  1. How do you say the FAC isn't a priority without saying the FAC isn't a priority.
  2. Offside and he hit a yellow for celebrating.

    Pele - RIP

    Did the article talk about the thoughts on the space time continuum and how that might have enabled him tot o,e travel to be alive in the 65 year time frame you bolded in the post you quoted?
  4. We all, well most of of, do things over and above what we're obligated to do. There is no law about waiting in line to get in a movie theater or sporting event, yet nearly all of us respect that. When leaving a crowded parking lot, we are not obligated to let one person from each converging lane but almost all of us do. There are plenty of examples like this where we observe fair play, but when we get on the road, many of us leave those back. We determine what the appropriate speed is to pass or how to get someone to get over. Not every situation is the same, but if someone is trying to go faster than you, the best course of action just might be for YOU to slow down, get over and then pass.
  5. Don't disagree and am not advocating for, or dismissing tailgating as a a valid thing to do. I think avoiding it can be best though. If I'm driving 70 and passing someone doing 65 and I see an emergency vehicle (cop/ambulance) coming behind fast, I'm either speeding up to complete the pass quickly to get out of the way, or slowing to 65 and moving over then. I certainly wouldn't wait until I'm ready to get over, and would be breaking the law if I did so. All I'm saying is that in many circumstances, I can apply the same logic even if I think the guy is a jerk and driving too fast.
  6. I think you're kinda proving my point. You said what YOU'RE going to do seven times in that short response, because you feel you're right. Experience tells me everyone thinks they're right when it comes to driving. To @956 Worldwide point, getting you and your vehicle to the destination safely should be your priority. Sometimes letting a faster, perhaps unsafe driver go ahead is the safest bet for you, opposed to enforcing your what you think a safe speed is on the other guy. Better for everyone imo. In your example, you say you're going 5mph over the speed limit, but later sat you're "following the rules". Well technically you're not, you are speeding, just not as fast as the other guy. Just using your example an numbers, it is entirely possible for you to slow down slightly to 65, merging over, letting the 80 mph guy go through, and then move back over.
  7. Breakneck speed is a relative term imo. Speaking a little in general. Without seeing what the rest of the traffic pattern is, how many cars, average speed, etc. it's almost impossible for me to say one or the other is at fault or who should slow down. For some 70 in a 65 is breakneck and for others it's higher.
  8. I remember my sister in law telling me when she had to take a driving course to drive in Germany that they taught people to think of everyone as ~"driving partners" oppose to other drivers. Everyone is driving somewhere different at different speeds with different priorities. No need to dictate how fast anyone else should drive or have to drive but if you can be aware of what others are trying to do and everyone tries to help facilitate that, everyone is better off. Hard to replicate the situation you're referring to, but clearly were driving slower than the other guy. If you took a second to slow down, move over let him pass and then resume your passing, maybe that would have been better? Too many variables to account for in a message board past and it's very possible/probable that the other guys was totally in the wrong but there is a possibility you contributed as well.
  9. Funny they show them trying to guard him and then Mo with the great oil back and nice finish. Darwin has the knack for getting open. Just a little bit of work and he’ll blow up.
  10. Great challenge from Trent in the box after his tremendous ball to Robertson earlier leading to the score.
  11. yeah, even I can't come up with a good thing to say about that one.
  12. Agree Braum's is still top notch imo for store bought egg nog. A couple more to review: Sprouts - seemed to be not a crazy amount, I think ~$4.99. Good flavor but incredibly thick pouring out. It almost globbed out of the bottle but weidly didn't taste that thick. Flavor was good, but maybe a little on the spicy instead of sweet side. Promised Land - $3.49 for 28 oz. and a solid competitor to Braum's, thick but smooth. Good flavor, certainly with a trip to Target(not sure where else it's being carried. Haven't seen it at Kroger.
  13. OK, taking a little different direction but staying on topic. A few days in and I've tried three different (store bought) brands. Got two at Kroger, their Private Selection and Volleman's (fancy glass bottle you have to return). Private Selection - it's not worth the money if it is any more than other types. It's very thin, under spiced and sweet. It's not bad, simply nothing there to recommend. I make mrs. pied's coffee with egg nog during the season and this is what it's good for. Volleman's - was excited to try this one. I think this dairy is out of Tyler and they do a good job with the packaging. Not sure exactly how to return the bottles, but won't be buying this one again. Good thickness, but it's just sweet~ egg nog milk. Better than the Private Selection, but nothing to make you want and get more. Braum's - turned on to this last year and had low expectations, but think this is a very above average egg nog. Good thickness and spice. This will be my go to for a long time.
  14. Yeah, a couple weeks too long. Like most seasons I'm half paying attention and may have missed something but seems like Victoria may hold the title for biggest 180 to villain ever on the show. She seemed pretty normal from what I can recall and then shows up with a new dude and tattoo and just went to get a drink in Rome. I hadn't heard anything about it and it was wild.
