There should be a map like the pop vs soda one for well vs rail for the cheap bar booze

I don’t think I’ve lived anywhere that doesn’t call it “rail” and yet, I see people here refer to it as “well drinks” more often than not.

Well just sounds weird, to me

Rail makes sense because it’s the bottles that are kept on the rail under the bar and not on the shelf behind the bar.

by stempke on Feb 4, 2012 10:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Because... it's... a hole?

I mean, hole doesn’t imply bottomless.

Well is by far the most common nomenclature, as all the responses seem to indicate. Actually, I think I know the real demarcation point. I would bet that nearly all high-end restaurants call it “rail”, and nearly all dive bars call it “well”, and the usage blends in between.

I guess to me a hole would imply that it's there's something cut out of something else

Simply being under the bar doesn’t make it a hole. I guess I’m obviously in the minority here, but I’ve almost never seen a bar that calls them “well drinks”

I rarely hear "rail" outside of Wisco

When I moved to Cali and the East Coast, I thought “well” was another level of drinks, better than rail, but worse than call.

by Nigel_T on Feb 5, 2012 9:20 AM EST up reply actions  

Never called that a rail either.

In ever bar I’ve ever worked (all in/around South LA) that’s called a speed rack.

I am not interested in your rational explanation

It’s seems like every year someone is bailing on a game at FSU for some purportedly rational reason and then scheduling Buffalo the same week. In fact, if the admin was smart, they’d schedule 6 non-conference home and home match-ups with good teams every other year. We’d end up with (at the very most) a full 12-game schedule and a couple million in buyout money to boot.

Game has been getting chippier since the start

There was a shot on goal, Miami save. Guptil goes after the puck with the stick (no big deal) gets shoved a little, he pokes the Miami player who shoves him. The two start jawing and showing. Brown and Webber are all wrapped up behind the ref trying to break up the Guptil scrum (somehow Knapp got involved too). Weber and Brown start wrassling, both helmets come off (I think they each push the others off), then Weber grabs Brown around the neck and takes him down. Somewhere on the way down or on the ice Weber throws a punch. They’re still wrestling when they stand up. Ref separates them a little, they’re still grabbing the others left shoulder but they’re still shoving and jawing. Then the fight breaks up.

In the first period, a Michigan player took a shot on goal well after the whistle.. a huge hockey no-no

The game got chippy from their, but nothing dirty per se. Then with about 5 minutes left in the game, a Michigan player was carrying the puck into the zone and got checked with what looked like an intentional elbow, but it could have been just a poorly timed check. It wasn’t obviously blatant, but still worth a 5 minute penalty. The very next possession, a Miami player got dropped with one of the most blatant elbows I’ve ever seen, resulting in a 5 minute major for Michigan and a game misconduct for Pateryn.

Then as the game was winding down, after the whistle a Miami player gave a Michigan player a slash and then all hell broke loose. It turned into a full blown brawl with multiple punches thrown. Weber (one of Miami’s better players) was not involved in any of it until the brawl, but he was caught on camera throwing a punch so he’ll be gone.

Neither team is innocent in the matter, but to put it on Weber specifically is ridiculous.

Thanks for clearing it up.

I don’t know how college hockey does fighting suspensions, but I’m guessing Pateryn might miss something, and at least the first person to throw a punch in the fight (retaliating for the slash) will as well.

by SpartanDan on Feb 4, 2012 10:23 PM EST up reply actions  

My reasoning

What Guptil did after the whistle was not penalty worthy or anything, you see players tap the goalies pads post saves all the time. Its not like he went and slashed the goalie. I do blame Guptil for the poke/slash on the player that shoved him, that was stupid.

I’m calling Weber a thug for the takedown and the punch after both lost their helmets. You want to scrum thats fine but throwing an opposing player down and then a punch is a thug move. Only time I would think this was okay was if it was something similar to Avs/Red Wings feud after Lemieux took out Draper. BTW Brown isn’t innocent in this, he deserved the penalty for fighting, and the DQ next week with it.

My issue with the refs was that last night they seemed to be very loosey goosey with Miami players making runs on Hunwick, which builds up some bad blood. This game you could see things were heading that way with all the choppiness, I just expect the referees to step in a little heavier and try to tone it down some. Add to that the weird “lets take a second look at the replay” thing in the third and the refs seemed like they didn’t know what they were doing.

by josejose50 on Feb 4, 2012 10:26 PM EST up reply actions  

I didn't see the game last night, so I have no idea if the were actually "taking runs at Hunwick" or just crashing the net

My guess would be the latter, as against Notre Dame, Hunwick flipped out and complained to the refs every time someone got within 2 feet of the crease. Hunwick’s a hot head. Teams are going to crash the net on him until he proves he won’t get rattled. It’s not the referees job to protect him

The referees looked at the replay to see if there was contact to the head or if the elbow was to the chest. That’s not only within their right to do so, it’s encouraged by the NCAA to determine if the penalty is 2 minutes or 5.

The replay fiasco wasn’t about the minor/major penalty distinction, it was on the Miami breakaway where at least 90% of the puck crossed the line but it was tough to tell if the whole thing made it.

I don’t drink them all that often, though, usually when I’m at a restaurant for lunch or a quick dinner and I don’t want or can’t drink alcohol. Refined sugar and I do not get along very well, so I limit my intake. Sugar substitutes are more forgiving, although probably killing me slowly.

although i at least had an equation containing alpha, whereas a classmate didn’t know what alpha was and just talked about phase diagrams instead. literally wrote on her exam “i’m afraid i don’t know anything about alpha”

A couple of my stories:

1) A student, in drawing a circuit diagram, used a multiplexer with “x” as the select input, “0” as data input 0, and “1” as data input 1. (For non-EEs: a multiplexer is basically like a railroad switch, connecting one of the data inputs – selected, appropriately enough, by the value of the select inputs – to the output. In this case, if x was 0, the output was 0; if it was 1, the output was 1. Could have deleted the multiplexer and just connected x directly, and somehow they didn’t see this.)

2) For a problem where the answer was a fairly simple (four or five gates) circuit, one student drew a completely impenetrable mess with a huge grid of wires 2 mm apart running horizontally and vertically. I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out if the circuit actually did the right thing before deciding “this is so overly complex that even if it does, it’s clearly by accident” (and we were allowed to deduct for excessive complexity). The drawing looked like a plate of spaghetti drawn in pencil.

3) This one’s more funny than sad. On a Boolean proof (given one Boolean expression, transform it into another by applying various identities (and stating which one is used at each step), thus proving their equivalence), someone got about halfway through before going wildly off the rails and ending up nowhere near the desired last form, then for the final step wrote in “magic” as the identity used.

But if they’re wrong and the ruling isn’t overturned, they get fined 500 bucks. I know this now because a guy just got bucked off at 7.87 seconds and the play by play guy asked if he should challenge. The color commentator said “It’s close by not close enough to risk 500 dollars”

Part of it is the potential to lose the rivalry

A bigger part of it is losing the exposure. College hockey has a bigger TV presence now than it’s ever had. Before the B1G conference became a thing, there were rumors that the CCHA and WCHA were working on TV deals with Versus and ESPNU respectively. Those deals are now dead because the marquee teams from those conferences have their own network.

Even in Michigan, losing all the in-state series (and there are a lot) hurts.

The B1G being as small as it is leaves a lot of room for non-conference play, though, so that may let us recover most of them. Right now we play 28 conference games; that will drop to 20, and the Showcase will be covered by those, so that frees up 10 games right there.

I’d like to see an expanded GLI with all of the Michigan schools (UM, MSU, Tech, Northern, Western, Ferris, Lake State, and I have a feeling I’m forgetting one), or set up a few home-and-home series.

I'm honestly not sure if it's going to be good or bad.

The problem before was that there weren’t any slots open in any conferences for new teams to join up; new teams automatically ended up in the AHA, which had no stability because it seemed like one of those teams would go under every couple years. I don’t like breaking up the existing conferences, but having a new conference means five more slots available in the “old” ones if somebody wants to make the jump.

I used to have both a PC and a Mac on my desk at work, as well as a PC laptop and a Powerbook.

They’re computers. Each of them is better at certain things than the other, and if you’re going to have to run Windows-only software anyway, the PC is superior.

Windows is better for gaming and technical work. Macs are probably the best for casual use, internet browsing and graphic design.

Macs are actually better for technical work, depending on what one means by "technical".

Running a Linux-based OS is pretty helpful there.

Conversely, PCs are far better for casual use IF one is already used to PC foibles as opposed to Mac foibles. I simply CANNOT just “play around on the internet” on a Mac, because my hands are used to doing things a certain way on a PC keyboard and mouse.

You don't need a KVM switch.

It would be useless then. If you have to switch the video with the KVM, you can just switch the keyboard and mouse too.

What I’ve got running here now is my desktop, and my laptop with a 24" plugged into its VGA port and configured as the primary display. Synergy allows me to pass between the monitors just like it would if I was running dual-head with an extended desktop, but the second desktop is actually its own environment since it’s the laptop.

We may be confusing each other.

It doesn’t require an external display; if you’re thinking of using it with multiple laptops and one KM, the only issue is that you’d have to keep all the laptops fully open (or pop the top if you decide you need to get at one you’ve closed).

If someone loves their Mac, more power to them. It’s a fine piece of equipment. The idea that it’s vastly superior, blah blah, is what gets me — especially when one considers that yes, the hardware does last longer… but costs so much (with the warranty, which I can guarantee you you’re probably going to need) that one could replace their PC twice during that span for the same amount of money anyway, so that’s not an argument either.

Not really

There’s not much rhyme or reason. Syracuse plays in the Dome so they can play whenever. Typically schools in the south start a week earlier than those in the north, but you also see some northern schools play games 2nd week of February too. For example, Colgate (!!! considering they’re in Lake Effect Territory) and Bucknell both play at home outdoors next week. But then you also have teams like Princeton who don’t start till the last week of February, even though every other school in the north has already started.

They should just start everything up 3rd weekend in February for everyone and go from there

It doesn’t have a separate descent and ascent stages. You don’t need those. What it does have are four auxiliary tanks on the lander that can be ejected, leaving you with two full tanks for the return. The last time I tried it I got within 5000m before I dumped the tanks. My second stage lasts until into the TLI burn.

You know what would be great? If they added a football game or some other athletic contest.

Much like those chaps at the Tournament of Roses have been known to do.

I just completed one of the most spectacular missions ever executed by the Kerbalan Space Program

I was testing a new lander with ascent and descent modules (didn’t work, need more fuel on the descent stage), and since I couldn’t land I did a burn to put me in a close approach to the Mun of 454 meters. I was flying BETWEEN the hilltops.

After we survived that and did a burn to get back to Kerbalan orbit. At 13,000 m I pointed the ship straight up and blasted until the fuel ran out, and pogo-sticked up to 280,000m before coming back down, popping the chute and landing safely.

I think even Bill and Bob enjoyed that flight. Well, maybe not the 454 meter approach…

The actual city limits of Juneau are as well.

I believe it’s the largest city, by land area, in the US. And it has half the population of the suburb I grew up in.

It looks like Juneau is third behind Sitka (2nd) and Yukatah (1st)

Jax is largest in contiguous area. Don’t know if it’s 4th on the list overall or not though.

Apart from the 632 penalties Man U seems to think they should have had by now.

(To be fair, they probably had a point about one of them.)
