Gotta go with Stubb's for bottled sauce.

Target field at Bud Light Stadium?

Yes its grindy button mashing. I said earlier that I was playing with a friend group that Ive been playing games with for years and no lie this is the first game where one of us just said "meh, fug it this is boring..." and quit. Its a very fitting continuation of the franchise but its pretty repetitive. Top that off with the community is getting kind of toxic between the try-hards that are bitching about end game poo two weeks after launch and the dirty casuals (like me) who are bitching about the bitching (like now).

Holy poo! That "Im like that..." at the end.

Im playing and having a good time with friends. Most of us are pretty casual and have played less than 30 hours. We play a couple nights a week for a few hours at a time so we are not in any hurry to get through it. So far we are digging it

The Drake Equation The Drake equation is: N = R ∗ ⋅ f p ⋅ n e ⋅ f l ⋅ f i ⋅ f c ⋅ L where N = the number of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy with which communication might be possible (i.e. which are on the current past light cone); and R∗ = the average rate of star formation in our Galaxy fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets fl = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point fi = the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations) fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation

Zero belongs on a mascot jersey not someone on the field.

The entire Drake equation approach is fun but it was never meant to be a predictor of ETI but rather a thought experiment. Its all probabilistic conjecture. Take a bunch of variable that you cant know the actual value of but that feel right and come to a conclusion. Carl Sagan used to love throwing it out in a way that left us tingling with awe and wonder (and it did) but its not for serious estimating. This guy has a great write up on the Fermi Paradox https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/fermi-paradox.html Its a few years old at this point but on a topic such as this I dont think that matters much. In my more dower and pessimistic moods these days I imagine the Great Filter is that life rarely develops much past where we are and ether destroys itself by exploiting its planet until its unlivable or through its machines of war. Sound familiar?

He would have said something to the effect of - the Bible doesn't include cars either but there one sits... And maybe he isn't the sort of Christian that your question was aimed at as while he was firm in his belief of his salvation through Christ and believed that things like drinking and dancing were the road to Perdition all the while not being particularly dogmatic. On top of that I'm a poor proxy as I don't share his beliefs can only speak from the many hours we spent discussing these same questions. He was quite a bit more open minded to those things that were not explicitly spelled out in the bible than your run of the mill conservative evangelical.

My FIL was a very devout Southern Baptist. Son of a preacher, leader in his church, no dancing or drink and our (his daughter and my) wedding, church 2 days a week at minimum kind of guy. He believed in ETL and was even open to the ideas that some ancient "unexplainable" (think pyramids, Nazca lines, et al) were attributable to their visits. When questioned he would tell you that the Bible doesn't exclude it.

I wholeheartedly believe there is more life out there. Some places its just algae, others are vast civilizations of it space faring beings. I also wholeheartedly believe we will will have destroyed ourselves long before the visit our little sun.

It was surprisingly good. Went in expecting something to fill an evening and walked away entertained and suggesting it to others.

If playing music in your vehicle at 80db is loud enough to overcome engine and traffic noise then what value (besides being a dick) is there in running it up to 130db?

Always remember and never forget... correlation does not imply causality

Didnt want to be the one responsible for getting this tossed to the TB so thanks for saying that in a more level headed way than I would have@rayzor

I firmly believe it is some form of perceived display of dominance. Rolling coal, thunderously loud motorcycles, huge pick-up trucks that serve no practical purpose in your life, passive aggressive political stickers, truck nuts, unignorable loud music. All tiny penis moves

Great(ist?) football player. Even greater human being. His run ins with the law dont undo the mountains of good he did in this world

If it was fair catches inside the 5 it would make sense, but letting them fair catch at the 18 and giving them 7 yards is stupid. Inside the 5 is like conceding its going to bounce into the endzone and is "protecting the possession"

If you're the sort to be moved by memorials to fallen soldiers I hear the The American Memorial Chapel at St Paul's is a pretty powerful and humbling visit. Dedicated to the 20k American soldiers that died on British soil during WWII. Its one thing to see our own memorials to our fallen, its quite a different thing when another nation recognizes them.

Not quite as old as LGs long gun but its the oldest one I own. S&W .32 Long CTG - based on the serial number from the early to mid 1920s. Still fires like a champ but those .32 rounds are dirty as hell and your knuckles get pretty nasty after a couple of reloads. Was my wife's grandfathers gun and he carried it regularly. He was a Baptist Minister 'down east"

Tampa - Its personal and not an actual rivalry. I just hate 'em and it always make my day just a touch brighter when they lose. Saints - These wins mean the most to me these days. Falcons - They could be in another division for how little I ever think of them.

Yes the ghost gun situation is a different beast for a different conversation. Im on board with fixed 5 round magazines. Im also in agreement that most if not all weapons would need to have a grandfathering process where current owners would have to do some paperwork but in only the most egregious cases of criminal or mental history would they need to surrender them/offer them for "buy back" programs. Then with the type of strict enforcement that comes with NFA covered weapons and devices you work through weeding out those that didn't follow the law and get those weapons off the streets/out of gun safes. The upside to classifying the weapons as a Title II weapon classification is that with the proper paperwork and background checks (performed by ATF) you could still purchase the weapons and yes even inherit the weapon. Improperly documented weapons or individuals that cant/don't want to pass the vetting process during the disbursement of an estate would result in seizure of the weapon which is exactly going to happen (the latter - my kid has no desire to own it) with a weapon when I pass.

Im not disagreeing but I will say the devil is in the details. For assault rifles the lower receiver is considered by law the "gun". Its the part that is regulated and must have a serial number. Its the part that if you buy an 80% and finish it yourself or 3D print that makes your weapon a "ghost gun". One of its primary functions is of course the port for the detachable magazine along side of being the trigger housing and the central part most other parts attach to. If you mandate that all future lowers have a fixed magazine it veers off into the whole banning assault rifles which is what I was trying to get LG to understand earlier, as you are fundamentally changing the "gun" part of the weapon.

I think Id have to put Jenkins above Short. It may be time messing with my old brain but I remember games that he regularly seemed to be on the other side of the ball before the QB knew he had it. Dude was a monster.

Then try this math. The gate is a predetermined split between the home team and the visitors. The concessions and swag... That's straight into the owners pocket and its millions of dollars.
