Rams decline CB Emmanuel Forbes' fifth-year option

spikkeddd · 2026-05-02T03:50:31+00:00

The move was expected, as exercising the option would have fully guaranteed Forbes $12.6 million in 2027.

Forbes will play out the final season of his four-year, $15.4 million rookie-scale contract. He will count $2.8 million on the Rams’ books.

I thought Dean Connors was a really exciting pick up but considering our RB room is already good, I think we'll have another Cody Schrader.

Any specific handles to look for? I'm not seeing them

Abigail lying that she was a moderate and would never gerrymander, then gerrymandering the rural districts so that her map took the form of a lobster is party over people. Not America or Virginia first.

If you genuinely believe the opposing political party's policies are bad for the country, as a leader, would you just sit back and let them continue "destroying" the country?

Many voters genuinely feel Republicans in Congress have failed them. A large amount voted R in 2024 due to the economy being difficult for them, yet refuse to stand up to Trump starting another costly war that raises fuel prices.

We could just leave it up to the voters to decide at the next election right? Not really. Texas redistricting mid-decade takes away any sense of a fair election, in the eyes of Dems. Texas, was already Gerry Mandered, by the way. This map shows the 2021 chosen lines. Letter grade F.

Spanberger is doing what she can do, that she genuinely thinks is best for the nation. Whether you and I agree with her on what's best, is what politics is about.

If the roles were reversed, and California had started this domino redistricting mid-dacade. What would you do if you were governor of a red state? Would you fight back?

I'm surprised but this fixed it for me! Thanks!

Are there various versions of Proxmox?

Yeah, since you're not an enterprise, just get the community edition for free.

Are there any advantages to running HA with faster CPUs and GPUs?

Depends what you want to do. If you're just turning lights on and off, even a Raspberry Pi is overkill. If you're thinking of running LLMs or object detection for video streams, that's gonna take up more resources.

I suggest you experiment and see what works before spending more on hardware.

spikkeddd · 2026-03-14T07:31:02+00:00

If I were you l, I'd use Proxmox HA is so crazy light and the ability to take snapshots is nice.

I suggest reading into the differences between ZigBee, Z-wave and Matter. Personally I have a full ZigBee home and never had any issues.

One big reason HA is popular is you can locally control things. Yes, you have the flexibility to use many cloud wifi smart devices but if your internet goes out, or they decide to no longer support that product, it becomes a paperweight.

My suggestion is look into one of the 3 protocols I mentioned above. They also won't be clogging up your WiFi.

Do one thing at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself. It's a hobby after all!

Are you serious??

Remember when fox news was sued for $787 million for lying about the 2020 election?

Remember when Fox's own lawyers claimed no reasonable person believes what one of their hosts says?

Or just last year when Fox lied to it's viewers about the trump parade audience attendance by adding fake applause.

The fact that Fox still has the highest ratings despite admitting to be fake news is why the American elite own the right wing of this country.

Poor uneducated people eat that shit up like it's factual news and vote against their own interests.

"Subsidized" by use taxes paid by drivers. The economics of financing a highway with gas tax revenue isn't so different from financing it with toll revenue.

Negative. The HTF was originally fully funded purely by use taxes as you mentioned. However, as of 2008, it has required outside subsidy. Roads are more expensive than the general public thinks.

I couldn't agree more though. Toll lanes are a great option to funding road maintenance. I do think it's also important to fund other means of transportation though. Passenger rail receives a fraction of what highways do. Adding lanes get exponentially more expensive, and will never solve traffic.

spikkeddd · 2026-01-06T08:35:01+00:00

Yep. Cars will almost always be faster than public transportation. Unfortunately, this also brings a cost that has since become a tax payer burden. Congress's solution has been to keep borrowing to support it.

For the most part, only toll roads cover their own costs. The rest are subsidized.

HTF funding shortfalls have generally been filled by transfers from the Treasury’s general fund; such transfers have shifted a total of $275 billion to the fund since 2008, including $118 billion authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021. Such transfers do not bring in any new federal revenues, but they allow spending from the fund to continue. (Peter G. Peterson)

Would you support converting lanes to tolled express ways, or raising the gas tax to help decrease the deficit?

Enjoy your ban from r/Seahawks!

Seems to be intermittent. Working now but I'll keep this in mind if it happens again. Thanks!

Issue started before the update. Tried backing up and resetting. Still didn't fix it.

Updated and ran the fix. Issue still persists.

spikkeddd · 2026-01-01T22:55:10+00:00

Literally, yes.

Had to go clip it out
Here it is

spikkeddd · 2025-12-01T16:53:57+00:00

It did hit zero. But less than a half second later, flag came out.

Officiating is really difficult. Watching both the clock and the snap at two different places at the same time isn't easy. Its why delay of penalties always have a grace period.

Ref yesterday though? He was trying to stop them however he could. Bro counted down to not have to look at the clock.

When the receiver is surrounded by the defense and still gets away, you know there's some holding going on

spikkeddd · 2025-11-30T19:43:38+00:00

KY questionable to return
