  1. I'm not an engineer, but seems to me that when/if you lose a control surface (wing, epennage(sp?)) so that you're no longer in controlled flight, IMO it would be quite possible. Buildings fall apart in 100mph winds, how do you think an aluminum fuselage would fare in 500 mph?
  2. I think I've got the same video. And YES, it is MUCH funnier when told by chimps! I don't know how to upload it, but if one were ambitious, one could find a link to it.
  3. I don't believe they typically use wedges on PR, so is the rule change at all relevant? As for Parrish being #14? Come on, be serious. Some/most of his success might be attributable to our overall strong special teams, but he's been consistently (over his short career) among the tops in the league avg wise. And some of the things he does are just phenomenal.
  4. In that particular instance, it appears that a seatbelt would've been even more prudent.
  5. Yes, indeed, you might. Seriously, I doubt someone would do that, especially if an electrician did the work. Ignoring the electrician's reputation, they probably charge more per outlet installation that the cost saved by removing the GFCI outlet.
  6. GFCI can be built into the circuit breaker or somewhere in line. I might be mistaken, but it's possible that "overhead" lights might not be required to be on a GFCI, only outlets, etc. (I also believe it's recommended that lights be on a separate circuit from the outlets so that you can see in case they're tripped. (They're on the same circuit in my house.))
  7. What sort of light bulbs does it use? Are they regular incandescent 110v ones or are they like low voltage florescent? If they're florescent the fixture likely has a transformer in it. They cost about $20 & although there's quite a few wires, they're color coded so it's pretty easy to replace. As others have warned - MAKE SURE YOU FLIP THE BREAKER OPEN b4 working on anything.
  8. At least in NYS, the lien holders are listed on the Title. He needs to sell you a car w/ Title lien free (to further protect yourself, you might have that worded in the contract). If there is still a lien on the car, he must fulfill (pay off) it b4 selling to you. It probably takes sometime to get a new lien-free Title (it took weeks way back when I had to last be concerned w/ it), but you can get a letter from the institution holding the lien that the obligation has been fulfilled so you can get a new lien free title upon transfer. Hope this helps.
  9. I can think of 2 possible reasons: Cooling - those helmets are uncomfortable and hot. And to lessen the effect of having your "bell rung". If you get hit around the earhole, what I think is a combination of the plastic reverberating and the air forced into your ear disorients you somewhat (mildly dizzy). Having the extra holes might lessen the vibration and would also allow for another hole for the air to escape so as it's not so much forced into your ear.
  10. W/o spoiling your spoiler, you might well be right, but didn't we already encounter a character of similar title affiliated w/ another entity that would be described as "honorable"? I don't recall his name. I realize this means nothing, but we know that this particular character died in previous episode.
  11. It might be a bit tedious, but you can enter each "lower character" by entering it's ASCII code. For instance, the code for a period is 46. Hold down your <ALT> key & hit 4 then 6 on your keypad (do you have access to a keypad?), then release the <ALT> key. Voila, you should now have a "."
  12. GF's best friend is a chiropractor & she goes regularly. I've made 2 impromptu stops there. 1st time, I had bruised ribs - very painful. I went there the day after I did it (I dove & landed funny playing vball) & the improvement was REMARKABLE. Upon walking out of her office, I could do everything "normal" w/ minimal discomfort whereas prior my movement was greatly restricted & I was unable to breath deeply. Over the next few hrs, the improvement regressed somewhat. Whether or not, it sped up the healing process, I can't say. I would doubt it. 2nd time, I'd say it was of little to no benefit. I've developed like tendonitus (sp?) in my (non-dominant) elbow. It was particularly bad the day we went there, but it, again, it really didn't do much. Depending on your ailment, I'm of the opinion that it may well be quite beneficial. Given your aversion to more "mainstream" methods, I'd recommend that you give it a try.
  13. You're thinking about it from an East Coast perspective. What about the people on the Left Coast? Think all the wives are gonna let their husbands do absolutely nothing on a Saturday?
  14. I know the answer, but that would mean I'd have to come up w/ another quote. Great movie, BTW.
  15. I attended UB in the 80s, so I don't know how relevant my opinion would still be, but I'd STRONGLY discourage you from transferring. The ramifications of these few yrs spent in school will have long term repercussions on your career & perhaps other aspects of your life. I took at couple of classes at smaller colleges & the experience & what one got out of it was just SO superior. FWIW, there was a time I considered making a (small) scholarship for people transferring from large universities to smaller schools. Again, my opinion may well be outdated & I don't know you or your situation, just providing you w/ a certain perspective. For me, attending a large school overall was a mistake. Good luck whatever you choose.
  16. Paraphrasing: It's far more important to work smart than to work hard. My boss at my 1st "real" job.
  17. The main reason I don't have a gun is that if I did, I'd play w/ it. Guns are not something that you should "play" w/. That said, although it certainly would be a necessity for TEOTWAWKI, fortunately for me as for most of us, it's something that we likely would never need or use and considering that in some circumstances, merely possessing one could easily escalate a bad situation to worse, I'd say if you haven't "needed" one yet, I'd consider other options (moving, self-defense classes, etc) 1st.
  18. Ahhh, isn't that a 2 stroke penalty for grounding your club in a hazard?
  19. Sean Connery in Untouchables?
  20. I thought I read somewhere 830 meters which, off the top of my head, is roughly 910 yds. How that's measured, I have no idea considering it's a 1400 ft drop.
  21. That'd be correct Joe.
  22. "Think big, think positive. Never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat." The rest of the quote would easily give it away.
  23. So the GF asks me, "do these jeans make my ass look fat?" After thinking for a moment, I respond - "No, I don't think it's the jeans." j/k, that didn't really happen.
  24. I assume the question posed implies you're trying to make the most dominant defense possible and what position is most critical for doing so. If you're talking man among boys dominant, I'd say DT. If you can't block a DT/NT, you're not gonna be able to pass or run much as an offense. If the scenario is more realistic, I think DE or maybe LB. They're in position to make plays in both the run & pass games. Being a great defense is all about making plays.
