  1. I mean ... yeah some people are pretty over the top with this shit, but it's not like he's done nothing to warrant a massive amount of optimism. IMHO the 2 starts vs ULM and Miss St are meaningful, esp for his first and second starts ever. And for the season even in limited play, Arch has 9 pass TDs, 2 int, and 4 rush TDs.
  2. So from what I'm reading here and elsewhere, I guess this further suggests birdstrikes on both engines? Damn.
  3. Or a couple bags of Quikrete. Good as new!
  4. Yep. That's what I was telling my boys last night. There is no such connection. Some of the best and toughest firefighters I ever worked with were people that those folks would call 'DEI hires', and some of the weakest ones were not people who'd be termed DEI hires. Bottom line is that there are stronger FF and weaker FF in every subset.
  5. I got no problem with PK and what he's done with this D.
  6. Holy shit. I guess we just aren't gonna get a single holding call ... wow.
  7. JFC. Both dudes on the double team in the middle were holding ...
  8. Because "My team". Duh, stoopid lib nutjob! That's simply the only thing that matters to some folks ...
  9. So, apparently there is a signed doc from 1916 where the US officially recognized Danish interest in Greenland. Just saw on another board ...
  10. LOL. Dipshit's name checks out. Wasserman is, afaik, German for 'waterman'.
  11. Well, this. x Eleventy bazillion.
  12. NSIAP ... I just read elsewhere that 'the city of Pasadena has asked the media to tell their citizens to stop using their leaf blowers to try and put out fires because it is just burning their neighbors homes down. Apparently it's become a serious problem'. Wow. That's just gonna feed the fire. People are getting dumber by the day. SMH.
  13. I used the exact same word today to describe Trump, Elon, et al for making the LA fires a political football. Last night on x, I challenged Elon & Charlie Kirk to ask me anything so they could learn something. They declined, because they're pussies who aren't interested in how anything actually fucking works.
  14. Yep. Where on the engine can I find the water hammer?
  15. And then there's this sneaky bastage eyeballin' my 'za ...
  16. 100% my cat is fucking awesome. Dude thinks he's a dog, too. Rain, water, dirt, mud, even snow. Zero fucks to give. He rolls in the dirt just for the fuck of it. When it gets cold he comes inside and jumps up onto my chair or the bed if I'm sleeping, and curls up between my legs like he is right now. NTTAWWT.
  17. NM. Much better explanations from Herbie & BillyGoatHill above!
  18. Absolutely 100% guaranteed.
  19. So before there's another freak-out - over them not having hoses on the engine - there are several possible reasons for that. - they had to leave them behind at another fire because they were in use by other crews/apparatus and they still wanted to keep this engine in service as a manpower unit, doing whatever it could do - they had to drop lines and leave a fire scene quickly to escape with their own lives - it could be a reserve engine that simply wasn't even ready for front line service but they took it out anyway (pretty likely imho, since it's an 'all hands on deck' situation where you wouldn't have enough apparatus for everyone who's coming in to work), or other reasons.
  20. Thanks for taking that one on, Herbie. Nobody's missing any time on the end of a handline because they decided to go do pressers instead. I understand the emotional response from that poster, but it's only that - an emotional, malformed response. And nobody's just letting a school burn because they don't feel like putting it out. In situations like these, as you're well aware and I mentioned earlier, it's a case of triaging the fires just as you would do at a mass-casualty incident.
  21. For a comparison, 32,000 acres burned in the Bastrop fire. So, superimpose the Bastrop fire on SoCal, and this is the result.
  22. Yeah I was referring to rural wildlands. In WUI areas fuel removal helps, but not by burning it. They aren't going to do that near residential areas. Removal helps. It's not going to prevent the incident, but it can lessen the severity.
