Willy never had a chance... Never had an OL until it was too late. If Willy had had a decent OL to start he could have been at least Dane Evans.2 points

He was the president. They're not going to put him in handcuffs. If he's indicted, he'll be allowed to surrender to police at some point in the future for arraignment.2 points -

Its been awhile since I worked in a hospital, but some 20 years ago, the statistics were that, in back surgery, a third were better, a third were no better and a third were worse. No doubt surgical techniques and procedures have gotten better since then, but how much better, who knows?1 point

Willy was one tough quarterback. He took a lot of **** from an inferior line, Maybe the worst all time in the CFL when he started here. As well as **** from the Bomber fanbase. It was a brutal gig for the guy to play here & yet he did. Evans? He'd get smacked around a bit & fall apart blaming everyone but himself. There's no comparison between the two. Seeing just how good our OL has become, I wonder how he'd have done if he played today. Evans is soft.1 point -

Faj has never had the throwing ability of Drew Willy. Drew Willy was never a glorified running back like Faj. Faj is Nealon Greene if anything.1 point -

Read an article about the potential political pitfalls of this idea just yesterday: It sounds like something out of science fiction: A country suffering from heat, flooding or crop failures decides on its own to send out a fleet of aircraft to spray a fine, sun-blocking mist into the earth’s atmosphere, reducing temperatures and providing relief to parched populations. Other countries view it as a threat to their own citizens and ready a military response. But members of the U.S. intelligence community and other national security officials were worried enough last year to plot how to avert a war triggered by this kind of climate engineering. In a role-playing exercise, they practiced managing the tensions that would be unleashed, according to people familiar with the exercise, a sign that they see it as a credible threat in need of a strategy. The practice, known as solar geoengineering, is theoretically possible. And as the world’s most vulnerable populations suffer more sharply from rising temperatures, global decision-makers will likely come under heavy pressure to deploy the technology, scientists and policymakers say. Compared to other methods to combat the effects of climate change, it’s likely to be cheaper and faster. Because the technique could weaken the sun’s power across the globe — not just above whichever country decided to deploy it — security officials are concerned about the potential to spark conflict, since a single capital could make decisions that shape the entire world’s fate. “Parts of the U.S. government are rightfully focused on trying better to understand this,” said Sherri Goodman, a senior fellow at the Wilson Center, referencing last year’s geoengineering exercise. “If you don’t understand it, you can’t manage it.” The science is evolving, said Goodman, a longtime expert on the intersection of climate change and security. But global discussions haven’t kept up, leaving a powerful technology largely unregulated internationally. “It could be weaponized by a country to either try to improve the climate and reduce the temperatures in their own location or against an adversary,” Goodman said. “It could be threatened in a way that could cause fear or panic among populations.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/02/27/geoengineering-security-war/1 point

The Environment Thread
Tracker reacted to Fatty Liver for a topic
The implications described in this article should be frightening for all, they've been ignoring science and common-sense for well over 50 years, allowing the population in a desert region to swell to unsustainable levels and encouraging a city like Las-Vegas to grow without limitations. All for the sake of making as much money as possible from irresponsible water and land management, governments have done next to nothing to prevent this predictable catastrophe from happening.1 point -

The derailment itself occurred on the 3rd and the controlled explosion on the 6th. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Ohio_train_derailment) I agree with the bread and circuses part but this was nearly a week prior to the Super Bowl. I'd argue this has more to do with a shady, corrupt rail company having too much influence while only caring about its profits. NS is notorious for having outdated safety practices as it relates to movement of hazardous materials on its rail network.1 point -

"The vast majority of the nation’s trains continue to rely on a braking system first developed in 1868. Trains equipped with these traditional air brakes make emergency stops more slowly and with higher rates of damage than trains equipped with ECP brakes, according to both safety advocates and the Federal Railroad Administration. While air brakes stop train cars individually, as air pressure moves sequentially from one car to the next, ECP brakes operate using an electronic signal and can stop an entire train much faster." successfully lobbied against requiring this. https://www.levernews.com/rail-companies-blocked-safety-rules-before-ohio-derailment/ destruction of a town? who cares. most of today's company executives would rather go have the company of business, than be a good corporate citizen, and take smaller bonuses. wait till the oil corps can't service their debts, other obligations. holy cow.0 points
