Can't say I blame you for avoiding that sea of humanity LOL. Would be cool to say you were present I suppose, but would also be a nightmare logistically. Not a Falcons fan, but I am a lifelong Huskies supporter. I think it was a brilliant pick. This guy would have been much higher rated in most drafts, and probably should have won the Heisman, if it wasn't such a biased format towards certain hyped up things. I would argue the only player who will be better long term MIGHT be Maye. His thing that scared teams is prior injuries. If he stays healthy, Cousins may not be long for starting. Maybe even by this year, but like next I would think. He fits the ball in anywhere, with ridiculously good touch, throws receivers open (something Williams and Daniels are NOT that good at), and can make every throw needed in the NFL, rocket arm. Time will tell, but I see Penix being a top 5 NFL QB, and the falcons are gonna love this dude. Just my admittedly slightly biased opinion, but I think he IS that good. Enjoy.

The pick itself aint bad, I am just scratching my head with the financials for the Falcons.

They are giving a lot of money to Cousins for the next couple of years with a no trade clause, that makes no sense to me, but I am not a NFL manager.

I honestly rather see Penix play than Cousins, but that is my biased opinion of not liking Cousins.

Hello friends, happy Friday to everyone.

I hope that everyone in enjoying the NFL draft.

It is right on my backyard, but I honestly do not want to go be in downtown Detroit right now.

Is there any Falcons fans that can educate me on their first round pick?

Have a great weekend everyone, mine should start great, we got a round tomorrow morning, so I am excited.

Good morning Friends, I hope everyone is doing well today, and having a great week so far.

I understand all the requirements about testing. However, I tried updating my user image and it's showing an error (something went wrong, unknown error, error 200) after I resized the file which should be compliant.

My bigger question is, I am left handed. I understand I could be selected to test something non-dexterity based, but are the clubs and putters themselves ever left-handed or are demo clubs all right handed?

A lot of the testing posts specifically for clubs, will say if they are right handed only or not.

The same thing for geographical limitations.

It is not something that MGS chooses or dictates, those limitations come directly from the oem.

With my previous experiences, all testing items are new.

So it would be the same you would get from a store if you purchase it new.

So as a left handed, you can definitely test clubs where the oem offers left handed sets.

Bingo!!!  You nailed it!  Not just patio furniture,  but 2 sets! Plus a gazebo, plus a new canvas for the overhang umbrella, and the gazebo even came with 2, 50lb bags of sand for the corner anchors. 

I still have to replace the umbrella canvas and fill the sandbag weight bags,  but everything else is finished!  Sure hope she's happy,  because my fingertip pads are shot from using the micro Allen key they provided to put 250 screws through every bracket, leg, post, and top!

It looks great, and ouch for your fingertips, I hate those Allen keys, I try using my drill as much as I can, I even go as far as cutting Allen keys into bits to use with my drill, if I don't have the same size already.

Question do you think when you enter the chance to be a tester you have a chance at actually being picked? I will say I don’t believe I will ever be picked, I enter just for the **** of it. But never expect to be picked. What are your thoughts.

Welcome to the MGS family.

I can see that you are pretty new here.

Being picked is not the luck of the draw or favoritism, it takes participation in the forum.

More than anything testing opportunities are given to members who can reliability deliver an unbiased feedback and honest review, by just applying for a testing opportunity, you are not giving the mods any information on how passionate you might be, nor if you will follow through with a good review.

A lot of people come here to seek information and recommendations for everything from golf clubs, apparel technology and many more topics.

More important than any testing here, it is the community, the people who you connect virtually and end up becoming friends, some you end up meeting in real life too.

Now you need to remember, the mods will use a lot of data to help narrow down the list of potential testers, participation being one of the driving metrics.

If you just give it a try and keep participating, sooner than later you will seriously be considered for some testing.

On the meantime enjoy the forum and have fun.

The sprint was a lot more exciting than I expected.

I am amazed how Lewis held on to second.

Too bad for Norris, but overall it was good seeing some fighting between the couple of first cars.

 

[Formula 1]

Holy cow, I just watched the highlights of the Qualifier.
Q3 was crazy.

Can Norris hold on that p1 for the sprint?

 

[Formula 1]

This weekend will be another late night, or early morning depending how you look at it, the race starts at 3 am my time.

I am interested to see how China will play out, and even more to see if Ferrari can bring some updates to help with their race pace.

I think it is a forgone conclusion that it is Max's and RB's championship to lose, but still there is a long way to go.

I also think I have found my first tattoo inspiration.

Qualifying was ... Something. Nice to see Yuki make Q3 infront of his home crowd!

It was indeed fun to see him up on Q3.

Also Noris on p3 and Piastri on P6, have me feeling good for McLaren.

So, I  did not remember that I was drunk shopping on temu during the Australian GP.

This just showed up.

I am playing mine until the golf gods claim it back to the course, usually it is the water to the right of the fairway.

Good morning friends.

I hope everyone is gearing up for a good weekend.

I got up early and took my son for breakfast.

This was our sunrise on the way back home.

We are supposed to get a little bit of rain and maybe snow flakes, but still a good day so far.

Maybe the firmware update helped?  Cause I'm having some shots not register

Mine is up to date, and no recent issues.

I do hate how small that hitting box is on the screen, that being said, I am sure that I have hit balls outside of it and it read the shot.

Is there any way to enlarge the yellow "hitting" box when you're doing a range or practice session?  It's really small area 

I have not find a way to make it bigger as of yet.
But honestly after I few tries I have not tried to change the hitting box on the app and view.

 

Rapsodo own video does not show how to change it, so it might be a fixed feature.

I'll admit, in terms of Alonso's penalty, my initial reaction was confusion.

Reading the Steward's decision though... I'm surprised 20s was all he got. You can't slow down early, speed back up, and then slow down again for the corner.

@fezzerino yeah after reading their reasoning it makes sense 

I just watched a video related to the incident, and it does cover a fair bit of the data, and the justification with the penalty.

Of course there will be tons on people who will agree on disagree with the penalty, and both sides will make compelling arguments, at the end of the day Aston Martin has accepted the penalty, just losing two points with this incident.

I know that Peter Windsor did say something about it and did not agree with the penalty, his justification is that it always happened and it never been an issue, he mentioned Senna in 87 with that break testing against Mansell, but that was 34 years ago, there is a lot things that drivers got away in back then that are way too dangerous.

This was a scary crash for George.

Did anyone catch the replay of max’s brake exploding when he was entering the pits?

I saw that puff of black smoke.
Just a complete failure of the brakes.

I mean he was complaining from the brakes not biting on earlier FPs.

You can see at some replays, where the wheel cover falls off, it seems that all it was is that the brake was stuck since the starting line, which in a way is impressive to see how much he was able to drive.
As well as how fast that car was still at the beginning stages, I mean the Sainz pass on lap 2 was great, but it could be a completely different story without the RB brake issue.
