So at what point is it considered unacceptable for these players who are now being paid for their services to play at their respective institutions, to sit out in the name of securing their future earnings for an entirely different league/entity?

I love Ron. Voted for Trump in every election.

I thought Ron was an A+ option this last cycle if Trump was unable to run.

I think Ron is an A+ option moving forward. He and Vance are great guys to have in the wings following Trump. We are extremely fortunate to have two very viable candidates and it will be a battle between them for the next nomination.

Keep the leftist loons away from killing them and we are in a good shape moving forward with tough, capable leadership.

It’s amazing that we still have retards that want to blame this whole season on Nuss when we have witnessed what we have witnessed the past several weeks.

Living by this mantra irrespective of rational application of context is foolish IMO.

My wife and family need me before I risk my life and freedom protecting some woman I don't know who may well be a Communist who hates me and my family and is pursuing the destruction of the values I hold. I will use my judgment in respect to when and how I determine who to defend.

The war machine needed a boogeyman if not the Soviet Union it would have been some other country. Think about the money made in the forty years after the war ended.

You think the USSR was a fake "boogeyman"? This shows the true degree of failure in our education system. The Soviet Union is one of the most unambiguous examples of barbarism, brutality, inhumanity, corruption, and authority through terror. They are the most legitimate example of an international threat to human freedom and prosperity in modern history.

Yeah, no self-aggrandizing, opportunistic fricktards on the political left, right? :lol:

I don't know what he is except a QB that either won't or can't run which doesn't work in today's CFB

It absolutely can work if you design the offense with his strengths and limitations in mind. Last year alone demonstrates that. He is not a runner but he is also not a statue and he has a great arm and has demonstrated the ability to make extremely accurate passes.

Our offense is not tailored to his strengths and having a horrific run game and offensive line certainly don't help. A different offensive scheme would likely help mitigate both but our coaching and scheming has been pretty awful along with Nuss' apparent early season injuries limiting his main strength, which was his velocity and accuracy.

Pinning this season's woes on Nuss is simplistic. The coaches should have pulled him when his injury took away his strengths and the offensive line couldn't maintain a pocket. They didn't. They hung him out to dry. He didn't suddenly forget how to play quarterback. When healthy and schemed right, Nuss is a weapon. He is also a gunslinger and prone to make a stupid turnover, so he is certainly not without downside but the kid can play.

Currently have a 3 ton unit in an 1879 sq ft house that is over 20 years old.

Just got quoted $12,800 for a 3.5 ton Carrier heat pump system (currently have just electric heat system). Expanding return air. No duct work. 10 year parts, 2 year labor warranty. I believe he said it's 15SEER but it does not specifically say in the quote.

I was quoted $8,500 on a Goodman 3.5 ton, 14 SEER (no heat pump, no return air increase) a few months ago from a different installer (less reputable installer but installed an A/C for my mother and they have no problems). This guy did not make any mention of needing to increase the return air, which I am most certain is needed.

So a ~4K difference between Carrier/Goodman, with heat pump install vs no heat pump, and increase to return air duct. Larger company with more name recognition vs local owner/installer.

Going to try and get at least another quote or two.

They do have that right. That's not what's in question.

Thinking it is time to pull the trigger on replacing the AC. I have a Carrier 3 ton unit R-22 that is probably close to 20 years old. Just guessing as I moved into the house 5 years ago. I've had a slow leak pretty much the entire time that I've had to charge at the start of each summer and it typically maintains cooling though until the next hot season. I purchased a 30lb R-22 tank a couple years ago to minimize my costs on the recharge when my AC guy comes out because obviously R-22 has become rather pricey.

The secondary drip pan is constantly filling (and draining as intended) due to leaks from the primary drip pan. I sealed a crack in the primary pan with some JB WaterWeld but it seems to still have a crack that is in the corner that I can't see. The secondary pan also looks pretty dang rusty, so don't feel very comfortable with it being constantly full of water. I've been trying to patch all the issues to keep it going until it breaks but I'm thinking it might not make sense at this point to keep prolonging the inevitable.

So far I've had one AC guy quote me on a Goodman 3.5 ton unit to replace the 3 ton ($8,500). The house is 1879 sq ft in south LA, so it does appear that a 3.5 ton is the recommended size. He seems to think the same duct work can be used (it's all in good shape), but I've read that the ductwork for 3 ton and 3.5 ton is not interchangeable and can put a strain on the system and be less efficient.

Thoughts on Goodman brand (single stage unit, 14SEER) at that price? And thoughts on using existing ductwork while increasing to 3.5 ton unit?
