Never saw this thread. I spent 9 months trying to get a job at the local Naval Hospital. Ridiculous process. Got and accepted the job offer. Was just waiting on a start date when after several months I got a phone call out of the blue that said the offer was withdrawn because I didn't pass a screening. Very little explanation, no further questions...for the same RN job I've been doing for multiple years. Would love the benefits, but the process is beyond painful

Even as a child I recognized "pro" wrestling for the scam it was....a live action B movie that was more often in line with a high school kids backyard film. Terrible terrible stuff. Would rather watch actual B movies

WTF are you talking about?

Well....oddly enough...SOMETHING dramatically lessened the seasonal flu this year. My bet? The masking and social distancing. We did it for COVID to (apparently debatable) positive effect...and it drastically reduced our flu numbers this winter. Good thing too.....we were on the verge of being over-run for a couple months there (at my hospital...I'm an ICU RN) and normal flu numbers on top of the COVID cases would have crushed us

I'm coming around on Pitts. a TE who is a mismatch in the passing game AND can block well? Rookie TE's usually can't do that. Would still rather they took a QB at 6 if there's a guy they like, but wouldnt be upset to take the TE instead

heck no we're too many pieces away to pay that for an older QB

All the talk about not reaching for a QB, but the fact remains that it's twice as important as any other position on the field, and darn near impossible to win without a good one. If there's one there that they like, they have to pull the trigger, regardless of what else is available.

Silly question....what were the previous "normal" energy rates in Texas on these plans and how did they compare to the rest of the (more highly regulated but also inter-connected and more reliable) country? Did Texans enjoy significantly cheaper power then the rest of us?

Sooooo...did the paperwork/email/whatever explaining these service options inform him of this (not-so) remote possibility of a 1000% un-announced rate hike? Sorry.....this shouldn't be remotely possible. This is absolutely an example of conservatism gone wrong. Texas made it's choices, and this is part of the result.

If there's a QB at 9 they like, they need to take him. It's too easy to be mediocre with a lousy QB and end up hamstrung and unable to get back to a top 10-12 pick without giving up a ton of assets. If there isn't a guy they like, then sure, trade back and acquire more darts, or take the best OL available....but I'd have zero issue with a QB at 9. (I would have an issue with trading several picks to move up and take anyone short of Lawrence...which we know isnt happening)

And some folks knew it then....and were ok with it. TBH...I'll take several years of basement dwelling if that's the price for 52.

If Wentz is traded with high picks in return I'm just fine with QB at 6 if they see someone they like. Wasn't pleased with the Hurts pick but doubling down on a bad pick by THEN counting on that pick to be "the man" would be even dumber. So.....really not getting why so many here are against QB at 6. If Wentz ISN'T traded, we have a different scenario where the better answer would be the trade back for extra picks, surround Wentz with some more talent and hope the new staff can coach him back to where he started.

I lean left in many many ways....but many reversals of discrimination and bias exist today. There are a lot of folks that only give lip service to the idea of color blindness

I dunno. We've done a lot of arguing about first amendment rights, political speech etc. But when the problems stem from a repeated, proven lie from the President himself? Not once or twice, but hundreds of times over the course of months? The lies are enough to impeach, regardless of whether or not you agree he incited the riot. UNless of course you thought impeaching Clinton for lying about a blow job was also a great idea.
