Year? The early stuff was OK, but not great. The newer stuff is a lot better. For instance, the computer doesn't just see the wheel locked up, it notices if one wheel is slowing down faster than the rest or if the wheels are slowing down faster than the car should be able to (i. e., it knows the car can't go from 60-0 in 1 second) and adjusts. I should look up some studies to see. Now, there are situations where ABS doesn't make sense. Gravel is one, where apparently the vehicle will stop better with a locked up tire as it will plow a small hill in front of the tire which has more friction to push than a rolling wheel. I could see the same thing applying to snow, although I'm more skeptical as to how often that happens.

Y'all are crazy if you don't like ABS. It's way better at minimum stopping distance than any person (other than a pro in controlled conditions).

Yep. That McD's was "cited" for serving the coffee too hot several times before that incident. They were serving it near boiling.

Yep, I used to eat like that too at that age. Enjoy it while it lasts. (Small beef and 10 wings is around 3 wings too many when I go to Bar Bill now)

I don't think traction control actually locks the wheels, at least not modern systems. I usually leave it on, although I barely notice it working either. That could be because I have a WRX with Sporty Winter Tires and a sense of how to drive. I'm not some FWD driver mashing on the gas figuring the car will go faster.

I love that these posts are consecutive, even if they're not talking about the same player.

Only Everywhere does is it go from X to Y in one day. Fill in as appropriate. :) (It's around 20 this morning with 20-25 mph winds, here)

I know I've seen faceoffs at center ice in that situation. "Soe-ry, we'll drop it centre, eh?"

Winner! @$2386 (I kid, I kid, $2385)

Why just one-on-one? I think he's OK in normal game action, although I don't know how much of that is sheer size. One on one it doesn't look like he's mobile enough (or at least doesn't react fast enough) to stop well-executed shots and dekes. I'm hoping a GT coach can get his positional play, that might help.

Heh, good point. Now I don't know what to do; especially as I'm not fond of Jack Daniels. This wasn't a well thought out plan.

Yep, I still see Jack at 80 proof (I'm going with that until it catches on, BTW). He's not skating down guys from behind to pick their pockets and blowing by guys like last year.

I are an ejineer. @$2285. 1 on Buffalo, +100.

100 Proof Jack probably, I'm not as sure with 80 Proof Jack..

Friends doesn't equal like-minded, but I get your point. In any case, shouting at the wind isn't worth the trouble.

Part of the draw here is talking with "friends" and really respectful discussion. I have no desire to go get into a flame war.

WTF kind of Viking are you?

... Zemgus. Grant. Eichel. Grant. Kane (shoots the puck a foot wide and high). Evander, That's not the drill we were doing.

Nice video, haven't seen that one before.

That's correct. If you look at the historical chart here, you'll see the big bump that then dives for the gutter in January. So yes, this team is on pace with a team that went on a miracle run at this point in time. http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/23748-charts-2015-16-edition/?hl=charts

I thought the new name was the Vegas Trademark Disputes. Pence.

Haha, yeah, I can see that. Same with the Doolittle Raid, if I even get comfortable enough with a Japanese person it'd be interesting to ask.

I read somewhere that guy in the latest link is 50 years old. Man, I hope I'm spry enough at 50 to be jumping off cars.

Isn't he played by Alec Baldwin in the lamentable "Pearl Harbor"? If you're trying to place the role, it's just before the point to movie probably should have ended and yet went on for another 45 minutes. Thirty Seconds over Tokyo (from what I just read) is much preferred by the surviving participants.. er... American participants. I'm not sure how the Japanese feel about either movie.

That doesn't stop most of us, don't be shy! Hahaha, nice.
