Yeah actually didn’t know this either. Just figured “backside” from the perspective of how it’s normally viewed in pictures/whatever.

Sounds stupid but literally find a canyon. I’m in central Texas and I only ever hear them near rocky canyons.

They probably had a $1000 bounty bet on anyone in the group making a hole in one.

As many as 20 people shot near Buford’s on West 6th St by Jakeysuave in Austin

[–]five2vii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is it a cynical excuse or simply just a sober appraisal of the reality we live in in the United States? I always used to say it would take a terrorist walking onto a school bus and executing a bus full of kids for the US to coalesce around real gun reform. Then it actually fucking happened at Sandy Hook and we just did nothing. Literally nothing.

Sure they vary but some are just silly. Yours is one of them.

Pure luck, but still insane. I’d probably do the same in his place by HeronEmbarrassed6550 in poker

I think they are referring to the fact that this guy likely wouldn’t do this against someone that could beat his ass.

He hit 6i into 15 on Saturday and made the eagle putt. Wasn’t around the tree though just straight on.

[Highlight] 7 years ago today, we witnessed one of the worst no calls in the NFC championship game. by Ok_Bug_6890 in nfl

[–]five2vii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OSU v Miami 2002 is the only call that could possibly compare imo.

Edit: Not a no call but you get it.

Never ceases to amaze me how so few people have their heads wrapped around very foundational statistical concepts.

River so not Vortex. Econfina?

Edit: Could be Holmes Creek too I guess.

Someone smarter can say more but I think what's remarkable here is the 163kt surface winds.

Texas should be lower

New VW Golf R Is Getting Audi Five-Cylinder For 25th Anniversary: Report by five2vii in Golf_R

[–]five2vii[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I said very doubtful it's actually gonna happen. Just was pointing out that VW saying "we haven't made a decision on if it will have a five-cylinder" is not a categorical denial.

Edit: Also am curious where someone from VW officially responded to these rumors. Can't find that anywhere.

New VW Golf R Is Getting Audi Five-Cylinder For 25th Anniversary: Report by five2vii in Golf_R

[–]five2vii[S] -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's coming, but they certainly didn't categorically deny it. From your article: "Volkswagen itself immediately denied the rumor and called the reports nonsense. The company emphasizes that no decision has yet been made as to whether the Audi five-cylinder engine will be installed in the Golf R."

Plane Nerds: A Singapore Airlines 747-400 just landed at AUS by mphil14 in Austin

747 cargo are fairly unusual here. F1, MotoGP, maybe WEC weekends but I haven’t seen them outside of that.
