the stupidity of college football is a non-negligible part of it's charm

100% and I feel like the bowl system was a much better reflection of this than any playoff will ever be. The ridiculousness of 2+ schools claiming the same titles on a regular basis, and everyone else mostly agreeing both claims are valid but still bickering over which is more valid, was a big part of the sport's charm.

Not true on either count. We just don't have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.

I'm a noob, but often what drives up lens cost is the complexity associated with making the image better over the whole field of view. Lenses have various inherent errors (called aberrations) that are corrected by a combination of complex surface profiles on individual lens elements and stacking multiple individual lens elements to cancel each other's errors out. A scope likely only needs good correction near the center, where the user will be looking most of the time, while a camera lens needs good correction everywhere so the whole photo looks good when you view it later. Wider field of view makes good correction much more complicated and expensive very fast.

Was talking to a fellow rider about this video, I thought it was kinda lame. They disagreed, said after watching they went out and intentionally kept their revs higher in corners and felt more control/precision. I tried the same this past weekend and have to agree, carrying higher revs through corners than I did before made cornering feel much better

Sounds like you're already going down another path, but Fwiw the individual audio levels in the cardo app do not do exactly what their names imply imo.

Background music is effectively just music level, for instance. I assumed it was the level music dropped to when someone talks or a phone notification plays, but no. It affects the normal music volume. The app explicitly says it's for during an active call, but it is wrong. You want it at 100% always afaik.

Your phone audio settings may also be separate for different types of audio, as another comment pointed out, and these settings are NOT the same as the ones in the cardo app. You need to turn them both up.

I mean, whoever that was ranked them at 25...

Largest to smallest is way more logical than smallest to largest. You start general and get more specific as you progress. It is in general a better approach to conveying information and cataloging data. Not just dates.

I like the Avatar Legends RPG, and the lore included is great. But I hate how spread out the rules are and how much hunting around I find myself doing. They probably could have put all the rules in a concise, 20-30 pages or less. Then the other hundred or so after that could have the lore.

It's PbtA. Very easy to GM and to play. But it's still hard to convince people to try it, even people who like ATLA, because the rule book looks so long.

The App Formerly Known as Twitter does have a lot of porn. Maybe you're on to something here.

Neither of those are true. Some steel and leathers may be treated to make them anti-microbial, but they are generally not
