    Brandishing a deadly weapon definitely changes the situation.

    From the article linked above, the tow truck driver brandished a metal rod. Any attorneys or LE want to chime in as to whether someone threatening you with a weapon changes the calculus of what is and what isn't acceptable in terms of using force to defend yourself?

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    I don't disagree with any of that. I was just pointing out that the Congressman's point ("hey USAID is acknowledged in this 2015 paper") isn't necessarily the smoking gun that he apparently thinks it is.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Not sure about the "that's the reason these labs were outside of the US" -- USAID is, by definition, international. So if they are funding something, it isn't in the US.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Not really. That's what USAID does. It's all international.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    One slight point of clarification based on my experiences as a research scientist both in academia and with the federal government: Just because as academic paper lists a federal agency (or other funding source) as having providing funding for a project does not mean that funding source...

    Breakdown of Penn State athletics financials

    PSU athletics isn't really supposed to "make money." The more money they make, they more money they have to spend on athletics. That can be in the form of salaries (old folks like me remember when PSU didn't pay their assistant coaches very well), facilities, or operating costs (e.g. PSU's...

    They do (as do goldens) but they still aren't built for the US South.

    Peacock be damned

    You have actually zero basis for making that statement. And you wrong. I didn't bring it up. You did. I corrected your error. What can I learn from wrestlers that applies to my field? Not much. Hard work and discipline but I've been practicing those things since before any of the current...

    OT New Dog Thread

    Some short haired dogs with very little body fat (e.g. greyhounds) would be very uncomfortable on a walk if it's below 32 degrees. I guess you could argue "don't have dogs like that in cold climates" although I feel worse for the huskies and malamuts that are owned by people in warm weather...

    Report: UNC Viewed as SEC, Big Ten's Most Attractive Expansion Target from ACC

    You are correct about UMD and RU, but I'm not sure people consider viewership in terms of "major metro areas" anymore. The decline of cable/rise of streaming has made this less important. So "total viewers" is obviously important, but the metro area in which the school resides doesn't (to my...

    Report: UNC Viewed as SEC, Big Ten's Most Attractive Expansion Target from ACC

    Not sure it does *nothing* for football. Their program has been on par with some of the (former) Big Ten West teams (Minnesota, Iowa, etc) which is to say a good season every now and then and mid tier bowls the rest of the time. But yes, it's a big get for basketball, many olympic sports and...
