We’re a 4-5 seed, sweet 16 level team. Florida is championship caliber. Had Knox actually taken a small step forward this year and stayed healthy, and had Pringle been the guy we thought he was, we may have been championship caliber. We just aren’t though.

Our pitching will naturally not do so well against SEC competition, but even so it looks like we will have a great staff this year. Only thing left to really figure out is whether we will fill the traditional closer role.
Great pitching plus having a guy like Helfrick at the catcher spot who is ++ on every aspect of the game means you have a high floor. If we can find something at SS and 3B offensively I will really like this team.

Yeah they did the opposite of what they should be doing. Should be looking for the three fist and driving only occasionally.

Just saw the box score. WTF. Lol

Somehow it seems the Rant hasn’t caught wind of today’s game yet. Hold steady, boys, we might get through this one with minimal casualties.
If we can get Knox healthy and play Brazile at the 5 we will reach another level.
Is anyone else’s X feed just full of conspiracies, fear mongering, and vague bullshite?

Alright boys, after considering most opinions here to go with the Honda, and watching just about every video of Ridglines being taken off road which makes me comfortable enough with its lower clearance, I’m going with the Ridgline.

Then the more and more you use it the more it learns you.
That is good from a stylistic standpoint. From a substantive standpoint, it has shown propensity to manipulate outputs to make them be more likely what you want, which is bad if you want the most objective accuracy.
quote:
Many of the issues mentioned here are true today. The wrong thinking is that it will take 5 or 10 years to meaningfully improve.
It's more like 5 or 10 months.
Maybe. But look at the internet. The internet seems to have gotten clunkier, more bloated, more filled with bullshite the longer it has existed. What’s to stop that same thing from happening to AI’s dataset and resulting outputs?
AI is only as reliable as the information it learns from and the prompts that guide it. If the underlying data is incomplete, biased, or poorly structured, the outputs will inevitably reflect those flaws. Likewise, weak or unclear prompts can produce confident but misguided results, regardless of how advanced the model is. Until datasets are cleaner and prompt systems are consistently well-engineered, human judgment remains essential to interpret, steer, and verify AI decisions. In short, AI may accelerate thinking, but it still needs someone at the wheel to ensure it’s heading in the right direction.

re: Maverick Tremor vs Ridgeline

I think the tremor has less towing capacity than the standard maverick.
Yes, significantly lower, but still good enough for me.

Wait until the Toyota Scout comes out.
I don’t think there’s been anything official on that. Plus I’m looking to buy used sometime in the next year.

I'd go with the Ranger or Colorado over the Maverick and Ridgeline.
Those cost $5k+ more and rear seats aren’t as comfortable. What I’m getting for the extra money I don’t need.
quote:
Is there a lift kit for a Ridgeline?
There is, but apparently due to the unibody construction it’s a little trickier than putting a lift in a traditional truck. I don’t love the idea of messing with the factory geometry. I have to think there’s a good engineering reason Honda doesn’t offer a lifted version.

If the perk of the maverick is ground clearance that you’ll never need and the perk of the ridgeline is something you’ll notice daily, that should make the decision for you.
Yeah, it just bugs me that for something even as simple as hopping a curb I’d be sweating in a Ridgeline and probably wouldn’t even do it with its lower clearance and no underbody protection.

Look into the Nissan Frontier Pro 4X.
If that had better rear seat comfort this would probably be my choice. The rear seat is going to be used, often enough on long drives, that the Ridgeline/Maverick’s better rear seat is a difference maker.
Maverick Tremor vs Ridgeline

If you were choosing a 2023 used "truck," would you go with a Maverick Tremor or a Honda Ridgeline? The Maverick Tremor has 9.4 inches of clearance, factory skid plates, and a 4-cylinder with AWD. The Ridgeline has a V6 with with AWD, but lower clearance at around 7.75 inches.
I’m not looking to tow more than a 15-foot jon boat, so towing capacity isn’t a deciding factor. The choice is basically more off-road capability and clearance with the Tremor versus a more-preferable V6 and a little more comfortable interior with the Ridgeline. Ridgeline is slightly pricier, but the difference is negligible. I'm not looking for serious off-roading, just want to be able to comfortably drive it like a "truck" when opportunities arise.
