re: College Gameday going to South Dakota State for the NDSU game

Posted by Ragnar Danneskjold on 10/20/19 at 3:02 pm

They're playing NDSU, who is #1 and won 6 of the last 7 FCSNC's. And the Jacks' only loss is to undefeated Minnesota. They're ranked #3.

ETA
Gameday still has the chance to go to Columbus for PSU.

Antarctica is getting icier

Posted by Ragnar Danneskjold on 10/20/19 at 12:07 pm

quote:
A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.
According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

They do this at the start of the 4th quarter. It's one of the best traditions in CFB, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

re: Who will the DNC side with? Hillary or Tulsi?

Posted by Ragnar Danneskjold on 10/19/19 at 11:02 am

Hillary is an old dictator. And like so many old dictators, she'll easily squash rebellion until she's so old she can't. And when an old dictator falls, he/she falls HARD. It's a route, but not after incredible damage and casualties.

In this case, the dictator has enough of a hegemony to easily defeat this uppity upstart. Tulsi is going down. She might even "commit suicide."

A conglomeration of old/free office furniture on a basement room. Supplemental radiant heater. Good lights.

Dual screens for the work laptop, and three screens (2 are 4k) for the personal desktop. :pimp:

If they stole this play from Riley, they need to steal the entire playbook. That right there is a work of art.

She Replied:

Tulsi Gabbard
Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton . You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.

I hadta flip over to her twitter to make sure that wasn't a joke, and it is not. I disagree with Ms. Gabbard's politics, but props to her for now bowing to Hillary Clinton.
