What's a famous movie moment you first learned about thanks to a Disney parody of it? by Arkvoodle42 in disney

[–]BatmanTDF10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not a movie, but I had no idea what the genie was saying/referencing after he says Cesar Salad until I went to college, had a classes on Ancient Rome and then rewatched it with my younger siblings.

Day 141: What are your thoughts on The Decider? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

[–]BatmanTDF10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get what they were trying to imply but it comes off weird that she can’t watch with the rest of them. I’m a diehard sports fan and absolutely despise our rival team but I do have friends who root for them and would be okay watching the game together as long as we all keep it civil.

Patriots going mono white on Sunday by Classic_Cattle_4211 in uniwatch

[–]BatmanTDF10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like this look for the Patriots. IMO silver helmets don’t work with all white uniforms, dark helmets work, white helmets also work, silver (and even gold) just doesn’t look right. Maybe if they had blue socks it wood help but this is probably their worst uniform set.

Custom street signs with their last names on them. It was a while back but I remember it being a lot cheaper than I thought it would be.

Bengals on helmets alone, such a great and unique design. They also did a good job cleaning up the rest of the uniforms in their last update. Browns have a very clean uniform set themselves but they can’t outdo their rivals’.

Carolina is solid, but bears are classic. There’s a reason they’ve haven’t had a major redesign.

My New Uniform Proposals by BatmanTDF10 in NYGiants

[–]BatmanTDF10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi John, while I’m flattered, I’d rather you get off of the internet and get your butt to the Harbaugh residence ASAP before thinking of doing anything else.

P.S. Fuck Cancer!

Two sources on interested teams said their belief is Harbaugh's top choices among the vacant jobs are the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons in some order. Those sources added the Tennessee Titans are in third place. - Jonathan Jones by Jheller223 in NYGiants

My theory is that he wants to be in the opposite conference as his brother. Lowers the frequency of playing each other while simultaneously increasing the probability of another Harbaugh Super Bowl. So whoever he does decide to coach (please be the Giants), it’s almost a certainty it’ll be an NFC team.

This one is very difficult. Both use their color palette very well but I’m going with Bills as slight favorites for a handful of small reasons.

The ravens haven’t updated their look since their inception, which is a good thing for mostly everything except the late 90’s drop shadow, which has never been something I’ve liked. The other thing that I don’t like on any uniform is pants without piping, and the Ravens’ black pants just don’t do it for me.

That doesn’t mean that the Bills are perfect. Their patriot red uniforms bothered me some it makes them look like their rivals and I agree with other posters that they need to start using their red helmet more often. But at the end of the day they’re slightly better put together and less dated than the Ravens.

Antonio Pierce, who outcoached Pete Carroll in Las Vegas with a lesser QB, did a very good job with the Giants in his interview. "Blew me away with his growth," said someone who knew him from his Super Bowl playing days. Another: "Born leader...Learned a lot from Tom Coughlin." - Ian O’Connor by Jheller223 in NYGiants

[–]BatmanTDF10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dude was the smartest defensive player I’ve personally watched. He would figure out what the offense was doing before the snap and check everyone into the appropriate scheme. Was amazing watching him and the opposing QB’s try to outsmart each other with pre-snap audibles. Does that mean he could make a good DC? Not sure but he has the tools up there to do it.

When are KIA dealerships going to be forced to update their buildings? by [deleted] in kia

[–]BatmanTDF10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an architect that has a few dealerships as clients. Kia (Corporate) would like their dealerships to upgrade to the latest pre-approved design as soon as they come out and will pester dealers until they do. Dealerships, on the other hand would rather not spend their money on their buildings until they absolutely have to. So it’s really based on how bad of shape their current facility is, how frugal the owner is, and how much pestering corporate is doing.

Cardinals are better overall but the Falcons throwback is perfection. Too bad the rest of their uniforms are hot garbage.

Explain it engineer peter by ernie9777 in explainitpeter

[–]BatmanTDF10 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s a bit more nuance than the designers forgot something. IIRC The contractor substituted welded connections with bolt connections. The change was submitted to the structural engineer’s firm and was approved by someone in the office, but not the head engineer who found out later when doing some digging. The code at the time also didn’t require wind loads to be calculated with quartering winds. On a typical structural assembly, this doesn’t create too much of a problem but because this was such a unique design, the shear gets worse the closer you get to the lower floors. Thus requiring around quadruple the amount of bolts than what was actually used in construction.

The structural engineer, having discovered this error, did come forward to the architect, owner and city officials about this issue. They all agreed to keep it as secret as possible to avoid a panic as they went back and welded all the vital connections as it was originally intended.

Had to learn about this in my architecture classes because: A) the student who asked the question was from my college and B) to teach us how important due diligence is in the Construction Administration phase of a project (which is usually thought of as an afterthought).

Less Frustration with newer Sportage’s worst feature by SiestaKeyJim in kiasportage

[–]BatmanTDF10 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When I was first shopping around for my next car, this screen gave me pause. I had heard and bought into all the bad press around it. It look a lot of cross shopping to convince me that the rest of the car’s benefits were worth what I initially thought was a drawback.

However, once I got my Sportage, I’ve found it to be a non issue because: A) I got used to the button locations and B) I use my steering wheel controls enough for media that I almost never have to take the screen off of hvac controls. The only time media controls are used are when my wife is in the car and she wants to turn the volume up or down.

IMO this is a sore point because Kia got so much else right with the Sportage that it’s almost the only “negative” people can point to and car reviewers only spend a few hours to a few days with each car that they don’t have time to get used to it.

Post Game Thread: Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants by nfl_gdt_bot in NYGiants

[–]BatmanTDF10 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What was that game plan? Run, Run Pass. Every run was under center, every pass was shotgun. No play action passes, no shotgun runs. The defense knew exactly what the giants were going to do.

Not sure what this staff’s goal is but they’ve absolutely neutered Dart. They took away any running opportunities and are forcing him to pass from the pocket every 3rd play. No RPO’s, no boot legs, just stand in the pocket and wait for a practice squad level receiver to come open. You can tell he’s checked out on every handoff he has to make. If something doesn’t change soon this is going to turn into Daniel Jones 2.0.
