Meta: for anyone using Privacy Badger, I had to move the slider for podbean.com to "block cookies" instead of "block everything" in order for the player to appear. Kind of weird - never had to do that before.

Important to note that you should download uBlock Origin, not just uBlock. The project forked a couple of years ago and the orginal author is in control of the uBlock Origin product. I think most searches will point you to uBlock Origin, but just be careful...

IANAP, but it sounds like basically the linkage between the mechanism that controls the right rear elevator and the elevator itself was damaged, so when the pilot tried to put it in position for takeoff, it didn't move.

The elevators are the pieces on the tail of the plane that control the pitch of the plane. These things:

1 year 20 weeks ago This doesn't necessarily

This doesn't necessarily solve the problem of determinig the exact position of the ball when the runner is ruled down, but kind of a tangential thought I had as a result of last weekend.

Why don't the referees always spot the ball at the nearest yard marker after a first down? That way, the line to gain is always precisely known.

For example, the ball is spotted at exactly the 25 in overtime (the edge of the line closet to midfield), so we know the line to gain is exactly the side of the 15 closest to midfield. So why not, after a first down at the opponent's 47.233458 yard line, move the ball back  to exactly the 47, so the line to gain is exactly the 37. What difference does the .233458 yards make? That spot is mostly a guess on the linesman's part anyways, right? This would at least eliminate the need for chains, no?

Obviously there are edge cases near the goal line where this wouldn't apply.

I can't be the first person to think this and I'm sure I haven't thought it through enough. Tell me why I am wrong.
