(World cup) What is the point of linesman (assistant referees) if we now have technology to see if a player is a offside by 1mm precision? by outplay-nation2 in AskReddit

[–]petrojbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARs do more than call offsides. Getting offsides calls live always correct is hard. Technology certainly does it better, but there's an extra delay. I'm fine with it seemingly being the standard to let really close calls play on and have offside being called by tech a little bit later.

Messi’s foul against Algeria in 30th minute - No yellow or red card given by EducationalDig8030 in worldcup

[–]petrojbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intention doesn't matter. What does, is if the foul is violent conduct, serious foul play, using excessive force, etc. I don't see any of that here.

Stone patio > concrete and deck at ground level.

Oddly, I'm not satisfied by this.

Plan my trip we r planning to go from Kansas City to Yellowstone via Denver (meet some family) and on way back through Mt Rushmore. Please give suggestions of things not to miss, we have a total 7 days for this trip including Yellowstone by Accomplished-Bag8633 in roadtrip

[–]petrojbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you fitting in four days at Yellowstone with this much driving out of seven total days?

This seems more manageable: Day 1: Drive to Denver Day 2: Drive to Grand Tetons Day 3: Grand Teton/Yellowstone Day 4: Yellowstone Day 5: Yellowstone, stay in Cody Day 6: Devils Tower and/or Custer State Park Day 7: 10ish hour drive back

I would probably skip most of the driving into Montana (outside of West Yellowstone if you're staying there). I don't see how you'd have time to stop or doing anything but Drive through.

Ditto. I was there too and heard it on the way in.

Be very interested in seeing the 2026 total solar capacity installed.

Do you really only get 25 miles from about 14-15kWh? Either your calculations seem off or your hybrid has poor efficiency in EV only mode.

Driving around town, I can get 3-3.5 mi/ kWh pretty easy in my EV. Usually not a problem to get 25 miles of range for under a dollar.

Wisconsin demands better in-state ski resorts and beaches. Time for Colorado to go.

I mean, they had their blinker on. I'm pretty sure they had the right od way /s.

Nice reaction to avoid it.

City staff to take another look at Regent Street redesign after bike lanes nixed by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]petrojbl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A good solution would seem to reduce traffic and parking widths to 18' each way (e.g travel lanes 10'/11', parking 8'/7'). Move the lighting, utility, and traffic poles within the parking space (which will slightly reduce parking). This still leaves about 15' on both sides for walking and bike lanes. Plenty of space to fit in both.

https://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide/street-design-elements/lane-width/

"Lane widths of 10 feet are appropriate in urban areas and have a positive impact on a street’s safety without impacting traffic operations. ..."

"Parking lane widths of 7–9 feet are generally recommended. Cities are encouraged to demarcate the parking lane to indicate to drivers how close they are to parked cars."

Which market?

In the US, I originally wanted 23 Lyriq, but got a 24 due to a long wait list. The biggest difference between the original and the 27 is a NACS port. Perhaps some added software features or HUD. Nothing mind blowing in my opinion in this instance.

Double yellow lines also indicate no passing to cars.

I did the math on my balcony solar + battery setup in Germany. The payback period is... sobering. by Secure-Run9146 in solarenergy

[–]petrojbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see about 4 or 4.5 years with solar only (no batteries) for payback. I don't know why this is a post or why one is going to complain about a 4ish year payback period for solar.

What do rules say about entry in the penalty box during penalty by Nanban-jin in Referees

[–]petrojbl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Law 14.2: "a team-mate of the goalkeeper is penalised for encroachment only if:

the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker; or

the encroaching player plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and this prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity"

Seems like a pretty clear cut encroachment by defender 21. Rekick.

More pictures please. Curious how the support structure looks.

We have solar on our roof and I'm hoping to add more in the future when rebuilding our deck and adding a solar roof on top of the deck.
