  1. There is a key thing when other teams body up Vicario, we don’t handle it well. He gets bodied up and it just seems to lead to goals.
  2. Whew. Big save. And it didn’t matter. Another conceded goal on a corner.
  3. Let’s go!!!
  4. Was reading he might be out a few weeks. Maybe past the international break.
  5. Ok whatever. Hook ‘Em.
  6. Did the triple on Wednesday. Covid, flu & shingles (hit 50 this year). Covid & flu on the left, shingles on the right. Covid and flu were not bad. But shingles hurt the moment the needle hit. I was wiped Thursday but not bad yesterday. My shingles shot is still a touch sore today.
  7. Golsch also added something at the end of this game too. For those that didn’t watch the game (me): https://sports.yahoo.com/florida-atlantics-tom-herman-irately-confronts-south-florida-head-coach-alex-golesh-after-44-21-embarrassment-050444675.html The play sequence was funny too. They failed to get 3rd & 2. On 4th & 2 ran down the clock, took the delay of game and still went for it on 4th & 7.
  8. So living up in the Boston Metro my BBQ choices are shit, shittier or make it myself. I've had a few crappy offset smokers before, a Charbroil from Wal-Mart crap smoker and found a New Braunfuls POST-Charbroil smoker on the side of the road that I was able to make work for a few years (I even found another one a few weeks back for my place in Vermont). But a few years back I got an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Offset (non-reverse flow) that I have been quite happy with (especially living up here). It works pretty well, especially once I extended the smoke stack and added tuning plates. Nothing too fancy, and with good effort makes better brisket than any place up here*. Eventually I will invest in something more, but this works just fine (with stronger effort). However, tonight the inside of the firebox did something .... odd. I had the sense to pull my phone out to take a video. I saw this happen from nearly the initial spark and form a small ring that grew into this. Any idea what this is? The music felt right * The place everyone raves about is a place called Blue Ribbon. They aren't just bad BBQ, they are bad food. Their brisket is so bad, I wouldn't feed it to my dog. I can easily say the place is the worst BBQ you will ever come across - yet people RAVE about it here. Anytime I talk BBQ and mention I'm from Texas everyone asks "Have you tried Blue Ribbon?" The answer is yes and I have regretted it every day since then. I mean I just smile and nod. There are a few "better" places, but while they can have great days (top out at a 7), they are very much not consistent and will go down as far as 2.
  9. Women always take longer.
  10. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/13/technology/elon-musk-security.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Wk4.Otr8.9t0HfPm7QBY3&smid=url-share Elon's massive security detail is really starting to make sense now.
  11. It's Nov 1 in Boston Metro. I have my windows wide open for a nice 75-80 degree day.
  12. Bunk. @Guadaloopy told me this is 100% operation as expected. I mean all those tests that guy ran where kids popped out from behind cars and were hit - bullshit and FSD should never be expected to handle this.
  13. Elon musk has his sister wives in a compound in Austin https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/business/elon-musk-children-compound.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WU4.uPRi.NWSyetqJ99dg&smid=url-share
  14. You should also lookup the Arsenal goal which was a free header on a corner
  15. That goal wasn't all on him. His defenders left 2 guys all alone in the middle of the box on that goal. Both of them "shot" at it and he was shielded by his own defenders. He should have done better with it, but put some blame on his outfield.
  16. Spurs draw ManU at home in the QF.
  17. Really was.
  18. Big win
  19. It’s called the league cup. Take advantage of what you can.
  20. LFG!!!

    I’ve seen speeds that low too. I’m not surprised to see poor performance in the city.

    It could be where you are too. My parents can consistently pull 100 down but only 2-3 up out in Dripping springs. I was able to get similar numbers out in Vermont before I sent them the unit.

    My parents have it in Dripping Springs - it is the only thing they can currently get - love it works great. With their sky view (100% clear) they have no issues with reception and 100% uptime. The only downtime was an outage that the system had a few months back. It was a few months back - but the only blip in the year they've had the service.
  24. Earnings call was "good". I put that in quotes partly becuase a lot of his numbers are "fudged". Yes, their real numbers were up. But the biggest boost to their numbers was actually selling carbon credits, which really boosted the numbers big time. In the end, it was a good quarter. Will it continue? Who knows. but they did ok.
