I still don't think this is a big deal, insofar as it won't end up with Trump in stripes.  Who gives a **** what happens to Allen Weisselberg?

 

He only matters if he flips and the question is, are all these charges going to carry enough jail time for a 70 something year old to flip on Trump?

He will be the corroboration substituting in for the lack of Trump emails.

Seems like the prosecution was sand bagging leading up to this? Those seem much more serious than some minor charges.

I highly recommend gorilla grow tents, they’re top quality. Electric Sky LED’s are what I’m using and I like them much better than the old school HPS lights for ease of use and heat management. They’re top of the line as well and same for the ac infinity fans with a carbon filter. You will definitely need that if growing because the girls get stinky. 
 

As far as yield that is highly dependent on whether growing indoors or outdoors, the size of the pot/container used, light quality, grow space, environment quality, how long you veg, whether you train and top for more colas, and of course the strain. 
 

You want to plan ahead with your grow space. For instance you will want a high quality tent to avoid light leaks during the dark cycle if you won’t be able to completely enclose an area from outside light sources. This is extremely important because stress beyond certain thresholds can cause your plants to hermie and seed your whole garden.

I think it's 4 plants. Anything up to an ounce is fully legal. Anything over an ounce but under a pound isn't a criminal charge...it's a $25 civil fine. Anything over a pound is a felony (that escalated quickly). Can't sell or buy it, but you can give up to an ounce to other people for free.

 

I'm guessing that communities of growers will start popping up where they share between themselves and with friends.

 

I'm thinking of giving it a shot. I suck at keeping plants alive, let alone trying to imitate a light and dark cycle to force flowering cycles. But from what I've seen you can buy "autoflowering" seeds that don't require the light/dark cycle changes and flower automatically within several weeks.

If you have any questions about growing I’ll try and help you out if I can. Auto flowers can be finicky and don’t give you time to properly train during vegetation, so you might want to weigh the pros and cons before diving in. 
 

Photoperiods are easier to manage in my opinion and it’s not really that difficult to go from 16/8 light cycle in veg. to a 12/12 for flower in a grow tent. You just get a timer for your light and flip your plants to 12/12 after 30-90 days of veg. Depending on cultivar and height restrictions since plants tend to stretch a couple feet or more during flower. 
 

I do organic, no till growing based loosely on Clackamas Coots soil mix recipe. I can’t help much with people doing synthetic grows. I don’t have the experience with it. 

Does anyone watch Mr. Canucks Grows on youtube? I posted a link in spoilers just in case, but I think he's got some of the best organic grows on there, definitely from a production standpoint. My wife and I are growing two of the strains shown in this video starting in July, the banana butter cups and the wedding cake x banana butter cups from Square1 Genetics.

Buds look frosty as ****.

For anyone interested

I feel like one underrated quality we absolutely missed last year was the chemistry between Allen and Ionnidas. I can’t wait to see them back together and stunting off each other. 

I’ve been watching some of the shows talking about Fitzpatrick in relation to winning out in the NFC East. One thing they are being myopic on IMO, is they are focusing just on Fitz rather than the QB room as a whole. It’s too bad Volsmet had such trouble following social rules and sticking around here because we have the closest setup to his vaunted 2 qb cycling system. 
 

If Fitz has a 5 game stretch of brilliance followed a crash we put in Heinecke who can win till he gets hurt. Once he gets hurt we put in Fitz again till he crashes. By that time Heinecke is ready again or Kyle Allen becomes a game or two bridge till he’s healed. 
 

I love the build and synergy of our QB room as a whole and why I feel that eats into the reasoning behind why Dallas should be ranked ahead of us specifically with QB. 
 

Fitz and Henicke both have manifested moments of high ceiling play. Problem is that manifestation is volatile. However, each of  their volatility’s are different - decision making vs durability, but complimentary like I talked about previously.

what else can ya say anymore about the sick mass of society that are trumplicans?

 

i tried but can't buy into the 'excuse-making' or 'understanding/empathic' take for any of them individually or collectively (ime to date)

 

and given how antithetical making broad, sweeping, and intensely negative judgments of large groups of people is to me, that's saying one hell of a lot, especially when it has such staying power, even after paring emotional reactivity down to the bone

 

it's like my usual 'intervention toolkit' for cognitive/behavioral modifications switches over to those from the ramsay bolton and torquemada schools

 

 

quite the dichotomy

If it's any solace, the characteristics of extremism and hyper group think conformity makes the sweeping visceral rejection somewhat accurate. However, it is a struggle of only middling success to consistently muster the discipline to re-orient a perspective from a monolithic view to gradients of **** stupid myopic tribalism. Which only occurs if I moderate how often I expose my nervous system to the rage that comes in reaction to these chuckle ****s.

Was Matt Ion always bigger than Daron Payne? I feel like dude got noticeably bigger since last season. He dense/solid as hell in this pic.

I'm really hoping that he doesn't play careful and slow.  He's a first round pick, he's not going to lose his job unless he has off-field/personal issues.  We want him playing as fast and aggressive as possible.  We want him understanding that he's an athlete, so go get that ball.  Simplify his keys, condense the area of the field he needs to worry about seeing, and then have him trust his instincts.  The absolute last thing we want him to do is playing slow and thinking everything through on his reps.  That will get him eaten alive with how fast backs and receivers are.  Guarantee that's the main reason why so many young linebackers have struggled reason.

Luckily, he is both making mistakes and learning at full speed according to the below article.

Quote

"He knows he's in an environment where he doesn't have to play with fear," Russ said. "He knows it's a lot easier to fix something on where to go or the preciseness of it than to speed a player up. So hey, go make those mistakes full speed. Great, we'll learn from them."

 

A lot of younger players tend to get down on themselves when they initially struggle with the defensive calls. Davis is not one of them; instead, he calmly says, "Okay, I can fix that," and goes back to work.

 

The hope is that Davis' confidence will continue to increase as he learns from his mistakes, and that will allow him to play at the tempo Russ demands from his linebackers. He wants Davis to know without a doubt what his keys are, where he is going on the field and how he fits with the rest of the defense. It requires understanding concepts that Davis did not see in college, but that is an area that Russ has seen him work hard to perfect.

 

And Russ already has an idea of how hard Davis works. He coached with Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White at Wake Forest, so he trusts White to be honest about Davis' skillset. The result was a glowing evaluation.

 

"He could not say enough great things about him as far as how he studied and how he prepared to play the game of football, how he practiced, how he approached meetings, how he studied by himself [and] with other people," Russ said.

 

"You can see a guy that can really develop to be a guy that could really lead men in this league," Russ said. "That's what you're looking for, obviously, from your best players. You want your best players to be your best leaders, especially when you're talking about linebackers who have to quarterback the defense. That's what I really, really enjoy watching with him."

Has Collins been working with the first team? Or still working with trainers? 

He is working with the trainers, but during 11 on 11's he is shadowing the SS 30 yards behind and getting mental reps, plus coaching up the young guys.

Where did this tripe about having to respect all opinions equally come from? Ironically it seems to spew most frequently from those who would likely complain about “participation trophies” in life. Not every opinion is created equal. 
 

Can we all agree that while some opinions are objectively worthless, this isn’t the place to discuss that? 

Exactly. We all have freedom to form our own opinions, but people forget that we must also be responsible for those opinions. Responsible for both the substance of one’s opinion and the process one undertakes to form it. While also being responsible for how we manage the feedback we get from our opinion and the level of self reflection and self correction that arises from it. 
 

People don’t get to deflect and bypass that responsibility and accountability under the guise of absolute freedom. That is immature kid **** and people need to be more dependable and capable than that. 

Not sure where to put this, I figured here is at least scumbag adjacent

I’ve heard from both Logan Paulson and John Keim that our coaching staff is super high on Saahdiq Charles. If he can stay healthy he will eventually be a starter on this line. Logan saw him as a dark horse candidate to beat out both Wes and Flowers for starting left guard. 

Something to keep in mind for the 2029 draft thread 

Man trying to get triple AAA seeds from people like Square One Genetics and Thug Pug are crazy. They sell out in under 30 seconds and are harder to get than a PS5. My wife and I were literally counting down the seconds and hitting refresh like the dudes from Big Bang Theory trying to go to Comicon, but we made it happen. So excited to grow these and have their genetics on hand for our own personal seed bank!

A slightly different take...

I think this is Gotcha's second interception in camp, that we've seen.

Some Camp Observations from Yesterday

Ben Standig

Quote

With Samuel on the mend, Cam Sims worked as the de facto starter opposite Terry McLaurin. Second-year wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden stood out with a tough catch in traffic while Steven Sims caught a perfectly lofted toss from Fitzpatrick in the end zone.

 

Steven Sims faces a tough roster challenge strictly as a wide receiver. That he’s in the mix for returner duties could make a difference. Granted, he wasn’t terribly effective in that role last season — his 6.7 yards per return ranked last among the 12 players with at least 23 returns — but he was name-checked by Rivera when asked about the position.

 

Staying with the special teams theme, watching those drills in practice isn’t the most enthralling. However, they do offer some insight into those final coveted roster spots, which are usually about special teams even if the discussion focuses on keeping, say, a fourth running back, a fifth safety or an extra lineman. Based on Wednesday’s work, perhaps it could mean a fourth quarterback.

 

Along with special teams staples like Cam Sims and Troy Apke, second-year quarterback Steven Montez, in a yellow “don’t touch me” jersey, was working under the supervision of the special teams coaches. That included practicing swim moves against a tackling dummy or coverage unit work. As The Athletic reported earlier this year, Washington is eyeing Montez for a role beyond taking snaps at quarterback, and finding a home on special teams is necessary. That Montez has COVID-19 antibodies — Rivera acknowledged Wednesday that Montez tested positive last year — could help the team in a pinch.

 

There’s no delusion about Sammis Reyes’ ability to play in the NFL immediately considering his microscopic experience upon switching from basketball earlier this year. If thrust into a consequential situation now, the new tight end would surely sink. The good thing is Reyes is weeks away from training camp, let alone Week 1 of the regular season should he make the team, and the coaching staff isn’t shy about throwing him into the deep end already.

 

Reyes worked with the first-team offense at times Wednesday as the single tight end or in two-tight end sets, often with fellow rookie John Bates, a fourth-round draft pick. Holcomb deftly swatted away a downfield pass intended for Reyes on one sequence.

 

We’ll see if Washington keeps two first-year players behind starter Logan Thomas, especially considering Reyes’ steep learning curve. Temarrick Hemingway, an in-season signing last year, is arguably the best bet among the other candidates. What we know is at this stage of the offseason is the team is willing to let the Chile-born athlete get his feet wet with the starters, even if awkwardness ensues.

 

Thomas, the one proven player at the position on the team, had one of the day’s more impressive receptions with a snag in front of cornerback Kendall Fuller.

 

Bobby McCain knows Fitzpatrick from their time together in Miami the last two seasons. Perhaps that gave him the benefit of inside knowledge as the projected starting free safety, who has cornerback experience, intercepted a pass by Fitzpatrick on Wednesday. As his fellow defenders celebrated the turnover, McCain’s play offered the type of playmaking hope for a revamped secondary.

 

“It’s going to be a competitive group,” Rivera said of a unit that also includes cornerback William Jackson III, Washington’s highest-paid free-agent signing in March. “Guys have gotten their hands on some balls and understand how we do things and what is expected of them.”

 

Jackson is a roster lock and McCain appears safe, but there could be a roster surprise or two down the line.

 

“The competition is obvious,” Rivera said. “Guys are doing a great job of coming out, working and learning. This time of the year, that’s what it’s all about. They can count. You look around and guys are trying to create roles and opportunities. We are going to give them those opportunities to show us their stuff.”
