Russian Ukraine shenanigans
That’s solely conjecture assuming that perspective knows about the check-and-balance, if any, system Russia has over their nuclear weapons. Who’s the say that Putin doesn’t have direct control over all of Russia’s nuclear weapons and could use them at his whim?

Tommy Frazier won back-to-back national championships in the 90s with Nebraska. Wasn’t drafted due to health issues and played in the CFL, where he retired due to health issues. Looks like the scouts got it right. It’s the NFL, no one cares if you win the Heisman, let alone National Championships.- College Football
I wouldn't necessarily say that Purdy would excel like he has in a different style of offense/coaching like he has in San Francisco. A lot of Broncos fans were pissed when Denver selected Bradley Chubb with the fifth pick in the 2018 Draft when Josh Allen was on the board and went to Buffalo two picks later. I don't believe Allen would be the QB he is today had he gone to Denver due to the terrible coaching carousel they've had and lack of quality WRs and TEs to throw to like he has in Buffalo.- College Football
I mean, that depends on the scouting report on him. He was likened to Colt McCoy and Case Keenum. Average arm strength, mechanical throwing, a smaller QB frame, and may have difficulties avoiding a pass rush. The 49ers offense scheme is more about brains than muscle, which is why I think he's excelled replacing Jimmy G.- College Football
He’ll have a great O-Line and receivers? What NFL do you watch? Only a few teams have great one or the others and even fewer have both (Eagles). Plenty of college players, even first rounders, are drummed out of the NFL within 1-3 years. Look at Zach Wilson with the Jets. The crazy plays that may work a few times in a college game will work maybe once or twice a season due to defenses being so good.- College Football
To be fair the Tom Brady GOAT era may have never started since the Pats signed Drew Bledsoe to that long term contract and then he was hurt and Brady got the start his rookie year.- College Football
I’d hardly call over 12,000 passing yards, 81 TDs, and an average QBR 153.0 in four years at Iowa State “mediocre.”- College Football
You know why he was able to throw dimes? That great O-Line he has allowing him a ton of time in the pocket or great blocking if he starts to run. Having good receivers immensely helps too. Look at Josh Allen’s two years before Stephon Diggs showed up to Buffalo and now. Look at Kirk Cousins stats once Justin Jefferson showed up. What the scouts look for is physical traits and potential. If Josh Allen is doing great things at Wyoming, then he has great potential in the NFL. It’s hard to say Bennett was the key to two championships when the entire team is so talented the past two years.- College Football
A broom handle could’ve played QB for UGA this year and they would’ve won. That’s how talented they are on both sides of the ball. He’s not only short, he’s also under 200lbs (which Murray and Wilson are not). He’s also not a dual sport athlete like Murray and Wilson and isn’t rolling out on play actions with a cannon for an arm. The NFL is a vastly different game which is why a lot of college players, and college coaches, who attempt to play in the league get laughed out of it. Bennett worked really hard to start at UGA, which is a feat itself, let alone win two Natty’s. However, he’s hit the peak of his football career. I don’t think he’ll be drafted, that’s even if he decided to enter the draft. He may be an undrafted rookie, but he’s looking at being a QB3 on a team or practice squadron for 1-2 seasons at best. He’s also older (25) than five QBs that are playing this week in the NFL Playoffs. Teams aren’t going to waste a pick on an older QB straight from college who doesn’t have the physical traits or athletic traits to be an NFL QB.- College Football
Since he probably won’t be drafted, I’m sure he’ll make a fine junior CFB analyst on the SEC Network.- Big Tech Oligarchs
Charging to 100% helps the BMS more accurately calculate the SoC of a LFP battery compared the NCA battery in my Model 3 Performance that I charge daily to 90% and only to 100% when I take long road trips. https://www.torquenews.com/15475/battery-charging-behavior-tesla-recommends-charging-lfp-models-100-key-voltage-0- Big Tech Oligarchs
If using LFPs for storage do you have to do a battery recalibration every so often? Tesla requires Model 3 Standard Range LFP owners to do it when owners were having their car die with 10-20% of battery remaining.- The new airline thread

I currently live in an apartment, but have a ‘22 Model 3 Performance and I’d love to do a setup like that. Thankfully, I live in CO and power is moderately inexpensive compared to other parts of the country (my apartment has Level 2 Chargepoint chargers at $.11 per kW).- Promotion and PRF Information

I recently had someone who acted like this while he was active duty contact me about a referral to my company. I told him that I wouldn't give him a referral and "good luck to his future endeavors." The shock that these types of people have when us DD-214 holders tell them to fuck off is always hilarious.- Promotion and PRF Information
That would involve getting a legitimate masters from an actual legitimate school, which most people don't have time to do or aren't willing to do.- Promotion and PRF Information
That's logical, so as standard of course the USAF will ignore that.- Promotion and PRF Information
Never, ever, take advice on life after the military from someone still wearing a uniform that's on active duty. They don't know anything about it other than the standard "Well, a friend of mine told me..." response. Yes, plenty of commanders I had would scare people into staying in because they took it personally someone wanted to leave to do other things with their life. The felt those types of people were "quitting." One of the worst Group/CCs I ever had (-130 guy) at Little Rock retired a one-star and would routinely do this to people. A few months after being hired by my company the president sent out the standard fired email for this guy who was a VP..."So-and-So is no longer with this company, we wish him well in his future endeavors." The people who act this way usually severely struggle on the outside because they can't negatively influence people's careers anymore.- The new airline thread
Hub-and-Spoke can centralize a schedule disruption at a hub (e.g., DEN for UAL) by re-routing to other hubs (ORD, IAH, etc.). The point-to-point model has a much harder time recovering from a mass disruption (e.g., aircraft going DEN - MDW - PHL - BOS is cancelled at DEN, which then dominos cancels the remainder of the points). The cancellations using point-to-point isn't normally a big deal until you have a massive weather system, fueling issues at DEN, now causing hundreds of cancellations and SWA's antiquated scheduling software that can't keep up the demand.- The new airline thread
