    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Good hire by the Giants. With the Eagles seemingly on the decline, the Commies trying their best to RG3 Daniels, and the Cowboys lacking a defense, the Giants could turn around pretty quickly. I was worried Lafleur was going to be fired and he'd end up coaching the Packers.

    Only compatability. I figure if it's running Windows, I'd like to stick with an x86 processor. If they're alright now, maybe I'll take a look, I wrote them off back when they released the Surface Pro X and it was hot garbage.

    Facebook marketplace has become sort of the defacto private party sales site now. Sucks for someone like me who refuses to get facebook. Consider this the universe concurring that it's a bad idea. A car like that shouldn't be a daily driver, especially in a state that gets snow. Save your...

    Wife is looking for a Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard. Was going to get her a Surface Pro, but apparently they're only making the Snapdragon version of that now, so, that's out. Any recommendations? I guess non-detatchable keyboard is ok too so long as the hinges are actually durable.

    Teams and coaches have a terrible memory (and ego). It's already happening with Brian Flores too. I don't see another Saleh or Flores head coaching gig ending well. Especially Flores.

    I like symmetry for the doorway, but I don't think it's the end of the world to be offset like that. I would definitely want a double door for my main entrance though. The amount of times I wished I had one in every place I've ever lived in, if I was ever starting from scratch, it would be a...

    I think he would be a pretty good fit as the Lions OC assuming they revamp their O-line. Only issue I see is he might be bad for continuity as he might get poached for another HC position rather quickly if he was able to get things working properly.

    I think this is probably only the second time this had happened with a division: all 4 NFC North teams finished with a winning record. Also, equally flukey: the division winner was swept by the basement dweller.

    I agree the NBA still has the edge by a good margin, but the NFL is doing everything they can to close the gap in a hurry. The fact I can see the name Vinovich, Hill, Cheffers, or Allen and know some bullshit will be afoot is damning. That at least 25% of the crews are complete dogshit is...

    What a surprise, a Brad Allen officiating crew with a ton of bad calls... How that dipshit is officiating a game of any importance or even any NFL game at all really shows what a problem the league has. I'd say the NFL has nearly reached parity with the NBA at this point.

    The range kind of kills it for me. 150 miles on the base version is miserable and 240 isn't much better. Cut those numbers nearly in half for any winter driving. I'm curious what customization they'll actually launch with - I'm skeptical the government won't limit a lot of the things they're...

    Fuck draft lotteries. Does anyone think that would be on the up-and-up? That would just be another lever to make sure the league's money making teams are gifted players. Look at the NBA.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You could definitely call those vehicles a series hybrid in the sense that you have an engine in the system and it's only supplying power as a generator. The distinction I would make is in the scale of the components in the system. Traditional hybrid: ~1-2kW battery (basically zero range as an...

    Series hybrid trucks? Literally nothing currently exists. It wouldn't need to be plugged in. I think the only true series hybrid on the market is the Nissan E-Power overseas. They've also only put it in small passenger vehicles. A lot of OEMs are afraid of them since they can be sort of...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The battery in a series hybrid is going to be considerably smaller than an ev or phev truck - potentially almost 2/1 orders of magnitude smaller respectively. A traditional parallel hybrid also still has the engine coupled to the drivetrain through the transmission, so, it can contribute engine...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The energy recovery is easy until you have nowhere to put it. Most series hybrids use a pretty small battery. If you're doing a long descent while towing - a situation where you would normally be utilizing engine braking, it's very conceivable you can fill up the battery, then components start...

    Nearly impossible to pull off when you need a gigantic battery to not severely compromise its ability to function as a comparable truck to the gas offerings. As it stood, even with the big ass battery they had, range while towing was a non-starter. The EREV they're replacing it with could be a...

    Fixed it for you. Dude's 35 and was already starting to slow down. Doubt he is able to rehab from that mess in under a year, so, he's probably looking at trying to come back at age 37. He's had a great career and won a Super Bowl, time to hang it up.

    Is that supposed to be your fridge in the corner of the kitchen? I wouldn't butt it up to a wall like that, especially if you were doing a french door fridge. Also, not sure what styles of cooking you do, but I think putting your range where it is will make it difficult to do a vent to the exterior.
