The average NFL game has a whopping eleven minutes of actual game play. http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/pie-chart-actual-football-watching-nfl-game-vs-replays-commercials-etc/ That's why I don't watch, also I don't care much for sports aside from playoff hockey and auto racing.

I never list a number because I don't technically have a burner #...but I do have a second line that I don't use for ANYTHING that is technically work related, but work uses my primary cell... I should just list that #. Might make things easier. Google Voice... free local number, free forwarding, free voicemail transcription... it's my go-to for selling crap.

meatpimp posted:Right now we're benefiting from countries and some enormous companies fighting for the market / market share. In the US the rise of fracking opened up the door for a LOT of small oil companies to get into the oil market. Fracking is very expensive, relatively, and for those small companies to stay in business, they need the price of crude to be ~$75/barrel or more. With it under $25/barrel, it costs them more to extract the oil than they can sell it for. This is going to starve out those small companies, and will probably result in them being gobbled up by the enormous companies. The beginning of this actually isn't that accurate. The middle and end are correct. Your last sentence is 100% true. Fracking is VERY easy to shut off, and the leases/costs to maintain a well are nothing compared to deepwater operations. The small fracking companies aren't going anywhere, because they can just shut down the wells and wait for prices to increase. The actual companies may go out of business, but they'll be bought by other small operations. Big companies (at least right now) want nothing to do with shale. The price of extraction is too high, the risks too large, and the public image is not good. However, venture capitalists will be happy to snap up the leases and capped wells and sit on them until the easily-accessed oil is gone, and prices skyrocket. Then they'll dust off the wellheads and their maps of where additional reserves are, and go to town on everyone's wallets. The primary reason for the low oil prices is a massive change in demand (downward due to slowing economies across the world) and a pretty large uptick in production (NA Shale and tar sands). Those combined with the continued high-volume pumping in the Middle East and Russia make for huge oversupply, which drives pricing down. KSA haven't increased their production much, because they don't have to. The production from the other sources is plenty to outstrip demand and make the prices plummet.

I was too poor to afford a ticket, and the cop didn't give me one. I kinda wish I had gotten one so I could have gone to court for it.

bolind posted:What's the verdict on the first gen Audi TT 1.8T Quattro? A mate is considering one. It's a VW MKIV platform car. 'Nuf said. The engines are decent, once the coil packs get replaced, the water pump impeller is plastic and likes to break, which takes out the timing belt. The biggest forums with info about the car and/or engine are festering cesspools of human indignity. The interior is very nice, but the soft touch plastics like to peel and smell like crayons.

jamal posted:I like my whisky/bourbon/scotch with a bit of ice. Sometimes even a splash of water. Yup. Depending on the strength of the alcohol, that's the way it's "meant" to be enjoyed. I just finished a cask strength Laphroaig, 56% ABV. To even taste half of what it offered, you had to water it down. Y'all can drink fire straight, but I like the flavor.

kastein posted:I know right? quote:Dried and cleaned stomachs of young calves are sliced into small pieces and then put into salt water or whey, together with some vinegar or wine to lower the pH of the solution. After some time (overnight or several days), the solution is filtered. The crude rennet that remains in the filtered solution can then be used to coagulate milk. About 1 g of this solution can normally coagulate 2 to 4 L of milk. YUM!
