    TNF Discussion: Cowboys at Giants - Week 4

    To be clear though, I'm not betting this game.

    TNF Discussion: Cowboys at Giants - Week 4

    Hmmm. These teams are kind of mirror images of each other. Cowboys on the road can't stop the run against a team that can't run the ball... Coming off a crushing loss. Should be circling the wagons if they're not quitting on McCarthy. CeeDee doing the mea culpa kind of indicates the team is not pointing fingers. Pittsburgh next week. Giants coming off a win against the Browns. Predictable offense. Suspect o-line. Conventional wisdom says take the home dog in a divisional matchup, but this should be a kitchen sink game for Dallas. I'll go Giants +5. The lure of the home dog is too strong.

    No Tax on Tips

    They should go the other way and ban tipping. I'd vote for Biden's diseased vegetable brain if I could get people to stop trying to extort me for tips and just bake the server's wages into the price of the food.

    Why the F does this have 2.6+ million views?

    I also think he came in too hot. He asked her if she had it in an aggressive tone and she responded defensively. Just say, "did you happen to pick up a charger?" Preferably after everyone is situated. And if she says yeah, was it yours? The whole thing is done. If she denies it and you know she has it, then you can start being an ass.

    Both seem wrong Dude messed up and left it on the plane. At that point, don't expect to get it back. You don't want people to "steal" your stuff don't leave it in a public area. I get being that belligerent if she actively went in your stuff, but he left it in a public space. How does she even know who the owner is? If it's so important to you, keep better track of your stuff. She shouldn't have even picked it up, and if she did really pick it up with the intent to give it to someone to try and find the rightful owner, she should've went to a lost and found instead of putting it in her bag, but from her perspective, I don't think it's so unreasonable to assume the owner of the charger would just write it off once it's left behind. If that was my charger, and I left it behind, I wouldn't expect the airline and all the passengers to protect it and ensure I get my $30 charger back.

    Chiefs Running Backs

    You can get CEH essentially for free, but I wouldn't be counting on someone coming back from PTSD as soon as potentially possible that he says he's had since before the shooting at the parade. This isn't something that is going to necessarily have a timetable. https://fox4kc.com/sports/chiefs/chiefs-rb-clyde-edwards-helaire-describes-living-with-ptsd/ The majority of his PTSD is from the shooting, but Edwards-Helaire has endured a lot of trauma throughout his 25 years of life. “I wouldn’t necessarily say everything stemmed from that,” he said. “I have best friends that passed away at young ages from gun violence, and just not being in the right places at the right time and just knowing that I have people that are close to me or around me who could be in the same spots that I am.” Edwards-Helaire also had a spotlight put on him after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade and rally shooting in February, when he shielded a young boy and comforted him. The Uvalde Foundation For Kids, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending school violence that was created after the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, added him to their National HEROISM AWARD list. In the aftermath of the rally shooting, Edwards-Helaire commended the boy for his bravery during the shooting and indicated that he suffered from PTSD before that incident. “Sometimes I’m admitted into the hospital, something like I can’t stop throwing up and it’s just, I [don’t] know [anything] pretty much to stop it,” said the Chiefs’ 2020 first-round draft pick. Edwards-Helaire is one of the Chiefs’ top attitude players. His humor and positivity provide a spark throughout the team. So when he suffers from bouts of PTSD and cyclic vomiting syndrome, his teammates notice. “Real bad dehydration … but it’s really just mentally just not being there,” said Edwards-Helaire. “It is one of those things where early on, guys who kind of pay attention like Travis [Kelce] and Kadarius [Toney], at times they’ll know ahead of time like, ‘OK, Clyde’s not laughing, he’s not giggling, he’s not himself.'” He credited athletic trainer Julie Frymeyer and head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder with giving him coping mechanisms. He said he even talks to the Chiefs’ security staff, which has ex-military and ex-police personnel, about how they deal with PTSD. “I’m a guy who can talk to anybody,” he said. “And if I can get the help from, I mean, even if it’s [a member of the media] who I feel experienced something or I could talk to or a different coping mechanism that they feel helped them, I try my best to get whatever I need for help. So I can come out here and perform.” CEH’s time in KC hasn’t been the best for him as a first-round pick. After taking a starring role as a rookie and second-year player, his role diminished with the emergence of Isiah Pacheco. The Chiefs didn’t pick up his fifth-year option which made him a free agent coming into this season before he signed to a one-year contract. Edwards-Helaire may not be a focal point of the offense, but he stepped up in key spots last season to guide the Chiefs to wins and still has a heavy influence over his teammates. For a young man who brings the spark and joy that Edwards-Helaire does, the Chiefs work with him as he becomes an outspoken advocate for the illness that affects him and millions of others around the world. “My first couple of years, you just try to block everything out and it’s like, ‘Oh, at some point I’m going to get over it,'” he said. “And you start to realize that that just doesn’t happen. You get older and you realize, ‘Hey, no matter the age, no matter the person, no matter the situation, everyone needs help at some point.’ It takes courage to talk about it and having PTSD and dealing with it once people kind of bring it up, it is not something that I’d always want to talk about. I never really know how my body will react or my mind, it is just something that I can’t really pinpoint or know exactly what’s going to happen.” “I feel like talking is a big thing, but it is just getting over that hump personally, being able to know that honestly, just everybody goes through things good [and] bad … It’s a stepping stone. I’m just 25 years old and trying to live the rest of my life healthy.”

    I know the Giants are going to suck but....

    The hype is starting to build. He's probably got 1-3 games left before the wheels start coming off.

  10. Vouch. I'll be damned if I'm going to see armoires being made in North Carolina.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.

    Kamala the Imbecile revealed...78 IQ

    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?

    Kamala the Imbecile revealed...78 IQ

    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.

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    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.

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    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.
