I raise you:


This is all I see here...

@BagHead You weren't exaggerating on editing time for youtube videos. I'm still in the learning how to do stuff phase of everything but it's taking forever to make a video. When I have an active channel I'll give you the link so you can make fun of my videos, turnabout is fair play after all.

I don't recall being made fun of, only being respected in spite of the nerdiness, so I'll be sure to do the same, Can't wait to see what you end up with!

True definition of boredom.

Went to Twins game a few weeks ago. Came in on U.S. 12 from South Dakota. I swear there is a town about every 3 miles, and you have to slow down going through every one of them. Thought we were never going to get there. Plus it was a noon game so we did a turn around a came back home after. It seemed even worse coming home…..

Plus Twins lost….

You don't have to slow down... It just depends if you want to stay on the right side of Johnny Law or not.

I was half expecting you to say that I could’ve ended it right after saying “Went to Twins game a few weeks ago.” :)

I like baseball. Watching a game live (in nice weather) is always a good time, win or lose.

For a thrill try taking MN-7 on the way back. It's been a few years, but I've driven it so many times that I could still probably name every restaurant between St Boni and Ortonville. And there are at least like 6.

Done that one too…
Kinda felt like doing the Mr. Bean greeting on the way home. Apologies if it isn’t “PG” enough….

Not sure why Audio Visual geeks are being singled out here... but as a videophile... I think the bottom graphic is lacking proper detail.

If you're trying to explain to the avg person, you'd want to break down where the thrust comes from... it's not the nose. You'd want to explain what lift is, it's high pressure below the wing and low pressure above in combination. You'd want to explain what drag is, it's the air that after slipping past the plane... then gets sucked back towards it, causing it to "drag" a bit behind (hint, less drag the better).

All of that should be detailed in the bottom graphic. Otherwise the avg person just goes back to thinking "magic". ;)

Are you still mad that the airplane pics doesn't show where the flux capacitor is located? That is an industry secret, and only after you join the club does that info become available.
