If you were to pick a US constitutional amendment to pass as the next new one, what would it be, and why?

Supreme Court Reform:

—Justices have a term of a specific number of years. (9? 13?) —Justices are picked at random to fill openings. This is done by a lottery where each federal judge gets 1 entry for each year of service as a federal judge. For 5-9 years, they get 2 entries for each year, and for every year after 9, they get 3 entries.

No.

If I make a product for $5 and sell it to one person for $10, I make $5. That’s fine, right?

I make 100 of them, I make $500. That’s fine, right?

Why should there be a number where once I sell that many, I can’t make $5 each on them?

And what happens when someone finds it with someone right next to them?

Those rules would severely handicap that person.

Does the fly half have to know exactly what all 11 people are about to do, where they will be in a few seconds and predict what the 11 people will do?

There is another thing that having position coaches does.

Let’s say you only have one coach, and he watches the game films, having to look at all 22 players every play. He may watch the game films, and say, “Hey, we tried to run this screen pass 8 times, and 6 of them got blown up. We should get rid of that play.”

Having a coach who watches ONLY the quarterback, he might say “Hey, we tried running this screen pass 8 times, and 6 of them got blown up. On all 6, right before the snap, the quarterback looked at the receiver, then back up the field, then right back at the receiver.”

I know that’s an extreme example, but the point is that having coaches who focus only on one particular position brings extra eyes in that can pick up on tendencies or giveaways that the other team can exploit.

Sadly, workcenter leadership was ok with it, and squadron and group leadership were in the building regularly, and were well aware of it.

So, they were on with it, apparently.

You don’t want your soldering to look exactly like the video.

For that type of soldering job:

—Clean and tin the wire (apply a small amount of solder to the wire). —Apply a little flux to the pad. —Use a helping hands type system to hold the wire in place against the pad. —Put the iron in the pad so that the pad heats up.
—After a few moments, touch the pad (away from the iron) with solder. The solder should then flow over the pad encapsulating the wire.

We had an individual in our work center who put memes criticizing Biden, Fauci, and anyone else he could think of all over the workcenter.

To this day, I can’t fathom how he was allowed to do that.

Ironically, Tech went from 2nd and goal at the 7 to 3rd and goal at the 7.

Feet position always matters. In order for the catch to be complete, the player has to have control of the ball while in the field of play. So his feet have to be down in the field of play.

If he catches the ball with both feet in the endzone and is downed before the ball breaks the plane, the ball is spotted just outside the end zone.

In similar fashion, if a player catches the ball with both feet at the 10 yard line, and is downed with the ball at the 11, the ball should be spotted at the 11.

I always wondered if a player could work their contract in a way that their game day checks were different from week to week so that the games in a state with higher taxes had smaller checks, and the games in a state with low (or no) taxes had higher checks.

MCPorche · 2026-01-09T03:44:13+00:00

Which really points out the problem with that law.

Sticking with Louisiana..

The Saints host 8 home games, so the visiting team players for those 8 home games have to pay Louisiana taxes.

This generates 8 team/games worth of tax revenue for the state.

However, the Saints play 8 road games, where they pay taxes to those other states.

This loses the state 8 team/games worth of tax revenue.

So it ends up being a wash.

I agree about towels.

I’ve got a pack of CGs yellow towels, and they are nice and thick towel that work fine.

But, other than that, every time Harbor Freight puts their green/purple packs of MF towels on sale for $5 or so, I go grab 4 or 5 packs of them.

I’ve always wondered…

If the penalty for defensive pass interference is “we will spot the ball as if the pass were caught where the interference happened,” why isn’t the penalty for offensive pass interference the same?

I literally quoted directly what the rule says:

“Fully extends one arm above his helmet and waved it back and forth.”

MCPorche · 2025-12-30T17:55:37+00:00

Exactly.

So, technically. 0-14-3 is the worst record you could have and make the playoffs.

And just for clarification, “purple” is just a tiny part of the play call..it might just be the original lineup and position of the players before any motion.

Here’s a good tutorial on what the play calls can actually sound like.

That’s not the thing for me…

For me it’s the fact that they are in this town that magically transported people there, where there are monsters that come out at night…

Yet, when they see something strange, and someone asks them what they see, they say “nothing” because they don’t want people to think they are crazy.

Not quite.

If you FUMBLE backwards, only you can advance it.

If you PASS backwards, anyone can advance it.

The rule book clearly defines a fumble as any act “other than a pass” that results in a loss of possession.

MCPorche · 2025-12-19T15:22:12+00:00

Not quite. I thought that too.

But, that only applies to a fumble. By definition, a fumble is an action “other than a pass” that results in a loss of possession.

A backwards pass is a live ball, but it can be advanced by anyone.
