    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Statistically, it looked like a dominant game, but Mayfield missed at least 3 or 4 really critical deep balls where his receiver had at least a couple of steps on the defender. Montgomery's rib injury is concerning. I wonder if the Lions could make a run at Dalvin Cook for a late round draft...

    I'm trying to think, has there ever been an exciting overseas game? These London games always seem to be duds. If Miami vs Chefs next week doesn't work out, just scrap the whole concept.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't think I'd be able to wrap my head around shifting with my left hand. For the few times I've had to drive a RHD vehicle, I struggled to overcome muscle memory and was activating the windshield wipers whenever I tried to activate the turn signal. I feel like I'd constantly be putting it in...

    Serious question: What is going on with these brand names? Do these companies just slam their head on the keyboard when it comes time to figure out a name? Is there some strategy I'm unaware of that benefits your product being some random collection of letters?

    Did you know that Cooper Rush was an undrafted free agent?! Maybe if Dallas and the 49ers meet in the NFC championship, they'll be able to inform us in the broadcast that both he and Purdy were not highly touted picks coming out of college.

    Do you run your range hood fan when you cook and does it exhaust outdoors? Sort of curious since that's a project I want to work on for this reason. I don't feel like running through that half assed carbon filter is doing anything.

    Wait, he was the last guy picked in a draft? Wow, that's really amazing. I'm really surprised they have never brought that up in a broadcast. Well, I suppose they did once, but didn't want to keep repeating it since it would get annoying and cause people to start hating him if they heard it all...

    As already mentioned the engine is pretty reliable, albeit a bit of a pig. You won't really be doing much better than a half ton pickup (potentially worse). The turning radius is surprisingly bad too. I'd say some half tons probably could outmaneuver it. Checking some forums, they added...

    $60 4GB / $80 8GB, wish they still had a base version in the $35-$40 range. In terms of authorized sellers, it looks like only thepihut.com has preorders available. Not sure if I want to bother with them since my main credit card would get dinged with a foreign transaction fee.

    He's got quite a gap in his resume, also his education history is weird as hell. Why list your presumable study abroad years like that? It makes it look like he has two bachelor's degrees in the same thing. 0/10, would not hire. Image search for resume gap:

    Outside of the aforementioned price, they're pretty awesome. The only downsides I've heard of is you need to be pretty vigilant to make a good, even cut and deburr. That and the o ring could degrade from UV. Basically the stuff they warn you about in the instructions.

    You can only do a straight multiplication to get wattage at unity power factor. Since that thing consists of a bunch of motors and probably not perfect compensation, you're probably generously at about 0.9 power factor when operating. That would push your calculation above 10 since you would...

    That's just about everything these days, unfortunately. No OEM gives a shit about serviceability. Practically every 3rd gen Tahoe / 10th gen Suburban is driving around with one daytime running light out for this reason. I ended up just pulling the fuse when mine went so it was symmetrical again.
