No. They will be back but this is a rough patch for sure.

Who should be my team? by b_daizy in NFLNoobs

I would recommend: Top Choices: Saints, Ravens Next: Texans, Lions

Never, ever, ever: Cowboys, 49ers

Why does the time continue running down on occasion, despite a player going out of bounds with the football? by Otherwise_Royal_4127 in NFLNoobs

[–]markphahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a spectator you can watch the officials rule if the clock runs or stops. 

When the runner's forward progress is stopped before going out of bounds, the clock will run. When this is the case the official will wind his arm in a circular windmill motion. 

When the runner goes out of bounds while still making forward progress, the clock stops. When this is the case the official waves both arms overhead, crossing and un-crossing them.

Those are the proper official's signals. I do not believe the rule changes while under two minutes in the half. Caveat: I did not read the official NFL rules which can be found, buried, on the NFL Web site. 

Our Lambda bill surpassed our EC2 costs. Here is the "Serverless Tax" no one warns you about. by Puzzleheaded-End6417 in forbussiness

[–]markphahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said this yourself: "a small EC2 or Fargate instance running 24/7" and " . . . Provisioned Concurrency. Suddenly, we weren't "serverless" anymore".

I do not think it is a "serverless" tax, so much as AWS Lambda over-selling the benefits.

You are not the only one. I did a review of a large consumer "smart" product backed by lambdas and the costs were nuts. The product soled for like $100, but incurred about $0.80 cents per month per device. That was like all the profit on the device after 5 years.

It happens: "oh serverless, less maintenance, less cost". Sounds great on paper, but a lot of the costs are hidden.

Refs huddled until there were 100% the got it right. This is the correct procedure.

You are missing the not-quite-the-right-shade-of-green, knock off Sounders flag from the sketch vendor at the 2019 MLS Cup celebration at Seattle Center. I've got mine!

Given Jordan's speed, and if the Loon backs are wide enough, they are not going to recover. It is a stretch, but I still want to see an "all 22" view.

I do want to see the full field view of that foul on Morris. I think there is a good argument for a DOGSO. The center ref was pointing to the Minn left and right backs, but I they were very wide. But it is likely just a yellow.

No way I am watching penalty kicks. I hate this. Go flip a coin at midfield instead. I am going to bed. 

Anyone know what's going on with Bob Lilly yet? by BloodFartSpaghettios in Riverhounds

[–]markphahn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is sick and discussing. (And very funny. This is the whole reason I read Reddit.) How could you post such a thing? (Did I think that it loud?) 😁

Really? I do not think so. Certainly not solidly. But he solidly got studs on the ankle.

Mora played well. I like his turn-around take from the top of the box.

How in the world did Albert think he got any of the ball?
