2024 Texas GameDay Stadium Experience Thread
The pre-installed seat back chairs got a major upgrade, that was nice. They didn't show the text captions of the announcer/referee comments well this time. The referee audio is often unintelligible, and I like seeing the player names in the commentary. I would have extra liked to read the names and countries of the Olympic medalists, I could barely understand that audio. Did they change the down markers on the field? I remember being able to read these, now they are these LED numbers that are so dim they are hard to see.

Tell me about Florida
My favorite Lake Alice fact, as a crocodilophile, is that if you search for news stories about people trying to have a picnic at Lake Alice, and then an alligator crawls out of the lake to steal their lunch, you have to keep track of the dates on the stories since this happens repeatedly and otherwise the different stories will run together.

Ah ok. I missed that part.

Notre Dame @ Texas A&M; Catholics vs Cultists
I did. With 0 completions/yards/tds, the formula gives a=-0.15, b=-0.75, c=0, d=2.375, then the overall rating is (-0.15 - 0.75 + 0 + 2.375) / 6 * 100 = 24.583.

Notre Dame @ Texas A&M; Catholics vs Cultists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passer_rating For 0/30 you get a rating of 1.475/6 * 100% = 24.583, using the NFL formula.

I've decided to dig a hole
But this implies that the hole is completed. I am pretty sure this can never be so.

Trivia/History thread
On both sides of the same at-bat even! When the game was suspended, Jansen was at bat for Toronto. When the game resumed, Jansen was the catcher for the Red Sox, with Varsho pinch-hitting for Jansen.

Epstein and Maxwell
Do you happen to know the line number/construction number/delivery registration of that 727? I have a book that lists these for all the 727's made. I.e. the first TWA 727 was line number 36 (the 36th built), construction number 18569, and registration N850TW, first flight 25 Mar 1964. I probably don't actually want to know the answers though, as I am very fond of the 727, and don't need reasons to find them creepy.

[Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
The first circulating coin of the US was the 'Fugio cent', partially designed by Ben Franklin. It includes the motto 'Mind Your Business'.

Can't Figure This Out
No. They would both displace exactly the same volume of water, the volume of the objects. If the object is FLOATING, then the weight of the water displaced will equal the weight of the object. So if your two identical objects have a density small enough to float, then the denser one will displace more water (and float lower) than the less dense one.

Vice President tells NASA to get to the Moon in 5 years.
I suspect that NASA is really desperate for some alternative to Elon Musk and they really really wanted another option, and so Starliner got as much rope as possible. But Boeing.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
KA-ma-la which I might write 'Comma-la' like above. Emphasis on the first syllable. My first guess was ka-MA-la but that is not correct.

Surly official camping and backpacking thread
There is an alternate back way to Bumpass Hell that is open even when the main trail is closed. Park at Kings Creek Picnic Area, and first hike 1 mile (easy) to Cold Boiling Lake. Then on the other side of the lake, head left and uphill for 2 miles (not as easy) to the back side of Bumpass Hell and the boardwalk. I was just at Lassen NP a week and a half ago, and the main trail to Bumpass was indeed closed, but this back way was open, okay by the rangers, and fine. There were a couple of snow patches but the trail was fine. This way is presumably harder than the normal trail, but is nothing crazy.

Kentucky Bourbon Tour
As far as Mammoth Cave NP goes: I liked the River Styx tour the best of the ones that I did. It had an interesting variety of terrain and things, including some slightly squeezy passages. After doing that tour, I hiked down the River Styx Spring trail (this is above ground), which goes down to where the underground River Styx comes out, then hiked up another trail, the Green River Bluffs trail. I thought these made a cool combination of stuff. The day before I had done the Grand Avenue Tour. This was one of the longest tours through the cave system, but most of this was not all that interesting. (There are not many formations inside the dry cave.) The best part of it was the Frozen Niagara room, at the very end of this tour, which had by far the best cave formations. I think that you can see this one room from a much shorter tour than the Grand Avenue.

I never actually heard that there is a recording that you or I can actually hear, only that one 'exists'. If it doesn't actually get played to the world, that is not going to amount to anything.

You are an asshole, so I have you on ignore, but I made a special effort to read this post so I could quote it so you can enjoy the thread title in your notifications.

Straight out of central casting. It is a seriously strong list though. As much as I love Ricky he is no better than #5 on that list, Earl, Nolan, Hakeem, and Walter all have to be ahead. Herschel is in last place on that list for being a dipshit but that still isn't a bad last place.
