Le duke

Seems pretty likely, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they send out Shunk, Evans, Claw, one of the Lees, Donovan Ball, and a good number of other backups.

And you think Kerk ducked...checks notes...Slavikouski, from Rutgers? The guy that PSU's backup 197 beat? Oh, ok.

Huh? This one is Mylar, carrying a 2’ cube. This is last year: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Chinese_balloon_incident It’s white (not Mylar), carrying a solar array 40’ across and carrying multiple payloads bigger than the entire payload in this incident. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Given that the descriptions of the balloons and their payloads is distinctly different, saying that it’s “obviously the same thing” is a dramatic statement that is pretty demonstrably false. And, why wouldn’t “we” know about it? It’s Mylar. Very shiny. Anyone with a pair of high power binoculars could see it, and a decent camera could pick it up well enough, too. But, it’s in US airspace, so exercise or not, if the public has seen it, they’re going to address it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They might not know. Or, sending interceptors might be part of it. That’s literally how some military exercises work. Enhances realism. If you don’t know it’s an exercise, it’s a better test of capabilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, NORAD doesn’t do those things. For all we know, this could be a US exercise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are things that the US military can do… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s going around. Penn State got hammered by it the last couple weeks. Who would imagine that a sport where you are in extremely close proximity to a half dozen guys, who are in extremely close proximity to other people, five or six days a week, could have people get sick from a highly contagious illness?

Do you know what ELINT collection and MILDEC are? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Per a guy who works at the student health center at PSU, they’ve had a massive spike in flu cases the last couple weeks. Apparently it lingers a while, too. Might explain Nagao, Starocci, Kerk, etc missing matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is that why food is like half of the monthly budget for the average Russian? Russia is definitely not doing well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The GI Bill has nothing to do with your pay. FGOs, GOs and Senior NCOs making $150k+ a year are just as eligible for it as a 4-and-out E4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ironically, I had the same coach as not one but two guys who were popped for doping. And, they had both been on the same amateur team as me. Not at the same time but a couple years prior. I have to ask: do you think ALL of the athletes Sam Calavita trains are doping? Helen Maroulis, for example? Or just the Penn State/NLWC athletes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, it would, as he’d beat Hendrickson in the Round of 32 and Hendrickson could then take 3rd at best, as opposed to 2nd. But, yes, point taken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Taking EPO during a weight cut is the last thing, literally, that anyone should be doing. Increased RBC counts that literally thicken your blood, coupled with a dramatically reduced blood plasma volume. The heart pumping soup through your body. Jesus. That’s the sort of mind blowing stupid shit that kills people in their sleep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty sure that's exactly what one of Biden's EOs does. It strikes the interest, preventing the debt from growing, and caps payments at 5% of their discretionary income. Did you apply?

Huh? Who said anything about a private company? Profit? Raises? Bonuses? Shareholders? The discussion was about the government paying off or otherwise erasing the debt of a person who had performed public service. The GI Bill. Doctors and teachers pursuing loan forgiveness. https://www.military.com/education/money-for-school/student-loan-repayment.html?amp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Somewhere between 30 and 40% of doctors pursue loan forgiveness. 70% of them have debt after graduating. More than 20% have $300,000 or more in debt. Do you want to live in a country where only the wealthy can go to medical school? Or do you want smart passionate, talented people, who might not be able to rely on First Bank of Mommy and Daddy to pay their way? My neighbor is the managing doctor of the ER in a mountain community here in CO. She has personally saved hundreds of lives. She has also had her loans forgiven. Is she worthy enough?

How do you feel about the Student Loan Repayment Program? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the lenders were REALLY Christians or Muslims, they wouldn’t charge any interest, either. I can quote the Bible, too. Leviticus 25:35-37. “Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit". Interest makes up the majority of the debt for a lot of people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently you missed the post where I said that modern 184s like Amine, Hidlay and Brooks would stomp the 1982 finalists at 177, Ed Banach and Mark Schultz. I think that’s pretty complimentary. I think Amine and Hidlay are great. I think Hidlay will give Brooks his hardest match of the year, by far. But I’m not going to pretend that a win over a guy who will likely be competing at 74kg in Paris this summer is as impressive as it would be if he beat Georgia’s actual 86kg rep.
