  1. According to the FCC, 96.3% of people in Nebraska have access to high speed internet (defined as 25mbps down/3mbps up). and 100% of americans have access if you include satellite, 92.7% if you only qualify hard wired services.
  2. No no no no. We're winning the natty but the Rutgers game is going to get canceled due to a freak hurricane.
  3. No, they don't. How is every single thing you say wrong?
  4. I though they were only in Nebraska!
  5. Pro tip: get a dashcam/rearview cam and hardwire the system into a fuse that always has power even when your car is parked and off. They'll automatically lock and save if it senses a hit and will 100% save your a$$. Source: saved mine a week after I bought it
  6. How much did you pay for Ben Shapiro's Masterclass on how to craft an argument to sound convincing even though it's based entirely on completely imaginary hypotheticals you just made up on the spot?
  7. I've watched this about 20 times this week. So mesmerizing and surreal.
  8. Sea levels only rise about .13 inches per year currently. The bigger point is that that rate is massively accelerating. But to your sarcastic point about how coastal cities aren't being swallowed whole, I mean sure we haven't had any cities wiped off the map (well, we actually kind of have, but you'll attribute those to freak events not correlated with climate change influencing sea levels), but homes and parts of towns on coastlines have absolutely been destroyed by rising sea levels. Less than 20 years ago there were two more streets of houses further out than these sandbagged ones right on top of the tide in Ocean Isle Beach, NC
  9. Why would the DA accept a plea if he's not cooperating? If he's making the plea then obviously they have enough evidence to have good odds at trial.
  10. Today I learned for the first time that we used to wear Nike!
  11. I love 'em. Adidas has figured out the right formula for NU alternates - honor the past, lean into subtlety, don't get crazy, keep it clean.
  12. To be clear, there are a lot more folks than just loud GOP members that are against this. If the influx of people and resources actually leads to holding the financially elite accountable, then cool, I support it. ....but we obviously know, or at least have decades worth of evidence and historical precendent to tell us, that that aint gonna happen. So yeah, I don't hold it against anyone for being pissed about this if they believe that this is empowering an agency to only and exclusively punish the middle class.
  13. It was $35 when it first launched. Then it jumped to $40 when it added all the Turner Networks (TNT, TBS, CNN, CN, etc.), then to $50 when it added all the Discovery network channels. Went up to $65 in 2020 after adding Viacom's lineup of BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1 So a good deal more expensive but with more content and lightyears better accessibility than any cable offering that's ever existed. Still, there are plenty of cheaper options.
  14. Alternate uniforms are for the players, and then for merch sales. Fans being able to see or notice the differences in the stands or on tv is very far down the list of motivations, especially when plenty of those same fans will see that jersey in the team store with a display that says "HONORING THE PAST" or something and buy one as a collector's item Money's high that this is an alternate/throwback reveal. It's the 40th year anniversary, and Adidas/NU have finally figured out a winning formula for Nebraska alternates which is 'make them simple and make them nostalgic'.
  15. The dems have Beto and Buttigieg, although the latter just has that quality about him where you think he's a snively narc even if you really want to trust and like him lol
  16. Not even close The average DirecTV bill is $124/month YoutubeTV - $65 HBO Max - $10 Netflix - $10 Disney+ Bundle (Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+) - $8 AppleTV+ - $5 That's a package that even has redundancies and youtubetv is a pricier option than something like sling. Plus you get access to way, way, WAY more entertainment.
  17. That explains last year. Doesn't explain the multiple years before it.
  18. @ColoradoHusk nailed it. In that scenario, Peacock would be for people on tablets, phones, laptops, etc. that are some combination of not owning an antenna, not owning a tv, not having cable or a cable alternative, etc. Can you like....calm down a bit? We are not literally back to pay-per-view. The deals aren't even finished or announced yet, so we don't know where we are. Even if half our games are on Peacock and Paramount+, that's at most $30 total for the three months of football and you can cancel or start anytime. Pay-per-view games were at minimum $30 for one game, and that was 20 years ago. You know ESPN, BTN and FS1 aren't free, right? All of our games on Peacock and Paramount+ would be significantly cheaper than all of our games on ESPN and FS1.
  19. I know there are possible ways this could play out that won't be perfect for everyone, and I don't want to have to sign up for more stuff either. But, overall, this is about as good of news as you could possibly hope for as a fan of a B1G team. Three nationwide, network, over the air games per week is huge. These are free to all with an antenna, and that's nearly half of the conference games of that week. Then you have B1G and FS1/2 which most of us as sports fans are likely to have already. There's a chance that the occasional game ends up paywalled behind a streaming only platform, but I think it's a very low chance overall, and a higher likelihood that those will be offered as supplemental options instead of exclusive ones.
