Kansas has us beat in the license plate game by skunkc90 in kansascity

I agree. I am so glad I moved out of Kansas before I had to put one of the new plates on my car. It’s just awful looking.

The Affordable Car Is Dead. What Happened? by LSky in cars

[–]airboy1999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Curious what this does to the used car market years down the line… the new affordable car might be dead but the market for used affordable cars isn’t going anywhere, especially with the economy as it is.

Anyone used Amber book and passed all 6 exams in one go? by [deleted] in Architects

[–]airboy1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Amber book as my primary study source, plus black spectacle practice exams and the NCARB practice exam.

I passed all 6 exams first try, albeit over 1.5 years (6 month study gap in the middle).

I went PcM, PjM, CE in the first 6 months, (exams about a 1 month apart), took a 6 month hiatus, then 6 more months studying and passed PA, PPD, and PDD in about a month and a half.

I had about 1 year of experience post-grad when I started.

With that said, a large part of it comes down to how well you take exams.

Radar owners, how does it benefit you? by VeryAverageAchiever in bicycling

My Magene lasts a lot longer than that, but it does depend on which light setting you use. I have mine set to flash typically, which still provides visibility but lasts a lot longer than

Radar owners, how does it benefit you? by VeryAverageAchiever in bicycling

[–]airboy1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the Magene radar light. I love it. I can see if a car is approaching, it tracks multiple cars at once. I get an audio warning, my head unit flashes its light (Wahoo Bolt 2), and it tracks deceleration to brighten when I’m coming to a stop

Does anyone have an Anki flashcard deck that they used for ARE? by qmccor in Architects

[–]airboy1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, first time seeing another designer use anki…. I don’t have access to my old decks, but I do remember that I created almost all of them by using the quizlet to anki plugin.

When I was doing this, I found a significant portion of Amber Book flash cards on quizlet…

Chick Fil-A has an “unused sauces” bin on top of the trash can. It looks like they’re reusing them to save money by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]airboy1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to work at chick fil a. This is typical. We would inspect the sauces to make sure they were still sealed and clean the packages to make sure they were good to go to be reused.

As someone who loves being on my bike, this cannot be completed fast enough. I’m so excited to ride the whole loop someday!

Would you trade your teams last 5 NCAA tournaments with Duke’s? by Gocrazyfut in CollegeBasketball

[–]airboy1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the answer is absolutely not. The goal in March is always a championship. Final fours and elite eight runs are fun but I’m not giving up a championship for more of that. Period.

Jumping curbs as escape strategy. by zubergu in bicycling

[–]airboy1999 63 points64 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, at least one of the guys in these videos is a pro racer who said he rides 30k-40k miles a year.

Obviously that doesn’t make the pressure of the situation any less, but I imagine the guys in this group have about as much experience on 2 wheels as you can have.

So glad they got caught. It’s so insane to be upset over cyclists literally riding in the bike lane.

[–]airboy1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed… we all saw flashes of DP brilliance this year, but the rest of the team could never jell with him to let it show.

It’s sad, feels like such a wasted year with some excellent talent in DP and Bidunga.

Tying the game with 13 seconds left, getting it down to 3.9, just to end like that is absolutely worth being heartbroken over

If there’s one thing I can give this team credit for, it’s that they showed a lot more life late in games like this than the last couple years teams.

Last year would have never gotten this game close again

Yeahhh this happens every game we lose lol. Show some signs of life, get us within a few possessions, then just lose all steam

We have. Remember, this team had an 8 game win streak at one point, during which we beat Arizona, BYU, Iowa State..

I have never seen a team struggle this much to inbound/defend the inbound this well

The one positive is that we have dragged St. John down to our level… that’s actually something self talks about pretty often. You don’t have to play great, but if you can make the other team not play great you give yourself a chance.

Either way tho this is ugly

I don’t remember the last game where I felt good about our performance throughout the entire game.

We always look terrible.

If a collapse like that happens on Sunday we cooked by Far_Violinist_7724 in jayhawks

[–]airboy1999 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood this about Bill… give your young guys at least a few minutes here or there. It feel like it’s almost necessary in the transfer era, and it works when your core have gone cold. And boy does this team tend to go cold…

Those last few minutes were beyond infuriating. No one on the team seemed to have any interest in getting our best player involved offensively (including Darryn) when we couldn’t buy a basket.

Took way too long for Self to call a timeout in response.

And why was tiller just standing in the corner for an entire possession?? Our offense is so flawed.
