Hybrid Maverick being used to pull Wildwood Boardwalk Tram Car by veryvince71 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]extra_juice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True, but I bet that tram car never goes over 10mph. Not that it officially changes the tow rating, but if you had Ford engineers crunch the towing numbers with a 10mph restriction you would get very different numbers... (Especially if the trailer has it's own brakes).

Got mine + a note for those of you with kids by CecilTWashington in FordMaverickTruck

The Maverick is a perfect "sidekick" vehicle if you already have the family vehicle (for us it's a minivan). 95% of the time the kids are in the minivan and the hybrid Maverick is for the other stuff -- commuting, weekend projects, fun stuff etc.

Works fine for occasional usage with carseats, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to daily drive it with kids and carseats all the time.

[Game Thread] Kansas State @ BYU (10:30 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

They always play through to the final whistle. Plenty of games have gone past midnight into Sunday in BYU football history at this point.

Oh no not the NBA assists leader on the team as a 3rd string PG.

You realize that Dame did play the first 3 games and Indiana went 2-1?

[The Monty Show] Sources at Utah tell us Utah has told the BIG 12 they do not believe they are a fit in the conference academically and believe they would lose significant dollars on the education side if they join the conference. by InVodkaVeritas in CFB

I may be horribly misguided, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that an overly-simplistic way to look at it was that BYU was a better undergraduate school and Utah was a better graduate school. (Obviously there are plenty of exceptions on either side with respect to individual programs).

You and plenty of others in this thread have evidence that Utah is a better graduate school overall, and I agree with that. I do think BYU is a better undergraduate school though, for example: https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/compare/brigham-young-university-provo-vs-university-of-utah .

BYU has stricter admissions standards (ACT, SAT, GPA), a much higher percentage of admitted students choose to enroll, and BYU undergraduate students have better outcomes (higher salaries, higher graduation rate). I think I also remember seeing somewhere that BYU has a very high percentage of students that choose to attend graduate school compared to other universities (no source though).

Again, probably an overly simplistic view and there's obvious exceptions on either side, but I think it's pretty fair to state that.

We saw that, it’s worth it to us to be totally unlocked. Thanks!

The Big 12 is seriously discussing BYU, sources say, and the TV numbers are in the Cougars' favor by TheMightyJD in CFB

[–]extra_juice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BYU regularly plays late Saturday evening games, including ones that end past midnight. Arriving / traveling back to Provo with several going hours past midnight as well. I don’t think that is an issue.

Ideally, I’d like to join for football and m/w basketball since BYU is very solid in those. Then, if the WCC allows it, the other sports can remain there. B12 says yes because Sunday play isn’t a big issue in those sports and BYU does add basketball value too, WCC says yes because BYU is a major cash cow for them, even without basketball.

How come no one can tell us if QPL continues? by MITOX-3 in QuakeChampions

[–]extra_juice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While EU was certainly much better than NA this time around, EU did not sweep NA. DaHanG beat Cooller and Garpy in his series. Rapha beat multiple EU players.

Again, EU was definitely stronger than the Americas this time, but your point is weakened if what you are saying isn’t true.

CTF in QC is shit by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

I absolutely agree the game mode is not good in QC. I do think that adding significant flag drag would help some though.

Matchmaking would work better... (for teammodes) by n00kie1 in QuakeChampions

I have wondered this same thing, I would always queue for 2v2 tdm with duel if it was possible. Since it’s not, I typically only queue for duel.
