This turbine already set a global record by becoming the first one to ever produce 262 MWh of power in 24 hours, enough to supply 30,000 homes in the area.

Teams from the 80's and early 90's would have a very hard time competing, let alone beating teams in this era...just the way it is...I see it first hand with training recruits the difference in size..speed...stength and skill, not to mention knowledge of game from back when I played...and that wasn't even that long ago...There are guys from the past who could still play and compete if they could time travel here now, but they were the freaks' and anomalies....rosters now are littered with dozens of freaks and anomalies...not to mention they are game ready pretty much all yr long I remember camps when camps were 3 times as long where thats where guys came in to "get" in shape....and then take 2-3 games to "get" into game shape....that doesn't happen now

It's really hard to compare QB's from different era's, but Reilly, BLM, Flutie, Moon, etc would be great in any era. Some youngsters think that the latest and greatest are the best ever. Some old guys think that no one can touch the heros of their youth. If the old guys played today, they'd have today's coaching and todays offenses. If the current guys played in the past, they'd have that era's level of coaching and that era's offensive schemes.

These guys are buffoons, totally incompetent fools, time after time they have let the US and it's people down, Trump doesn't own this Vaccine nor any other From The New York Times: Trump administration officials passed when Pfizer offered in late summer to sell the U.S. government additional doses of its Covid-19 vaccine, according to people familiar with the matter. Now Pfizer may not be able provide more of its vaccine to the United States until next June because of its commitments to other countries, they said. As the administration scrambles to try to purchase more doses of the vaccine, President Trump plans on Tuesday to sign an executive order “to ensure that United States government prioritizes getting the vaccine to American citizens before sending it to other nations,” according to a draft statement and a White House official, though it was not immediately clear what force the president’s executive order would carry. … Asked if the Trump administration had missed a crucial chance over the summer to snap up more doses for Americans, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services said, “We are confident that we will have 100 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine as agreed to in our contract, and beyond that, we have five other vaccine candidates.” www.nytimes.com/… This is a perfect example of why government fails when it is run like a business, no less a corrupt one. Team Trump (likely Kushner) decided it would be smarter to dangle these billions of dollars among several Big Pharma companies, and get them to fight amongst themselves to give the U.S. the lowest bid, or the bid with the best secret kickbacks to the Trump crime family. At any rate, it’s a bit late for Trump to now try to demand the U.S. get Pfizer vaccines before other countries do. The market has already spoken, and Trump missed his shot. Unforgivable.

As opposed to Trump and his cronies filing court challenge after court challenge and losing, it's about the courts start to make people pay from opening their mouths and spewing garbage without thinking

it's my understanding that those players would revert back, or had some kind of handshake/gentleman's agreement to previous team...similar to that window to test the NFL previous to this....I'm not worried about any of our guys we let loose bolting, as they all wan to be back. Also if we have camp in the summer, don't be shocked to see Sayles and Kongbo here as well...

Lucy put it best:

This is a really interesting article The future of the Republican party is an endless series of loyalty tests and Trump family vendettas. Good luck. https://thebulwark.com/what-if-trump-is-trying-to-break-the-gop/ maybe the gop will behind the scenes encourage prosecution of trump.

This was not unexpected..

I don't think the vaccine is a "magic bullet' per se. I'd actually still like to see masks and distancing remain a part of our lives for awhile yet....in addition to the vaccine.......

When we have three consecutive days of declines, we can breathe a little easier. Christmas is going to be a real test, though. Reported today that this doctor has been active in anti-vaxer campaigns for years. Being a medical doctor does not ensure anything- remember that two doctors gave cyanide Kool-aid to their childrenas well as others.

Texas sues four states over election results in effort to help Donald Trump Here we go right to the Supreme Court. This is the one we were expecting.

They're not really going down, just fewer tests were processed. The test positivity remains embarrassingly high at 13.3% for the Province and 13.6% in Winnipeg. Deaths will continue to be high as long as there remains outbreaks at the PCHs and hospitals.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-covid19-public-health-order-update-1.5832699 A fitting way to cap off this shitty year. *sadface*

Yes. Yes Indeed....

When all you have is lies, you attack those that have facts. It's the GOP.

The logic goes something like this: "Haven't you heard? Joe Biden is going to kill all the babies. Hilary Clinton would have killed even more." AND "I can't believe how many people are falling for this evil Covid vaccine. Trump has done everything he can to stop it."

Some of their leaders talk like Trump, is the epitome of christian values. Or is it simply a matter of holding that Bible upside down?

What on earth do some of these churches teach that people think Jesus would be a fan of Trump and Republicans in general? Like have they ever actually read a Bible?

Indonesia is a SE Asian country that straddles the equator but added over 5K cases yesterday. Malaysia, another SE country, added another 1K cases. The Philippines, another SE Asian country, added over 1K cases. All three of those countries are warmer (and in closer proximity to the equator) than Taiwan. India, a South Asian country, is second in the world with over 9.7M cases, adding over 6K more yesterday. Brazil is near the equator and is 4th in the world with over 6.6M cases. Colombia literally straddles the equator and is 10th overall in cases with over 1.3M. Spain, Portugal, Greece, which are all part of the Mediterranean, have combined for well over 2M total cases. Italy is also a Mediterranean country and has had over 1.7M cases. Mexico just added another 6K cases yesterday. Despite its climate, it's one of the hardest hit countries. The three worst states in the US (CA, TX, FL) are all considered warmer climes but have accounted for over 3.5M of the US's total case count. Summer was pretty bad for the US, IIRC. It's almost like temperature, humidity, and places with "endless summer" have little do with the pandemic or its transmission when you look at the entire picture.

Ok, now we know that she’s “out there” too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a pathetic group of lawyers.

Maybe, he HAD ‘to go’ or already did.

...............as many Doctors have said that the Vaccine, masks, hand washing, sanitizing, and social distancing should be observed all of next year.

the PA isn't going to like hearing that, but if administration costs go down in equal measure, it should at least be more palatable...

There has been a credible review of Hydroxychloroquin in Europe and there was zero benefit found, but evidence of mental disturbances. The doctor in question ought to have been aware of that. Do you think that it was used when Trump went into crisis? It did not prevent him contracting COVID. Q.E.D.

You may be the only one. Jane Orient, the anti-vaccine, climate change denier, right-wing quack MD - Skeptical Raptor Well, one of the most obnoxious anti-vaccine, right-wing, science denying MDs, Jane Orient, is back in the limelight. Orient is the Executive Director of the "Association of American Physicians and Surgeons," the fake medical organization to which both Ron and Rand Paul belong. It's listed as a "quack organization" by Quackwatch, and while its main focus is ranting about the horrors of socialized medicine and Obamacare (same thing), the AAPS also opposes the HPV vaccine, which could cause sluttiness, and promotes the medically invalid lie that abortion causes breast cancer. Oh, and she doesn’t believe in climate change..

Before, DeSantis was a fool and irresponsible. Now, he’s dangerous...

clearly soros got to her. American election is like the last two minites of an nfl game. goes on forever.

Me when I first can get the vaccine

The debate about his feelings started with me saying, Kingsbury saying nice things about Streveler isn't proof that Streveler is some amazing talent. It was just a coach being a coach. Obviously he thinks he's good, he's his #2. But also....of course he is gonna say good things about him to the media, he's a head coach.

Peterman is stuck behind some really good Canadian receivers. He could be a damned good one, but so can Demski and Wolitarsky.

After Hamilton’s TD they try to kick it short on kick off Thomas Miles recognized it quick and catches it. Looked like no one else in that range sees it. If Hamilton recovers kick and scores may have turned the game.

I like how if i put the mouse over the image it asks me if i want to enlarge it.

👁‍🗨 Finally somebody stands up to be counted A Sarasota lawyer resigned his appointment to the panel that picks judges on Tuesday to call attention to the way Gov. Ron DeSantis has handled “public access to truthful data” and the raiding of a data analyst’s home. “The recent events regarding public access to truthful data on the pandemic, and the specific treatment of Rebekah Jones has made the issue a legal one rather than just medical,’' he wrote in a letter to the governor’s general counsel. “...I no longer wish to serve the current government of Florida in any capacity.”

BREAKING NEWS - CNN has just announced the US Supreme Court denies Republican’s request to block certification of election results in Pennsylvania, a blow to Trump’s hopes to overturn Biden’s win.

Yeah, we are going to see more high death days for the next week or two. The good news is that the number of new cases is going down.

Another 10+(13) RIP.

They lost me at decent

If MBT took a time machine, and a modern OC, back to 84 he would be very successful. However, if MBT were to have broken into the league under the same training and game knowledge that existed at the time he would not have been any more successful than he is now. Same goes for any athlete. Would Crosby score 200 pts in the 80's....possibly...but he's a generational talent. MBT is not. One cannot overstate how much physical and mental conditioning, as well as coaching, has improved over the past 20-30 years. I can't imagine how good James West, or Greg Battle might look with the advancements of today. My guess is they would be all stars in todays game too. Yes, in the NHL, the style of game heavily contributed to Gretzky's gaudy numbers. However, if Gretzky were a rookie today he likely is on his way to being the GOAT....just without the zillion points he put up.

And these arguments are precisely why players/teams cannot be compared from one era to another. Especially teams.
