Where does one find the HR forum?

I see the PSU haters are out in full force in this thread. If it were up to this crowd, Brooks would be banned for life, jailed, and sterilized for good measure. Brooks was boneheaded, no doubt. Not reading the label of a natural supplement is a inexcusable, pneumonia or not, so I'm not sympathetic. I'm also ticked that his actions will hurt the strength of Team USA. But saying he's outright lying and intending to cheat, without a lick of evidence, is pretty nasty stuff. If the USADA decides otherwise, then I'll defer to that finding, as there may be more to the story. But if the USADA determines this was a result of negligence, and not an intent to cheat, is this crowd going to collectively petition the USADA to reconsider, and to impose a harsher punishment? It used to be the case that when a guy graduated and was on the World team, the entire USA wrestling community would be behind him. I guess not so anymore. I can just see some of you guys cheering like maniacs when Ramazanov came from behind to beat him at the Olympic semis. Best day of your life, eh? I guess some guys just can't get over the beatings Brooks gave your team in his college days.

That's one way to solve a log jam I wish Arnold a healthy and successful career, if he decides to continue to pursue it.

There may be some truth tho that. To the rational person, thought of escape would seem very dangerous and not worth the risk. But we know prisons are not filled with rational people so maybe they don't think that way. My guess is that a few try and after that they don't because they all of the sudden become more rational. Puny alligators and pythons, what's the big deal. mspart

Ah, how did I not think of him sooner?! The famous Les Anderson of Iowa State managed the feat in 1958, 1959, and 1960. Who could forget the #2 seed Anderson pulling the 7-5 upset over Michigan's #1 seeded Max Pearson? Les' dreams of being a three-timer were famously thwarted when he fell to Oklahoma's Stan Abel in 1959. We all know the story of how Les Anderson moved up from 130 to 137 for his final season where he once again stood atop the podium to finish his college career.

That has what to do with Trump Caving to Canada which he didn't, the opposite happened. mspart

Willie posted "had nothing to do with Bobs post"

I think insurance companies didn't have to worry about the amount of stolen vehicles much before the cameras went up, as the increase in stolen vehicles is a more recent thing. With the cameras, their payout was reduced. Without the cameras, their payout will increase. They don't like that so rates will go up. That's how I see it. mspart

I guess Bob has yet to call him out publicly like he did with Williams and Arnold.

you wish

I don't know that these systems reduce the number of cars that get stolen. The data would be interesting to look at though I assume it would be provided by Flock who has an interest in selling these camera systems and representing them as useful. I suspect where they make a difference is in recovery more than prevention. Lower recovery might drive up insurance rates, but it may not be that significant. Often recovered vehicles don't have much residual value. The news reports I've seen on this credit them with involvment of 170-180 cars recovered since 2024. Now some of those would have been recovered anyway, but at a cost of $666,000 to operate the system that's like $3700/recovery. That might give the systems too much credit because the some would be recovered anyway, but the cameras also provided some evidence that helped solve other serious crimes. The problem is that the intended use for the cameras by the people in the legislative body signing off on paying the bill might not match with how it is used in practice. It would be less problematic if the system would only record the whereabouts of cars that are stolen or part of a felony and with a warrant signed by a judge. That isn't how they get used. Maybe the Denver police only use them for help locating cars tied to serious crimes - stolen cars, bank robberies, amber alerts, etc. If the police choose to share their data with other flock users than any agency with a Flock system can view it without a warrant and use it how they see fit. My brother is a police officer and he says that at work they often use these data on routine traffic stops. If he gets to feeling like maybe the driver is transporting something illegal he might ask some questions about where they are coming from/heading to things like that. Then when he goes back to run their driver's license he checks the license plate reader data. If, for example, someone said they were coming from Maine heading to Florida and the systems says a flock camera in Denver scanned their plate yesterday he will take that as a sign that could be transporting something illegal and lying to throw him off. He will then look for a reason to search the vehicle. It would be smart for city council to focus on the privacy concerns because at the end of the day that is the problem. I suspect whether the story focuses more on privacy vs immigration might depend more on the news outlet reporting the story. City council members likely mentioned both.

Bailey next?

The “big bad news” is Gabe leaving. Better that, than having a coach cover up SA

Bob strikes again

There were some rumors on Facebook that are not good... We will see what comes out. The rumors would meet the criteria for big, bad news.

What goes around comes around Does God hate tough wrestling?

All this talk of ChatGPT and I had to try my hand at it.

And now Marchand six years for 32 million. Smells like Rodriguez will be moved but the Rats are loaded through 2030. Good luck to the rest of the NHL.

someone on HR mentioned big, bad news was coming.

What does it mean to be dismissed as it pertains to the already closed transfer portal? That he can transfer this year but wouldn't be eligible to wrestle until next year? Any thoughts?

I won't believe it until Jawn Cena reports it.

Indeed he has to because he is. Nailed it.

Sorry - mental hiccup. This is fun though

The addition of the cameras did not affect insurance rates, so I don’t see why the removal of them would. Tricky subject. I like the idea of assisting (and the key word being assisting, not guaranteeing) in retrieving stolen cars. I would have to look at some stats at what the retrieval rate was before and during the cameras before making any kind of opinion on how much it helps. Generally speaking, I wouldn’t want those cameras for that assistance at the expense of the government following me around. And there’s nothing to say the only thing they did with those cameras was look when a car was stolen. At the same time, driving these roads is a public space, not my private home. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Tricky indeed.
