Hilarious.

But I’d have a hard time explaining to Aliens that if you throw rocks at ducks, you get the cuffs. But if you blow them away, no problem because you paid the government.

Fair. I think the computer strapped, work from home types are doing a lot more nothing than most blue collar people though. And there’s some people that aren’t even home at their computer “working from home.”

The SEC is the WWE with a bad TV contract. I’d leave, but for the Big 10, not ACC.
With a college degree you can sit around all day posting on websites while making just as much as a blue collar worker, while working half the hours with vacations and supporting kids, no back problems, etc. The college educated class is the protected class. If you have a choice, you should still pick that life, the quality is way better. This could change with AI but it won’t be for the betterment of the worker. Just lower wages, and more super yachts.

That plant has been shutdown since 2022. I don’t think 300 cpm is a lot. The chemicals in the water might be worse than the radiation.
Love these threads where a bunch of dudes who drive full size trucks tell everybody they should buy a Corolla. Not taking a moment to think about why they bought the full size truck.

Do you understand how this works? Legit question.


I do not work on that side. But it’s pretty basic information that renewable energy credits allowed solar and wind to operate at negative wholesale rates. And it is also just fact that many single unit nuclear plants were shutdown during this period because they cannot compete in that environment as a baseload power source. They simply can’t pay for people to take their power.

It wasn’t until the last couple of years that this changed.

You do realize nuclear had the same subsidization structure as wind and solar right?


That’s not true. For most of the last 20 years, wind and solar could operate at negative prices due to subsidies. At the same time single unit nuclear plants were shutting down due to non-competitiveness.
The good teams are good at cheating. Brady did it his whole career and the NFL is still changing rules for him. It’s the WWE.

I still put some weight in team talent / recruiting rankings and Georgia stills has double the blue chip talent. The Vols advantage at the cornerback position is gone to injury too. Still the same team in the middle of the defense too. I just don’t see this game as changed form prior years.

In their second run of superbowls, when Tom Brady’s shell company was being paid, he averaged 60% of the top QB cap hit and was right in the middle of QB salaries. His pay cut, about $10M, was the equivalent of a Pro Bowl defender for those years.

I've suspected for a long time that the Patriots did this with Tom Brady/TB12, too.


Deflategate was not about deflating balls but getting some evidence on TB12 salary cap avoidance. Deflategate was too dumb on its own to make any sense. Coincidentally Tom’s phone was too broke to turn over.

It’s why Tom Brady was paid half his going rate for 20 years.

I love when people predict the Braves to do something they’ve literally never done, sign a big FA. Their biggest FA contract is still BJ Upton.
The difference in those outs is less than what starters have to manage. Going through a lineup three times is harder. Not being setup based on lefty/righty matchups is harder. Sitting through long innings is harder. I don’t see any reason to give closers some bump because they get cool walkout music and some fans yelling.
Three outs are three outs. And you have to do it over multiple turns through the lineup. If anything the gap in worth between relievers and starters isn’t seen as big enough.
There was a sport science clip with Drew Brees where he was more accurate than some pro archer. Not being able to hit the net seems like a problem.
