https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1779964782181011613This is great news. Iran appearing as impotent as Russia against the best available tech. Excellent deterrent to wider war.
Watched RRR over a few days and just finished. Holy crap!I gave it a shot, but couldn’t make it all the way through.
I should add that a lot more people probably could retire by 70, but want to live a more luxurious lifestyle than necessary.I agree. With no travel and a Midwest home, it’s more accessible.
And what does military intervention and whatnot have to do with it? US companies can by TVs produced thru near slave labor (we shouldn’t), and sell them to americans either way.I’m not saying it’s right, but our standard of living (the prices we pay for things, the performance of our markets, etc.) depends upon our military power.
Also, the only reason we can spend on a deficit is because of our military might.
Anyone who wants to drastically slash our military and wall ourselves off from the world better not bitch when you cannot afford new cars and homes, and can’t retire before 70. Again, I’m not saying those things are required for a happy life, but I think loads of people on the left and libertarians are naive.
Most people can’t afford new cars or retire before 70 as it is my man. No one is suggesting walling the US off from the world. Buying and selling would be just fine without a massive worldwide military apparatus.

What’s the death toll in Gaza, Pete?Very bad, though Israel is arguing that a 1:1 combatant to civilian death ratio exists. Definitely disputed by Al Jazeera.

Hyper inflation would result from isolationism. Think $2K for a tv that costs $200 today.I’ve often wondered what would happen if we just made our own iron dome, camped our fleet around our coasts and let the world do its thing elsewhere. No one would mess with the bull/eagle or they would get the horns/talons.
Isolationism is not a good thing. We've tried it before. You do realize that the U.S. Navy facilitates international commerce around the globe, right?
Ut what do you think would happen?
My 16 year old and I are loving the crap out of this. 3 episodes left. Pure gold.Prime. Second episode was fun as well.LOADS of insider nods to game concepts.
I'm jizzed to check it out. What platform?
I just finished episode 3. It hasn't loosened it's grasp on me from the get go. This is my niche (sci-fi, dystopian, etc.). I appreciate the high production value. That was to be expected as I think I saw the first trailer for it during the super bowl.

Like leaving the NCAA or changing the NCAA’s required number of sports.that tv money that you’re talking about is already spoken for elsewhere. so for your scenario to play out, something will have to give.Seems weird to build up a program to be a perennial top 20 team, win a Natty, and bail for another program. How often does that happen? I don't think very often which is why I don't see Drew leaving Baylor. Seems like he has a good thing going and he can be there as long as he wants with limited pressure from fans/AD/UP.This is true but Baylor is arguably the "lowest profile" school to win a championship in recent memory. Villanova is probably the closest comparison?
Not sure school's profile matters anymore if you have NIL support + fan/AD/UP support. I think this is why we have seen some hall of fame coaches retire in the last couple years. I don't think Kentucky/KU/UCLA/Duke/Michigan State/North Carolina names will continue to hold the weight they used to. The "name" is no longer needed to bring in great players and contend for titles. The last two years represent the new NIL landscape, and I don't think many of us would have predicted not a single Blue Blood (UCONN is now BB though) making the FF.
2024 FF Teams:
Bama, Purdue, NC State, and UCONN
2023 FF Teams:
SDST, Miami, FIU, and UCONN
I think long term, NIL support will be more closely related to profile. Higher profile/blue bloods will win in the NIL/Portal era.
NIL money will be king, program pedigree will be down the list of priorities for top recruits. What WILL be a deciding factor is the number of players the program that land in the NBA. McDonalds All-Americans don't go to Lawrentucky because of it's atmosphere or tradition, they go to KU because KU have a lot of players that make it to the NBA. When the number of players KU puts in the NBA declines, so will recruiting.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying, I just expect that in the long term NIL money and program pedigree will be more closely related than they might be now.
The turning point will be when schools are able to pay their players directly. Schools outside of the Big 10 and SEC can keep up with NIL, but they can't keep up with tv money.
90% eclipse was like 5000% dumber than 100%.Yes. It sucked
Anyone get raptured yet or nah?I was half way up and they found out that i am a Unitarian.
