OT: How often do you get a new cell phone ?

I think I have my iPhone for about 5 years. What performance lag with older phone, battery?

I am thinking of getting another IPAD , my third since battery and other problems.
Calls dropping …not often but happening. Picture messages not sending sometimes .
Guy at Apple Store did all the tests and upgrades . Couldn’t find anything wrong, except the phone was not new !

There’s a little bit of hyperbole in “no one is buying teslas.” Surely it was assumed market share would shrink as other companies caught up. The Model Y alone is still outselling Rivian 10:1 in California. I think Hyundai and Kia are the real ones to watch.
When your stock is priced for hypergrowth, any decrease in sales is analogous to "no one is buying".

Right now, Tesla is outselling Rivian, but we have to wait and see what happens when R2/3 comes out (if it ever does... still not sure if Rivian will survive). I have a feeling that demand for the Rivian product will outstrip supply very quickly. Hyundai and Kia may take away some customers, but comparatively Rivian is seen as more of a luxury brand.

Also, the "guys don't want to work for Schiano" is a little confusing.

I'm sure it's true - I don't know any better.
I'm not talking to coaches or sources.

But then why are guys coming back to Schiano?
I would imagine the guys must likely to not want to work for Schiano are guys who already had to "endure" Schiano micromanaging them.
I had read Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were micromanagers and I'm sure there are other successful football Head Coaches that the same can be said of them.
Not saying Schiano is in the same category with Urban and Nick when we consider top coaches, but saying his coaching style doesn't made RU FB a loser.
I feel Schiano's style helps build programs from a loser to a fairly good one, but Greg's game-day coaching and setting boundaries on how the offense should play keeps the football program from being a constant top 25 team and being considered elite an impossible mission.
I also feel Greg like a lot of other HCs have a personality and coaching style that turns some assistants off and makes them look for the exit, but he also has assistants that are loyal to him because they see what he's trying to do and agree with what he's doing along with knowing Greg has the same loyalty and respect towards them and though he might be stubborn he willlisten to what they think the program needs.
That's why they are willing to return to work under him and why he's willing to offer them employment time and time again

THE OFFICIAL 2024-2025 NET RANKINGS THREAD

Interesting to see the NET impact from Minnesota's win at PSU last night.
Minnesota 101 to 95
PSU 54 to 62

With no clue when Dylan is returning, it's hard to know what RU can do. But passing PSU in the NET rankings could be important for getting an NIT or Las Vegas bid.
So if we win tonight we can jump 10 spots in the net no? fir to say? If minny jumped 6 spots beating the #54 team

THE OFFICIAL 2024-2025 NET RANKINGS THREAD

yeah its all about big 10 tourney now but I was there weeks ago, i know people somehow feel they need to never give up hope but it does not make you a bad fan to be realistic...before the Harper injury we were in trouble
I'll disagree with before the harper injury...3-1 with a healthy Harper in the BIG...

OT: Wintry Mix Thursday (2/6) after 1 am: some snow/sleet through 6-8 am, then a bit of freezing rain (esp NW of 95) then rain likely until ~12 pm

yes this isnt a long duration event...not likely to get started til 2-3 AM for most and out by noon if not 10 or 11 for some.

So you have an 8 hour window of time for a storm with snow at lighter rates at the start and will there be enough of a thump of any heavier rates before changing to sleet and freezing rain to put down any substantial accumulations of snow beyond an inch or so.....many times the sleet comes in right away but there are times then snow/sleet persists longer than expected and thats the uncertainty here...then you have the freezing rain which probably will be happening during rush hour. So messy commute because of the timing but conditions should improved rapidly in the afternoon

some models are more frozen like the rgem and the very aggressive hrrr which puts 4 inch totals of frozen out but both NAMs are actually very benign for tomorrow. Even the gfs really is only 1-1.5 of frozen across central jersey

As usual location location location...the usual suspects to the north know what you are in for..those to the south and shore have been through this and those in the central its always the middle ground that could go either way.

Depends on who you talked to, but there was definitely those that mocked the idea that "competition is coming".
