  1. I remember we called it “The Martian City” when the first dorms opened up at Amherst. There was virtually nothing there at all on the property.
  2. Andy…all of what you said is true. We actually HAVE a system in place for migrant workers to enter the country for the kind of work you outlined above. It’s been in place for decades. Those laws/systems are currently being ignored.
  3. I hope they install the live web cam(s) during construction. The challenge with something as large as an NFL stadium is picking a view that shows anything significant. On some of our larger projects the Contractor will install multiple cameras so you can switch between views, and then move them as the project progresses so you’re not staring at an unchanging blank wall for weeks.
  4. So if I pay for the YouTube Sunday Ticket do I also get the cat videos? (Asking for a friend.)
  5. How is it that we impeached the former President for asking about corruption within a former administration, and we are not impeaching the current President for actually being corrupt? We now know for a fact that Biden was briefed about the Russia hoax while he was in office.
  6. Thanks! So in essence what you’re saying is you’re in favor of ultimate rule by the Executive Branch. I thought you were opposed to that sort of thing….no? Sounds like ‘democracy’ only works for you when the voters agree with YOUR position. (Now, just so you know, I am also not in favor of such a ban.)
  7. Wrong! I most definitely was. Nice try though. Yes, it’s a question. That’s what the question mark means. How about answering it?
  8. As an executive order or by signing a bill that’s been passed by houses of Congress?
  9. Are they handing out diplomas on a matchbook over at SUNY Amherst these days? (Kidding, a bit) The statue and false Nazi quote was long BEFORE Covid. And yes, I think it’s utterly childish to go out and destroy public property because you don’t like a statue.
  10. And right here we’ve learned another invaluable lesson today: Another thing thar died, was/is IRONY! Unbelievable.
  11. So here’s what we learned today: Even when shown that the media lie they’ve been spreading for years is utterly and blatantly FALSE…they’ll just keep right on pushing the narrative. And they call Trump voters a cult? Hilarious!!!
  12. It’s utterly fascinating to me how it’s primarily single young men that are need of seeking ‘asylum’. In the olden days they would’ve been called …what’s the word again? Oh yeah…LEGAL immigrants abiding by the laws of our country!
  13. And now we return you to our regularly scheduled programming. 😂
  14. You hit the nail on the head! The league is literally designed for one of two options. You either hit on draft picks and ride them through their rookie deals thus creating some level of roster stability, or you resign yourself to a high degree of roster turnover as the more expensive veteran free agents come and go from season to season.
  15. Keep pushing the lies. Someone is bound to believe them. Too bad everyone has the internet.
  16. So if I understand this correctly, the President of the United States just told a bunch of high achieving "People of Color" that they and their parents just wasted thousands of dollars on a college degree because "whitee" is out to get them? And just four years earlier he would have told these same kids that "education is the great equalizer". Nice job Joe!
  17. Nice deflection tactic Hawk. Keep pushing the race-hate porn.
  18. Nice photo album. So you’re saying that I don’t live in an extremely diverse community? I’ll be sure to tell that to all of my neighbors. They could use a good laugh at your expense.😉
  19. And that’s been your life experience walking around lily white New England? Here in Southern California I live in the most diverse society in the history of mankind and nobody gives a rats arse!
  20. My favorite part of the border discussion is how neat and orderly the ‘wall’ looks in all of the video footage. Then, when you see the part where the wall construction was stopped, you see nothing but trash and chaos. There isn’t a better way to summarize this Biden-created humanitarian disaster. Period!
  21. Keep pushing the racism agenda. I guess it’s all they have left. Sad.
  22. I’m of the opinion that the lion’s share of next year’s roster turnover will be due to factors other than the cap. Like many on here I trust that the Front Office knows what they’re doing in the financial regard. But, let’s say the team makes the playoffs once again but craps the bed there, then I’m guessing turnover will come more out of choice than necessity. And likewise if they win the Super Bowl then roster turnover will come like it does for all championship squads as players, having accomplished the goal, will choose to leave for new challenges and greener ($) pastures.
  23. We’re actually able to email a link to the model and the Client can look around the model from their cellphone. But, they cannot walk around inside it. They can just see a complete 3D image of a specific room. So in the case of the new stadium, the Bills could send you a 3D image from a particular seat, and you could look all around in every direction from you phone. It’s nowhere near as realistic of an experience as wearing the goggles.
  24. No worries. In my business the actual opening of the new building has become a bit of an anticlimax. The VR experiences we can provide to our Clients during design are so realistic that once they stand in the real building the reaction is often something like “so… it looks just like the renderings”. 😉
  25. Thanks....you are correct, it of course won't show you everything....but it is really darn close. Your comment on leg room is a good one. It's critical to the gameday experience. I've mentioned this in previous posts on stadium design and row spacing. I'm going to assume that Populous is going to get it right and pray that their experience will not be overwritten by those trying to squeeze in an additional row.
