  1. Almost an hour later they're finally under 15 minutes. Finally feels like it might happen...
  2. I would assume that the FDR and cockpit recorder are powered off the APU. Does this mean that APU wasn't engaged. Isn't starting the APU practictly Step #1 after a power loss?
  3. I'm getting dizzy just looking at this dude.
  4. You know that crew is going to go home to to the Great White North and claim total Air Superiority and that they bombed the fuck out of America.
  5. It's the SAME shit every movie... ...but I'm a guy, so fuck yeah I'll watch it.
  6. Once it gets to this stage, the fight is already lost. The part I'm unclear on is if they actually took reasonable steps to prevent and mitigate this. Fires in California have a long history, so fires in these exact places should have been expected and planned for. What fire prevention steps did they take during this prolonged drought?
  7. Um, Isn't Pasadena straight downwind from the Eaton Fire? They probably have some nice hotels in Riverside. Don't sleep deep and keep the bags packed. Stay Safe.
  8. Not up on all the minor LA burbs. Had to look Sylmar up. Triangulated around the Hollywood sign. And a quick check of the wind: That's really not good. Not good at all.
  9. Honestly, I don't know how they could possibly survive that. If one side of the house is burning like that, the fire is probably already on the other side. That house is on the clock. Maybe just get in a car and floor it no matter what. Damn, that's sad.
  10. There is no scenario where someone looks better with mole. None. It like crooked teeth; you need to suck it up and deal with it.
  11. Ok, I'm impressed. ND got the ball back after that 4th down stand with 9:25 left. They're just grinding the hell out of the clock. Georgia may get the ball back with under 3 minutes
  12. That is a one point play, but it resulted in an additional point for the offense after a TD. That couldn't account for a 14-1 score. A blocked PAT can be returned in college, but that results in 2 points. As far as I know, with current rules, there is no way to get to a 14-1 score.

    Getting old sucks

    On the bright side, your temp is 98.0 degrees, so you Got That Goin' For You, Which is Nice.
  14. When I first saw the NFL one a number of years ago, I poked around for 30 minutes, and then left and never gave it another thought. Likewise, I poked around on the CFB one when it was posted upthread, and now I have no need to ever visit it again. Adding more bells-and-whistles to a site that serves no real purpose is kinda pointless. Never in 50+ years of being a football fan have I been asked something like: "Do you know many games have ended 23-39". That said, I am curious to know how the Harvard v. MIT game in 1883 happened to end 14-1. Olde-timey rules I guess. Curious, but not curious enough to actual google it.
  15. There was that one time where someone was drowning and he wouldn't lend a had. That's a pretty dick move.
  16. Have you ever watched something and then wished that you hadn't. Everybody gets old and everyone dies, but it's sad and depressing to see people that shaped my world get to the end of the road. I caught a 10 minutes segment of this where they set up his old kit and he got behind it for the first time in years. He was so frail that he could only pick up one stick and lightly tap a few drums. He'e only 73. On one hand he shouldn't look that old, on the other hand, that's what a lot of 73 year olds look like. .
  17. After careful consideration over a glass of very old Scotch, I have come to the important conclusion that for today, I hate Tech more than I hate the piggies.
  18. Ever seen the Universal Hot Crazy matrix? You either have a unicorn, or you may not want to leave the lights on during sex.
  19. Extended family get together, we're bring mashed potatoes. Wife doesn't normally cook, because...reasons. Mrs. 0xdeadbeef: <puting 7 lbs of peeled and chopped potatoes into a pressure cooker.> Me: Hon, that may be too much for the pressure cooker. Mrs: No, they fit. Me: Ok. Just be careful not to put the water over the Max line Mrs: <enable irritated tone> I've got it. Me: ok. <a few hours later after returning from shopping> Me: Dear, what's all the water on the counter ... and the floor? uh, and under the cabinets? Mrs: That's from the pressure cooker. Me: Ah. <note, this was not a question on my part> Mrs: It started coming out when it was cooking, and then when it was done and I opened the valve it came out a lot. Me: Oh. <bite tongue> I fully expect that pressure cooker to be thrown out and a new 'working' one to be in its place.
  20. You and I had different priorities as a dad. I would have beat the crap out of that grinch...even I was the one who had hired him.
  21. First reaction: I like rock, let's see what's on the list. Second reaction: OP's list is Ok, but I can do better. Third reaction: Damn it, there are too many possibilities. It's like Sophie's Choice.
  22. Paging Bobby Petrino.
  23. Holy Crap indeed. No point is saying everything I own was red today, because that applies to just about everyone.
  24. I re-read post#1, but I haven't been paying attention for the past couple years. Is this a reboot/fresh start of a new universe, or is it connected (in the same universe as) something already out?
