Historical Teen Suicide Rates
Overview of Trends
Teen suicide rates have shown a concerning upward trend over the years, particularly among individuals aged 10-24. The following sections detail the changes in suicide rates over specific periods.
Key Statistics by Age Group
Age Group Time Period Suicide Rate Change
10-14: 2007-2018 Tripled from 0.9 to 2.9 per 100,000
15-19: 2009-2017 Increased by 57% from 7.5 to 11.8 per 100,000
10-24: 2007-2021 Increased by 62% from 6.8 to 11.0 per 100,000
So what cased this spike after 2006?
The smart phone hit the main stream that year, coincidence?

re: Look what our woke, Leftist education system has done for our country

My Memory was slightly off it was 2015. China passed us in 2015 PISA test.
You said they, so now you get the say it's Japan you were talking about, but "they" should have included China and Japan as originally stated, with a primary topic of China being at the top.
Point being the US education system has been on a decline since federal influence gained more and more control and we focused on the wrong things and strain to justify it.
2015 China surpassed the U.S. in math scores during the PISA test, with students from four provinces achieving the highest scores globally.
2018 The trend continued, with Chinese students maintaining higher average math scores than their U.S. counterparts.
2022 The gap widened further, with U.S. students scoring significantly lower than those in China.

Louisiana, Mississippi, and a couple other states are the outliers in allowing rifles for deer hunting 1/4 of the year
This - When I hunted Pennsylvania (14 days) and Missouri (10 days) a few times it opened my eyes to how long La and Ms firearms seasons are. Also to how dumb the less than 3 year old deer are in those other states.

The Mechanical Design Engineer is expected to have a strong, practical understanding of machine design, drawings, and tolerance stack-ups, is comfortable working with fabricators and vendors to specify machine components, and favors off-the-shelf commercial components where practical.
That's an interesting one.

You want him to fight air? There is nothing to fight at this point and never will be. When the hysteria of this blows over in a few weeks, the SEC will drop the suit as quietly as possible, hoping most won't notice.

Ther are a number of people on here that need to read these two post very slowly and/or multiple times.

If you stop looking at LSU’s position as trying to sign Tom Brady to win at all costs, and simply signing players that courts deemed available to fill roster depth like any other program would…
The SEC’s behavior suddenly looks horrific for the future of all 16 teams financially. Effectively making moves to prevent member institutions from improving level of play within the established rule set, while also demanding draconian sanctions to do so. Just pretend it was your school being hit with the death penalty for signing a backup, strip away the rest of the noise. Would you want the guys responsible for that in charge of all of our futures? Sankey should see himself out, along with any of the Presidents who pushed for this mess.
quote:
sankey is going to lose his job and the SEC will lose what i'd call big bucks when the pay those 2 players and their legal fees. and the rest of those players (about 40) are smelling blood and the SEC may be paying them as well. and yes, LSU gave up those 2 players; does it look to you that we needed them? 5 for 5 was completely in the wrong by not considering guys in that category and now the SEC has spit in their face. it may get ugly for the SEC. sankey will be long gone when this ends. LSU is not the loser here; it's the SEC. you just haven't thought it out

LSU gave up on the thing that started all of this
Nope! Posted this to you in another thread.
People can't seem to acknowledge the fact that Lane and LSU played this as about as well as you could. This was never about adding "NFL players". The two in question have very good existing relationships with Lane and he saw a chance to add mature experienced depth to a already loaded roster. He knew this all.along and alluded to it in a press conference, this was about giving these guys a chance to keep playing ball.
He showed the players hes willing to fight for them against the machine (NCAA/SEC), and if you don't think that helps future team chemistry and recruitment then you can't see beyond your own bias and/or what the media tells you to think.
LSU broke zero rules, got massive PR, will receive zero penalties, and will help the conference by showing the world the utter incompetence of Sankey.

why cause all this chaos for players you didn’t need?
He had a very good existing relationship with the players involved, wanted to see if he could give them another year of playing ball while also adding depth pieces with significant maturity and experience. Its can also impact future recruitment by showing hes willing to fight for his players. This was not about adding top tier talent, never was, but some can't seem to critically think
re: Ole Miss v LSU Vegas Odds
Posted by Dock Holiday on 9/8/26 at 6:47 am to ManBearSharkReb
quote:
Vegas sets it at about what the outcome should be based on their computer models. They also want even betting on both sides of the line which is what causes the line to move. Smart money moves the line. So if the line is egregious you would see significant movement.
You need to acknowledge that Vegas had the LSU-Clemson line a 10.5.
They get it wrong every single day, but it's impossible to know with 100% certainty which ones Vegas is getting wrong.
You grasping at this as proof you are the better team is sad and funny at the same time. I truly hope Ole Miss is favored at kick-off.

Not really sure why I bother, but here goes...
have you given any thought to the 14 other players this could affect as well as others that have yet to consider playing at least a few more snaps because they couldn't cut it in the NFL currently? Have you ever suited up, and felt what's its like to walk off a field for the last time?
I hope the current 16 win and those opposing it have to pay ALL legal fees.

So what. Being opposite of your opinion makes me feel even better about mine. This needs to be pressed and resolved for the players sake, pesent and future. Go sit in the corner and wait for the judge to rule and give his opinion, it would be best for all following this that you did, especially yourself.

moderators don't need to be in every discussion to settle every argument.
I agree to an extent. I also believe there is a monetary incentive to allow a bit too much arguing on TD. This site brings in $$$ and drama gets clicks, and clicks mean more $$$. rinse, repeat...
There are parts of this site that need more moderation in my opinion. Very often a good topic gets brought up only to be derailed by a few aholes in a pissing match. I'm not defending the Discord guy, i prefer some back and forth of different views, and he is likely too quick, but we have to realize there are two completely different situations/cultures. almost apples and oranges.

One note I found in the filing, their tax auditor "resigned voluntarily due to the move to the US", that's now on record. They picked up another auditor immediately, Grant Thorton, a well known one.
They also formally state they believe contracts will be signed in 2026, that's now on record too, not just a PR interview.

About how much can you make per year renting out on 20000 shares?
I varies wildly based on stock price and interest rate.
Assuming static round numbers of $5 share price and 6% borrow rate you'd get $6,000 annually. It also assumes the shares are lent out 365 days.
Lots of assumptions to tell you don't rely on it for steady income, it's anything but steady, but I'll gladly take the shorts payments, as we climb the ladder to double digit share prices and beyond.

it is counterproductive to lend those long shares to be bought short.
From my perspective, someone with a significant share count that will hold for a few years, the swings caused by "shorts" of today are simply noise on the way to where we believe it will be by 2030.
It's in no way counterproductive for me personally, it's actually a very productive source of passive income to be shared with my children in the form of short interest payments to me and ultimately passed to them.
Shares will come in and out of my account throughout the year on and off of being lent out and the cash deposited monthly feels like free money.

How do I get it set up for lending
I did it the old way where I had to print, review, and sign some papers, that is now gone. You have to be invited to lend the shares by Schwab now.
My suggestion is to go start a chat while in your account and you will eventually be asked to call the Lending specialist number to get a full set of instructions or reasons why they have yet to contact you.
