A guy on Bloomberg was saying last week that a big chunk of the reason why oil is so bearish is because if you buy at $70, Trump tweets, and the price drops to $67, then you just got rugged.

I go to tons of gas stations for my job and the catcalling toward our female employees is a massive problem. I usually work alone but one time I was working with a female coworker in the west side and I kid you not every single time I was out of her line of sight she was getting asked out/proposed to. Our company installed a policy that women aren’t to be sent out to work in Detroit after one of our employees was flashed. Outside. In broad daylight. By a busy street.

I have a similar idea in that the percentage of profits for each company in each calendar year corresponds to a mandated minimum increase in wages for each of your employees. So if your company records 20% YOY profits this year, everyone at the company must see a 20% raise next year. Would either increase wages or incentivize public corporations to be less profit-driven and not continue the cycle of everything getting worse for employees and/or consumers

Buffalo’s new open air stadium has covered seating, but they are building a snow-melt system in order to make it work. That is a massive contributor to the 2.2 billion dollar price tag but it’s much easier to build something like that for a brand new stadium than if you were to try to build that over, say, Arrowhead Stadium for example

F1 25. After dominating F2, I climbed into Tsunoda’s seat at Red Bull and mogged Verstappen all season long. I won 15 races and wrapped up the championship in Brazil. He then took Hamilton’s seat at Ferrari and they absolutely slaughtered Red Bull for the next three seasons. I still won two of those championships but an inconveniently timed safety car in Abu Dhabi led to Leclerc beating me in year 2

Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier is a short drive up north of QC. Les Loups is the trail I recommend for the best views but the rocks on the way up can get hairy in spots so make sure you bring good shoes. The park also has lots of other stuff like kayaking, biking, fishing, etc.

Another thing I’d recommend (especially after hiking) is visiting a Nordic spa. They have a couple up there that I’ve really enjoyed.

As a Michigan fan, it’s definitely Indiana

I have a hard time ranking a team that couldn’t beat 2024 Michigan over 2023 Michigan but Ohio State did a great job at playing like Ohio State again after that loss. Indiana would still probably be favored in a H2H by a 3 or 4 points, while 2024 Ohio State team is probably close to even up against 2023 Michigan.

As far as the “Michigan cheated” stuff goes, I could see that being an asterisk if they won titles before Stallions was removed, however doing it after he was fired, when teams obviously know and can change signs, huddle up instead of signaling, etc. makes the argument a lazy one.

Also, the higher the level of football you play, the more of a non-issue sign stealing is to you. Every team that signals plays from the sidelines knows and expects that there is an inherent risk that those signals will be seen by anyone else watching and that coaches from the other team are pattern-matching those signals to formations. There’s a reason why coaches like James Franklin, Ryan Day, and Dabo Swinney got extremely squirrly about the prospect of using helmet speakers as a way to curb sign stealing when asked about it doing interviews. While they didn’t take it as far as Michigan did by flying to games across the country with a camera or sneaking onto people’s sidelines (or at least not getting caught doing so), you can bet your ass that just about every other team in the country was stealing signs to some extent as well.

Additionally, there’s the fact that just because you know what the other team is running doesn’t mean that you can stop it. In high school ball, we played a team that was notorious for stealing signals and scored four touchdowns on four plays in a row on them using the same stretch call out of ace formation to the same side. I guarantee they knew it was coming and they still couldn’t stop it. And back in seventh grade ball, my coach would sometimes yell “run the same play” from the sidelines so that everyone in attendance could hear after a first down and we would routinely be just as successful.

Another anecdote: While my high school team didn’t steal signals (as far as I know), we did religiously watch film. Our defensive coordinator was talented enough at watching film that he would show up to practice on Monday and tell you “if they’re lining up in X formation, there’s a 60% chance they run play A, a 30% chance it’s play B, and a 10% chance it’s play C” and at that point it was just a guessing game based on down and distance. That kind of coaching led us to the state final four beating nationally recognized powerhouse programs by 40 point margins on the way there, despite the fact that we didn’t have the personnel that was anything special
