    Will McDonald Projected 8th Overall to Falcons

    That's interesting. I'd always assumed that the road games were akin to a business meeting or trip and you'd still get paid based out of where your place of employment is. Is it the pay per game model that differentiates it from someone who travels a lot for work not having to pay based on how...

    F1 2023 Discussion

    Want to make the sprint race really interesting? Make the spring race starting positions be the inverse of either the drivers championship points or the race qualifying order. Lets see just how fast and good the front runners actually are. Or maybe just draw names out of a hat. It would give the...

    Friday OT-What did you call me?

    No in-laws for me, but all my siblings & their spouses refer to the in laws by their first name (my one BIL still refers to my dad as Mr. --- sometimes). What do people call either your parents friends or your friends parents? And has has it changed when you got to be an adult?

    F1 2023 Discussion

    There's a couple of videos on youtube about the logistics. As soon as the checkered flag drops they are starting to tear stuff down and pack up. Crazy amount of logistics. I think each team has like 4 (or 6?) sets of pit equipment that are constantly getting moved from location to location...

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    That's the way I read it as well. Concrete for the perimeter and then asphalt for everything else. Assuming they get decent weather, the asphalt paving portion of it will be fast. Big, flat open space with lots of space to stage trucks and turnaround? That's a pavers dream. That's where you...

    SI: SEC mulling new punishments for field storming

    I think there are a couple of reason as to why NFL fields don't get stormed (or even pro sports) 1) No "rankings" during the season. In college the top teams are ranked all throughout the season. So it's a big deal when an unranked team knocks off the number team on a Friday night. None of the...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    What you have a problem with TLAs? I mean, a/s/l, lol, roflmao, ttyl?

    SpaceX Starship

    I can also see EM not wanting to spend the money on it because it's not "cool" (that's just a personal opinion). Remember how hyped up his traffic solution / The Boring Company was supposed to be? Then they got in there and realized oh hey, mining a tunnel underground isn't actually that easy...

    SpaceX Starship

    EM is very good at having an idea and then the money/drive to push to get there despite any amount of ridicule. Most of his success is on the backs of other people. He's not out there leading the design team for the rockets. As far as the launch, how many Falcon 9 boosters did they blow up on...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I put 1-5 yrs, but the more that I think about it, I probably should have been 6-10 yrs Main reasons 1) I'm just not in the market for a new vehicle. My wrangler is 10 yrs old, but it's just a weekend toy at this point. I've got a company truck and I forsee that staying as a gas powered...

    Electric Lawnmowers - Pros and Cons

    I've been about a year with my EGo mower in a different climate compared to most of this board (PNW). Still like it. I do think I need to sharpen the mulching blade as the cut is a little ragged. That said, having the battery system was nice when I had to mow for the first time about 3 weeks...

    Crazy vehicle accident in LA

    I'll take accidents you wouldn't believe are capable of happening without video proof for $800 Alex. The people in that car have one hell of a story to tell.

    Every Day Carry Knives

    Sea-To-Summit Long Handled, Titanium Spork. Custom sanded to shave an extra 0.1 ounces off it's 0.4 ounce baseweight. Gotta stay light and tactical while operating in the lunch room.:jimlad:

    Every Day Carry Knives

    Benchmade Griptilian with the partially serrated blade. I think I've had this one for about 4 years and the one before that I had for 5-6. Before that I carried some variation of a Gerber (I was more prone to loosing them then so I bought cheaper knives). I like the thumb stud for opening it...

    How do you define "sports"?

    There are lot of jokes that could be made there. I think that qualifies it as a competition?

    How do you define "sports"?

    Yeah, as long as no one gets to defensive, it's actually a fairly interesting discussion because it feels like there is almost always an exception to any criteria. There are also a lot of personal biases involved and you get into the entire professional vs amateur debate

    How do you define "sports"?

    What about sports with subjective scoring? I mean some touchdowns in the NFL are objective and a lot of them are subjective. I mean, we all know the NFL is continually redefining what is or isn't a catch. Baseball is just as bad. I mean the strike zone is all over the place. Which actually...

    How do you define "sports"?

    So does that make gymnastics, cross country, and track & field all be games then? No one is playing defense in the men's 100m dash or the women's vault but those are definitively sports in my mind.

    I'm guessing they are going to grind the asphalt onsite and truck it out. Don't think I've ever seen recycled asphalt used as fill (but I'm a structures guy not a dirt work guy). I know a lot of plants nowadays will use recycled asphalt in their mixes where they can. Or they use it for a road...

    Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

    My parents have that in their finished basement. It was setup so that if you could put a pool table light in (ceiling fan would be difficult in the basement). That said my parents remodeled just before I moved out. They ended up changing which switch did what in the same location so every time...
