Even for the media, it would be impossible to spin this politically. It was apparently a strictly domestic issue.
My favorite was the Kentucky 1975 win over Indiana
Dirk tried to dunk over UL in the regional final in Knoxville instead of holding for the last shot and the Cards ran away from the Cats in OT .. Loved Dirk but that was boneheadI don't think there has ever been a dunk before or after that one where the player seemed to elevate even more just before throwing in down.
I remembered him tanking a layup instead of trying to dunk it.Dirk tried to dunk over UL in the regional final in Knoxville instead of holding for the last shot and the Cards ran away from the Cats in OT .. Loved Dirk but that was bonehead
Israel did it right? The engineers will tell us, no doubtTell me you didn't read what I posted AND know nothing about WTC architecture AND are repeating irrelevant talking points without telling me....
Don't get me wrong. I'm impressed you did all that in just one short post. That's remarkable. Clearly been smelling your own flatulence the right way.
"Yes, the World Trade Center towers were engineered to withstand the impact of a large jet."
Neither of the towers were hit by "multiple impacts" and neither were hit by "747s."
- A jet is incapable of the shearing of steel girders witnessed in the crater.
- Jet fuel is incapable of the shearing.
- Jet fuel is also incapable of a sustained high temperature burn. It ignites and reaches temperatures as high as 1700° and then is done.
- There is nothing normally used in an office building/skyscraper that burns to the temperatures necessary to weaken steel girders to the point that they would be cut rather than bent (and even bending them is impossible within the engineered structure at the sustained temps of the fires that day).
In order for a single steel girder to be deformed/bent, they would ALL have to be bent because of the steel reinforced concrete flooring to which they were attached. Were they bent, the building would not have fallen straight down and also not at near freefall speed.
I don't generally talk about it on here because of people's cognitive dissonance and the pointlessness of arguing with people that don't know anything about architectural engineering or metallurgy, and that will never be revealed and truly investigated in this world in my lifetime. But if you want to argue about it, there are a lot more engineers with data and history to back them up that will crush any of your arguments.
Was there but that was certainly a while ago .. still he was going for a dunk that was blocked by the UL center, Charles something other maybeI remembered him tanking a layup instead of trying to dunk it.
Yeah, I was just imagining how it would feel.Uuummmmm, warrior, you ok? Lol
Actually, your last sentence goes with the theme of the post quoted. Butt, of course that post was in jest as are generally many of mine.reading "I was just imagining how it would feel" with no frame of reference...
It's like walking blindly into a room and finding yourself in an awkward situation.
Best to just back out slowly and close the door. LOL
I doubt her being one of the victims is a coincidence. There aren’t very many open Conservatives bouncing around Providence, especially on a campus like Brown. Makes it SEEM targeted, and if that’s the case it’s another reason the folks in Providence (and the news) seem to be sweeping this under a rug.

Thoughts to her family and friends.
nah, it'll be pretty simple ... "due to the outrage in the household born by yelling at the orange man, emotions go the best of the son..."Even for the media, it would be impossible to spin this politically. It was apparently a strictly domestic issue.
Micah Parson, Evan Williams, Zach Toms, and Christian Watson all with devastating injuries today against the Broncos. That makes 40 percent of their starters that have missed all or most of the entire 2025 season due to injuries. That is historically unprecedented in the modern era.
Riiiiight.
$100 on Mossad claiming Iran.
Israel did it right? The engineers will tell us, no doubt
Not surprisingly, I also thought that serious injuries are on the uptick, but after looking into it, that doesn't seem to be the case. The Packer situation though, is an absurd outlier. Like I said, I can't find anything else like it in the last 58 years. A truly freak occurrence.Why is it becoming more common in the league rather than less? Even with all of our advancements in training and medicine, there seem to be many more and increasing % of injuries each year. For Pete's sake they had to pull Philip Rivers out of a 5 yr retirement to play for the Colts. Think about that

AWFL's.
Most are also AWFUL's.
Affluent white female liberals.
I'll let you boys guess what the U stand for.![]()
Yeah the son did it
Zero evidence here, JMO. Athletes are getting bigger, faster and stronger. There are advantages to it, but tendons and ligaments can only take so much. Has always been the case. Just seems like dudes weighing 230+ running 4.4's and making their bodies do insane things wreaks havoc on their joints. Freaks like Lebron spend millions to have the best of everything in sports medicine to give more longevity than before but Father Time is undefeated.Why is it becoming more common in the league rather than less?

I feel the same way when they use 'the frontrunner' as they do with the clown @HymanKaplan Keep your name out of my month haha
I think specialized, targeted training probably puts more stress on certain joints as well.Zero evidence here, JMO. Athletes are getting bigger, faster and stronger.

I agree he's a moderate, not conservative.It’s why I cannot understand why leftists cannot see: Trump is the MODERATE option.
If they refuse to allow him to deport dangerous people and ideologies, what comes next is completely on their hands.
Don't ever underestimate the media. They blamed Trump and still do for the Pelosi hammer incident.Even for the media, it would be impossible to spin this politically. It was apparently a strictly domestic issue.

That’s true. Nobody deserves that.Rob was a political nut job, but NOBODY deserves to die a violent death at the hands of someone else. So sorry to hear this.

Great. But doesn't do anything for those that don't pay income taxes.![]()
Bessent expects taxpayers will see 'very large' tax refunds early next year
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said American households could receive substantial $1,000-$2,000 tax refunds in early 2026 under OBBBA tax law changes.www.foxbusiness.com
I'm the one triggered? Wow. And yes, I know precisely what the words I used ( golden calf) mean. I'm beginning to think you dont. Let me help: It means in this context that I offended something (an idea) you revere.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out why you are asking about the structural integrity of the non-stationary object instead of the structural integrity of the main subject here.
(The building) It's almost like you are attempting to use my words in a totally wrong context in order to give the optics of sounding intelligence.
It wouldn't matter if the moving object was made of balsa wood and huge. 400,000 lbs at a high rate of velocity into an immovable object causes bad things to happen whether or not you want to accept it or not. P =m*v
Have a friend whose father was a Lebanese Maronite who fled.The Maronites are the Lebanese, Christian sect that once controlled that country, but had to flee once the Muslims gained control of it.
