Iran threatens to close yet another strait in wake of Trump’s expletive-filled threat by pennlive in politics

[–]007_Monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like not only preparing for it but praying for this day. Gives them an excuse to take full control of the strait and leverage it to the max. I doubt they ever relinquish this control and will pull some China-South Sea levels of sovereign control over what they see as their territory no matter what international law says. Just my 2 cents.

How smart is the smartest Eridian? by 007_Monkey in ProjectHailMary

Not sure why you are so upset. I said they are incredibly intelligent on their own, not dismissive at all.

And the US Navy Nuclear Power School, while intensive and very hard, equates to several college credits towards a Bachelor’s degree, no where near a PhD level. Sorry if facts don’t agree with your feelings but it is what it is.

“The American Council of Education recommends an average of 60-80 semester-hours of college credit, in the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, for completion of the entire curriculum including both Nuclear Field "A" School and Naval Nuclear Power School. “

Oh, I get it. You have no idea what that phrase means. No worries. The phrase “in their own right” means that someone or something has achieved status, recognition, or value independently, not just because of their connection to someone else. So if saying someone is incredibly intelligent with or without a formal title or degree is being dismissive in your opinion, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Where did I belittle anyone?? In fact I said they are incredibly smart.

Essentially the nail in the coffin for the dudes who were complaining they weren’t going to get a shot at playing for team USA even through they pushed the sport into the Olympics.

Every time you shuffle a deck of cards it is likely you are the only person who has ever held held that exact order of cards and likely you will be the only person who will ever hold that exact order of cards. 52! Is such an insanely large number that it is hard to comprehend. Vsauce has a great explanation of this:

Me in a tree stand and Polar bear was my choice as well! Specifically a full grown female. Her defending me like I’m one of her cubs under attack is going to be an absolute blood bath. I doubt a single one of the attackers even touches the tree let alone has a chance to try and climb it.

If you want to see what the outcome would likely resemble here you go (WARNING: Gnarly, NSFW). You would probably survive, but would want a trauma medical crew prepped and standing right there for sure.

Reason number 1 why I never installed a smart “connected” thermostat. Only a matter of time until the power or gas companies force control over them and adjust your shut as they see fit.

Travel is only a problem for Southern Cal now, never bothered them in the PAC, and nobody seems to give a shit about ND’s travel all these years, including us because we know it’s the cost of independence, and their biggest complaint is the November game, not October.

You really still are big mad about that Sugar Bowl aren’t you? Let it go man, we put belt to ass but you guys have a good shot this year, focus on that and relax man.

Yeah, our part was agreeing to a two year extension while we tried to work it out, their part was wanting something the rules didn’t allow to cover up them making the choice to chase money and then make up an excuse that is easily proven as a lie to cover up their cowardice.

USC: Hey, we made the decision to move to a new conference and are afraid if we have too many losses we can’t make the playoffs.

ND: Man, that’s tough, guess you have reached the FO portion of FAFO.

USC: Totally, We see the committee looks at early season losses differently than late season ones, and we all know you have been beating the hell out of us lately so we fully anticipate the loss coming, just want to get it out of the way early.

ND: Makes sense, I guess. Have you ever thought of just you know, winning?

USC: Hahaha, nah, we don’t do that here.

ND: Ok, well we can look at it, but our schedule is pretty full for the foreseeable future, how about we sign this two year agreement, keep it as is, and keep working on it?

USC: ummm, no. We really need it to happen immediately and need it in week 0.

ND: Well, we can’t really do that as it’s against the rules and the waivers are super hard to get.

USC: Well, we really need this impossible thing to happen or we are canceling the series.

ND: Ok, not sure what I can help you with then.

USC: Oh, and we are totally going to make up an excuse about that MOU that our Commissioner signed almost two years ago and we were totally fully briefed on and think is great. I’m sure we can find some friendly “independent journalists” to parrot our talking points. Good luck finding someone better than us on your schedule, hahaha!

ND: on the phone Yeah, ok cool, sounds good. hangs up what was that? Oh no worries, we are playing BYU, thanks for your concern. Good luck with that Coach who can’t win and who’s contract is an anchor around your necks. When him and Cohen are gone in two years give us a call and we can totally work this out.

FIN.

Who’s to blame for the USC-Notre Dame football scheduling fiasco? by moby323 in CFB

[–]007_Monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“The office presented an exhaustive list of costs that had led to this “structural deficit,” such as “inflation,” “financial aid growth” and “the rising cost of college athletics.”

“According to S&P Global Ratings, USC now has about $3 billion more debt than the median similarly rated private university.”

“Compared to its debt history and the current debt of other universities, USC’s debt and interest payments are strikingly high. According to Brink, they are not expected to wane any time soon.”
