You don't.

If you take some of the group out of the whole, there are then less of that group. Thanks for the update.

Yes, Trump notably even went as far as to use the Defense Production Act to ensure that we used our resources to produce vaccines as quickly as possible. You also have to laud the guidance provided to states to assist in the rollout and logistics involved. And how could we forget the massive PSA campaign he underwent to convince everyone that the vaccine is necessary to achieve herd immunity? One thing we can be sure of though, is that Operation Warp Speed produced the modern miracle of a vaccine. It is simply a coincidence that multiple companies driven by capitalism, in multiple countries, simultaneously broke through with their own versions of this miracle. Truly, I can't fathom how much worse off we would be without Trump. Biden is clearly just riding that train of leadership. We all know how closely the two administrations worked together in transition and the results show it.

The thing that pisses me off about the reaction to mass shootings is it's the same each time and it's stupid each time, and most of that stupidity is coming from the GOP. 1. It's a mental health issue. But let's not spend more $ on mental health issues, and lets call people snowflakes, betas, and cucks when they act like pu**ies. People need to grow a pair and toughen up. 2. How dare the Democrats politicize this. Now is not the time to talk about it. But let's not talk about it a month from now either because people have forgotten about it and we're off the hook. I see no end in sight for this bulls#!t.

You just described why we'd be a lot safer with fewer of these in circulation.

No need to be a smart a$$. Nebraska was towards the top of the country in designed QB runs this year. Because the offense sucked donkey dong.

Driving under the influence is illegal whether or not you kill or maim someone. So no that is not my logic even if you do want your “muh freedom” to drive s#!t faced.

This is the dumbest f#&%ing thing. I cant stand Buttigieg, hes such a fake little s#!t. And the reason we cant cut the defense budget is because both parties dont know how to read a damn poll and they are bought and paid for by lobbyists.

I wish we could get somewhere on this, but if a guy lights up a kindergarten and kills a bunch of little kids - and we literally do nothing to prevent it from happening again - we're never gonna get anywhere. It's been proven that a segment of this country doesn't give a f#&% unless it directly effects their lives. As long as their kid wasn't shot - they don't want to change s#!t.

Nothing like limiting the mobility of the workforce... Depending on the tax rate, this would suck in rural areas like Nebraska. With the small commuter towns across the state and the need for people in Omaha metro area to travel all around town (public transportation sucks in Omaha) for work will get punished for it. Maybe if you can claim "work miles" as a deduction. Filling out mileage logs every week sounds like a great time

I never really understand the, “we don’t know what we have, so we must not have anything” comments I see so often. We won 4 games last year. It’s not like Wandale was so good we won 9. I’m confident someone will eventually step up at both WR and RB.

I would think a handgun would be far more useful in a home invasion scenario. That rifle in a hallway is constricting in a way a handgun isn't.

You hit on several great points. I'm not opposed to additional regulations around improved background checks, looking at ways in which to properly carry out red flag laws etc. I'm simply unwilling to hand in my firearms until our elected officials security hands them in. I'm also against several of these ideas around requiring insurance and annual license fees etc as that simply allows the rich to be armed and the poor to be disarmed. I'd love to actually address a multitude of issues that exist prior to taking away law abiding citizens guns. We haven't even come close to exhausting those options.

I wouldn't use powerful as the way in which to describe the AR15. The .223/5.56 round that it uses is nothing special. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver with, low recoil, easy and quick to reload. It is precisely why I have one in my home because my wife can easily use it if it is needed. At night it would be what I would grab first.

Was anything I said inaccurate? The CDC and FDA under the Trump administration worked to fast track these vaccines. Biden is reaping the benefits of that just as much if not more than Trump did. We were on our way to the 100 million doses in the first 100 days before inaguration day. It's just the truth.

-"Today, America's war on drug users is over in the city of Baltimore. We leave behind the era of tough-on-crime prosecution and zero tolerance policing and no longer default to the status quo to criminalize mostly people of color for addiction, said Mosby in an official press release." -"The program has led to decreases in the overall incarcerated Baltimore population by 18%, while violent and property crimes are down 20% and 36% respectively, according to the press release." https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/27/us/baltimore-prosecute-prostitution-drug-possession/index.html

Huskers win, 17-5!

People need to employ Occam's razor more often. Georgia goes Democrat for the first time in ages. Their state level Republican leaders make a bunch of changes to voting laws, including giving more power to themselves to pick members of the election board. What the f#&% do you think the purpose is? If you think it's because of voter fraud, I question your # of brain folds. Republicans need to stop being scared of the perpetual supposed impending socialist takeover of this country and look at what's happening right in front of their eyes.

do you understand why driving under the influence was made illegal?

Yep and People who are not Biden supporters in general should be willing and able to give Biden administration credit for building on that initial success and getting us to where we are. Herd immunity through vaccine was projected back in December by Azar to be reached sometime between Easter and beginning of summer. Looks like we might be able to hit that mark.

thats what most guns are designed to do

Being pro life and accepting that death happens in a wide variety of ways have nothing to do with each other. Continue farting in the wind if you choose. Consider downwind. Yes some are

I think that's a good assessment of where we are at. And what needs to happen on the O side to be better than the past 3 years. To the bolded, a lot have mentioned playing with the guys we have, not what we want. I'm really hoping we run a lot of 12/13 personnel to not just have more blocking and "weight up front", but to also try and create some mismatches, drop one back as an HB, use more in short yardage/goal line etc...This could be the best group of TE's we have had in years. Hoping we use them. Lean on them until the rest of the O catches up. Bring out something special for OU.

It is a multi use multi purpose rifle. Hunting, self defense etc. It checks all the boxes. Again we are talking about on average 15 mass shooting deaths annually with this weapon. If we want to discuss other ways the AR15 kills via suicide etc then we need to address that the vast majority of gun fatalities are handguns.

I agree it is dumb and anti-democratic.

We rushed for approx 1660 yards in 2020. Take away the QB runs and we are at 775. Take away Wan'dale and we were down to 535 yards by RB's....That's not a "run heavy" O. That's the kind of O capable of winning 4-5 games a year. Sadly, with no RB returning with more than 24 touches (Scott 24 for 62 yards for 2.6 a carry) I do not expect much better. And it's an O that has gotten worse each year. We lost JD, but had Wan'dale. We just lost Wan'dale. What do we have now? AM-521 Mills-396 Luke- 364 Wan'dale-240 I'm hoping we get old quick on O. D gonna have to do their thing.

What?

How much of that is from designed QB runs? Take that out and I bet they are below 48%

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/26/dr-vin-gupta-slams-covid-reopening-policies-of-arizona-florida-and-texas.html I can't believe the lack of foresight here. Just hold off a few more months and this thing might be under control. But it could easily go the other way.

Salty...

Many of the more recent posts in this thread are discussing issues unexclusively related to the AR-15. You don't have to fixate on the AR-15 unless you choose to. Except we can't, because gun activists and lobbyists don't want agreement. They want guns. They want accessibility to guns. They want to arm more people, even if those people don't want a gun. They don't want their perceived constitutional "freedoms" put at risk. They meanwhile throw out vague ideas of fixing problems that lead to gun violence (except the guns themselves) without really providing any tenable solutions. So, many of them are not truly interested in addressing gun violence and mass shootings. What they're interested in is preserving gun culture.

Overall NCAA thoughts... Hard to not chalk up NCAAs as anything less than a tremendous disappointment, especially given how well NU wrestled at Big Tens. Will be interesting to see who comes back and how things shake out with guys like Bubba Wilson and the incoming freshman. Iowa may have won the NCAA title but PSU was the story. Damn Cael gets those guys to peak at the right time. Extremely impressive performance. 125--I still think Cronin got jobbed in his consis match but would've been hard pressed for me to think he goes further than one extra round. 141--Mr. March, especially once he gets into the consi bracket. Would love to see Red come back for one more go and aim for a 'true' 4x AA shot but if he decides to hang it up, he's had one helluva career. 149--Woof. Just a bummer of a performance. I have no doubt Lovett will bounce back and use this tourney as fuel. 157--Really nice job even getting to NCAAs. While I'm sure Licking is disappointed to not get a win, nothing to hang his head about. 165--I'll need to go back and watch the consi match against Amine again. It just looks like he either panicked or lost mat awareness in those last 30 seconds. I know Amine is a tough kid but Robb was right there. 174--Really, really nice tournament beating some high level guys on the way to 3rd. Starocci is incredibly tough and is only going to get better but Labriola is going to be right there for the next year or two. Optimistic he gets over the hump and makes a final. 184--Probably a bit of a disappointment for Venz. But still, not too much to quibble about. Brooks is just at another level and Geer put it on him. Got maybe a little unlucky with seeding but Venz looked great when he came back so it was all for the best I suppose. Wouldn't be shocked to see him move on. 197--Woof. Hard to not chalk Schultz's performance as the worst on the team given his seeding. I think him losing in the 1st round really deflated the rest of the team. Did a nice job winning a couple on the backside of the bracket but looked like he wanted to be anywhere else on the planet against Elam. HWT--You know, what are you going to do? So many of those HWT matches come down to who gets a TD or a riding point since all those dudes just don't shoot much. Lance is probably bummed to drop his 1st round match against a guy he just beat at Big Tens. Just the way it goes sometimes.

I made a quick buck early this year on flipping a few dogecoins. Hopefully when Elon colonizes Mars he uses Doge coin as the global Mars currency.

To complain about the new law, I agree.

This deserves all the +1s Also, I thought this was going to be a Broderick Thomas tribute. The lack of his highlights was the only demerit. Also also, I had forgotten about the white pinstripes. People would absolutely loose their minds if we tried that today.

How does the law just passed in Georgia make it easier to vote?

It says "No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector" That doesn't mean giving out water to solicit votes. It means give out water to any voter waiting, period. The law that is being repealed said: "No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person solicit signatures for any petition, nor shall any person, other than election officials discharging their duties, establish or set up any tables or booths on any day in which ballots are being cast:" So obviously the new language is put in to make it illegal to give someone waiting to vote water. No solicitation required.

how much more time does Frost need?? Moos needs to get ready for a change.

You quoted what Raffensperger said. From the same article, here's what he's done. Since the U.S. Supreme Court's Shelby v. Holder decision in 2013 eliminated key federal oversight of election decisions in states with histories of discrimination, Georgia's voter rolls have grown by nearly 2 million people, yet polling locations have been cut statewide by nearly 10%, according to an analysis of state and local records by Georgia Public Broadcasting and ProPublica. Much of the growth has been fueled by younger, nonwhite voters, especially in nine metro Atlanta counties, where four out of five new voters were nonwhite, according to the Georgia secretary of state's office. The metro Atlanta area has been hit particularly hard. The nine counties — Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth, DeKalb, Cobb, Hall, Cherokee, Henry and Clayton — have nearly half of the state's active voters but only 38% of the polling places, according to the analysis. As a result, the average number of voters packed into each polling location in those counties grew by nearly 40%, from about 2,600 in 2012 to more than 3,600 per polling place as of Oct. 9, the analysis shows. In addition, a last-minute push that opened more than 90 polling places just weeks before the November election has left many voters uncertain about where to vote or how long they might wait to cast a ballot. Georgia law sets a cap of 2,000 voters for a polling place that has experienced significant voter delays, but that limit is rarely, if ever, enforced. Our analysis found that, in both majority Black and majority white neighborhoods, about nine of every 10 precincts are assigned to polling places with more than 2,000 people. A June 2020 analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School found that the average number of voters assigned to a polling place has grown in the past five years in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina — all states with substantial Black populations that before the Shelby decision needed federal approval to close polling places under the Voting Rights Act. And though dozens of states have regulations on the size of voting precincts and polling places or the number of voting machines, the analysis found that many jurisdictions do not abide by them. Georgia's state leadership and elections officials have largely ignored complaints about poll consolidations even as they tout record growth in voter registration. As secretary of state from 2010 to 2018, when most of Georgia's poll closures occurred, Brian Kemp, now the governor, took a laissez-faire attitude toward county-run election practices, save for a 2015 document that spelled out methods officials could use to shutter polling places to show "how the change can benefit voters and the public interest." Kemp's office declined to comment Thursday on the letter or why poll closures went unchallenged by state officials. His spokesperson referred to his previous statements that he did not encourage officials to close polling places but merely offered guidance on how to follow the law. The inaction has left Black voters in Georgia facing barriers reminiscent of Jim Crow laws, said Adrienne Jones, a political science professor at Morehouse College in Atlanta who has studied the impact of the landmark Shelby decision on Black voters. Voter suppression "is happening with these voter impediments that are being imposed," Jones said. "You're closing down polling places so people have a more difficult time getting there. You're making vote-by-mail difficult or confusing. Now we're in court arguing about which ballots are going to be accepted, and it means that people have less trust in our state." State legislatures should be making it EASIER to vote, not HARDER. That this bill is being forcefully denounced should be a clue it's doing the latter. There is no reason to make these changes. They're loosely based on trump's bogus "voter fraud" nonsense - none of which has ever been validated. The ONLY reason they're changing these laws across the country is to ensure Republicans hold on to power. Period. I've answered these questions.

First, I will not call someone names for not getting a COVID vaccine. I understand the vaccines are fairly new but they rely on research that has been ongoing for years. Saying all that, I find it funny that a group of individuals talk out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to this pandemic. First we can't trust the COVID numbers because "people getting hit by buses (you can insert any way of dying not related to COVID) that tested positive from COVID are being counting as COVID deaths." and now we referencing a site that lists people dying because they happen to get a vaccine and die without any real correlation. Now watch me die from the shot I got yesterday.

I think this is a fundamental flaw in our process. Republicans are saying this because they don't want the federal government telling Republican states they can't do things like gerrymandering. Interestingly though, they just thought it was horrible when states changed their voting laws this past election. THEN, it's fine for the federal government to tell states they can't do that.

OK Now, let's work to eliminate dark money and support politicians who want to do that.

What's the maximum # of brain cells a person can have and say something this stupid? I am so tired of these people and the racists who vote for them.
