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.

Since he probably won’t be drafted, I’m sure he’ll make a fine junior CFB analyst on the SEC Network.

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

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 SWAPA letter to the SWA Execs was pretty scathing.

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).

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

They also just asked the SCOTUS to ignore the appeal from the Republican States to leave Title 42 in place until they can come with an agreement with border security. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/title-42-immigration-biden-adminisration-asks-supreme-court-to-deny-republican-bid-to-prolong/ Denver's mayor declared a state of emergency due to 2,000 migrants showing up from El Paso (weren't bussed by Texas, they just got their own transportation after crossing the border). The mayor said the city has already spent $2 million on the migrants. https://www.fortmorgantimes.com/2022/12/21/mayor-hancock-denver-migrant-crisis-weather-emergency/- New BAH rates are out.
