QB Alex Moran-doza

Reminds me of the statements made about a certain team in the SEC 5-10 years ago. Hmmm

CONOR DALY

Still sporting the 24/25 CFP QZ The most iconic ball coach in America

Spurs down 15 with a 1:30 left just benched all their starters. People still discrediting the '24/25 Pacers

How much did Israel, oops, Fox News pay you to post this

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL If you've heard the phrase "those who can, do. Those who can't, teach" keep that in mind next time your teachers tell scary stories about carbs

@bob6sally @PurpyNFL My point is that they are antiquated, and should not return to modern vehicles. From a consumer and a technician standpoint Your tractor works because it internally has a wider tolerances and is built for low speed torque and long term reliability, not because it has a carb.

I promise you want your car to be a little bit percent computer

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL I didn't claim it worked bc it had a carb? You said put a carb on an I6 and it won't work. I told you mine works fine. Never said they weren't antequated, but you said they're easily messed up and need yearly tunes. I said that wasn't true. Ask any real mechanic

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL My 15 years of working on all types of engines applies. Carbs aren't scary. EFI is better, yes. You posited that carbs are trash bc maintenence and difficulty to work on. I said it's not true. I have a tractor from the 60s with an I6. Don't have problems with that either.

@bob6sally @PurpyNFL I've met your dad x20 and their general consensus on the topic is my original comment. Your engine is still running because it is a robust windsor. Go try your luck with carbureted 4 cyl or I6 of any other brand. Your anecdotal amount of knowledge does not apply here.

@durox @BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL If you look at efficiency strictly as mpgs. Yeah, you're right, it's not efficient. But it runs smooth, never gives me problems, and starts on first turn. That's efficient to me

@bob6sally @BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL that's a great looking engine, i'm glad it works and you like it too but that engine can not be called efficient, it wasn't when it left the factory...

@bob6sally @BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL ...so you have minimal experience w/ efficient and reliable engines :D

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL Cool man. My dad is a mechanic of 40yrs. Point being, you said you have to tune it yearly, I'm telling you you don't have to. Winter starts, two maybe three pumps, on the gas and it starts right up. Sure, it might be running lean, but it's not so lean that it's noticeable

@bob6sally @PurpyNFL Winter starts with a carb are a pain. Also winter changes the air density, so you've likely been running your truck super fucking lean. I went to a race car technical school who employees professionals who have been in the industry for decades.

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL Yeah, I'm also talking about consumer vehicles. Hence mentioning my Ford pickup truck from the late 70s. And that's also not true. The majority of them last well past 100k miles.

@bob6sally @PurpyNFL That is not remotely the same thing. We are talking about vehicles for consumers. Whether it be sedans, compacts, SUVS, etc. Carburetors for everybody would be a mess. Especially with newer motors it would just not work. Most of those old ass cars never reached over 100k miles.

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL You're teachers don't know anything about cars. I've built race motors with carbs and drive a truck from the late 70s with a carb. Only had to re-tune the race motor when we got a new batch of fuel, haven't re-tuned my truck in 3 years and starts right up and runs great

@bob6sally @PurpyNFL It is. My teachers told me many stories of guys who "could do it themselves" just for them to go back to a shop and have it tuned properly. Carburetors are neat, however they are not very efficient New cars are over-moduled however, thats fixable from the manufacturer standpoint

@BohunkAmerican @PurpyNFL That's just simply not true lol

@PurpyNFL For the boomers in the comments. No, EFI is 10x better than carburetors. Carburetors need tuned at least once a year and are very easy to screw up fixing.

😂😂😂

If congress can't survive on $174k because of inflation, what does he think the rest of us are doing?

NO. He raped an 11 year old girl!!!!

251 years ago this week, a 6'2" Vermont moonshiner with no military experience and no authorization from anyone captured the most strategically important fort in North America at dawn, and accidentally won the Revolutionary War before it had really started. It's May 1775. Lexington and Concord happened three weeks ago. The colonies have muskets but almost no cannon. The British, sitting in Boston, have plenty. Everyone knows that without artillery, the rebellion is over by autumn. Everyone also knows where to get artillery: Fort Ticonderoga. A stone star-fort on Lake Champlain, bristling with roughly 80 heavy guns. The British call it "the Gibraltar of America." It's the bottleneck of the entire continent. Whoever holds it controls the invasion route between Canada and New York. ​What the rebels don't know, but Ethan Allen has heard, is that "the Gibraltar of America" is, by 1775, mostly held together by moss. The walls are crumbling. The garrison is 48 men, many of them invalids and pensioners. The commander hasn't even been told a war started. Allen is not a soldier. He's a frontier land speculator who runs an armed militia called the Green Mountain Boys, originally formed not to fight the British, but to beat up New York surveyors trying to seize Vermont farms. New York has literally put a bounty on his head. He decides to go take the fort anyway. Halfway there, a man named Benedict Arnold shows up on horseback with a Massachusetts colonel's commission, waving paperwork, demanding command of the expedition. The Green Mountain Boys threaten to go home if Arnold is in charge. Allen and Arnold agree to "joint command," which mostly means walking next to each other in furious silence. They reach the lake at midnight. Problem: they have 200 men and exactly two leaky boats. By 3 AM only 83 have made it across. Dawn is coming. Allen decides to attack with what he has, meaning roughly 1 American for every half-cannon inside the fort. ​A lone British sentry sees them coming through the wicket gate, levels his musket at Allen's chest, and pulls the trigger. The musket misfires. He runs. The Americans pour in. Total resistance to the capture of British North America's most important inland fortress: one wet flintlock. Allen pounds on the officers' quarters with the flat of his sword. Lt. Jocelyn Feltham stumbles out half-dressed, asking by what authority Allen is there. Allen, by his own later account, roars: "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!" (Other witnesses remembered the wording as substantially more profane. The Continental Congress, for its part, had no idea any of this was happening.) Captain Delaplace, the actual commander, emerges still buttoning his trousers and surrenders the fort, its 78 cannons, its garrison, and roughly 30,000 musket flints without a shot fired by either side. Casualties: zero. Time elapsed: about ten minutes. But here's the part that actually changed history. Those cannons sat at Ticonderoga for six months until a 25-year-old, 280-pound Boston bookseller named Henry Knox, who had learned artillery from books in his own shop, volunteered to go get them. In the dead of winter, Knox and his men dragged 59 cannons weighing 60 tons across 300 miles of frozen rivers, the Berkshires, and unbroken snow, on 42 ox-drawn sleds. One gun fell through the ice of the Hudson. They fished it out and kept going. It took 56 days. On the night of March 4, 1776, those cannons were hauled silently up Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston Harbor. The British woke up on March 5 to find every ship in the harbor and every redcoat in the city under the muzzles of guns that, six months earlier, had belonged to them. Eleven days later, the British evacuated Boston. They would never hold it again. An unauthorized raid by 83 backwoodsmen, led by a wanted man and a future traitor, against a fort defended by a captain in his pajamas, became the artillery that drove the British army out of the largest city in the American colonies. Easiest W in American history. Possibly the most consequential ten minutes of the 18th century.
