It's 3750 miles by air to Madrid with a six hour time difference. It's 2125 to Seattle with a three hour time difference. Additionally, because of the rules of the North Atlantic Track System, there are time restrictions to be followed when going east and when coming back. If not in those time slots, a longer route must be flown, or non optimum altitudes used, require more time. Of course they fly charters, but Madrid is more of an issue than London.

There are lots of people who want to make money off of this kind of stuff. The "ex UFO investigator ," Luis Elizondo, is certainly one of them. Not a believer.

Because stock is ownership. If you issue more stock, you dilute the value of existing shares, thus reducing their value. Stock issuance dilutes value, stock buybacks enhance it.

Hard Knox: Dawson Knox Watch

It's run after catch, not run before catch. -
Vinyl bird netting is incredibly cheap. I have over a quarter mile of it in my vineyard. You can protect those peas and beans for less than $20.

What was the most impressive drive of the 2020 Season?
sherpa replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd go with the late drive against Arizona. Great thread, by the way. -
It isn't "blood."

Tough to say. The slat damage can be repaired, but the wing spars, the spanwise structural components that run perpendicular to the fuselage will be X-rayed to assess non visible damage. If you hit something and you're not on the yellow line you're screwed. If you hit something and you're on the yellow line, you're screwed. But if you hit something, get on the yellow line. They were on the yellow line. Can't see the wing tip from the cockpit. The 777, a much bigger airplane, has cameras mounted on the horizontal stabilizer that you could display and see the nose and main landing gear because of the difficulty of taxiing. We weren't supposed to view it in flight, but I always did. It showed the immediate contrail formation behind the engines at cruise.

Is there another hurdle JA needs to hop over?
sherpa replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Knock off the wacky huge loss sacks and fumbles. Put the ball in the receivers hands where they don't have to break stride, reach too far, and otherwise disrupt their ability to run after catch. Thankfully, he seems to know that, as has mentioned it as an offseason goal, but it is an accuracy thing. That's one of the things about Brady. He puts it right on the numbers in the receiver's stride. Josh doesn't, but he usually gets it there. Weird thing, he usually nails the sideline routes like nobody I've seen. -
I heard an interview with Thomas last year or so about that song. He said that in order to get the nod to do it, Bacharach and David told him to sing it without any "styling" input. Just do the song, or we'll get somebody else.

Mystery Surrounds Upcoming Pentagon Report on UFOs
sherpa replied to Nextmanup's topic in Off the Wall
Not to weaken the astrophysicist's argument, but the Russians and Chinese already know a great deal about our F-18's radar and FLIR systems. They shadow aircraft carriers and have been for decades. It would far more valuable an intel "get" to find out they were operating drones off the SOCAL coast. -
You're my aunt! Finally, after all these years, I found you.

I have a slightly different opinion. The Bills offense benefits immensely from two components, and it explains a lot of long third down conversions which we've we've all seen and enjoyed, especially since the Thanksgiving Dallas game. First component is Allen getting out of the pocket and buying time towards the sideline. Second is the receivers recognizing the scramble drill and getting open when the initial timing of the play is disrupted. I think the Bills are extremely good at the scramble drill passing offense, and especially Diggs and Beasley. Josh gets them the ball because he has the ability to throw from many arm angles, even if his balls aren't super accurate. So far, works for us.

Getting a new grill— thinking about a Kamado
sherpa replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in Off the Wall
I should have mentioned, if you need to replace that part, its a fabric gasket. Ten minute job to replace. Pull the old gasket off, use a chisel/knife/ blade of whatever sort to get the adhesive off, and put the new one on. Let it sit for a day and your back in grilling business. -

Not sure about other brands, but I replace the seal on my Primo about every three years. Regular low and slow meals don't cause any wear and tear, but pizza and other things I do at about 500 degrees do. Easy and cheap to find on Amazon or on any user forum for the particular brand. -
My response is, I really wish I wasn't behind that guy.
