What was the most impressive drive of the 2020 Season?
sherpa replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd go with the late drive against Arizona. Great thread, by the way. -
It isn't "blood."

Tough to say. The slat damage can be repaired, but the wing spars, the spanwise structural components that run perpendicular to the fuselage will be X-rayed to assess non visible damage. If you hit something and you're not on the yellow line you're screwed. If you hit something and you're on the yellow line, you're screwed. But if you hit something, get on the yellow line. They were on the yellow line. Can't see the wing tip from the cockpit. The 777, a much bigger airplane, has cameras mounted on the horizontal stabilizer that you could display and see the nose and main landing gear because of the difficulty of taxiing. We weren't supposed to view it in flight, but I always did. It showed the immediate contrail formation behind the engines at cruise.

Is there another hurdle JA needs to hop over?
sherpa replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Knock off the wacky huge loss sacks and fumbles. Put the ball in the receivers hands where they don't have to break stride, reach too far, and otherwise disrupt their ability to run after catch. Thankfully, he seems to know that, as has mentioned it as an offseason goal, but it is an accuracy thing. That's one of the things about Brady. He puts it right on the numbers in the receiver's stride. Josh doesn't, but he usually gets it there. Weird thing, he usually nails the sideline routes like nobody I've seen. -
I heard an interview with Thomas last year or so about that song. He said that in order to get the nod to do it, Bacharach and David told him to sing it without any "styling" input. Just do the song, or we'll get somebody else.

Mystery Surrounds Upcoming Pentagon Report on UFOs
sherpa replied to Nextmanup's topic in Off the Wall
Not to weaken the astrophysicist's argument, but the Russians and Chinese already know a great deal about our F-18's radar and FLIR systems. They shadow aircraft carriers and have been for decades. It would far more valuable an intel "get" to find out they were operating drones off the SOCAL coast. -
You're my aunt! Finally, after all these years, I found you.

I have a slightly different opinion. The Bills offense benefits immensely from two components, and it explains a lot of long third down conversions which we've we've all seen and enjoyed, especially since the Thanksgiving Dallas game. First component is Allen getting out of the pocket and buying time towards the sideline. Second is the receivers recognizing the scramble drill and getting open when the initial timing of the play is disrupted. I think the Bills are extremely good at the scramble drill passing offense, and especially Diggs and Beasley. Josh gets them the ball because he has the ability to throw from many arm angles, even if his balls aren't super accurate. So far, works for us.

Getting a new grill— thinking about a Kamado
sherpa replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in Off the Wall
I should have mentioned, if you need to replace that part, its a fabric gasket. Ten minute job to replace. Pull the old gasket off, use a chisel/knife/ blade of whatever sort to get the adhesive off, and put the new one on. Let it sit for a day and your back in grilling business. -

Not sure about other brands, but I replace the seal on my Primo about every three years. Regular low and slow meals don't cause any wear and tear, but pizza and other things I do at about 500 degrees do. Easy and cheap to find on Amazon or on any user forum for the particular brand. -
My response is, I really wish I wasn't behind that guy.

Mystery Surrounds Upcoming Pentagon Report on UFOs

It's very difficult to judge or evaluate IR video from a HUD camera. I've flown many sorties at sea using FLIR and you get some really strange images. Even the accurate ones are suspect unless you know the range and heat source. I doubt one in ten would be able to identify an aircraft carrier at 60 miles using FLIR with appropriate magnification unless you knew what you were looking at. It's an odd, distorted image. -

The land is of inestimable value. It is simply impossible to value it without regard to Jewish history. -

And the Arab world's treatment of the "Palestinians" throughout history is another interesting subject. Only works when they are leveraged against israel. -

Plenty of US blood has been lost as the result of Iranian action. A US retaliation against that regime would not involve significant US troops. It would be air, and it would be effective. -

Glad you made your decision and are pleased with it. As I said, I've been cooking on a Primo XL for years, and if there is one bit of advice I would offer, because I think it's invaluable, is to purchase some kind of temp controller. If you want to do long cooks, like brisket, pork butt, or ribs, it is essential that the temp be controlled accurately. Same with turkey/chicken. It is way too much work to actively control it with vent placement, and even then the temps are not accurate. On my Primo, I cook brisket and pork butt at 225. In order to get 225 in the cooking area, where it matters, the dome temp indicates 305. In other words, the dome temp is useless if you care to cook precisely. Controllers are not cheap, my DIGI Q is about $125, but it holds the cooking temp within two degrees without any work, or opening the lid, on my part. I get it stabilized at the cooking temp for 20 mins then don't open the thing for ten hours until done. Pays for itself after about five cooks, and I wouldn't operate without it.
