    OT: cars you've owned

    Damn, I forgot about my mid-90's Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, fully-loaded, and that supercharger was fun! That should have been included as a contender in #2. The nod still goes to my '72 Cutlass, though. I'd still have her today if my sister hadn't "borrowed" my beautiful baby, gone out...

    OT: cars you've owned

    Don't have pics of my specific cars, but added some that look almost identical. 1.1980 Chevy Monza 2. Close call between 1972 Cutlass S, 1982 Mercedes 280SE and a 1983, I believe, Alfa Romeo Spider ragtop. If I could pick one to get back today it would be the '72 Cutlass S. Loved that car...

    I’ve got a bad feeling about this….

    Well, if something does go wrong, God forbid, I'm sure the Democrats and their 38% of the country will blame Trump for it. 🤪

    Performance Comparison College Level: The average speed for Division 1 college softball pitchers is approximately 63 mph, making this a standard high-performance speed at that level. Reaction Time: At 63 mph from a 43-foot distance, the ball reaches the plate in roughly 0.35 to 0.40 seconds...

    .0182 vs .0136 seconds. That's the amount of time the ball is in that 2' hitting zone you mention if you factor 75 mph vs 100. This, of course assumes constant speed, which isn't gonna be accurate, but close enough. That's .0046 seconds difference, or 4.6 milliseconds. .4 seconds or 400...

    1. I was a coach once at the high school and club level. 2. I just like being thorough, recognizing people can read or ignore at their pleasure. And when making a case, it's not always best to be succinct. 3. I like to debate and love to research...not so much talk. I chat far more than I...

    Team USA might not even make it out of Pool Play now.

    Curious to know how they compare to Norway, another sports-crazed country that wins beyond what one would expect.

    Beat me to it. Also, it's harder to hit a softball for distance than a baseball. Sure, it's harder to actually hit a baseball, but it's still harder to get comparable distances. If you hit a softball and baseball in the sweet spot with the same swing, force, etc., the baseball will go a lot...

    Haven't seen it mentioned but looks like DJT took out the Ayatollah of Rockn'Rolla........

    Uh...we did and then we saw from satellite images they were back at the site trying to either rebuild, or find what they could to help build at another location. aybe Stop watching MSNBC if you don't want to be lied to. But then, maybe you do. Most Cali libs I know prefer obvious lies over any...

    Haven't seen it mentioned but looks like DJT took out the Ayatollah of Rockn'Rolla........

    I was out in Berkeley today, sitting next to a sidewalk reading the news when an older woman stopped and asked if I was reading the news? I asked, do you mean regarding the military strike on the Ayatollah and his government? She said, "yes...isn't it horrible?" I replied, "No, I think it's...

    OT: most influential country artist ever

    Looks like a shorted good ole Ray on his accomplishments and contributions to Country music. Here's what AI turned up: Yes, Ray Price was a pivotal pioneer in country music, renowned for transforming the genre's sound in the 1950s by introducing a 4/4 "shuffle" beat, adding drums to his band...

    OT: most influential country artist ever

    Here's one more song that's probably my favorite of his, though it's a little different from the first ones I listed. It's a good example of just how good his control over his vocal range really was. You have to watch to the end. ETA - This is another that showcases his range and control:

    OT: most influential country artist ever

    Have to consider Ray Price. He changed Country music from the early Honky Tonk, mostly by being willing to do things nobody else was doing, including the "walking bass-line" with a 4/4 beat, and having 2 fiddles that he brought to the front, making them far more prominent than before when they...
