  1. Not really. Just because the first group of 10 is bundled as "The BIll of Rights" doesn't mean 11-27 are somehow less important.
  2. So why didn't the first "Carrington Event" send us back to the Stone Age?
  3. I could see about half the screen from the left rail. I ended up just getting a beer with my daughter and listening on my phone.
  4. I could have sworn I heard that The Sword split years ago, but I keep seeing them on bills. Is this a temporary thing or are they full-time again?
  5. Whatever you do, don't count on watching the game in the beer tent at ACL. I tried last year -- total zoo. No viewing angles if you hadn't been there camping out for a good while.
  6. No idea. They claimed the AquaFence was good for a 15 foot storm surge, so it would be a tactical blunder of biblical proportions if they only protected gainst a 5 foot surge. I'm gonna assume they got the basics right.
  7. She started out way behind, because Biden. She may or may not win, but that may have nothing to do with her "strategy" or some sort of strategic shortcomings.
  8. That all depends on how far above sea level the bottom of the fence is.
  9. The pressure load on the fence increases towards the bottom, whereas the wind load is roughly constant bottom to top. What I don't know is the relative magnitude. (Dams are thicker at the bottom for this reason.)
  10. I'm not sure. Obviously, it depends on the wind speed.
  11. It's not exactly hard to calculate wind loads. Civil engineers learn it . . . in school. Hell, most architects could do it.
  12. Yes, there are no structures capable of handling the tub surge of a preschool boy.
  13. Pretty cool interview on CNN with a director at Tampa General Hospital, talking about their "AquaFence" that provides surge protection up to 15 feet. It worked perfectly during Helene:
  14. I don't know how anyone expects anything of Morgan. It must be the accent. He's a game show winner who considers himself a Tory and counts Donald Trump as a close personal friend.
  15. Plus, it contains oats and some kind of tofu-ish shit. No thanks.
  16. You see, what this doesn't show is the tampering of the tabulators going forward. Checkmate, libtards.
  17. Most of the Tampa Bay area is under voluntary evacuation orders. It's still likely that Milton will be a Cat 4 storm when it hits. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't stay put for those winds.
  18. My coach couldn't get us to stop. Tiant's wiggle, the Joe Morgan batting twitch, all of it. We were never very good but we had fun.
  19. I'm going to see her on Thursday, that would be a real treat.
  20. I recently (and briefly) interacted on FB with a dude I knew from childhood. He is now 100% Q and MAGA, but was exceedingly polite about it, until he wasn't. He eventually accused me of having "gone feral". I kinda liked that. I unfriended him nonetheless. Feral.
  21. Is that a chicken fried steak or a hubcap?
