      I wish it wasn't 25 minutes long. I have a lot of people that could benefit from watching it, but would never sit through it...

      There are probably articles covering Rania's story; perhaps that can be a starting point?

  1. Welcome, Enhance, Huskerzoo, and jsneb, as Huskerboard mods! Thanks also to everyone else who expressed interest.

      I've no desire to censor these viewpoints. It's a worthy conversation to be having and banning people won't reduce the number who share your views. It should be debated.

       

      We reviewed your prior history here after confirming that you were previously banned. Please refrain from creating accounts here in the future.

  3. Thank you, everyone. You're amazing.

  6. Superstars are titanic difference-makers in the NBA, right? How come they get traded for pennies?

    1. HuskermanMike

      HuskermanMike

      Might as well trade them for something instead of lose them for nothing in free agency. Victor Oldadipo is a solid player and Sabonis has a bright future ahead of him. Indy is in rebuild and these are two good pieces for them down the road.

      Last warning.

       

      ESPN -- great. Thank you! I don't necessarily agree, but articulating these reasons is a valuable exercise. They help define the framework whereby we stick with/don't stick with something.

      Not really, changing your mind is a part of life and one day you might love/support one thing/stance but you might very well change the next day. Take the parents that had kids at Columbine High School...some were probably all about guns and avid hunters...until that horrible day. Then they probably changed their gun stance (some, not all). It is not so much WHY you believe it is a lot of times WHEN you believe it. Changing your mind/stance doesn't make you weak and people should not...

      -You want to talk about radicalized violence being a problem? Fine, but let's all look in the mirror, too. Want to be better? Rise above. Be able to treat deranged criminals as just that.

      -He was a known criminal*. This was a hate crime.

      - To say lack of coverage due to it being a holiday weekend is asinine.

      Evil = Evil. People should condemn it in all forms without trying to blame a segment of society for its underlying cause thus RUSHING TO POLITICIZE it, especially in a status update on a Husker sports forum….. Its my opinion that most people don’t want to come to husker board to discuss societies ills. Personally, Id much prefer to hear about a good beer you had or whether the new Movie was crap.. Or listen to this band etc.. Opinions that bring value from an anonymous poster.......

      I really like having the fingerprint sensor. I wasn't a fan of the default touchbar mode so I switched it to just show buttons. It seems to be really customizable but I haven't felt my way around yet -- mostly I like it!

       

      Another reason I went for the touchbar model is because it's distinct in other ways from the base. Faster frequency in its RAM chips on top of a much higher CPU tier. I might trade it in for the new one which seems to be just around the corner, but...

      ...we'll see :-P

       

      I'm mostly happy with it; it's a bit on the pricey end and I would anticipate the Kaby Lake models to be a meaningful step up.

      X number of years after we fight over what name to give Obamacare.

       

      The rhetoric is significant though. Keep the bill but change the name and we make public option less viable because we will understand this as a rejection of the ACA.

      So fundamentally it seems like a question of entrenching the current system vs moving forward to even more govt. Former is winning and we'll be lucky to stanch the bleeding at the status quo. Sad.

      "But it’s a bit late now for Trump and his associates to suddenly discover the virtues of the regular order in Justice Department procedure, having campaigned so aggressively against it... It strains credulity that Trump has simply had an abrupt change of heart on the matter."

  18. Anyone know a good note-taking app for the iPad/pencil? Use case is replacing taking paper notes in class, not "making a sketch image" every now and then.

      Notability is really popular and works with google classroom which will work with docs. Evernote is popular but I hate that one.

    2. zoogs

      zoogs

      Yeah, I use Evernote a lot already -- but it seems to follow the "create a single image" model, so it's not that close to paper. Thanks for the tip!
