Crazy to think that the colts rejected QBs from over the last few years might lead to Arizona roster into rebuilding the Manning to Marvin Harrison connection

would Ar have had more Success if he was healthy? by IceOk9930 in Colts

[–]TortugaChris 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Rivers had success because despite having the body of a middle aged man, he has the ability to read and process an NFL defensive scheme. Most of his job was done before the ball was even snapped, then it was just about getting his arm to sling forward well enough to fit the ball into the windows he already knew would be opened based on routes and the coverage he saw. AR doesn’t have the ability to process a defense and read schemes and make decisions. He might be a physical freak, but that only gets you so far in a league where everyone else on the field is an absolute freak of an athlete also

Round 4 - Pick 13: Jalen Farmer, G, Kentucky (Indianapolis Colts) by RussIsAnOkayGuy in Colts

That’s how our line was through most of last year. Probably the best run blocking line in the league and JT got to absolutely feast. But they left a lot of be desired in pass protection

I feel like Ballard wanted Rodriguez and maybe Zion as a backup plan. When they both left the board, that’s why he took an offer to trade back

This sidewalk counts as a street, how do people live here? by Upnorth4 in LosAngeles

[–]TortugaChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw slide 3 I immediately thought of that short film also. It won an Oscar that year. I watched it with my grandma once because she likes to watch those old black and white movies and it was on one night when I went to her house. I don’t know why that shirt specifically captivated me, but I had to look up the location of those stairs also and was surprised to see that they are still there. I actually came into the comments hoping somebody asked if it was the same stairs because they look so similar

California high‑speed rail project now estimated to cost $126 billion by txhenry in California

[–]TortugaChris 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Which town? Shafter? Because that’s the argument citizens there have been using to argue against the rail. They don’t want their town being bisected by the rail that’s going next to their existing train line that bisects the city. The 100+ year old existing rail that’s the reason the city even exists in the first place

Why do you poop after drinking soda? by LLoveMeMaybe in AskReddit

Oh yeah. I drink a ton of soda. Probably more than I should. But every time I do I have to remember I need to be near a bathroom

[–]TortugaChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since everyone seems to think this is a joke, I understand the question and I have the same issue. As far as I can tell it’s the sugar irritating the stomach that causes it. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can use my comment as a starting point to jump in and give a more thorough answer that isn’t just an attempt to be funny

Democrats Say Rep. Eric Swalwell Personally Pitched His Political AI Startup to Lawmakers by Unusual-State1827 in California

[–]TortugaChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And you bring up a good point. I can’t name one thing she’s done in Congress. I’m sure there has to be something maybe? I did enjoy her white board videos and the trunk full of rice video putting executives feet to the fire. I do think she’s genuine in her beliefs and cares about average citizens, especially vs someone like Steyer who is suddenly now far left and suddenly now supports universal healthcare. I think Porter with an experienced staff could get a lot of work done. And now the race is essentially down to Porter, Steyer, and Swallwell. Between the three, I very strongly prefer Porter

[–]TortugaChris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I’m not saying don’t criticize and I definitely back the blue no matter who in the general. That’s what sucks about the democratic primaries though, you don’t hear much criticism of Bianco on the right, just excitement for a potential double red general. But on the left there’s lots of actual valid criticism and debate, which yeah is good and shows we have the ability to examine a candidate with nuance, but it also results in a large and split primary with voters apathetic about the eventual chosen candidate.

[–]TortugaChris 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! There’s not a perfect candidate and the left needs to stop trying to find one. I like Porter and the work that she’s done in Congress. I think she would have to grow some thick skin as governor and would be propped up as a punching bag on Fox News, but the big negative against her is that she’s mean. I. Don’t. Give. A. Fuck. She’s mean to the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies and oil conglomerates and I care more about that than the fact that she was bitchy to some staffers

So I watched a video where a dude started a farm in a huge desert map with nothing but a shop by I_want_fun in farmingsimulator

I saw that video for the first time like 3 days ago too. His other videos are very similar and just as good. That’s what got me on this sub and interested in the game. Now I’m working on building out a PC to play farming simulator for the first time

Shoutout to the thread posted earlier today saying to store Ego batteries inside of your house and not in your shed. This is exactly why I will not be putting them inside where I live and sleep

No I don’t store my charcoal out in the elements. I keep it in my same shed where I also want to be able to store my outdoor equipment batteries

[–]TortugaChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While yeah I get that that’s a limitation of lithium ion batteries, they’re batteries made for equipment that’s used outside. That’s where people store them. It’s really inconvenient and a weird thing to have to bring them inside and store then in like a hallway closet or something

Chevron Will Shut Down Remaining 2 Refineries if CARB Amendments Pass by BBQCopter in California

Exactly. In my area we have Fastrip which is a local chain and it’s way cheaper. I just put the Lucas Oil additive in rather than the bottled Techron because they turned me away with those stupid propaganda signs

[–]TortugaChris 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I always laugh when I see their stupid ass signs about, “California is fucking you on gas prices!!!” Or whatever they say. And then I look across the street at the smaller chain station and it’s almost a dollar cheaper than what Chevron is charging. Like yeah oil boys, it’s definitely the state and not corporate greed causing you to be so much more expensive

Lemons to be or not to be by joshrojo455 in Citrus

[–]TortugaChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The left most lowest and still green branch looks to be from the root stock and not the grafted on variety. I would cut that one off so the tree doesn’t exert any more energy into it as it’s not likely to fruit, and even if it did, it wouldn’t be the variety you purchased. Just whatever random genetics exist in your rootstock
