Anyone else remember when Special K created their own diet and it was basically just eating two bowls of Special K every day and everyone accepted that as medically sound?
@tayyabkjanjua06@DiscussingFilm He had imax build him specialized cameras to his specs for this. He made the crew shoot on a real boat in a real sea for weeks. Nolan has become a brand associated with quality & his brand puts asses in movie seats. He’s like what Cameron was in the 90s. His films are events.
@Michael32934704@StevenHeathen@the_real_reason you’ve just proven my point. If you think Maye is not good but just average, Fins are drafting a QB in the first round next szn. That’s entirely my argument l.
@RealMarkMonte@the_real_reason I agree with you but I’m always overly optimistic. We have a lot of young guys who are gonna get tested by everyone & a first time NFL HC.
@Michael32934704@StevenHeathen@the_real_reason No way- there’s a reason he only has a 2 yr deal. If he’s average you’re crazy to think they’re gonna pass up drafting a QB inn what’s expected to be a good QB draft with a top 3 pick. They don’t have time for that. He needs to play like Maye did his rookie szn w few weapons
@Michael32934704@StevenHeathen@the_real_reason If Malik looks very good, then I think you’re right. But if Malik is just average to good, if they have a QB they think is truly elite & a real chance to get him, they have to do it. I hope he’s very good bc it would take the pressure off that choice.
The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.
As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.
Texan here
A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!
Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.
Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.
This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.
How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.
@Michael32934704@StevenHeathen@the_real_reason They are going to build around him based what they believed when they signed him. If he’s not the guy, they will move on w little money waisted. If so, there’s no way that a first time GM & HC are passing on drafting their own QB in the top 3 with guys like Arch coming out.
@RealMarkMonte@the_real_reason 💯 my only point in Ewers is that it’s another datapoint. If he beats out Malik, it would be good to know what we’ve got there, too. Not that I’m holding my breath.
@Michael32934704@StevenHeathen@the_real_reason I’m not defending Willis but there were multiple teams interested in him starting. Keep in mind, Haf and Sully didn’t see Ewers play live- they are now. Willis made logical sense since he knows the system & was cheap. But If he doesn’t work out we’re drafting top 3 anyway.
@RealMarkMonte@the_real_reason I think you’re right. Everyone knows if he’s not the guy they’re drafting top 3 in what’s supposed to be a good QB draft. I hope he does work out- it takes the pressure of drafting an elite QB off the table.
@RealMarkMonte@the_real_reason 22M a year is nothing. It’s not like they gave him Tua money and they didn’t draft the guy. If they think Ewers is better and want to play him, I don’t think Ross is gonna care.
