    OT: Lindsay Vonn crashes, knee likely permanently wrecked

    So that’s good for Stryker since it’s the other knee, although they laid me off and rif’ed my entire team. That is a pretty x-ray and looks like she’ll at least save the leg and walk again. Everyone walks or skis their own path. All the best for her recovery.

    OT: Lindsay Vonn crashes, knee likely permanently wrecked

    I worked as a principal engineer for Stryker’s advanced technology group supporting their robotic Mako hip and knee compatible implant products. The ACL tear would have created additional joint instability and laxity that would have placed extra stresses on the implant-bone interface. Even with...

    Does Braun survive if he loses next four in a row?

    Smells like eau du boomere up in this thread. Or posters who aren't currently raising kids in this economy or have 2 bread winners each pulling down at least 6 figs each. A lot of people can afford season tickets but it’s not the most financially responsible move. Wait until car insurance...

    If Franklin is gone, they might play with a chip. I think he lost the locker room a while back.

    Northwestern shocks Penn State in massive upset, 22-21

    So I knew Penn State was wearing throwbacks for their game against the ‘Cats today in Happy Valley. I couldn’t watch the game because kiddos had Cub Scout camping (cut short by the incoming nor’easter), but I brought out this 30 year old beaut for some mojo. Now, I have NU hats of all makes, for...

    NU @ TU Prediction Thread

    Search the internet. I was there that summer in frat house without AC.

    NU @ TU Prediction Thread

    83 was the Chicago dew point in the summer of 1999. Anything above 70 is oppressive. The heat indexes were like 120.

    NU @ TU Prediction Thread

    Heat and humidity are in the mind. Hydrate well, hopefully have sideline cooling fans, and with all the modern UA wicking materials plus a dash of good clock management and we can negate that environmental advantage. Chicago summers were 95 heat / 95 humidity in the late 90’s so I can’t believe...

    Funding Freeze at NU

    Privatization of research and less educated voters. Pretty straightforward.

    Funding Freeze at NU

    Who’s lawmakers and experts? I’m quoting a statement from NU itself.

    Funding Freeze at NU

    Just no. That’s propaganda. Reports are down 88%. NU has complied to all the strong arm tactics. You don’t have to be an ardent Zionist to be a good Jew just like you don’t need to follow all the tenets of Christianity to be a good gentile apparently. Now being a MAGA cultist is another animal...

    Funding Freeze at NU

    Reports of antisemitism on campus are down 88%. It’s politics of the worst sort hiding behind Israeli hypocrisy, and that’s coming from a bar-mitzvah’ed Jew. Northwestern has always had a strong Jewish cohort, and it’s always seen its share of anti-Semitic invective. Maybe it’s time for all of...

    Funding Freeze at NU

    With this elite university research funding withdrawal and tariff/market chaos, the jaguars are on the prowl and people who were inclined to vote poorly are finding out. Is this what you hoped for? Or did you just want all that research money to go to Elon contracts and sycophant kickbacks...

    Is Greg Newsome a bust for the Browns?

    I don’t think he’s a full bust. He’s plays fine as a member of a fairly talented secondary group. Although he does get overhyped making the most basic of plays, which grates on the Browns perpetually downtrodden fanbase.
