- Of course. Immigrants want to come in and take good American jobs! - spamlet Oct 8, 07:02
- No points for that though. Now if you can drop kick it through consistently... -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 8, 06:58

  - yeah, there are managers and tax directors where I work that end up coming in at 7am to try to get on hold all day to talk to the IRS. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 8, 07:13

That double punt is ridiculous for how easily the punter picks up a spinning ball while in full stride with one hand. - Will Hunting Oct 8, 05:46 10
- Those Seahawk uniforms are a war crime -- nm - TWuG Oct 8, 06:22 6
  - I can't imagine they sell a lot of those jerseys to people that aren't cyclists or road construction crews. Oregon has a similar neon jersey that -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 8, 06:25 4
    - So they probably sell a shitload in Seattle then. -- nm - mafic Oct 8, 06:39
    - It's like if the Boise State field became a uniform. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 06:37 2
      - I miss the old multihued Boise State basketball courts -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 8, 07:12
      - So Crash owns 15? -- nm - spamlet Oct 8, 06:38
  - NFL Color Rush uniforms are usually an assault on the eyes. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 06:24
- It's an Aussie Rules skill, apparently. -- nm - Reagen Oct 8, 06:04 2
  - And now that I’ve watched it, yeah, they for sure drill that in AFL, both picking up and kicking on the run. -- nm - mafic Oct 8, 06:36
  - I believe that. Their ball handling is seriously unbelievable. - mafic Oct 8, 06:32

    - Does the ADP report cover the whole month? Because the jobs report surveys only go to the middle of the month. - Inigo Oct 8, 06:33 1
      - It’s different methodologies, and covers private payrolls only, but I’m not sure what their sample period is. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 8, 06:35
    - . -- (link) - ty97 Oct 8, 06:24 12
      - Is that saying it's a loss of education jobs? -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 06:27 10
        
        More of statistical weirdness due to the seasonal adjustments being out of whack, because covid, than an actual change in number of jobs. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 8, 06:33 2
        
        Thanks! I wasn't sure what he meant. -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 06:42 1
        
        The unadjusted numbers in education were roughly +1.2m across all sectors, adjusted to -180k. But still +550k year-over-year if I’m doing the math right. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 8, 06:51

        As someone without Twitter, I appreciate him not threading them. I wouldn't be able to see them if he did. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 06:36 1
        
        What? You don't need a Twitter account to see tweet threads, do you? -- nm - mara Oct 8, 07:14
