"I guess it depends on the program and school, but their definitely not a joke like you’re implying." There's a grammar joke in there. I agree with you. The name brand online business school is the future for all the middle career people wanting to jump up. However, does it really help in that effort? Time will tell. I bet it helps in some capacity, but in my experience over the years, boots on the ground OR who you know -- those are the two things that matter in doing serious ladder climbing. I had a director level guy come in that my former company hired - he was a Pepperdine grad. I tried to bond with him about Pepperdine and he said he didn't know anything about it because he was 100% remote grad program. He was a douche, but that is beside the fact. If anyone tried to bond about school experiences with that guy, it would go no where -- which is often what those business school degrees do. I think online stuff can be great for Udacity stuff - to get real world example projects published for developers - but isn't good to list on your resume. But really, what do I know? The future is a crazy place.

profit == disappointment. yes. i see where you are coming from.

Government funds an incredible amount of private companies. You, and your ilk, tend to focus on one company when drawing attention to public funding. It is quite impressive confirmation bias. Let's just look at the privatization of the space. Who is funding those companies? "SpaceX received millions from the Air Force for development of the Raptor engine through an OTA (Other Transaction Agreement). However, so did Orbital ATK, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and United Launch Alliance. On Jan 13, 2016, SpaceX was granted $33.6 million, Orbital ATK $46.9 million. On February 29, 2016, under the same OTA, Aerojet Rocketdyne was awarded $115.3 million, and ULA $46.6 million. Oct 19, 2017, SpaceX’s award under that OTA was increased by another $16.9 million." How about Tesla -- that are pretty good success story, no? https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-20150531-story.html ..but sure... keep harping on a failed company without recognizing how funding new technologies benefits us all. And the only reason we have to back door public money into private industry is because of your kind absolutely hating everything government and wanting to reject anything it may do.

So how can a study from nearly 50 years be wrong?! Science is always right! I guess in your world science is a religion... that has all the answers. When reality science is living and constantly collecting and analyzing data. New technologies, new research, new avenues all open and and allow for more peer review on studies. But to that end, here is what the author of the original 1975 article has to say: https://www.insidescience.org/news/my-1975-cooling-world-story-doesnt-make-todays-climate-scientists-wrong

It's really disappointing. I do think it is a learning experience ... not a throw the baby out with the bath water situation.

Reminds me of this: How to Become TripAdvisor's #1 Fake Restaurant - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqPARIKHbN8 Texas Monthly and D Magazine just came out with their lists and Tender was not even on the scene.

@greenminer - Truth be told, my damn phone auto-filled glorying while I was swiping 'glorifying'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This isn't a gerund. However, a present participle is a verb form ending in 'ing' and is being used as a verb. So it does seem to be the accidental present participle.

glo·ry /ˈɡlôrē/ verb gerund or present participle: glorying Well.. even according to their own site, it says "While it was a decision based in rivalry and fun, the choice of a Confederate-themed mascot was nonetheless an unfortunate one." So.. looks like they even regret it. As their official history of their mascot, they have all but erased all the Confederacy imagery. https://www.unlv.edu/campuslife/mascot-nickname As far as I've ever learned, Nevada was never a part of the Confederacy. They don't abide by heritage not hate and bogus State's rights claims.. so they are more of a character than a political statement and fandom of southern living. Glorying.

TIL: Not glorying the loser of a racist war is PC.

How much confidence do you have in RB Jeff Wilson Jr. carrying the ball in that final drive considering his history of fumbling the last two games, also today in the first half? “It was tough, especially how it’s gone since he’s been in and what happened today, but [RB Matt] Breida went out on that last drive, so you don’t have much of a choice with it and now that he went in and the way he finished running and the fact that he did hold on to the ball, it was great to him. When he started off that fumble early, then dropped a screen pass, we were going to keep Breida in as much as possible. Then Jeff went in at the end because Breida got hurt and it was awesome the way it ended because now that should give him some confidence and make him ready to get out next week.” From their HC press conference: https://www.ninersnation.com/2018/12/17/18144275/kyle-shanahan-press-conference-transcript-jeff-wilson-nick-mullens-matt-breida-49ers-seahawks

Your memory of people on this board is always impressive. Mad props. I had to search google if the Federalists believed in punctuation. I couldn't find a clear answer. Perhaps e. e. cummings was a member of the Federalist Society.

So what's the excuse for ODU and LT?

And everyone sees how that is going...

Ah. My bad. I was breaking it down by category in head.. not player.

• Tied 18th in Kicks/Punts Blocked (1) Seems like Bussey should be in there tied at 18 too. He blocked a punt versus ODU.

I guess game 'attendance' isn't the right phrase.

Maybe they aren't lying about their butts in seats?

They wanted to hit sweet spot of when East coast goes to bed, West coast is in rush hour and when Central Timezone thinks about having to work the next day.

Cool.. that makes a Thursday game all better. I will revise what I said, without changing the intent. "My friends, it seems, assumed that college games are on Saturday (their bad. They must be very stupid people, right?). They were pretty peeved to find out at the Rice game that it would be their last game of the season - since they cannot make a Thursday night game. They travel in from out of town. "

This is a fun season. Games are games because they can be lost. Otherwise it is just routine. Last year all the close games went to us. This year the close games don't. It is how the cookie crumbles. It is why we love this game. Anyhow... Next year, the season will not be a cupcake like this CUSA season. Our SoS is just absurd. It was a best shot. We hopefully pull out 10-2 and then win a bowl game. It will in retrospect be an awesome season. People won't care about who we lost to, they will still talk about how good of a team we are. I still get it at the office... which surprises me. I like your optimistic post. Thanks.

Of my four club seats, it will be just me there. I can't get anyone else to come join me for free... I'm trying, there is one guy interested. The friends next to me that have four seats didn't know until last Saturday that the game was moved to Thursday. So they were pretty upset to learn that Rice was their last home game of the season (since they live out of town and travel in to see the games). But hey! TV with two teams out of CUSA contention!

This is the cusa every year.
