Good for her!

Why are so many movies about crime and criminals. I wonder what makes that topic so fascinating to us humans?

I am having the same problem! Does she do any zoom classes I could attend??? I have kinda defaulted to the same attitude I have about politicians...you know the old saying about how you know when a politician is lying? (A: When their lips are moving) Same for me with all media these days...

So, my daughter (GT grad) is marrying a UGa grad (who happens to be a great guy proving the exception to every rule) later this year. She has come up with the idea of putting UGa toilet paper into all the stalls at the wedding reception as a prank on her new husband. (I swear I had NOTHING to...

Maybe I am wrong, but isn't the debate over the consequences and causes, not the facts? While there has been some fiddling with data by some organizations to support their point of view, it has been my impression for some time that the fact that the earth is warming is fairly well established...

Reuters in a recent poll confirms what you are saying, in spades: https://www.poynter.org/ethics-trust/2021/us-ranks-last-among-46-countries-in-trust-in-media-reuters-institute-report-finds/ For those who don't want to click on the link: The United States ranks last in media trust — at 29% —...

Sharing facts....from yesterday's Jerusalem Post: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday that he hoped not to impose new restrictions despite a rise in the number of new virus cases, citing the lack of increase in the number of patients hospitalized. “There is an increase in the number of...

I am confused as to why you guys are having this debate in any event. It certainly appears from the historical record that there are not long term trends of increased hurricane activity (unless you choose cut-off points to try to make points...but that's not science). So...who cares about named...

The issue that remains un-discussed imho is whether the Delta variant is in fact far less lethal. Surges in case counts are almost meaningless. I should hope we would ALL realize by now that covid will be with us forever, just as the Spanish flu has mutated and is still with us every flu season...

If Israel is recommending lockdowns, I would enjoy seeing those links. I know they are reacting to the Delta variant, which has caused cases to rise again. But apparently hospitalizations and deaths have not (they have had one death in the last two weeks total). I do believe they have...

But that is what the NBA is looking for....younger guys who can take 3 years to develop, and still have a career in front of them. Not to say they won't sign an older guy if he is really impressive, but they likely don't want to wait 2-3 years for a 23 tear old to develop his skills to NBA...

Moreover, hurricane strikes aren't really up when compared to the longer term records, as best I can tell https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml That chart stops in 2004, and strikes have been higher in the last two decades, for sure, but the busiest times was actually back in the 1870-1900...

You are correct. I think folks are railing against what they perceive as outdated and overly restrictive protocols by the NCAA that were no longer consistent with the science of covid as we know it and understand it today. It is a valid criticism. To forgive it with the argument that "everyone...

Jose is older than Trae Young. Let that sink in...

I always chuckle at these threads and the linked media narratives. There is not a more fruitless endeavor than trying to predict the college football fortunes of teams the upcoming season. Everyone has been so often wrong, and so seldom correct, that it always makes me laugh at how much time...

The more I read about this situation the more convinced I am that the NCAA is still using covid PCR tests at 35 cycles or more. While the whole topic of cycles is a complex one and not a straightforward issue, the fact remains that the amount of viral load in a sample determines where in the...

It would appear based on what little i have read thus far that this isn't a case of false positives, at least for some of those on the team. I am still quite curious about the number of cycles run in the covid testing mandated by the NCAA. It is well established science that the covid testing...

More info about the N C State situation: Avent told reporters Monday an illness was running through the team but made no mention of it possibly being COVID-19. He said associate head coach Chris Hart had been sick for five or six days and that second baseman J.T. Jarrett and pitcher Cameron...

The NCAA does not require athletes, coaches and other staff working closely with a team to be tested for COVID-19 if they are fully vaccinated and showing no symptoms. Those who are not vaccinated must be tested at NCAA championships. Tests are done every other day at the CWS. Sorry...mods...
