Interesting take on Rush's Time Stand Still ... music reaches us all. Make each impression A little bit stronger Freeze this motion A little bit longer The innocence slips away… Summer’s going fast– Nights growing colder Children growing up — old friends growing older Experience slips away…

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-decoy-effect-how-you-are-influenced-to-choose-without-really-knowing-it?utm_source=pocket-newtab So next time you're out there doing that comparison shopping ...

I can agree with that. Especially given that we are talking about high school kids. Gives a chance to do both ... all-in while having some weight on the regular season progress. In essence, it just makes a 10-week "regular season" and the "real" post season starts in second game of sectionals while also getting rid of some of those #1/#2 meetings that sometimes may pop up in the first-round of sectionals.

Just curious how these geniuses keep hiring all of the "libtards?" I mean Trump's hired a bunch of them like Kelly, Mattis, Bolton, Sessions, McMaster, Tillerson, Bannon, Priebus, Scaramuchi, Flynn ... and that's just some of the ones that were hired then fired ... doesn't include the ones that "fell on their swords" like Spicer, Price, Manigault-Newman, Cohn, Cobb, Pruitt, Zinke, Nielsen, Sanders ... you know "all the best people." Guess Assange got too close and has his "libtard radar" blinded as well.

Looks like we'll get to see what happens when con men con each other since these statements were made today. Of course, Assange and his lawyers could well be lying today, but then that would make the claim about 100% accuracy questionable ... of course, if the statements today aren't lies, then that makes the previous ones lies. Either way, something's got to give.

I'm just "believing" the outlet that you pointed out ... or more precisely, its founder. After all, you stated that it has 100% accuracy rate and hasn't been proven wrong.

The newer technologies that are out there in other areas too, such as optics and refined motor movement, are also making this kind of thing transferable into other areas. Where you used to see the big bandsaw in the mills to cut large rough boards, you are now seeing the cutting done at the near micro-level and with much more refinement in areas like gear production and even medicine. That's an interesting observation on China too. There's been a long misunderstanding that China was only a competitor more on cheap and plentiful labor. I often discuss in my classes that the use of automation and technology need not necessarily lead to workforce reductions, but instead in an increase in added-value services. If you can "redirect" the workforce into a value-add service as opposed to the sheer manufacturing labor component, you can potentially find ways to "feed the monster."

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Any idea off the top of your head, or from reading or experience, what's the payback period on a machine like that?

Must have me confused with someone else. I'm the guy who's not a big fan of high school debate shtick tactics. Speaking of reactionary ...

And therein lies the rub ... in your second line you stated that the SCHOOLS DECIDED that football is not part of their athletic menu. DECIDE!!!! You've been pitching out policies about what should mandate or force schools to contract or shutter their programs. It's their decision and should be theirs alone. And now it's the growing power of women in the household having a detrimental impact on Indiana football? Seriously? What's next? An attempt to "contract" the 19th Amendment?

OK, I gotta admit ... that was humorous.

That's an interesting near coincidence ... not counting, potentially, today and tomorrow, it's been almost 250 days of golfing for Trump ... who famously claimed that there wouldn't be time for such as he attacked the former president. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-golf-mar-a-lago-taxpayers-001531310.html FTA: As he began his own run for the White House, candidate Trump repeatedly promised that golf would never make it onto a President Trump’s schedule. “I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he told a rally audience in February 2016, referring to his courses in Scotland and Miami. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.” Yet after three years in office, Trump has spent two-and-a-half times as many days on a golf course as Obama had done at the same point in his first term. If Trump plays golf both Saturday and Sunday, he will have played 248 times. Obama by his 1,123rd day in office had played 92 times. And because Trump insists on playing at courses he owns, the cost to taxpayers has been nearly four times as high as it was for Obama. More than two-thirds of Trump’s golf outings involve seven-figure trips aboard Air Force One, mainly to Florida and New Jersey, but also to Los Angeles, Ireland and Scotland. Obama, in contrast, played most of his golf on courses at military bases within a short drive of the White House. What’s more, Trump’s insistence on playing at courses he owns and profits from has put at least a few million taxpayer dollars into Trump’s cash registers in the form of hotel room and restaurant charges for the White House staff and Secret Service agents who accompany him.

Came across my reading feeds this morning ... not sure why. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-curious-case-of-the-bog-bodies?utm_source=pocket-newtab Always end up with suggested reading items that are off the norm of my regular reading trends. Helps me stay well-rounded and also occasionally provides some really interesting reading that sparks additional interest or reading ... also provides a nice "distraction" for the day too.

Already been eating "borrowed bread" for a long time. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a30852534/trump-deficit-national-debt-monica-crowley-fox-business/

Similar sentiment may well apply with the President, his taxes, business dealings, and history with women.

Respect from adversaries ... https://sports.yahoo.com/raheem-moster-says-hes-giving-damien-williams-his-super-bowl-jersey-back-013209812.html This is something that I try to explain to my youth players on the field. Football players are a unique "warrior class" that share a lot in common with the guy across the ball. You can spend the entire game going hard at each other, but still have the utmost respect for the guy. In the end, there's something shared between those who have strapped on a helmet that transcends the field.

Is that you stepping in front of Willie Joe @Impartial_Observer?
