I get that part. What I do not get is why the start date of their affair matters.

You don't have google?

I am still unclear on why it matters.

If we take the statements about the filing at face value, without yet examining the actual filing, or hearing a rebuttal of the conclusions, isn't "he was in her condo" just a possible reason? Presumably if he is in any building in proximity to the tower it will result in him hitting that tower. Without knowing more, it is more likely that he is in any other location that hits that tower than in the one specific location of her condo. That presumes that her condo is not the only location that hits the tower. Now, not having followed this part of the case at all, what difference does it make if they were smashing it? Serious question.

Which raises other questions. Are you allowed to wrestle with COVID these days? Do they even test for that anymore? If you feel crappy, do they just say "hope you feel better"? Or do they do a COVID test? If so, is a positive a mandatory "do not wrestle"? Or is it like a cold or flu? You can wrestle if you feel well enough. And speaking of a cold or flu, if you can wrestle when you feel well enough with a cold or flu, is there a protocol that takes into account the other wrestler? Or is it just a gentlemen's agreement? I won't wrestle if I think I am sick so I don't get you sick.

Having asked the question about the asterisk, @Interviewed_at_Weehawken has me convinced*. * No asterisk.

What did Tucker leave out of his economics lesson? The per capita household income in Russia in 2023 was $7,083, down 11% from 2022 (https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/russia/annual-household-income-per-capita). So at $100 for a week of food for the crew that comes to $5,200 for a year, or 73.5% of annual household income. Meanwhile, in the capitalist hellscape known as the USA those groceries cost $400, by Carlson's completely unbiased estimate, or $20,800 which is 53.1% of per capita income. Stay in Russia Tucker.

How, exactly, are you measuring "very beneficial for Russian business"? Or are you just watching too much Tucker Carlson makes shit up about Russia? "Holy cow, groceries are cheaper in Russia (but lets ignore that they are multiple times more expensive as a percentage of income, because I think my viewers are that dumb)."

I love this one.

How much doesn't? Race.

No. Especially when loan forgiveness is used as an incentive to take a job they would not have otherwise taken. You might as well say the GI Bill is as a result of a bad choice.

Say O'Toole does the deed. Is he a four-timer, or a four-timer* ?

You have become very dull.

Who says the forgiveness is only about poor choices?

On the pro side, this would be a one of one match. One guy going for five, the other going for four in five and up a weight. Can't ever happen again. But that is also the con.

Nick Lee playing the classics.

One and the same. I just looked at his wrestlestat page. I did not realize he lost to Franek 4 times last year. Will Franek still be his personal kryptonite again this year?

While @BigRedFan reports that Ryan Crookham and Luke Stanich have been holed up in a cave gathering their strength for the coming battles that will decide the war, they remain the two brightest stars on the season. As mentioned in the projections thread, they have come from unranked to the #1 and #2 ranked at their respective weights. But who else is making moves? Below is the list of wrestlers who are 1.) currently ranked and 2.) have made the biggest jump in expected points scored at the NCAA tournament from the pre-season to now. Unfortunately, jumps occur in both directions. We see you, Cooper Flynn (was unranked, is #3) and Vince Zerban (was #13, is #2). In Chris Foca's defense he is the only wrestler listed who changed weights in the rankings (was #2 at 174, is #8 at 184).

“These guys are in great shape and just their core temperature is, on average, lower than the general population. A small spike in their temperature is different than somebody who’s just coming in off the street" Is that a thing? If so, I was not aware of it.

I am a proponent of that, too. Pay your debts. But payment sometimes comes in different forms. Sometimes payment is cash, sometimes it is goods, sometimes it is services. We also live in a country where some necessary jobs are hard to fill. So incentives are offered to fill those jobs. Some of the loan forgiveness is just that, an incentive to get someone to do something they would not have otherwise done. If you agree to take this undesirable job we will pay you in two ways: cash, but not a lot of it, and loan forgiveness. But to get that loan forgiveness, you must first do this thing that you do not want to do, but that serves a public good. For this reason, I have not objected to many of the loan forgiveness programs. For the same reason, I am diametrically opposed to the original Biden plan to blanket forgive loans. That way lies madness.

I pointed this out last week, but it is worth reiterating. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks have been on a roll this season. Based on pre-season rankings, Lehigh was expected to score 19 points at the NCAA tournament, good for 27th, with the largest share coming from Connor McGonagle at 133 as the #8 ranked wrestler in the weight. My how things have changed. McGonagle last wrestled a month and a half ago at the David Lehman Open. And Ryan Crookham (or as it was spelled before his family moved from the old country, Crooham), has taken 133 by the throat to sit atop the rankings. Joining Crookham in storming the rankings are: Luke Stanich, who went from unranked in the pre-season to #2 at 125 (I know, everyone thinks their guy is #2 at 125), Michael Beard, who went from #10 in the pre-season to #3 at 197, Nathan Taylor, who went from #19 in the pre-season to #8 at 285. On the back of these impressive performances this season, the Mountain Hawks now project as a top 10 team with 64.5 points. And with the spread between 4 and 11 so tight this year, I would not be surprised to see them standing on the podium completely pissed off that this is the year the NCAA decided to cheap out on trophies. I mean, with $1.3 billion in revenue in 2023 and $565 million in assets, I understand the NCAA's need to tighten the belt on those fourth place trophies. Have you seen trophy inflation this year? Now can we talk about Missouri? Same graph, different highlight. And the race for the title got "tighter".
