    The machine must grind  ever forward. Thankfully, I had planned.  Beyond the obvious, you have to wonder about the impact on folks next year.  All these reductions in services surely will lead to a need for much, much more revenue next year. 

    i can't be sure but i'm quite sure they will induce a new tax on non-existant services to pay for those reductions. 😁

    Which “others”?  
     

    The ones struggling to survive financially, or the financially entitled unaffected by a shutdown of the economy?  
     

    Like many others, I received my school tax bills last month.  The only mention of COVID was that the town offices was in regard to severely reduced hours of service to take the payment.  No deferral option, not payment plan, just “pay the &$@@ing bill.”  The way I see that is you pay 100% for roughly 40% of the services. 

    lol. you really didn't expect a reduced bill did you?

    of course you didn't

    can't answer the poll because my reason is not one of the choices.

     

    however... i like him because he is not one of them. you know... those who think they are not beholden to the plebs they lord and rule over, otherwise known as the political elite. you may say that he is just a different demon and you would most probably be correct. however, we know what we have isn't working. at this point, almost anything else is worth a try. don't let the main stream morons gaslight you, they are in on the game too.

    Why do you believe what you're told?

    Okay, so the question goes to you...

     

    Do you question your "preconceived biases" or do you just go about it?  Reading your normal sources of info?

    i try, however i am human so it is not completely unavoidable. in terms of politics,  do try to read items that go against what i believe, such as WaPo and NYT articles. 

     

    i will say though that the older i get, the less i want to put up with nonsense from the Left.

    It’s time for your weekly update on Josh Allen’s downfield passing. It was a big conversation last year when he was struggling, so it’s only right we harp on it now that he’s turning things around in year three. Allen is now 18-for-24 passing for 489 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on passes that travel 15 yards or more in the air. He has more completions and yards and a better completion percentage on those passes than any other quarterback in the NFL through the Sunday afternoon games in Week 3.

     

    Allen has also only been pressured on 4.2 percent of his pass attempts that travel 15 yards or more in the air, by far the lowest rate in the league. And 41.7 percent of those attempts have been off of play action. So Allen is getting the protection and smart scheming necessary to make plays down the field, and he’s putting the throws on the money.

    let's hope that the protection continues to hold up.

    E, I am a never Trumper, and like 99% of all people, do not believe the virus is fake , but that the reaction and lockdowns  to it is overblown. My reaction is the exact same as when the VA Gov announced last Friday he and his wife were positive. This is an highly infectious virus that no matter what side politically you are on, what precautions you take, unless you you want to 100% isolate from the world, you have a chance of contracting the virus. And even then, you may still test positive.

    What i am certain of testing positive does not mean Northam did anything wrong, or immoral, or selfish( one of first states to mandate masks BTW) , and same goes for Trump. 

     

    Neither of these men should be castigated for a positive test for a HIGHLY INFECTIOUS virus. I will castigate Trump for a myriad of reasons, but not this.

     

     

    As an side, this is most likely my last post at TBD. A certain mod has decided that any and all of my posts deserve warning points, and as it seems her power is all encompassing, i have decided best for me to not support this site any more. I know, crushing right?

     

    I have been friends with E on this board since 2004, so much so even texted him the other day laughing about our early discussions on HD and the type of DVTs etc Directv had way back when. Yes, HD was a topic , one might say "novel" , when i joined this board. 

     

    But my libertarian bent  and love of this country is just to deep  to put up with strong armed censorship of ideas and views, particularly when it is censorship based strictly  a mods point of view. Dictatorship is good when you the dictator. 

     

    Thank you @SDS for the providing the forum, it was a fun 17 years. Wish you all the best!

    Enjoyed it yall, 

     

    And for all those that make  the tailgates great, and no longer post here...you bastages are not done with me, i have all you numbers! 

     

     

    i have reported this post. the following is my report:

    I hope this finds each and everyone of you well. The Obnoxious poster here.

     

    As an addendum to my post in the 'discussion of moderation' thread that was closed, this board is changing and I don't believe it is for the better. Being chased away is much of the 'color' that has made this place kind of a unique experience. Between this and the rampant TDS/snowflakeism mindset, it is heading in the toilet.

     

    Paul is one of the better posters here, I just can't fathom why a MOD would want to run him off. Disagree with what he thinks, fine but his arguments are rational and logical, even if I don't agree, I appreciate his perspective.

     

    You're killing this place....

    Earthquake Forecast for the Westmorland Swarm beginning Sept. 30, 2020

    October 1, 2020

    A swarm of earthquakes southeast of the Salton Sea, in the Brawley seismic zone, began on Sept. 30, 2020.  The swarm continues today at a lower rate, with 4 magnitude 3 earthquakes recorded in the first 7 hours of today, compared to 40 magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes recorded in the last 7 hours of Sept. 30th. The largest earthquake that has occurred, as of this release, is a magnitude 4.9 at 5:31 PM PDT on September 30. This earthquake and the associated swarm are located in an area of diffuse seismic activity between the San Andreas fault in the north and the Imperial fault to the south.  This area has also seen swarms in the past –notably the 1981 Westmorland swarm, which included a M5.8 earthquake, and the 2012 Brawley swarm, which included a M5.4 earthquake.  Past swarms have remained active for 1 to 20 days, with an average duration of about a week.  The current swarm is occurring about 20 kilometers (12 miles) to the south of the swarm that occurred near Bombay Beach in August 2020.

    In a typical week, there is approximately a 1 in 3000 chance of a magnitude 7+ earthquake in the vicinity of this swarm. During this earthquake swarm, the probability of larger earthquakes in this region is significantly greater than usual – about 1 in 300.  The swarm continues to evolve, and we expect to update this forecast with more specific probability information as we collect more data.

    The following three scenarios describe possibilities of what could happen from 1 October to 8 October.

    Only one of these scenarios will occur within the next week. These scenarios include the possibility of earthquakes on and off the Imperial and San Andreas Faults.

    1. Scenario One (Most likely: 90%):  Earthquakes continue, possibly including earthquakes up to magnitude 5.4.

    The most likely scenario is that the rate of earthquakes in the swarm will decrease over the next 7 days. Some additional moderately sized earthquakes (M4.5 to 5.4) may occur, which could cause localized damage, particularly in weak structures.  Smaller magnitude earthquakes (M3.0+) may be felt by people close to the epicenters.

    2. Scenario Two (Less likely: 10%): A larger earthquake (magnitude 5.5 to 6.9) could occur within the next 7 days.

    A less likely scenario is a somewhat larger earthquake could occur (up to a M6.9). Earthquakes of this size could cause damage around the area close to the earthquakes that have already occurred and would be followed by aftershocks that would increase the number of smaller earthquakes per day. This scenario occurred in a previous swarm in the area – in 1981, when a swarm in this region included a magnitude 5.8 earthquake.

    3. Scenario Three (Least Likely: approximately 1 in 300):  A much larger earthquake (magnitude 7 or higher) could occur within the next 7 days.

    A much less likely scenario, compared with the previous two scenarios, is that the ongoing swarm could trigger an earthquake significantly larger than the M4.9 that occurred on the 30 September (i.e., M7.0 and above). While this is a very small probability, if such an earthquake were to occur, it would have serious impacts on communities nearby and would be followed by aftershocks that would increase the number of smaller earthquakes per day. ...
