Either I'm crazy or they're crazy

Just saw an ESPN (Bristol garbage) list of the anticipated top 25 FB teams and their prospects. I've rarely felt EIU was very good and simply benefits from a weak schedule and the reluctance of the big media to disrespect B!G (shocker, I know.) So here we are again - we are nowhere to be seen and EIU is #23. WTF? So - at some point self examination happens. Am I crazy and YES EIU is good year in and year out OR are they (ESPN) pukes who pander to B1G money and eyeballs? Or both? I fear it might be both. Or who cares?

What do people think about next expansion rumor for Big 12?

Some blogs out there indicating that Big 12 is talking with FSU and Clemson via third party. Possibly 6 teams from ACC could be joining the league, and this may include FSU/Clemson/Miami and 3 others. They make it sound like Big 10 is sticking to their AAU requirement, and supposedly the SEC is not interested in expansion, and SEC already has Florida covered anyway. Not sure what to make of these rumors.

FOOTBALL ***Fall Camp Position Preview: The Quarterbacks***

Talk about what a difference a year makes. Iowa State is in much better shape going into 2024 than it was in 2023. The offensive staff knows exactly what it has with Rocco Becht returning as the incumbent and JJ Kohl and Tanner Hughes back as reserves.

Biden to drop out?

odds of Biden dropping out are at 25% and growing.

I look for Kamala to be the replacement, and they know she will get slaughtered (which the dems actually want). They want her gone from politics. Poll in Virginia shows a tie for crying out loud! Biden won that state by 500K votes last time. If Virginia is truly in play, The POTUS will be over by midnight on election night. The Dems have no path without VA.

And the gender gap is huge. But not how you think, everyone thinks it is Trump with the gender gap, down among women by 9 points. The real gender gap is Biden is losing among men by almost 20 points. That should tell you something, men pretty much hate Biden. The people that think logically are voting for Trump, the people that think emotionally are voting for Biden.

Green Fertilizer Plants

I seem to recall reading about this before and thought I posted a question for farmers on it. But I couldn't find the post, so all ask again since this article was in the Sunday Ames Tribune. Is there any merit to these modular fertilizer plants and their claim to lower farmers costs? Or are the claimed savings simply a result of government funding for "green" production. Inquiring minds want to know.

Any hamburger cooking experts out there......

I consider myself to me a pretty good cook and good around the grill. One thing I have never figured out is how to grill a perfect burger. I start out with a good bun sized patty and after grilling it turns into a much smaller diameter and rounder piece of meat. I have tried all the "tricks" with putting a dimple in the middle, putting an ice cube or pat of butter on top, etc. Also my grill is a Horizon (no longer in business but was called the slow cooker of grills back in the day). It physically cannot get over 400 degrees and by design there are no flare ups so it isn't like they burger is burning or getting charred.

What am I doing wrong? I love me a good burger and while these reduced sized patties are still tasty and juicy, how can I keep their approximate size?

Global Integrated Power Tracker

I found this site interesting. Below is a description and a link to an interactive map. You can waste a lot of time drilling down on this data by country, technology and status through various places in the life cycle from announced, through construction and operational as well as cancelled, mothballed, shelved and retired.

The Global Integrated Power Tracker (GIPT) is a multi-sector dataset of power stations and facilities worldwide. The tracker provides unit-level information on thermal power (coal, oil, gas, nuclear, geothermal, bioenergy) and renewables (solar, wind, hydro). The tracker includes data on unit capacity, status, ownership, fuel type, start year, retirement date, geolocation, and more. Each power facility is linked to a profile page, hosted on GEM.wiki, that provides further information.
The GIPT dataset is continuously updated after each new release of these underlying trackers and maintains the capacity thresholds and methodologies of those projects (see methodology).
The most recent release of this integrated data was June 2024.
Update: Forgot the link. Global Integrated Power Tracker
