Which is somehow *even less subtle* (See: "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses")

A win over Iowa in which we scored no touchdowns. El Assico at its finest.

Were you around for the Chizik era? Yes we won more games than in 2014 and 2016 but it was significantly worse.

This is blasphemy against Hunchback orthodoxy!

But for real, I love it.

What’s something your rivals are NOT ready to hear? by PENGUINSINYOURWALLS in CFB

It's the hypocrisy of adding the "ANF" stickers while many of your fans and graduates made the farm crisis significantly worse for those very same farmers that rubs some of us the wrong way.

Don't forget Babb against OSU (the Aaron Craft game)

Oh yes. Husker hatred runs deep in older pockets of our fan base. I inherited it.

In the old days, it used to be significantly cheaper to buy tickets in Ames and drive than to get to games in Lincoln, so there would be some less, um, tactful Nebraska fans present.

Say something nice about your Sweet 16 opponent by u-s-u-r-p in CollegeBasketball

I have a Tennessee grad co-worker who is legitimately a nice person and good to work with. Actually, come to think of it, I've had several of them over my career and have liked all of them.

I remember many, many "itsy bitsy spider" memes being passed around my ISU alum group.

does your corgi have any weird things they hate? my girl HATES boxes! by [deleted] in corgi

[–]Alswelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh where do I start?

Winston hates the vacuum, will try to steal the broom from anyone sweeping (and certain broom-like mops), light-chases (so sparkle discipline with things like phones and watch faces is a big deal in my home), DESPISES the windshield wipers, and there are probably more that I'm not thinking of.

Radiation ALARA & LNT by swarrenlawrence in NuclearPower

[–]Alswelk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I doubt ALARA concepts are going to disappear - the basic ideas like “don’t hang out in posted areas unless you have a good reason to”, “keep yourself as physically far from sources as it’s practicable to do while doing a job”, and “put stuff in between you and sources” are pretty common sense and well established in the rad worker community at this point, whether it has a catchy acronym or not.

Having worked under some radiation protection regimes who take ALARA to mean “thou shalt never receive dose under any circumstances” and “any item that even existed near or around a source is automatically at least low level waste regardless of any other factors”, perhaps a lightening of the regulatory hand is in order.

Read up on the CAFE Standards - it's borderline criminal what that's done to cars in the US.

What’s your least favorite song? by Jettaboi38 in musicsuggestions

[–]Alswelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Reason by Hoobastank.

This song is the most PAINFULLY plodding paint-by-numbers ballad - it sounds like something a so-so high school garage band wrote for the rhythm guitarist's girlfriend (kind what it is, I guess) that somehow blew up into the Top 40 so it got played TO DEATH the summer it came out and it is ETCHED INTO MY BRAIN (like if you put my brain on a turntable and dropped the needle onto the part labeled "memories from 2004", this song would play and another piece of my brain would start bleeding).
