Because they're meant to measure athleticism, not football skills (for the most part)

I think OPs logic is that running the 40, jumping, etc in the pads shows what the players' speed is like on the field, where you will have the added weight of the pads.

And when exactly are you going to jump from a stand still and reach up with one hand like in the vertical jump in game? Or run in a straight line for 40 yards without having someone get in your way?

1976dave 8 points

Not that I agree with OP necessarily, but if you want to use this argument the natural answer is "more often than you'll be doing either of those things without pads."

It's a rule that Aaron Rodgers pulls voodoo shit and every game against the Cowboys is a comeback win at the end of the game.

1976dave 8 points

Doesn't even have to be Aaron Rodgers, can just be Matt Flynn...

Unless you are suggesting Aaron Rodgers voodoo'd Matt Flynn and was controlling his body from the sideline

You're right. Thanks for the motivation, yo. Though now that I weigh 140, down from the 170 I was when I benched that weight, it might be a bit of a mountain to climb :)

If memory serves me right, male strength peaks in late 20s -- it's the fast twitch that peaks earlier, so you might find you have an easier time with it even!

I mean the guy has survived and outperformed every guy who was going to "replace" him. Let's just settle for now and focus on more important needs.

Imagine trading a top 10 corner because he is an ass occasionally.

What's a corner?

Nobody beats Revis in 2014, that was a shove.

1976dave 3 points

Correction: Jordy Nelson beat Revis in 2014. IIRC only TD revis gave up in regular season that year

And he didn't give up a TD he was shoved. Revis don't get beat that year.

Just wait until a friend dies and their Steam handle says "Offline for 2565 days".

You'll be my friend forever, JOYKILLER. Even beyond the grave.

I feel like there's a word for when you're feeling embarrassed for another person? That's how I felt reading that whole thing.

How would this machine perform on Skyrim or fallout new Vegas? They are all I play and I need a new comp but I’m really not hoping to drop a grand on it

1976dave 1 point

This is really similar specs to my old gaming laptop that played fall out three, new Vegas and Skyrim just fine. Heck it even played Skyrim with an HD texture pack just fine. Before that I had a laptop with a gt 310 that could play skyrim

Xbox one just for hall Master Chief collection. I've been a PC gamer all my life, played halo ce and 2, then Microsoft stopped releasing them on windows and I never got to finish. I've played 1 and 2 probably a million times and now I finally get to finish the series!

Considering a PS4 for SOTC and horizon zero Dawn now, too...

I'm familiar with this type of system. Do they pull air well enough?

I have a boring but basically an open front case right now and wanted to make an upgrade to a cooler looking case. The only thing is that I don't want to compromise THAT much in temperatures after seeing some videos.

I searched for that type of void tunnel but could not find anything specific so I'm asking on here.

1976dave 10 points

void tunnel located on the front of the case

/u/goblincocksmoker is making a joke about dumping the heat into the (apparent) infinite void on the front of the case (the infinity mirror set up)

This was the case for me. When I started cooking my own dishes and actually using different seasonings and flavoured salt I was amazed. I'm still not a good cook by any means because I really have nowhere to learn other than from the internet. I wish we had delicious family recipes passed down!

I'll jump in with everyone else giving recommendations; mine is "The Food Lab" by J. Kenji Lopez-alt. Not only does he break down tons of different recipes and touch on the science of why they work, but he also has detailed discussions about what knives, pans, etc are best for doing what things in the kitchen. It's a great resource.
