I think the best tack is to go through fast if you have a 36 plus length.


First, leave with the rising tide and absolutely not when the tide is falling and a strong easterly wind, that will stack the swells.

Second, trim your motor/trim tabs to raise the bow, get passenger weight to the rear, and drive up the swell and back off right before you crest. In a place like Haulover, you can't change your angle of attack as much because it is a fairly narrow channel.

It is clear you don't know much about Hinduism; of the billions of things a Hindu can be reincarnated as, a woman is at worst #2 on the list.

Actually, if you are reincarnated as a woman, you have done extremely well. Reincarnation isn't truly a punishment; it is just part of the cycle. The punishment is meted out in Naraka, where your bad karma is purged. There are different levels of Naraka (hell), similar to Dante's hell.

No idea why cast iron doesn't have the same issue?


In a word, seasoning.

When you heat oil on iron, it goes through a chemical process called polymerization. It is when monomers link together to form long-chain polymers. It produces a hard, plastic-like coating on the cast iron and reduces food sticking.

Where did you get this idea? The US is absolutely dependent on foreign oil. We import over 6.5 million barrels a day due to refining imbalances. If you cut that oil import off the price of gas and diesel would skyrocket because it is such an inelastic product.

That is about right. The 296 GTB has a MSRP around $335k so normally optioned it would be close to $400k. However, you arguably get what you pay for because comparing a to a 308 to a 296 is like comparing Apollo 11 to the Starship Enterprise.

Michigan 0-1.

Western Michigan 1-0.

FACT.


Not that you will care, but there are multiple videos on Twitter taken inside the stadium that show the play and the scoreboard clock, and they show there was one second on the scoreboard on both ends when the defender was already back on the ground.

Everyone saw NBC as infallible because it is what we wanted to believe, but the reality is there was 1 second left on the clock.

Maybe because the TI-86 is an antique and has been discontinued for decades.

You probably bought a TI-84.

I think it is clear that Oceania should not have had a slot.

Yeah. The scoreboard clock should be the one that counts because that is what everyone sees including the coaches who make decisions based upon what the scoreboard clock says.


There has been multiple videos come out that were taken in the stadium that show the scoreboard clock still showed 0:01 then the defender touched the ball. The error was an NBC issue.

I have a thread on MSB where I initially showed there SHOULD have been time on the clock now some of the videos are posted on the last page that show there was time on the stadium clock.

While I applaud your effort, note that typical broadcast labeled as 30 fps is really 29.97 fps. So you need to adjust your math some.


I wondered if/when someone would point that out. It makes .011 difference.

It is a moot point, all I showed is that the clock should have showed 0:01 but there are now multiple in-stadium videos that clearly show the defender catching the ball and 0:01 still showing on the stadium clock. Whether I like it or not, Michigan should have gotten the last play based solely on empirical evidence. We can move on to arguing about the non-reviewable issues like holding. Just kidding; almost nobody will change their opinion because they want it to be one way.
