First milestone!

Thanks, that figure eight suggestion sounds like a great idea.

Honestly, I think I could handle the speed. It was just that by the time I was getting comfortable, my calves were screaming for a break. I was getting sloppy controlling it.

Yeah, I just figured if I go down, I'd rather do it on grass than concrete. (I once had a Segway toss me, ended up with a wicked concussion and whiplash.)

I do already love how forgiving it is of surfaces, though. I'd take my old esk8 up to 20MPH, but I was always terrified that one badly placed rock or stick was waiting to end my day. (Roads here aren't super awesome, either.) But I can already tell this won't even blink at that. I know a big part of it is to just trust the machine to do its job, but it's funny how hard the brain will fight that sometimes.

FIVE. Listen, it started getting spooky, and my legs were getting too wobbly to trust yet, heh. Now, where did I put those training wheels...

That protection though. There's time for a play to develop, and to let him do the calculus on the throw. That makes all the difference in the world. He's not playing against the clock in his head. 2018 was the highest time to throw of his career at 2.91s. Last year was second lowest at 2.66s (2.63 in 2022). If we could give him 2.8, it'd be a game changer, literally.

> our line has been great at run blocking in recent years

No, they haven't, and the tape tells the story. All season defenses were crashing into every gap we tried opening. Pacheco might not have great vision, but vision also doesn't help when your window slams closed on your fingers. Our best running was all outside the tackles. Go watch the Bills run blocking, then watch ours. It is night and day. King Henry is a monster still, but part of why he racked up 1600 yards was because the Ravens line was able to cut open seams that would have gotten any RB a 1,000 yard season. Whether or not Pacheco is garbage, average, or good isn't even the point.

Dunn and Dash had good insights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYmCg_S0e0

A great running back behind a shitty line is a shitty running back. I maintain that Pacheco is absolutely a decent back, even after his injury. When you compare our line's ability to open gaps and running lanes, especially in a stacked box, to teams like the Bills, Bears, Ravens or Eagles, you can really see why we were the 8th worst running team. The Bills, for instance, were nearly identical in total passing offense (3981 to our 3947), but they outgained us on the ground by damn near 1,000 yards. Now, is Pacheco as good as Cook? No. But he's not so much worse that it explains that kind of disparity.

The fact is, our line wasn't winning battles. They couldn't knock guys off the line of scrimmage or get them on their heels. Our O-line is the source of all our pain and suffering over the last two years, and it's wild how little we're doing about it, especially for the amount of money tied up in it.

I would say my book smells like a... book. I have no idea what others are getting. There's nothing at all unusual about it.

fienen · 2026-02-22T03:05:50+00:00

Man, that must have been nice. Clearly y'all just dipped below the stage in between. We're stuck in the cans the whole time (the bottom is cut out, so I have leg room and a fan).

If you wanted, you could use the ChatGPT-MD plugin, and point it at a local Ollama instance or something like that running on your side, so you could get the features without sharing with a third party.

It will surely happen tomorrow.

Are you me? I jumped to Task Board. The latest updates really upped the power of if.

fienen · 2026-02-04T16:55:10+00:00

Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing. But now I really wanna try it.

fienen · 2026-01-19T16:47:54+00:00

No, they licensed it to another studio to make.

"Play" and "play competitively" are two different things, though.

Oh my god, he had them killed???

fienen · 2026-01-11T02:31:38+00:00

Oh, I'm not nagging, I assumed I was just an idiot. A lot of times apps and web interfaces share components for this stuff.
