@GaryKral@RayCartwright The jumping act is irrelevant. The unnatural piece refers to the fact that she has made herself “bigger” or taken up more space than normal. This causes the arm contact, it then hits the arm, stops a scoring chance. It’s a PK.
This is dumb. Really dumb. Really Really Dumb.
Why? Because when you give it to Ins Carriers under the ACA, they have to spend at least 85pct of it on care for plan holders.
When sent to people's HSAs, there is no assurance that the money will be spent on healthcare costs at all.
A recipient can save the money and take it out when they turn 65.
MORE LIKELY , people will get that HSA cash, immediately take it out, pay the 20 pct penalty and buy whatever they want
So your tax dollars could be throwing parties !
Does this mean I like the subsidies going to the big insurance carriers ? No.
It means there are better ways to do this.
Whatever we do, taxpayer money HAS TO GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS PAYING or Guaranteeing NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE.
Sending money to people's HSAs is really dumb

@RussoHockey@brawdylucas You can’t play Rossi in a bottom six role with guys that don’t think/play the skill game. He isn’t a bottom six heavy/role player. It makes him look like he can’t play, which he can. If you don’t see him as a top six guy then sit him. And then trade him.
@guyddog@afcyung@RussoHockey Yep. There isn’t a world 89 is a top six player let alone a second line center. If 23 can’t play top six then just trade him.
To avoid embarrassment it might be useful to read RFK Jr’s book rather than rely on ChatGPT. The quote in question is on page 153: “[RotaTeq] almost certainly kills and injures more children in the United States than the rotavirus disease killed and injured prior to the vaccine’s introduction.” This quote is not in reference to the clinical trials data. It is based on a set of statistics that RFK does not provide a source for and that we concluded, after exhaustive research, that he probably made up. The RotaTeq vaccine showed 90 percent reduction in morbidity in developed countries—where, of course—a reduction in mortality would have been unlikely. In countries like India, in contrast, rotavirus vaccines have saved millions of lives. It takes a special kind of moral idiot to evaluate a public health innovation and forget about the developing world.
@DanMyers The Big Ten will be sharing revenue with 5 sports per school. Football, M and W basketball, volleyball and then each school can pick their 5th. Many will choose M hockey. There will be money to buy top hockey players for 50-100k per year in the Big 10.
@ChrisSchwab4@DanMyers You forget the Big Ten has a very lucrative TV deal. There will be money for hockey there. And we need to stop saying NIL. It’s all moving to revenue sharing. NIL will only be for bona fide business opportunities outside of revenue sharing. And will be monitored as such by NCAA.
1. Listen carefully to every sales pitch, what they emphasize reveals priorities.
Check the roster and see where you believe you fit in. If you're being sold as a specific type of player, that's what your role will be. If you're getting promises, investigate how their word has been to former players. Reach out and do your homework.
What coaches emphasize during recruitment tells you everything about program values. Do they talk about development? NHL pipeline? Culture? The weight they place on each reveals what truly matters to them.
Ask pointed questions: "What's your success rate with transfer players?" Their comfort with these questions reveals transparency levels.
2. Understand your value on their draft board, not all interest is equal.
Does the head coach or assistants call you? Are you able to talk with the TEAM staff? A big reason why I graduate transferred to UND was because Brad Berry met me in Colorado Springs for breakfast once I was in the portal and talked with all of the staff members. How could you not want to go to battle for UND?
Actions speak louder than words. If you're a priority, they'll show it through who contacts you, how quickly they respond, and the effort they make to connect personally.
3. "Most people think they're thinking, but they're just rearranging prejudices- William James", this impacts recruits the most.
Persuaded by friends to come to their school? Ask yourself: Are they true friends? Would they pick up the phone if you called when you needed a favor? Don't let others' biases become your decision.
The transfer process is filled with outside opinions. Former teammates, family members, and social media all push their perspectives. Challenge yourself to identify which thoughts are truly yours versus absorbed from others.
Make a personal priorities list BEFORE entertaining offers. Rate each program against YOUR criteria, not someone else's. What matters most to you.. playing time, location, coaching style, academic programs, pro development? Let YOUR values guide YOUR decision.
Hope this helps.
@WestinMichaud Last point is the best. Are you who they want or are they just placing you ahead of others who have fallen out of favor or moved on? Great post.
