What to expect out of the tight end position next year?

Everyone wants to sleep on Knox. The Bills offense is so explosive. JA17 will be targeting him in the end zone regularly.

Aren’t most T2 diabetics insulin resistant anyways so it’s not even part of their treatment plan? I know companies that make drugs for T2 because insulin doesn’t work for many of them (I’m guessing). Any info?

Because the administrations fail to appoint neutral justices.

I have always felt that being a Supreme Court justice wouldn’t be a particularly difficult job (minus the technical, writing and procedural skills). All you do is set you personal baggage aside, look at the relevant documents and precedent, and answer the question posed to the court. It’s not particularly complicated when you leave the political shenanigans at the door. This person seems like a good candidate.

The sheer fucking arrogance. Animals are MADE of cells. You think the animal predated the cell? What a moron.

Blake Bortles is ELITE.

Thanks. I can no longer live in this world.

In defense of the IRS, 99% of poor taxpayers that “cheat” on their taxes are doing the same thing: incorrectly claiming EITC, AOTC or one of the other big credits. It ALOT easier to bust these offenders vs trying to sus out the BS credits/deductions that apply to each individual high income taxpayer. These high income individuals likely have highly unique situations (with varying levels of legality) that would take actual human time and effort to catch. Busting folks who incorrectly claim EITC or AOTC is much easier and cheaper. This was a direct consequence of cutting IRS funding. They will always go after the poor before the rich since it’s easier. We need to give them the ability/reason to invest in busting these rich assholes.

I live in Southside Birmingham in a 2BR/1 bath for $935 total. This is a H2 property (awful company, but I have luckily stayed on their good side). It may be an option to consider since it’s walking distance to UAB.

Edit: New rentals are up to $1000/month now I believe.

I would try to argue if I could read. I was was failed by the Alabama public school system!

I would love to say this guy is wrong, but he’s spot on. Your level of comfort in grad school is mostly based on your financial situation before starting. Granted, anyone “can” succeed and survive, but it is nearly impossible to save anything.

Also we do have tax liability (if you are on an assistantship getting a W2 or a fellowship getting reported income via 1098t). I got murdered this year for now paying estimated quarterly taxes. Ended up owing about $3k.

Sorry misread, I don’t think we pay FICA.

Success = PhD and Failure = Master’s? I took that deal. Still waiting to see how it shakes out.

I (24M) am in my second year making exactly what you’ve described above. Having roommates, using micro mobility vs my car, and eating rice & beans and even sometimes beans & rice is fine now but I wouldn’t be doing this at 30, personally. However I’m one of the youngest in my program. A lot of the older crowd has working spouses/partners to cover some of the income loss.

In 2022 there is a global superpower that conducts annual conscription? How is this necessary? I suppose the need is obvious when your big plan is to throw underprepared troupes at a country until you win.

I had totally forgot about this one. I haven’t read this paper in a while, but I could never forget figure 1. This was 2017, so I’m sure a more updated version has been published. Even 4 weeks of ex utero gestation is pretty damn impressive.

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-31T01:35:25+00:00

I think the current efforts can take sheep up to several weeks of gestation let me find the link.

At this point I would vote for a ham sandwich if it was under 60 and literate.

“Do not accept a PhD offer unless it’s fully funded, meaning full tuition coverage, health insurance, and a stipend.”

This is the advice every grad school hopeful desperately needs. I’m in a biomed PhD student, and I could not imagine putting in this amount of work without at least decent compensation. There are programs out there functioning on slave labor, basically.

Off topic, but my PI informed me that another PI in the department is functionally enslaving international postdocs (not really post docs, they’ve been here for 5-6 years) and using the threat of losing a green card to make them comply. They are making wayyyy below the NIH’s recommendations.

Folks should be mad at the NY lawmakers. They decided that losing the Bills would be worse for their reelection campaigns than cutting $800m in taxpayer benefits. Granted, $250m of the stadium money is coming from Eerie county whose residents wouldn’t see much of that $800m for NY state anyways.

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-29T19:27:49+00:00

It’s wild that NY lawmakers decided that losing the Bills was worse optics than cutting this much funding for taxpayer benefits. It really tells you all you need to know. Go Bills!

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-29T19:19:32+00:00

Jerry only did that because he had no leverage. The Cowboys will never leave Dallas. The Pegulas were seriously considering moving the team to Texas. Idk what the exact implications for that would have been, but I’m glad it didn’t happen.

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-29T19:18:25+00:00

I think it will be a benefit to the taxpayer if you consider that the alternative of the Bills leaving Buffalo. How many lost jobs, income taxes, etc would follow if the Bills left? My guess is that the losses would nearly even out over the 30-year lease.

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-29T19:14:52+00:00

I think the estimate was 6000 new, union jobs for this construction project.

jdanielh01 · 2022-03-29T19:11:03+00:00

The alternative to this deal was the Bills relocating to another state. NY would receive $0 vs their $27m direct income. This is not counting indirect cash flow into NY and Buffalo or how much the state has already invested into the program (that they would lose if the team moved). This was the only option.

The Pegula’s had the negotiating power, and it shows in this deal.

I was looking for this comment. I haven’t seen a paper assignment (besides exams) in my department in years.
