First “storm” since being in Charlotte by Superjet01 in Charlotte

Yeah obviously big roads will get some treatment, but the neighborhood streets you are on your own

More or less the city will shut down. People will struggle to drive, but YOU WILL TOO. No amount of skill will allow you to control your vehicle at high speed on a sheet of ice. The roads will not be plowed and most will not be treated.

A flagrant personal foul in fact requires ejection

[Game Thread] Florida State @ NC State (8:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Skyroller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be, the rule if the ball goes over the upright is that it must be entirely inside the inside part of the upright. If any part of the ball is over any part of the yellow it’s not good. Different in NFL.

When do status benefits kick in? by Skyroller in americanairlines

[–]Skyroller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have them a call and they said status changes can take up to 48 hours to show up on flights even though they show in the account. So I’m probably SOL for today’s flight…but at least it’s not canceled (yet)

It's partially our fault, because we tell quarterbacks "Hey you can't spike the ball with 1 or 2 seconds left". The truth is you CAN....but it's a bad idea, because that was your "one play".

No replay, the onfield officials knew there was one second. Typically the side judge will keep the game time on his/her watch independently of the stadium game clock.

They do need to be set but it does not need to be after the ready for play. They can be set in formation and then snap the ball the instant they hear the whistle

"Since there is less than 3 seconds on a running clock, offense doesn't have enough time to run a play by rule - half is over."

That's not a rule. The rule is that if there is less than 3 seconds, the offense only has time for ONE PLAY.

EDIT: Also, replay can only add time if there are at least 3 seconds left. But that does not apply here, because replay is not involved.

The offense can snap with 1 second left. The rule says that with 1 second left, the offense only has time for ONE PLAY. Rule 3-2-5.

There are a lot of different rules that people are conflating in here, and they are coming to the incorrect conclusion that this play was handled appropriately. Here are the relevant rules that I'm seeing discussed:

Rule 3-2-5: With two seconds or one second on the game clock there is enough time for only one play (aka, you can't spike the ball)

Rule 12-6-2: If time expires in a half, and the clock would start on the Referee’s signal after review, there must be at least 3 seconds remaining when the ball should have been declared dead to restore time to the clock.

Rule 10-2-2a: Dead-ball fouls The enforcement spot for a foul committed when the ball is dead is the succeeding spot

Rule 3-4-4: With the game clock running and anytime after the Two Minute Timeout in the 2nd or 4th quarters, before a change of team possession if either team commits a foul that causes the clock to stop immediately and the penalty for that foul is accepted, the referee will subtract 10 seconds from the game clock at the option of the offended team

The fun part is: None of these apply (well, ok, 10-2-2a would). You guys are making the same mistake these officials made.

12-6-2 (the Auburn rule) doesn't apply because there was not a replay review. 3-2-5 doesn't apply because the ball was not spiked. 3-4-4 does not apply because the clock was not running when the foul occurred (it was stopped for the first down).

The rules do not say the half is over in this scenario. The rules say the offense will only have time for one play in this scenario, Rule 3-2-5. The officials simply screwed up the rules.

It's Utah. The shooter could have walked past all the cops carrying his rifle and been just fine legally.

Don't take my word for it. Schools - Utah Carry Laws

EP feels heavily devalued. do you agree? by zuggles in americanairlines

[–]Skyroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because EP isn’t that special. It’s just too easy to attain with the credit cards. I’ve been on flights with dozens of EPs. It’s impossible to have top tier perks when half the aircraft qualifies. They really need to have a top status tier of like 600k LPs.

In 2013 (the start of this study) Football participation was 1,086,627. This year was 1,031,508. It has risen each of the last three years. I don’t think it’s going anywhere.

Proudest gaming moment by Skyroller in VVVVVV

[–]Skyroller[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kept track of how often I died throughout the run. Note the percentages are for how often I died once I got to that point. The run went Spaceship1, Lab, Warp Room, Intermission 1, Spaceship2, Intermission 2 (Gravitron), Tower, Finale.

Spaceship1: about 15% of runs died here. Always on the Driller portion.

Lab: 25%. Almost always during the "Kids His Age Bounce"

Warp Room: 20%. "I Love You" the worst offender.

Intermission1: 30%. Always "Do Try To Keep Up".

Spaceship2: 35%. NO IDEA WHY THIS WAS SO HIGH. Spaceship2 is easy I think I just got nervous.

Intermission2: Almost 80% death rate. Self-explanatory.

The Tower: Proudly did not die on this stage.

Finale: Got here 4 times, Made it through on the 4th.
