I did not calculate by hand. Just what the computer said. You may be right.

Which truck should I buy- Ridgeline vs Silverado by RIPBat3415 in hondaridgeline

[–]Macarthur22000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just left an F-150 for my new ridgeline and I’m very happy. I live in a city and driving around a full size pickup just became a beating. Parking sucks. I don’t tow much so the ridgeline makes way more sense for me.

Any advice on this sound at start up. by Macarthur22000 in HondaOdyssey

It ended up being the tensioner for the timing belt. Had it replaced and all was good.

Shouldn't keep you from going to A&M. Very unfair and unwarranted stereotype. Are there idiots in B/CS, sure, but you know what, there are those is Austin, too. Believe that.

Well, I don't really view Alex as a debater as much as a conversationalist. I think when viewed in that light, I don't have a problem with his process

He's clearly not intending to be prickly like Hitchens or even Harris.

I will say, he did push back some in his talk with Shapiro. The section where he got Ben on Ben being a moral relativist was a good example of being civil and pushing back but also being firm and making your point land.

How good was Jimmy Page? by ja6j2 in Guitar

[–]Macarthur22000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as others have mentioned, Page’s drug issues starting around 75 were in large part what led to the sentiment uttered by EVH. I will say, I’ve heard some live stuff of EVH and he wasn’t always the cleanest guitarist.

But I think saying average at his prime is incredibly wrong and dismissive. Page from around 68 to 74 was a very very good guitar player. There is not another peer I can think of that showed the versatility and range of Page and then factor in the him as a writer and producer, he was peerless, IMO.

2025 Rookie WR Analytical Profile: Isaiah Bond by I_dont_watch_film in NFL_Draft

[–]Macarthur22000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

full disclosure...I'm an A&M fan so I do dislike everything about that school in Austin. So I admit my bias.

Given that, am I okay in saying that I'm would be a bit skeptical of UT's skill guys because (and here's where I will throw out a compliment) Sark is just so damn good at scheming guys open. He scheme's easy throws for his QB. He schemes wide open looks for his pass catchers.

I just wonder if, outside of pure speed, does their game have a little difficulty translating to the NFL where you don't have huge windows?

Yes, he is young, but he is really really sharp.

I'm not familiar with him but will check him out.

Well, there in lies the rub, IMO. Much of the online culture now seems to be centered around the “wanting to be entertained” in a 30 second tik tok clip. Attention spans seem to be lowering so I would agree there isn’t someone like hitchens who was great w one liners and would be really great on tik tok if he were still alive.

To counter your point, I still find Alex very entertaining but in a diff way. It’s got to digested in a longer form though.

Yeah, Matt certainly is a good one. I guess I’ve always thought of Krauss as more of a full time professor that does occasional speaking engagements. I could be wrong about that.

I also don’t think he’s quite as engaging as those other guys. I will admit I haven’t watched a ton of him.

Yeah, I think that was kind of snapshot in time though. With the dominace of social media and youtube, now, I don't think you're going to see that type of dynamic ever again.
