List for the past 3 winter Olympics until I get to USA, easy to find details for them 2022 Beijing: Norway with 37 (16G), Germany with 27 (12G), USA with 25 (8G) 2018 Pyeong Chang: Norway 39 (14G), Germany 31 (14G), Canada 29 (11G), USA 23 (9G) 2014 Sochi: Russia 32 (12G), USA 28 (9G) Current total: Norway 33 (15), Italy 25 (9G), USA 24 (7G) So far USA is 1 total medal, and 2 golds, off from its last 3 Winter Olympics average - 25.3 (8.67G)

USA now has 29 medals and another one guaranteed in Hockey so USA will finish with at least 30 medals. This will make this the most successful Winter Olympics for the USA in a very long time.

re: ESPN: Top 100 college QBs this century

Posted by UAinSOUTHAL on 2/20/26 at 6:32 pm to Diseasefreeforall

McCarron at #76 list with 3 National championships is a joke. He is top 5 minimum of QB’s post 2000 and the only one with 3 nattys.

The fact #1 is a guy that didn’t win shite in college tells you everything you need to know.

Top 5 should be Tebow, Leinart, McCarron, Burrow, Young

re: MLB Pitching: changing speeds ever going to replace a 4 seam fastball clocking 100 MPH?

Posted by UAinSOUTHAL on 2/17/26 at 9:00 pm to Paul Allen

Greg Maddux tooped out at 92 mph but he could place the ball wherever he wanted and change speeds at will.
I would take a Greg Maddux over anyone who can throw 100+

The narrative is Bama is down.

We got beat by the National Champions. It not like we lost to the lowest ranked team in the playoffs. Yes we have issue but we know what the are and are bringing in some guys to address that. CKD needs to clean house with the coaching staff which doesn’t seem like he is doing so that is worrisome but not the sky is falling like the media is making it out to be. We had a good recruiting class and portal pickups.

The moon stuff is easily debunkable. All you have to do is look up the LRR experiments left behind on the surface. They are still in use today and can only be explained by us landing and placing them there

“The LRR (Laser Ranging Retroreflector) experiment is a groundbreaking, ongoing scientific effort using mirror arrays left on the Moon by Apollo missions (and Soviet Lunokhod rovers) to precisely measure the Earth-Moon distance by bouncing powerful lasers off them and timing the return signal. This incredibly precise measurement (down to millimeters) allows scientists to study lunar orbit, Earth's rotation, continental drift, and test Einstein's theory of relativity, confirming the Moon is receding from Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, with data still being collected today. ”

I drive early mornings when it’s dark…still crazy to me when I see brights coming my way …80% don’t shut theirs off. Even after multiple flashes.

Most are not on hi beams. All these new cars with leds are blinding people. It doesn’t help that new Chevy and Ford trucks have their lights mounted so high on the fender that the shine directly in most people’s eyes that are driving cars. They seem to be the worst offenders

I have digital smart lights in my S-Class, They were deactivated from
factory for the USA. I had them recoded a they are far superior to any Auto high beam system. The lights act just like projectors and can dim by pixel. Not only does my lights show turn by turn images but they will autodim and move based on the on coming car and only dim the light shining at the car. They are amazing and hope all cars have them in the future

If it's a gated manual they are appreciating rapidly. I read about a guy who bought a used one for $150,000 then sold it last year for $570,000 because it was a gated manual. I remeber seeing a used Countach for $75,000 in the late 90's. Now that's a $750,000 car.

Aventadors never came in manual. Only Murcialagos up to LP670’s. You can get a conversion kit for Murci’s hints about $100k+.

Do you get prescribed for type2 or weight loss? Most insurance providers will only cover for type2.

I take Ozempic for type2 and it has been a game changer. Lost 60lbs and my A1C has been 5.4 for the last 2 years.

re: "Protection Package Fee" on Used Vehicle Purchase

Posted by UAinSOUTHAL on 1/17/26 at 3:30 pm to Doug_H

Walk away to negotiate it to zero. I had it in a vehicle I purchased recently and it involves stuff like ceramic coat, nitrogen, rain X by on windshield plus serial numbers on different parts like headlights and fenders in case you ever have stolen parts. It’s all a scam. On the car I bought I had matte paint so ceramic coat can’t even be done. I was able to get them to take the whole package off. If they don’t remove it walk away and find a dealership that is honest.
