For some reason my wife had to study the flag code and it was pretty LOL to have all the flag code violations pointed out
Nothing good ever comes from assaulting a cop....especially in Tejas.
Indeed. A little off topic but Texas law actually allows a city or county to seize your vehicle and cash without even charging you.
People affected by a hurt "local economy" (ie people with money) ...
The ignorance is palpable.
Thanks for the contribution, meow meow.

The irony wears thiner and thiner, every day, on this thread
That last one will never happen, FWIW.
It'd be nice if they just gave up on the idea all together.
Honestly they should, that was really the point of my post, that it's not going to happen. Anyone who knows anything about college football and has ever seen WSU's facilities knows that they are a long time and a lot of money away from being able to field a team and even farther away from a competitive one, even at fcs level.
What's best for that athletic department would be focusing on adding soccer (could play at Cessna Stadium) and keeping their current sports and facilities at a reasonable
level.
We will know they are serious about football when there is a mysterious arson that burns their fb stuff to the ground. Lawrence loves arson for insurance(from what a few Lawrence bros tell me). Would be the most likely way for them to actually come up with some money to build, too.
All of those numbers are the rosiest lab numbers you could imagine and thus producing any clinical effect would undoubtedly make them inpractical. The fact that even the best case increases weight and cost by over 10% highlights how improbable this dumbshit idea is.
I heard magnets cure cancer too, why don't you go run off an google that and share the results with everyone.I don't think it'll ever work well enough to be a product. But it's an interesting experiment. Dismissing things off hand is never a good way to make progress.WTF are you even doing here, bro?
Magnets, how do they work? LOLZ
The added weight of a magnet large enough to repel another magnet when slammed into each other would make them dangerous when striking any other part of the body...
and the cost associated with all that rare-earth magnet material would make them prohibitively expensive (and probably run the world out of rare earth magnets, if you think about how many they'd need)
Also, wearing a high powered magnet on your head, all day, every day would have zero affect on your health.
I am not a doctor, but I don't get why the sudden stop isn't an issue. What is the top speed of an NFL corner back? Whatever it is, when they reach that speed, their brain is traveling at that speed. When their head suddenly stops, how do you transfer/absorb impact enough over a distance of millimeters(?) to stop their brain from slamming into the inside of the skull? Such a method would have to be inside the skull to work fully. It's like you in your car. When you car smashes into someone, you go forward into your airbag/windshield/seatbelt/etc and can get hurt by impacting those things. If we could design enough impact absorption over such a small space as the distance from the outside of a helmet to the outside surface of the brain, why have we not implemented such things in the much larger distance btwn driver and windshield?
Unless you mean, the sudden start of the brain to move forward after the rest of the body has stopped? Am I not interpreting what you are saying?
i imagine the problem will be solved by better helmets
Not unless better means different and different means less protective. Supposedly, the issue is the slight movement of the brain inside the skull. No matter how hard, protective, or whatevs, you make a helmet, you can't prevent what happens to the brain when the physics of it (once the brain is in motion, it tends to stay in motion) is what it is. I mean, you would have to fix the brain to the skull, then package that in a helmet that wouldn't cause damage. That isn't going to happen.
No. Your physics and kinesiology understanding are bad.
Well, that sucks because the above described is paraphrasing of more than a couple doctor interviews I have heard in the last 2 yrs or so.
I mean, if you have an organ surrounded mostly by liquid inside an enclosure, then take that enclosure and speed it up a bunch and make it come to a sudden hard stop, the organ in the liquid is going to keep moving in that liquid until it hits the inside of the enclosure.
Tell me why that is wrong using physics and kinesiology.
