re: Shaq Graduated with Masters

Another degree for the best flat earth troll out there.
Going to quote what the other poster said and add some context and advice from the business side.
quote:

So NOT tell anyone at work this. You will be let go.

This is 100% correct and here's why. Get the testing done first, if you have some kind of degenerative cognitive disorder that gets discovered while you are employed, you have considerable protections under Federal law that prevents them from outright terminating you.

Has even more implications if you have unvested assets like stock or pensions.

Prayers for you and I hope all the testing comes back negative. Everyone loses focus from time to time as well, and I find as I age its harder to keep focus. I'd rather be pursuing my hobbies or spending time with my family, but owning businesses doesn't afford opportunities to lose focus. Hoping to retire in 5 years and sell my business assets.

US has become world leader in oil exports amid Iran war

Let's see how well that does us when we have physical shortages in the States and half of you morons on welfare won't be able to afford food. I'm sure you Trump-worshiping clowns will still try to spin this as a good thing though.
There's a Dick's Sanitation in Minnesota as well (I have some family up there). The trash industry has some funny named companies out there.
quote:

Drone warfare should make the Pentagon step back and realize that the way battles and wars were prosecuted before today should be considered obsolete. If we insist on having tanks and armoured vehicles in the future, then a large amount of money and time need to be spent on anti-drone warfare.

You're getting downvoted here but you are right. If our multi-billion dollar defense industry paid attention to the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020 and all of the lessons from the war in Ukraine, they should have logically concluded that conventional high-dollar mechanized solutions are nothing more than luxury coffins for conventional soldiers.

I'm truly hoping the Pentagon at least has something to at least counter the drone threat, otherwise any endeavor in the future will simply cost more lives than what the American public will tolerate.

We've also stopped innovating in the Navy as well. Everything today is (at worst) about retrofitting old ship designs or (at best) creating complex machines that take decades to work out the kinks. Meanwhile the world around us is finding innovative, affordable ways to punch above their weight.

Meanwhile our former Secretary of thr Navy's (a buddy of our infalable orange idiot) main contribution was the concept of the Trump Class Battleship.

Not trying to be anything special here but I always thought he was a one-trick pony that never really translated to the NFL. Reminded me a lot of Mingo; great at speed rush and simple gap assignments but outside of that not very versatile.

When they tried moving him into a true LB role it exposed his weaknesses. Not sure if it was a preparation issue or he didn't have the natural instincts or what, but his size limited him at the line.

Nothing wrong with the prosecution arguing that.

People metabolize at different rates, it doesn’t hold up in court because its not an empirical form of measurement, such as, measurable levels of intoxicants. The State has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were above the legal limit at the time of the incident. Such is the burden of proof and the foundation of our entire criminal justice system.

Jesus there are some liberal cuck soyboys in this thread

You serious? I couldn't stand Biden but he was lampooned for years when the price of gas was above $3, and its a fair argument that Trump impacted the price of gas directly moreso than Biden did years ago.

At least try to at least be somewhat objective otherwise you're just a shill for one side.

Our experiment isn't ending and the bleak outlook for our grandkids is overblown.

How is it overblown? The US Dollar being propped up by global oil exchange is a massive stabilizer to the inflation rate of our currency.

We have a fundamental problem with the Europeans. We feel close to them as something like 80pct of us have european roots and live a quasi-european culture.

Yet the vast majority of white/euro people here in the state left europe because they didn't like how things were going and wanted something better. We rejected the kings and nobility and establishment and economics in search of a place with more opportunity and better rule of law.

This isn't discussed enough in my opinion. This country was founded by men who largely believed we should arrange ourselves to stay out of global conflict, which at the time was Euro-centric, no matter where the war occurred. We need to ask ourselves if our political framework is compatible with being a global empire whose operations span every continent in the world.

The problem is we have structured our economy and the US dollar in such a way that outright withdrawal is not a option. We've built a house of cards and we're trying to survive a tornado of change.

My biggest issue with this whole operation is not that we are attacking Iran. They've been asking for it for some time. But please tell me why the execution of this operation seems haphazard at best? We're blowing up bridges in Iran that aren't even fully-constructed yet? Destroying civilian infrastructure that firmly places us in war crimes territory. We're just galvanizing resistance to anything we try to do there. The whole thing is a mess.

Then to make matters more interesting, shitcanning much of your senior brass right before a potential ground invasion? Is Trump, a person with no experience in war-fighting, going to be drawing up battle plans?

Kinda would.

Except for a shitty attempt at being an ACAB shitlord, what exactly about this officer makes you think he has a fragile ego?

I didn't say that all cops are bastards, but I'm glad you volunteered that statement.

I haven't met one who wouldn't (at least) look the other way or make a false statement to protect their fellow brother in blue.
I couldn't get through the whole thing, but a cop can legally order you out of the vehicle on a traffic stop. Regardless if you think the stop is valid.

That's one of two things I don’t challenge on a stop. The other is showing ID and POI. Even if its an illegal stop, you aren't going to win your case on the side of the road, and not complying with those two things almost always make these fragile ego cops fly off the handle.

If they stopped you illegally, sue them later.

I felt the admin should have stood by him and middle fingered the NCAA

Maybe but you have to understand the position. The stuff swirling around the basketball program was potentially a sea anchor to the cash cow of football. It was too large an investment not to protect.

Hindsight says that any punishment would have been vacated, but the administration thought they had to react to the laws of the land at the time. You may not agree with it but you have to see why they did it.

re: CNN bigly mad at Wade hiring

This writer used to write in Philadelphia, I'm not surprised their "style" is overly-opinionated, trashy and brash. If anyone reads CNN for sports news they deserve to be mislead anyway.

For as much as I shite on Fox, their news section on the website was pretty good when I used to read it. It was fairly impartial, and for a site like Fox, that was surprising to me. CNN has never attempted being impartial in anything.
