He is also a serious pompous turd.

Damn, he was always talking about her on the air. That's a tough deal for him. Hope he's hanging in there.

Resident tough guy.

This one stumps me. I almost shite my pants when I got my drivers license. Closest I'd felt to a little kid on Christmas morning since I was a little kid.

To what extent is it that so many kids these days are raised to be afraid of everything and think that everything is trying to hurt them.

In bullet form list, Why do so many teenagers not care about getting their drivers license anymore?

ChatGPT said:

Here’s a bullet list of reasons why many teenagers today don't care as much about getting their driver’s license:

Ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft make it easy to get around without needing a car.

Social media allows teens to socialize online instead of meeting up in person.
Environmental concerns — some teens are more aware of the climate impact of driving.
High costs — owning a car (insurance, gas, maintenance) is expensive.
Urbanization — more teens live in cities with public transportation options.
Parental caution — some parents are more hesitant to let their kids drive early.
Increased academic/work pressure — teens may prioritize school and jobs over driving.
Less cultural emphasis — getting a license is no longer seen as the big milestone it once was.
Fear of accidents — increased awareness of car crash statistics discourages some teens.
Access to delivery services — food, groceries, and shopping can be done online without needing to drive.
Would you like me to also rank these by what studies show are the biggest factors?

You said:
Yes please.

Sure — here’s the ranked list based on what studies and surveys (like AAA, Pew Research, and transportation research groups) show are the biggest factors:

Top reasons (most influential):

Cost — High costs of car ownership (insurance, gas, maintenance) are the biggest barrier.
Ridesharing apps — Availability of Uber/Lyft makes owning a car less necessary.
Social media/online life — Teens socialize virtually instead of driving to meet friends.
Urban living and public transport — Many teens in cities have less need for a car.
Parental influence — Parents being stricter or more cautious about teen driving.
Mid-level reasons:

Academic and work demands — Teens are often too busy to prioritize getting a license.
Cultural shift — The "freedom" symbol of a car isn't as powerful to Gen Z compared to past generations.
Fear of driving/accidents — Some teens feel anxiety about driving or car crashes.
Lower-level reasons (less commonly cited):

Environmental concerns — Some teens are motivated by climate awareness, but it's still a smaller group.
Access to delivery services — Convenience of getting things delivered plays a role, but it's a secondary reason.

Muslims can't get along with others, anywhere on earth. They can't even get along amongst themselves. Weirdos.

It's been a month and a half now. I understand that this is one of the more important hires in the Kirby era and Kirby always has a plan and wants to get it right, but the timing seems off. Jared Curtis is committing in a week.

What is SoFlDawg or any other purported insider nerd saying?

If players acting like a bunch of prancing roided up cornballs is what it will take to make baseball more popular for the next generation, baseball is screwed in the long run.

because Mel Kiper ever played football???




you're a fricking idiot

You never played football either. But Mel Kiper knows his shite and has a track record of being right, which is the difference between you and Mel Kiper.

Mel Kiper had him as his number 1 QB prospect, so I'll defer to Mel Kiper instead of a bunch of people on a message board.

You say it’s high risk, but why? There is nothing very risky about carbon capture. Example: Right now the ammonia plants take their CO2 waste stream and discharge it into the air. With carbon capture they will pipe it to compressors which will pressurize it into a dense phase and send it down a pipeline. That sounds much better than what we’re doing now.

So is it CO2 sequestration you are concerned about? The storing of that dense phase CO2 in underground reservoirs? That’s very safe, too. We pipe it to Class VI wells and inject it into a reservoir that has been thoroughly checked out for permeability, and it has monitoring wells that detect if the underground CO2 plume is approaching a fault or the edge of a rock cap. It’s extremely safe and low risk.

This was incredibly painful to read, proof that everybody can't be an expert on everything. Please educate us about what happens to the carbon stored by a tree once a tree dies. Please post less.
