[quote]I’m pretty sure that with a ship of that size, the rudders need the propellers wash to maintain steerage.
This isn’t a sailing vessel where the rudder really extends far from the profile of the hull vertically[/quote]
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.. I would think a container ship thi...

[quote]That is every single player I could find that ran at both the last 15 years[/quote]
I’m well aware. I’m simply pointing out that the players who run at both are more likely to be players who know they can improve on their combine time, which will skew the data.
I should have said “samplin...

[quote]“Guys not happy with their time” is code for slow
Of course most of the ones satisfied don’t run again.[/quote]
It’s a bit of a moot point because, as people have noted, there’s a brand new surface at the combine (so results 15 years ago are irrelevant today).
That being said.. you thi...

[quote]Specifically how much faster is LSU? Like give us a number on Malik in Indy and back it up with data…[/quote]
I just checked combine vs. LSU pro day numbers over the past couple of years and it appears most guys who have run at both have indeed been a hair faster at LSU.
That said, I thi...

[quote][i]Maason Smith is a DT prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.40 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 98 out of 1620 DT from 1987 to 2024.[/i]

[quote]Thanks for this. This clears up another question I had. Considering how devastating these “orbit” issues are how do any of them survive to start over? Or is that a big spoiler reveal?[/quote]

[quote]What exactly is the issue they are facing? Is the chaotic gravity going to eventually rip their planet apart?[/quote]
So the issue is that their planet’s “orbit” (if you can really call it that) around the 3-star system is chaotic. The stars are moving chaotically relative to each other, wh...

[quote]Wouldn’t it be gaining speed after each explosion and covering more distance exponentially? The last 50 or so detonations would be much further apart if we are figuring 10 seconds in between detonations. Or the detonations if kept at the same distance apart would begin to be close to simult...

[quote]1. The nano-fiber sail ship. It needed a thousand nuclear detonations to reach 1% light speed correct? How would they have placed let’s say the last 200 or so warheads so far out so quick? At that point where the sail ship would be and how fast it was moving would have taken normal propulsi...

I actually liked the old HBO Max app OK (maybe I was in the minority) but the new Max just has way too much bullshite that I have no interest in watching. So if I’m bored and just looking for something to watch, I don’t even bother with Max.

Yeah I’ve done the same thing with Paramount+. I think it’s like $1/month more as a Prime subscription than getting it direct but it’s worth it to me just to reduce the number of separate apps. ...

[quote]but does NOLA really need 4 of them?[/quote]
It’s a little hard to tell, but I [i]think[/i] what you’re seeing on that map is:
- One on Garyville (refinery)
- One on Norco (refineries)
- One on Chalmette (refineries)
- One on Belle Chasse (naval air station)
Remember, the 2,000 warhea...

[quote]NOLA I don't believe is a target[/quote]
There are nearly a million barrels per day of refining capacity in the NOLA area (from Norco to Chalmette) plus the port and the ability to shut down the nation’s most important waterway.
NOLA itself probably isn’t much of a target but you’d be clo...
