If the worst thing in your life is football being over you have it real hard...

Maybe they should have worked harder and got a scholarship.
Some people lack the physical or mental attributes to get scholarships. Some never get the exposure due to where they live or the crappy team they get to play on. While others, like my son who had 3 D1 scholarship offers, just walk away from the game and never look back.

I didn't think football was fun other than tackle practice. Coaches were dicks also, not normal coach dick headedness, way over the top. I lived in a pretty small town and most guys who gave a crap and tried got scholarships.

My son is literally the only one playing every Friday night with his heart. Most on his team are complacent and head coach is unwise. He is 6'1, 165 and excels at DE, plays reciever and quarterback. Probably only runs a 4.7 at best. What makes him so good is his HEART. He gives it everything the whole game.
He doesn't expect scholarships and it isn't the end of his life. He will excel after football. That still does not make it easy. It just is what it is. No one needs a 6'1, 165 lb 4.7 white guy no matter how sharp his skills and knowledge about the game are.
My son is well rounded, excels in other areas, already has post high school plans.......but that won't make life any easier this week. Maybe you could blame his parents or grandparents and their genetics.
To add: He may get some scholarship offers, but he isn't going to sacrifice his career and life choices for D3 or a junior college that won't help him later in life.

I realized pretty quickly football didn't matter.

Yeah there's some lessons in there, but other than that it's sanctioned grab ass.

The whole father figure coach, super hard working, focused team members is a fairy tale. At this point he is just exceling as and individual and learning he can't control anything else. A lot of his lessons are watching dumb life decisions by both young and old team members and staff.

If I was a private entity/company and I somehow got a shitload of T-34 surplus tanks, I'd outfit and modify them into robotic drone vehicles and deploy them in hazardous construction projects like demolitions and salvage operations, and most importantly, ultra-hazmat cleanup in places contaminated by radioactive or chemical leaks... Another use for them would be storm chasing. Tornado and hurricane interception and getting instrument readings, video from inside the funnel.

World War II armored vehicles still in service around the world today:

The 911 call...not the exact wording "doesn't know the guy....he's a friend"

Sure...



Just realized I forgot to go back to the other thread when I posted this, oh well.

^^^^ In the press conference the SFPD Chief specifically did NOT refer to the call they responded to as a 911 call. He called it a "Class A Welfare Check", which no one seems to know what that exactly means.

Also it seems that a third person let the responding officers into the house. Where they then found Pelosi and Depape in an non-specified location in the house holding the hammer.

Actually after the fall of the Soviet Union, several companies over the years tried that using old tanks with limited success.
Too heavy, Too big, Too much constant maintenance, Too unreliable, Too much work to modify were all reasons that it didn't become widely successful.
Trying to "disassemble" old tanks took way too much time and effort to be even remotely possible so most were just left to park.
So it's very possible a lot of what got blowed up in the Ukraine were ancient soviet stuff that's cheaper to have your enemies blow up than to try to do anything with (when conscript life is cheap).
