If the average person went back 10k years they would be regarded as insane or heretical. Even assuming communication wasn't an issue, way too much of your knowledge is built upon things you don't understand and don't exist. You can't do anything with electricity until you can refine metals and make copper wire. No average person knows the precursor plants for medicine. Brick making is beyond the average person and you wouldn't have a kiln anyway. Working without metal tools makes most processes the average person would know impossible.

    25-28 sounds about right for men. For women that seems way to old, 14 is still very young, but around 20-23 was common.

    Also keep in mind that a church could bend the truth and just not publish the overlap. You can have a few branches going way back and just be unknown on those that overlap with them.

    Whatever works for you. If you regularly use drugs or alcohol, don't completely stop, but be careful with them. There's plenty of lists of strategies and not everything works for everyone. The only real universal thing is to take time being not ok.

    Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

    • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

    This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

    Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

     

    Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

    Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

    The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
