    My stay at the north rim cabins is one of my favorite national park experiences. So peaceful and quiet, especially compared to the south rim zoo.

    Agreed.  The wife and I camped at the north rim 28 years ago.  The experience was wonderful and the lodge was amazing.

    Interestingly, one of the park rangers noted that there was little to no preventive controlled burns and that the whole place would be wiped out with a real wildfire.

    does anyone understand how the fuck calves work and why are they constantly in pain right now?    fuck.

    I take magnesium glycinate at night to help with calf cramps while sleeping.

    Understanding fuck calves is probably more apropos for TexAgs.

    Agreed that Jonas and Tadej look closer than ever, minus that TT performance. 

    The stage prior, Tadej made an attack and Jonas responded.  After the race, Jonas noted that he had his best ever one-minute performance and that he is more explosive now.  Just wondering if that new explosiveness comes the cost of his ability to recover.  Something kept him from putting in the TT that was expected. 

  5. Interesting starting lineup with Uzuni and Rubio up top.  I suspect Rubio will be in an attacking mid role as opposed to dual strikers.

    ¡Listos!

    This is going to be Uzuni's breakout match.

    It's literally bbq. It is just mixed in with the most delicious rice in the world. 

    Tomato, طـَما َطـِم

    I make brisket fried rice but don't consider it barbecue.  It's fried rice with smoked meat.

    I wouldn't be surprised if BV9 is out with a torn MCL.

    Wishful thinking.  BV9 out with season-ending torn ACL.

    If Uzuni doesn't step up in the striker position, Austin is screwed.

  8. I'm ready to see the Taylor - Uzuni - Bukari front lineup.  Taylor showed some impressive skills off the bench last night.

  9. Austin wins with six goals from the penalty spot and zero from open play. 

    I wouldn't be surprised if BV9 is out with a torn MCL.

    Yes because Peacock sucks. There’s also that nice ‘processing’ delay after the race has concluded before you can watch the replay (15 min or more). I’ve also had the issue where I’m watching it delayed, hit pause for a break and come back to have the telecast ended forcing me to wait for them to re-post it. 
     

    The TNT/Max coverage is just so much better, and not just because of my crush on Orla. Better analysis in the studio and on the bike, the ability to ‘watch from start’ with stage in progress, a preview box as you fast forward.
     

    God I hate Peacock. The only positive is VdV on the bike. Worthless nothing input from Perino, dull and basic ‘analysis’ in the studio. 

    Agreed on peacock.  Back in the day, you could fast forward and see the race progressing, stop when something interesting happened like an attack or a crash, and watch the km counter until it reached 10k or so.  

  12. Since grilling was out on Friday, I decided we'd have a Jaws themed evening.  I picked up some Cape Cod kettle chips and made lobster rolls.  We watched Jaws, Jaws 2, and Jaws 3 (which absolutely sucked compared to the first two).

    I don't think it's actually difficult for them, they just have a tough time internalizing that "more likely than not" is adequate proof or evidence for anything serious.

    On the other hand, I think a lot of people have trouble internalizing what "beyond a reasonable doubt" coupled with the presumption of innocence means in a criminal matter.

    And I've been practicing law for 30 plus years and am not wholly sure what "clear and convincing evidence" is 

    That's what I was alluding to.  Clear and convincing is a pain in the ass to explain to a jury.

    I've only struck pilots on cases involving planes, but I assume the reasoning behind striking pilots is similar to engineers.

    Oh agreed, but as long as we're generalizing... engineers tend to be pretty well thought of on the IQ scale. They also tend to have pretty strict ideas on "proof."

    Just guessing from your list, you work on the prosecution side, right?

    Generally, engineers only see things in black and white.  On the civil side, preponderance of the evidence can be a difficult concept for engineers.

    I can’t think of many things more heartbreaking than dads wandering through rubble looking for their precious daughters that they know are dead.  

    I've teared up several times today thinking about all of this.  It's heartbreaking.
