No one is claiming they aren't a solid duo. It's a pushback back on Jimmy's incessant troll jobs.
I get people clown on Jimmy, but there were plenty of people offering up other Iowa duos such as Gilman-Clark, McDonough-Ramos, and Strittmatter-Juergens that are pretty much a wash with Lee-DeSanto. That reminds me I left off McD-Ramos. Adding them below. McDonough in 2012 was actually was the top scoring wrestler in the list.
2021:Lee (1st 125), DeSanto (3rd 133); Total (24.5+19.5=44 NCAA Team points)
2017: Gilman (3rd 125), Clark (1st 133); Total (19.5+20=39.5)
2016: Gilman (2nd 125), Clark (2nd 133); Total (21.5+16=37.5)
2012: McDonough (1st 125), Ramos (3rd 133); Total (26+17.5=43.5)
2010: McDonough (1st 125), Dennis (2nd 133); Total (23.5+16=39.5)
2010: Dennis (2nd 133), Marion (2nd 141); Total (16+16=32)
2010: Marion (2nd 141), Metcalf (1st 149); Total (16+23=39)
2008: Perry (1st 165), Borschell (3rd 174); Total (25+18.5=43.5)
2007: Perry (1st 165), Luedke (3rd 174); Total (22+13.5=35.5)
2005: Johnston (2nd 157), Perry (2nd 165); Total (17+18=35)
2001: Strittmatter (2nd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (20*+22=42)
2001: Juergens (1st 133), Schwab (2nd 141); Total (22+19=41)
2000: Strittmatter (3rd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (18+25=43)

Like clockwork and had to make the one idiotic comment
Lee and DeSanto are definitely not the best ever duo, but pretty dang good. Iowa hasn't had NCAA champs in back to back weights since 1999. DeSanto and Lee might be Iowa's best since then. They finished 1st and 3rd in 2021. I've listed other possible Iowa 1-2s from the past 25 years below that had an average finish of at least 2nd at NCAAs. Lee being a 3x champ, 2x Hodge winner, >90% winning pct, and >80% bonus rate is probably just about the best better half of all the possible 1-2s. DeSanto is an above average 3rd placer. He had a >80% winning pct and >50% bonus rate. He also had multiple wins over multiple NCAA champs and finalists - Bravo-Young x2, Byrd x4, Gomez, Gross, Lizak x2, Lovett x2, Micic, Mueller, and Suriano.
2021: Lee (1st 125), DeSanto (3rd 133); Total (24.5+19.5=44 NCAA Team points)
2017: Gilman (3rd 125), Clark (1st 133); Total (19.5+20=39.5)
2016: Gilman (2nd 125), Clark (2nd 133); Total (21.5+16=37.5)
2010: McDonough (1st 125), Dennis (2nd 133); Total (23.5+16=39.5)
2010: Dennis (2nd 133), Marion (2nd 141); Total (16+16=32)

2001: Strittmatter (2nd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (20*+22=42)
2001: Juergens (1st 133), Schwab (2nd 141); Total (22+19=41)
2000: Strittmatter (3rd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (18+25=43)
2000: Juergens (1st 133), Schwab (3rd 141); Total (25+20.5=45.5)*I only counted advancement and bonus points starting in the round of 32 and all TFs were counted as 1.5. Strittmatter had a pig tail in 2001 which he won by fall. I did not count the points from that match, which would have added 3 to his total and the Strittmatter-Juergens total would have been 45, though at some point it became impossible for a wrestler seeded above 32 to have a pigtail, which everyone of these guys were.

Tervel Dlagnev wasn't a D1 AA but he was a D2 multiple champ who beat D1 Champ Dustin Fox at the midlands.
I think he was a 1X 5th in Texas at 215. That might not have made him a state qualifier in a lot of states, and he ends up an NCAA champ level guy with a ton of World Teams. I'm not sure anyone who reached those heights was lower in HS.
Massoma Endene who transferred to Iowa this offseason had a similar high school career. I think his best finish was 6th in Texas and didn't start wrestling until maybe his sophomore year. He won 3 D3 titles and might be Iowas 197lb starter next year. Still a long way to match Dlagnev's accomplishments.

Was the Kasak redshirt an April Fool's ruse? He obviously didn't redshirt this past season and this thread was started 4/2/2024.

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.

I agree with you on this specific technology. And on red light cameras/speed cameras. The other is the collecting of "metadata" from communications companies. So, on principles of privacy and curtailing the surveillance state I agree with you. I do think we need to apply the 4th amendment much more broadly to encompass a concept of "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" that takes into account indirect but still unreasonable searches like mass surveillance and tracking.
I meant to write "concern about privacy" in my original comment. I don't like speed/red light cameras either, but those are not as bad. One can prevent being caught up in that kind of surveillance by simply obeying the law. When they first appeared in my area someone set one on fire. The police were not able to use any footage from the camera to solve the crime because it only captured an image when someone was speeding. There was nothing to review even if undamaged from the fire.
Flock cameras monitor any car that passes it and maintains a history of the comings and goings of that vehical whether or not it is speeding, flagged as stolen, or just a regular person minding thier own business following the law. This information is shared with other flock users and can be accessed without a warrant. In some parts of the country one cannot take a drive of any significant length via the most efficient route without passing one. Mass surveillence systems like flock can create and maintain a history of the position and travel direction of all vehicles used over a pretty wide area with surprising fidelity. This can then be used by governemnt users for purposes that go far beyond what is mentioned in the article (locating stolen vehicles).
This is a win for the residents of Denver and all those that travel through the area.

The Denver City Council has voted unanimously to shutter a highly successful anti-theft auto license plate tracking system. The system was not closed due to concerns about privacy or finances. It was shut down because Democratic members believed that ICE could use the data to deport illegals.
You could argue they are doing it for the wrong reasons, but it's for the best. Flock camera systems have always been a huge privacy concern and the reason for their removal in Denver does boil down to a "concern about concern." It's just they finally violated privacy in a way the lawmakers finalyl cared about. Law enforement in many areas have access to the tracking that these systems provide without a warrant making it ripe for abuse.
I wouldn't want these in my city regardless of whether or not it might recover my stolen car.

what person here is going to travel to Iran or even the middle east in their lifetime?
I don't think many Americans are discussing Iran as a potential travel destination. It's being discussed because of its nuclear weapons program. The location of an adverse country with nuclear weapons might be relevant to our foreign policy decision. Adverse nuclear weapons next door is a more significant threat than on the other side of the world.

And then a Country bombs some underground bunkers.
YOU'D be upset about that? Because you KEEP saying Iranian Ex-Pats "don't like the Ayatollah," which is silly, they HATE the Ayatollah, but they're still mad about the US bombing their Country.
A lot of Americans don't like the president. I am sure they wouldn't like another country dropping bombs here.
Also you can't take the US bombing run in isolation. Iran was in an active conflict with another country at the time that was bombing much more than a few bunkers. The US attack makes it more difficult for Iran to defend itself in its conflict with Israel. The US only bombed everything Israel was incapable of bombing at Israel's request.
Polling shows the US attack is unpopular with a majority of Americans. Hard to imagine it would be more popular in Iran.

One thing I don't understand yet is why does it have to be a B2 that drops this bunker buster? Is it that the bomb is too big for other bombers? Is it the stealth? B1 is faster and has some stealth, why can it not be used. B52, ya no.
mspart
The wikipedia page for the bomb has a picture of one being deployed by a B52 in a test. I think they are so big that only the B2 and the B52 will work and the actual bombs that were delivered for use were made to be used with the B2.

Bottom line in a week or two, Fordow and Natanz will be gone one way or another.
If done on that timeline via an air strike it will be with American munitions dropped from American planes flown by American pilots. Any ridiculous paper trail to try and obfuscate that through selling/leasing/rebuying serves on purpose.
-
I don't think the US has ever sold a B2 to another nation. There were only like 20 of them ever built. I don't think selling Israel 10% of these is a solid idea or having them sort out the pilot situation by hiring retired pilots who maybe haven't flown it in years.
It would all be pointless. All these machinations wouldn't involve us any less in the eyes of Iran or anyone else. We'd just be putting two B2s (that we are definitely going to want back) at greater risk by selling them to Israel and having retired pilots operate them to create a paper trail no one is going to care about.

ESPN is reporting this is his second speeding ticket in the past month. Also has a 91 in a 65. He missed a court date for that one on Monday. Does missing the court date suspend his license at least until paid?

Denny Hastert, Republican speaker of the house, was brought to justice. But it's laughable to think the same could happen amiright
Are you being sarcastic? My understanding is that Hastert's crimes happened in the late 70s/early 80s and by the time they had come to light the statute of limitations had long passed. The only thing he was convicted of was structuring for how he was making the withdrawals to pay the hush money to his victims. He was sentenced to 15 months, which was above the sentencing guidelines for structuring. He was released after 13 months and is free now. He had also been retired for years from Congress so the only political hit he took was that he could no longer work as a lobbyist. Still collects his congressional pension.
In this case Strauss died years before the scandal became public. So he couldn't even be held to account at all.

There was an in depth feature on the Jordan and the scandal in the Washington Post a couple years ago when Jordan was attempting to become speaker of the house. Below is the link to it. One can circumvent the paywall by changing to reader view in their browser.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2023/jim-jordan/
This was the satement from Jordan's office when the scadal came to light in 2018 “Congressman Jordan never saw any abuse, never heard about any abuse, and never had any abuse reported to him during his time as a coach at Ohio State.”

can you explain what that means please?
Vent=ventllator. It's a device that moves air into the lungs. Used when the lungs are unable to take in enough air on their own.
ECMO=extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It's an external device. Blood is pumped from the paitient into the ECMO machine which ooxygenates its and then pumps it back into the patient. It's like a set of external artificial lungs/heart. Could also be used if the heart is too weak to move the blood on its own.

Is that what causes strep throat?
I think that is a different species of strep, Streptococcus pyogenes.
Prevnar is one of the commercial available pneumococcal vaccines. These vaccines first became available about 25 years ago and are only reccomended for young children, old people, and those at high risk. Given Askren's age when it was released and current age it's unlikely he would have received it. After this he would almost certainly be in the high risk category especially if he has a lung replacement.

The link below contains the trailer to the documentary, which for some reason doesn't mention the living stain on earth, Gym Jordan, a liar, con man, and complicit abuser still at large and doing all sorts of damage in Congress because his district is gerrymandered like a jigsaw puzzle piece to keep him in power.
https://press.wbd.com/na/media-release/hbo-original-documentary-surviving-ohio-state-debuts-june-17
That is not his district anymore. It changed for the 2022 election. Now it has a more reasonable shape. Setting that aside I doubt it was ever gerrymandered to keep him in power. Gerrymandering done most effectively will typically try and put likely voters for the opposing party in a few "safe" districts and divide the rest of the state such that they are close, but with an edge for the party drawing the lines.
It wouldn't make sense for Republicans to draw the lines to give Jordan a better chance of winning. Jordan has won every election by at least ~20% points over his Dem rival. It would make more sense for Republicans to draw his district in a convoluted way to include more likely Democratic voters so he only wins by 5-10% and the Republicans can make one of the 5 seats held by Democrats more competitive. The last election (2020) under the old districts Republicans had a 12-4 majority. Currently they only have a 10-5 majority. So it is ostensibly less gerrymandered in favour of republicans and Jordan is still winning by 35-40 points. Republicans would have been the ones drawing the lines in both 2011 and 2021.

I believe the pneumonia was caused the staph (which is a bacteria) and it's so bad that it ate away at his lungs and that's why he needs the transplant.
If his pneumonia was caused by staph then there isn't a commercially avaialble vaccine for that particular bacteria. One of the most common causes of necrotizing pneumonia according to your wikipedia link is Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. There have been commercially available vaccines for that bacteria for over 20 years. So my point is that without knowing the cause(s) of Askren's pneumonia there is no way to know if a vaccine exists that might have prevented it. It all seemed pretty speculative one way or the other to me.
