    What Part of No Profanity Isn't Clear?

    I just suspended a poster of 14 years standing for a cute attempt around the profanity filters. It was an end-run around an X-rated word, and barely even thinly disguised. What part of this isn't clear, guys? - No profanity. - No cute attempts to circumvent the profanity filters. - Provided...

    Biden on SCOTUS

    Surprised a thread on Biden's proposed Constitutional amendment on SCOTUS hasn't gotten a thread. I agree that SCOTUS needs a code of ethics, and think Congress could make that stick so long as they don't overreach and try to attach a lot of tangential stuff couched as "ethics." But a...

    Darwin Award — Leader In The Clubhouse

    Guy puts what was apparently a big firework on an Uncle Sam type top hat that he was wearing. The firework was already lit and, despite efforts from nearby family members to stop the incident, went off. Allen Ray McGrew ended up dead. I’m sure there was no alcohol involved. “St. Peter, it...

    Alabama QBs in 2024, II

    New thread only because the old one got too long. Discuss and debate in a professional manner. No personal attacks or characterizations. If you disagree with another poster, that’s fine. Just say you see it differently and present your logic. Fair warning: If you can’t do that, and this...

    Goodbread Article: NIL Donations More Important Than Arena Pledges Right Now

    Interesting article from Chase Goodbread of the Tuscaloosa News: With a Final Four wind at its back, Alabama basketball needs NIL help more than an arena | Goodbread (msn.com) Note: This is NOT the troll / clickbait king of al.com, Joseph Goodman. You might agree. You might not. I'm a bit...

    Interesting Kentucky Sports Forum

    Cats Illustrated is an interesting Kentucky forum. Similar look & feel to TideFans, only in blue. Allows viewing and reading without creating an account. Lots of moaning and whining. Most think Scott Drew is the guy, and they are generally unhappy about that. There is some delusional talk...

    No Politics On The Football Board -- We're Serious

    The presidential election is coming up, and I imagine now that the nominees are set, it's going to get even more emotional than it already is. This is a reminder that political discussion allowed on Non-Sports, Politics and Religion only. We've already had to take action, once on a newer...

    PFAS vs. Malaria -- Unintended Consequences

    One of my favorite topics is unintended consequences of well-intended actions. First, a bit of background PFAS is an acronym for long scientific name for chemicals commonly referred to as "forever chemicals"....chemicals that either don't break down at all or break down only over centuries...

    Prohibiting or Requiring ESG Investing -- Or Is That Too Simplistic?

    I thought about posting this on the Financial Planning page, but figured that if anybody read it, it might get political pretty fast. So I headed that off and put it in NSPR. Great article from one of my favorite authors on Morningstar, John Rekenthaler: Should ESG Investing Be Criminalized...

    Gymnastics vs. Arkansas -- Friday January 19

    Nice meet overall. Let's get the downside out of the way. Slightly disappointing things were (1) we struggled on the beam, (2) a couple of questionable scoring decisions, and (3) the meet ended in a tie with Arkansas at 197.525 each. Several positives: - The score was a season high. - New...

    No Uninvited Solicitation on TideFans

    Got a report of a new member sending unsolicited PMs offering Rose Bowl tickets. We don’t allow that on TF, except on the Ticket Exchange board. Obviously, if you link up with another poster there and exchange PMs regarding the transaction, that’s fine. Just no unsolicited messages with...

    Why is Ohio State Losing So Many To The Portal?

    tOSU is losing at least 10 to the portal, and that’s on the first day. Some were highly rated recruits who aren’t getting the playing time they anticipated. But a couple (the QB and a WR) were starters who figured to be so in 2024. Others fall somewhere in the middle. And while I know...

    Question re: Anti-Barking Devices

    My neighbor has 3-4 dogs that bark all day. Usually starts about 7AM, sometimes as early as 5:30. Goes until 8 - 9PM, and cranks up like the sun the next morning. Anything can set it off, and it takes a long time for them to calm down. Then something else happens, and the cycle starts again...

    WSJ Section on Alternative Energy — 11/30/2023

    There’s a whole section of today’s WSJ on Alternative Energy. I thought about putting this in the NSNPR board in the thread on interesting technology. But given today‘s world where having a cup of coffee can be interpreted politically, I decided the regular NS board would be safer. The...

    Re: Abortion -- Ohio Gets It Right

    Ohio has passed an amendment to its state constitution allowing abortion. While I think abortion rights advocates are overstating the breadth of the victory, I also think Ohio got it right. The amendment concentrates on the issue of viability outside the mother's body and defines that point at...

    Have EVs Reached A Short-Term Peak?

    Interesting take on EVs from Peter Zeihan, about 6 minutes long: His hypothesis is that EVs have reached a short-term peak, and may decline for a while until some fundamental changes happen. You may have noticed that Ford and GM have cancelled most of their plans to produce EVs, and Tesla is...
