly limited. We know he's not overly dynamic, so even as the number 1 with Kupp and Puka out, he's probably getting 8 points. And that only drops off as Kupp and Nucua get healthy.

Dang. Not only can't Tim's observations on people be trusted, he apparently is a frequent visitor to racist meme sites.
-
Yeah, I do not get the timsrichocets of the world. You couldn't see that Biden had dementia for 4 years even though guys like Jerry were telling you he had dementia. There has to be some accountability for being wrong. You haven't shown an ability to see obvious things. Why should anyone trust your opinions?

It's also hard to tell because in general her policies aren't very good indicating that she isn't intelligent, but does she hold beliefs in bad policy because she wants power? Because she just doesn't understand how humans work given that she had a sheltered upbringing? On the other hand, Trumps policies are better, but I feel like he kind of fell ass backwards into a decent platform, and some stuff is just common sense which the left really struggles with.
-
I would agree that she has more innate intelligence than Trump, but that's not saying much.

Assuming a uniform statistical distribution. Seafoam brings down the entire population a few points by himself.

I'd drop Robinson before Johnston.

I didn't run across any clean bloods in that thread, but I only read maybe 20 comments before I moved on. I've noticed that on twitter. It's rare that a thread becomes a brawl with people fighting each other from my experience. It's mostly just people agreeing. Must be the way the algo works. I guess the algo thought I wasn't a clean blood.

Apparently because she's too retarded to remember it with her 78 IQ.

Dude, I have neither the inclination nor most likely the ability to dig up some twitter thread that happened to get spit out of some twitter engagement algorithm 8 hours ago. Just look up dead bodies and refrigerator trucks. One guy with a rainbow flag in his title was complaining that he got sick because someone sent a kid to school with a cold and he was going to mask everywhere now. That one made me chuckle. One person said people were dying because there weren't enough ventilators and hospital beds. It's just randoms, but I found it interesting because I thought it was kind of obvious by now we overshot the response, but now I know there's enough people out there that disagree to make a twitter thread go viral.

I'm probably still above average intelligence even though I'm losing my fastball pretty quickly, and I'd need a teleprompter too. Although, I would have the spiel pretty refined and down cold after two or three shows, but if you consider that these politicians need to tailor their opinions to the audience, it's probably hard to remember what you're supposed to think on any given day.

I ran across some thread on Twitter this morning and everyone agreed that the clean bloods were trying to rewrite history saying Covid wasn't as big of a deal as it was made out to be, and there were refrigerator trucks full of dead bodies lining the streets outside of every hospital. I was thinking damn, I thought the covidians were trying to rewrite history to say the draconian jab march was justified.

They took this one too far. 78 is basically Rocky after getting his brain damaged by Ivan.

Everyone is going to do well now that it's rate cut season... that is until they decide to stop cutting rates. Lower rates mean open season on speculation.
-
I'd choose Lazard, but I wouldn't be overly concerned about getting him. I'd also try to trade Kelce for a guy like Khalil Shakir.
-
It's all speculation, but if I was setting the over/under on when he's back, I'd say week 10. Decent chance he takes the whole year off. McDaniels is so worried about being empathetic, he's going to influence the decision. He seems to be treating him like he's his son and not a grown man. A coach of a grown man is going to help Tua obtain the most accurate information to help Tua make a decision on if he'd like to play again. McDaniels is saying things like he's focused on his health and not his career. No one should worry about when he's coming back, etc. And I'm sure his players will appreciate that sentiment, but a more balanced perspective would be, "I'm not thinking about him playing football right now. I'm concerned about his health. Ultimately, Tua will have to make a decision on what's best for him, and this organization will support him in every way possible." The difference is subtle, but it's important. He's basically saying Tua shouldn't think about playing. In reality, Tua should think really hard about playing and if it's worth it to him. And from that perspective, if Tua wants to play, he should come back as soon as he's fully healthy.

You dropped Odunze for Robinson? You appear to have fiddle syndrome. Do you feel the need to make constant updates to your starting lineup? Are you constantly churning your roster? Do you salivate over every waiver wire darling? If so, you may have fiddle syndrome. Sorry, there is no cure.

Bye week fill in at best. I'd discount the raiders game a bit. Emotional letdown week for the raiders after beating the Ravens last week. Carolina was getting dragged all week adding to the complacency of vegas Dalton appears to be one of those guys that brings his A+ game when given a chance. I don't know how many people here played sports, but some athletes, when they are playing on a new team or they finally get a chance to play, they play with a unique focus and are at the top of their game. That quickly falls off and they revert back to their average game. Crosby was banged up The panthers still suck.
