Are You a Hostile Punctuator???

Before you write off punctuation as little more than a dot, a line, or some combination of both, consider: A period can end a conversation—or an entire relationship. One too many question marks can make the recipient ask themselves if they really want to keep talking to you. Forgetting an exclamation point can spark the wrong kind of excitement."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Harry / Marietta GA

I read about a poor guy who had to have his semicolon removed. Afterwards, he had to punctuate into a bag for the rest of his life.
ahem.
back to more erudite matters.
EDIT: oops I did it wrong.
That'll teach me to have this thread and the Post a Picture thread both open at the same time.
I am going to leave this here, like the dead pirates in the first Carrots of the Pirabbean, you know? As a reminder, and as a warning to you all.

Speaking of the NFL, I've been a Dallas suck a$$ fan since I had my picture taken with Chuck Howley when I was just a wee tot.....well for the second time in my lifetime, I've taken a hike. I did not watch a single cowpoke game this last season.
The other day I was wearing a #33 Tony Dorsett jersey, Ayesha asked me, who's that?? I said, he was a "real" cowboy! I've also kept #22 Bullet Bob Hays, #22 Emitt Smith, #12 Roger Staubach But have lost any of the current player from the last 8 years or so.Marantz AV10-Emotiva ERC3-Denafrips Venus-Panasonic UB820-AudioQuest Power Quest 707-Emotiva DR3, DR2, XPA2, XPA6-Focal Kanta No2, Sopra Center-PolkAudio RTiA9, RTiA3, LSiM 702F/X-Epik Empire-SVS SB5000-11.3 -

Three letters - G P S… Either leave the chains in place, or install GPS chips in each end of the ball. It’s almost as though the NFL selects the absolute worst way to “improve” the game at every turn.Question regarding GPS chips in each end of football and advancement/placement accuracy:
If the player with the football is "DOWN" on the ground after a play and the football lands parallel to the yard lines, doesn't GPS in each end actually show the ball's advancement shorter by 1/2 of the ball's diameter?
Isn't the same argument true if the football is in a players hands parallel to the yard lines when the player is called "DOWN" by the referee?
At the goal line, GPS in each end of the football could result in a non-touchdown call although the outer most diameter of the football is touching the goal line.
Now, think of the football not parallel and not perpendicular to the yard lines when a player with the football is called "DOWN" either on the ground or by the referee.
It's a complicated mathematical problem due to the multiple places on the football's outer shell that could be more forward than the GPS chips at the ends.
The GPS chips in the ends of the football work only when one end of the football is more forward than any other location on the football's outer shell which only occurs when the football is perpendicular to the yard lines. We know a football is never always perpendicular to the yard lines when a player with it is "DOWN".
I am just saying it's more complicated than it appears.
Most importantly, there is a current fan issue/perception of how a play is going and the game is going that is certainly involved in using the camera or GPS chips. Fans can see the chains on the sidelines which gives us insight on the progress of a particular play and the game in each or our minds. Let's hope that part of the game is not ignored.
I like using the chains best!! I don't believe taking the simplest human element out of it solves anything."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Harry / Marietta GA -

I get where you are coming from, and it does seem like that would be an issue, but… remember that there would be two (2) chips in the ball - one at each end. A (fairly) simple math algorithm plotting the two chips’ orientation and relation to each other, relative to the pre-programmed azimuth of the field orientation would net the absolute position of the ball at any given moment. Added to this the constant of the ball’s dimensions in any axis, and you could even solve for absolute position, in all three dimensions, relative to any point on the field. These computations could even be tracked in real time, letting you know the maximum forward position of the ball at any point during a play, even completely obscured under a pile….“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

That was pretty much my guiding principle when we lived in "the Bay Area" and I was navigating on the Streets of San Francisco. At least, until I hit Market Street.

Why not put another in the center, would that help anything? -

They have removed almost almost left turns around here, you have to turn right, do a u turn and then proceed- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Yeah.....so instead of waiting at one light? You have the added pleasure of going the wrong way, only to stop at another.

Truth be told, having been t boned doing a left turn 10 years ago... I actually stopped doing most left turns and was doing right turns/u turns for a while before they made the changes- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

In the Memphis area people turn left regardless of the light. And from any
lane as well. They're all trying to kill me."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -

After further thought, it actually becomes 3 lights....not 2. How lovely.
