All that’s left now is for this utter buffoon to start calling himself ‘the science’.

So if I understand it correctly, Putin was so upset when Trump lost that he threw a fit and invaded Ukraine. Yep…that sounds right.

Probably was a MAGA fan that threw the rock. 😉

Correct. There’s a ton of work that has to happen before anything starts coming out of the ground. Deep utility lines go in first (sewer, storm drain, etc) and then foundations are formed/poured after that. If I recall, the field level in the new stadium is still below grade so there’s a lot of earth to be removed (thus the blasting into bedrock) and retaining walls to be poured. All of that happens long before any steel is erected.

Let me put this in football terms, since this Board is hosted by Bills fans: When my wife and I go to a Bills game (anywhere in the country, or world) there are literally thousands of Bills fans there. Almost every one of them is wearing a Bills hat...including me. Seeing as how my wife isn't from Buffalo, I generally find myself praying that there won't be a couple of knucklehead Bills fans acting like complete A-Holes thus soiling the reputation of everyone who wears the hat. But...even when there are I still wear the hat! (Keep in mind, this analogy does NOT apply to Raider fans. They're ALL ...what's the word...deplorable!) 😂

Everyone has Hawk….next topic. 🙄

Face it Hawk, you were convinced these folks were deplorable long long before January 6th.

Long live the new King! Goose, Goose, Goose! 😁

I guess the irony never occurs to you that you’ve been brainwashed into building up the MAGA movement into a neat sound bite of a boogeyman that justifies the exact sort of vitriolic response you claim to detest. And in doing so you’ve decided that half the country is…what’s the word I’m looking for….deplorable!

I just got the chance to watch the video and I have to say that’s about as close a representation of how the architectural design process goes as I’ve ever seen. Tons of meetings. Lots of conversations with the client. Changes to the details after getting input, but all the while the architects are moving things along behind the scenes, back at their office. I also enjoyed the part where they visited other stadiums. That’s very realistic. I cannot tell you how many times a client would walk into a facility and ask me…”Can we have one just like this?”. Of course once design work gets started they always want to make changes but the initial thought remains. Lastly, if you watch closely you’ll see many quick shots of the computer model (it’s black and white) spinning around on the computer screen. That’s the ‘model’ I’ve been referring to in so many of my posts. Views of that single model are then printed onto sheets (which you also see them flipping through), which ‘lay people’ still think of as blueprints. And, the color renderings we’ve all seen are nothing more than individual screen shots of that single model which the software puts a color filter and shadows on top of. We can take a screen shot of the model from literally anywhere inside or outside the building. Thousands of them, if we want to. Hope that helps.

EXTREMELY rare. We create more than three renderings for even the smallest of projects. As I’ve explained many times, these are not traditional renderings. They’re nothing more than single cells of a continuous animation path. I have no idea why they’re showing so little. Beats me!

God? MAGA powers? Now what? Must be late there.

Obviously. And that’s really a shame. 😉 You’ll find out, eventually, when you’re the last one eaten.

Recently relegated to court jester, BillStime unleashes a torrent of posts attempting to retake the throne…but alas to no substantive avail. Long live the new King!

You mean out there just like the 1023 Form? You mean hidden and redacted for YEARS? Is that the ‘out there’ you’re referring to? You've lost a step BillSy. There’s a new King of BS on here now. It was a good run while you had it. Time to pass the torch. 😉

So you don’t want to make America great again? You’d rather stick with the mess you just agreed exists now? Sure! That makes a TON of sense.

It is very fragile Hawk. When the permanent bureaucracy no longer reports to the elected officials, who in turn report to us, it’s game over!

You guys are all focused on the wrong folks. The elected officials are corrupt for sure, but they’re simply playing within the guidelines established by the entrenched permanent bureaucracy. It’s a symbiotic relationship but corruption, while obviously bad, isn’t the worst of it.

Where as you believe men and women have the same strengths and weaknesses?

I’m far less of a ‘party’ guy. What happened under Trump was that somebody finally started shining a flashlight on the corruption and permanent bureaucracy that have completely lost sight of their national mission statement. I couldn’t care less whether Trump is/was a D or an R or anything else. He served a purpose and they are STILL actively trying to destroy him for it.

When did I say he wasn’t allowed to have an opinion? But trying to pass yourself off as an American, while criticizing the voting record of those who actually can vote is another thing altogether.

At least you’ll be under the roof overhang! (Had to do it.)

Close…but I think the point was that historically (at least recently anyway) the defense is going to ‘suck’.

Nice excuse there Hawk. Russia had zero impact on the election. There’s not a person alive who didn’t already have an opinion of BOTH Trump and Clinton. Not one!

Hawk….It doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots.
