Beatin' and Bangin'

[BarryBobPosthole]

they are flat trading some paint at Bristol tonight.

bKB

[No-till Boss]

I turned it on and you're right, they can't even get up to speed without a crash !

[BarryBobPosthole]

Bristol is 800 HP roller derby.

bKB

[No-till Boss]

It's crazy wild right now....

[Captain]

Yep. They are doing some driving. At least SOME of them are....
Good run.

[Captain]

This stop should take them to the end. Will be a shoot out.
I bet the crunched fenders ain't over.

[BarryBobPosthole]

i wish they'd go back to Rockingham and drop a mile and a halfer. short track is the bread and butter of NastyCar.

bKB

[No-till Boss]

Drop a road course ! I like restrictor plate racing .

[Captain]

Agreed. The Rock was a great race. I go by the track all the time they still have events there and a lot of practice. it would be nice to see them drop one of them road courses and run Rockingham again.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I think they dropped them because of the limited seating. these days, a full house would be a welcome sight.

bKB

[No-till Boss]

Gordon is the new Dave Marcus ......

[Captain]

Gordon is the new Dave Marcus ......

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel..... :D

[No-till Boss]

Can Happy get him ???

[Thumper]

Those last 50 laps took some real driving up front. Lagano is a smart little racer and got'er done. Bristol is one crazy race ... ALWAYS ... I love that track!

[Captain]

It's so small it's like racing in a fishbowl

[BarryBobPosthole]

at one time, they had plans to play a Tenn U football game there pretty much for the sole purpose of breaking the record for football attendance. i don't think they ever did that did they?

BKB

[Captain]

Next fall Virginia tech plays Tennessee. Race was pretty good, tough coming in 2nd... Again

[Captain]

Glad you checked in! And WELCOME. I was helping Y'all all I could from the easy chair last night. :D Good job over the wall by the way! I was watching ya'
Good luck at the lady in black.
Be careful and don't listen to any of these dufes except me.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Welcome, Mr Nuke!

I take it you know Captain. that ain't exactly a glowing reference, but we'll not hold that against you.

bKB

[Captain]

Welcome, Mr Nuke! I take it you know Captain. that ain't exactly a glowing reference, but we'll not hold that against you. bKB

Hey!!!!!

[Thumper]

Welcome Mr. Nuke. We'll try REAL hard not to hold it against you about knowing the Captain and all. It'll be tought, but we're disciplined enough to pull it off. Your profile is basically blank, but I'm assuming you're Mr. Meredith? :confused:

Oh .... AND a Harvick fan?

[Buckrub]

1:52 a.m.

Clearly, you're either kin or influenced by Cappy! :)

And welcome!

[Captain]

1:52 a.m. Clearly, you're either kin or influenced by Cappy! :) And welcome!

That was 2:52 our time. He was prolly at the airport on the way back from Bristol.

[Buckrub]

Bristol has an airport?

::::::Dang. Uptown!

Archer probably donated the money for it..........

[Captain]

Welcome Mr. Nuke. We'll try REAL hard not to hold it against you about knowing the Captain and all. It'll be tought, but we're disciplined enough to pull it off. Your profile is basically blank, but I'm assuming you're Mr. Meredith? :confused: Oh .... AND a Harvick fan?
Did you READ Thumper?
Mr. Meredith? Where did that come from???
I posted above I was WATCHING him last night "over the wall" As in on pit lane, as in part of the crew....
My SIL teaches at UT, he's a brain with legs and arms. The only wall he goes over is the one to the groceries. :D
See what I was talking about Mr Nuke. I'm the brain trust of this outfit.

[Thumper]

Oh, got it. We're on the road and I'm trying to catch up here. Reading and typing on a dang phone while bouncing down the highway ain't my favorite thing to do. (Lynn's driving) What threw me is you said you would ask your SIL about the game and when Nuke posted, he quoted P-hole's question. I'll go back to being a passenger until I can get to a real computer! ��

[Buckrub]

Oh.......you in one of those Chevies that has Wi-Fi?

[Captain]

Oh.......you in one of those Chevies that has Wi-Fi?

Hahaahahaha Thump in a Chebbie! You know he's in a want to be Chevy, he's in a toy car.

[No-till Boss]

Oh.......you in one of those Chevies that has Wi-Fi?

I have that for the first time in my GMC truck, and I like it better than I thought I would.

I have a new name for GMC's = good man car !

[Thumper]

No Chebbie for me. Been there, done that, then I got smart. ;)

Sitting at a Chinese restaurant with friends right now getting ready to stuff my pie-hole with dim sum!

[BarryBobPosthole]

I'll go back to being a passenger until I can get to a real computer! ��

You must be on the way to someone's house who has a Mac then.

BKB

[Captain]

You must be on the way to someone's house who has a Mac then. BKB

:D

That was a Goodern!!

[Buckrub]

So, then your Toyota has Wi-Fi, does it, Jimmy??????

[Thumper]

So, then your Toyota has Wi-Fi, does it, Jimmy??????

I've seen the commercial. I'm just waiting for you to ask a third time. ;)

Heck, why pay $5 for every 200 MB (plus on-star charges) when I have unlimited I-net through my phone? ;)

For areas you don't have good service ......

[Buckrub]

He's a city boy. He doesn't go where folks ain't.

[Thumper]

Even running 48-states and Canada in my truck, it was EXTREMELY rare for me not to have service (Verizon) ... but if I ever did, texting always worked for some silly reason. I never could figure that out ... I'd have no bars and "no service" would be plastered across my screen, but I could always text. Anyway, I'll skip all those charges just to guarantee I'll have i-net when I don't have it once every 13 years. ;)

[Buckrub]

The SMS system runs on a separate bandwidth than voice........and takes far less of it to function.

That is no comparison or reasoning of why you'd run Wi-Fi in your automobile ......

[Thumper]

I guess payin' for sumpin' I never need I suppose. Or payin' monthly for sumpin' I "might" need every 10 years or so. How's that? ;)

The big selling point in their commercials is so the kids can play their internet based video games in the back seat and not pester mom and dad. (spoiled brats!) :D

Which means if you lived in Thailand and was responsible for all those children you spawned over there, you'd have a Chevy with wifi

[Captain]

The chillin' he spawned over there are prolly grandparents themselves now. ;)

[Thumper]

Bite me ... bof'a youse! ;)

[No-till Boss]

Well, Good hunting won't load at the lake. Now that's not a big thing, but it'a a thing. I've also noticed, when I'm in a tight spot farming, even tho I have good radar, I can switch to my truck hot spot and get a better view. What I have now is free, not sure what I'll have do when it runs out, but I can see some advantages of it.

[Thumper]

I can see where some could use/need it. I'm just givin' you buttheads a hard time. The way I understand it, you have to pay the On-Star subscription and the wi-fi runs an extra $5 for every 200 MB. I believe you get something like a 90-day free trial with the new car. We have the same on our new 'Yota with Sirius ... sumpin' we don't really need.

[Captain]

I ain't gonna go without my Sirus radio.

[Thumper]

We have elebenty-bazillion radio stations to choose from between the Tampa & Orlando markets ... there ain't much we can't pick up for free. Besides, I really don't listen to the radio much while driving ... if anything, I'll slide in a CD.

You don't get Willies Roadhouse with all the REAL country music. And I like to be able to drive from here to wherever and never have to change a channel!

I like the Highway, my wife likes the Message.

[Thumper]

I don't listen to hick music. ;)

[No-till Boss]

They probably have a Barry Manilow channel .......

[Captain]

Thump is more of a Yanni and Celine fan.

[Thumper]

NTB, do you have your own stool, or do you need to use Cappy's when he's finished? ;)

[Buckrub]

I travel.

The Cardinals play baseball.

'Nuff said.

[Thumper]

GAWD!! That's enough of a reason not to have it right there! ;)

[Buckrub]

Yes.

And my reception is just that much better, knowing that you aren't involved even as a customer!

[Thumper]

Contaminating MY air with baseball broadcasts! Sheeesh! ;)

[Buckrub]

Speaking of contaminating someone's air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain]

Two best channels on the dial, Willies roadhouse and the NASCAR channel.

[mrnuke]

Hey everyone. Yeah, I got to know Captain a little while ago and he told me to check this place out. My fun job is the 2nd fueler for Kevin

[Captain]

Mr. Nuke as you can tell we really have a hard time staying on topic! And basically this place has no rules other than we try to be respectful.
Glad you showed up!
Lots of good Folks here from the U.S. And Canada. We make good friends here from all over and travel and do a little hunting and fishing together from time to time.
Just jump in anytime but realize most the dufes are crazy.

[Buckrub]

I have no idea what that means, but welcome! Cappy is fine folks. DO NOT TELL him that I said so. He has a big head at times.

My fun job is doing nothing. And I never start that before 10:00 a.m.!

[Captain]

He put fuel in Kevin's #4 car during the race Bucky.... Go back to sleep and watch that boring Base-a-ball.

[No-till Boss]

Welcome Nuke, love the diversity that you bring to this board . Sounds like a cool job.....

[mrnuke]

Welcome Nuke, love the diversity that you bring to this board . Sounds like a cool job.....

Main job is selling mortgages. I'm not big time yet!

[Buckrub]

What happened to Kevin's first 3 cars?

And I was awake, but I started thinking of circles, and circles, endless circles, and I fell asleep!

[No-till Boss]

Main job is selling mortgages. I'm not big time yet!

We argue / discuss everything here but hunting, or we haven't since I came aboard .....lol Welcome !

[Thumper]

Nuke ... if you REALLY need to know anything about the site or anyone here, just ask me. You won't get a straight answer form anyone else ... trust me on that one. ESPECIALLY that Captain dude ... he's pretty much clueless. (I think it might be that "cherry juice" he drinks from time to time) ;)

[Nandy]

Next fall Virginia tech plays Tennessee. Race was pretty good, tough coming in 2nd... Again

Soo, That one ^^^^^ knows this one vvvvvv....

Glad you checked in! And WELCOME. I was helping Y'all all I could from the easy chair last night. :D Good job over the wall by the way! I was watching ya'
Good luck at the lady in black.
Be careful and don't listen to any of these dufes except me.

And I let him in.... Sorry folks, Im a lousy admin.... :crazy

Just Kidding, welcome MrNuke.


but if I ever did, texting always worked for some silly reason. I never could figure that out ... I'd have no bars and "no service" would be plastered across my screen, but I could always text.

Well, not quite accurate but close bucky.... To keep it simple, SMS(text) and Voice (legacy, not VoLTE or Ipuss) runs in the same network, the difference is that SMS is a digital service over analog so, your text will need a second of GSM signal to transfer it contents to your provider and vice versa. In other words, you type your text, hit send, there is no signal so phones puts the message in standby, faint signal comes, phones do handshake, send a bunch of bits in half a second, you loose signal 2 seconds later but you never noticed all of that happening. Signals, Specially low signals as GSM can bounce off stuff as tree leaves and even airplanes. Once we go to VoLTE and the GSM/GPRS networks are turned off this wont happen much and when you are out, YOU ARE OUT of signal....


I ain't gonna go without my Sirus radio.

Wife is addicted to it, I am on the other spectrum, I like it but to me is not worth the money... However, since she pays for it I have their app to listen to Rumbon ch 767 when I get nostalgic. I have a vast Caribbean music library but I don't nearly have it all...


I like the Highway, my wife likes the Message.

Wife listen more of the time to the 80's, 90's, The highway (she is a converted Yankee) Y2Kountry and some metalica like station... I do comedy central most of the times or the 80's on 8.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Heh heh heh heh...he said I Puss.

BKB

no, I say Ipuss, get of the bong man!!!!! lol!

Dude! Only ATT is running GSM!!

[Nandy]

No, not only AT&T, actually, almost 99% of Europe uses GSM and the rest uses CDMA(verizon, sprint, etc). However, while the innerwork of the 2 are different the result (as far as text and voice) is the same, one 3 seconds of signal will be more than enough to transmit the packets. the main difference is with cdma you cant browse the net while you talk and GSM allows you too. However, that is not a point of contention here.

[Buckrub]

Europe? Like yeah, but who cares????

Back to the original statement.............text doesn't use the same bandwidth as voice, and takes less of it, so it sometimes works when voice doesn't.

[Buckrub]

And technically.........there's really only TDMA and CDMA.

GSM is just a type of TDMA.

[No-till Boss]

Europe? Like yeah, but who cares????

Back to the original statement.............text doesn't use the same bandwidth as voice, and takes less of it, so it sometimes works when voice doesn't.

Something odd along those lines, my truck's On Star is Verizon, my in dash intellcast (text messages on the screen) is ATT. Why would GMC use both ???

[Buckrub]

They don't. They use OnStar, which uses Verizon in your area apparently. OnStar made that decision, not GMC.

[Nandy]

GSM is a type of TDMA, you are correct, not sure how that matters.
Read your own statement:

And technically.........there's really only TDMA and CDMA.

GSM is just a type of TDMA.
What both of these do is have multiple services in the same radio bandwidth. The difference is how they do it, but it is still the same radio frequency. Yes, sms does not use the same amount of frames as voice but that is not what you said but probably what you meant.


Europe? Like yeah, but who cares????
CDMA was developed in Europe, TDMA in North America, yet most europe uses TDMA.... I let you draw your conclusion.


Back to the original statement.............text doesn't use the same bandwidth as voice, and takes less of it, so it sometimes works when voice doesn't.

Again, as I explained before, voice and sms works in the same CDMA or TDMA radio signal. The difference is sms takes lot less time to send a 10 lines text with 500 words total than what it takes for a person to:
notice their phone has signal.
dial the number.
the other person pick up the phone.
you say your 500 words.
Finish the call...

All of the above without interruption due to spotty signal....

[BarryBobPosthole]

y'all need to call each other and work this out.

or get a room.

bKB

[Nandy]

Why? you jealous im taking buckys "bkb" attention away?
:trainwreck

[Buckrub]

He could text me about it.

But I'd probably read it too fast.

[Thumper]

Can you imagine how boring those two would be at a party? :D

[Captain]

And Bucky says he don't read NASCAR threads. He's posted more on this one than anyone. ;)

[Thumper]

This was a NASCAR thread??

Oh yeah! I had to go back a few pages ... I'd forgotten! ;)

[Buckrub]

It was?

I do NOT hate Nascar for you guys. Let me rephrase. I do not hate that you guys like Nascar. I don't belittle your love of it, nor interject smarmy little remarks about your comments on it. I am happy that you have something on TV to watch that you like. I'm not against Nascar, or wish it would go away. I simply do not see the attraction. So I quietly don't watch it.

I do enjoy discussing a lot of different things, and try NOT to be so Chauvinistic towards only the things I like, and I don't belittle the hobbies and likes of others. Chatting on an internet chat site is like going to a Restaurant. My wife always says "I don't care" when I ask her where she wants to go. But she DOES care! It's ME that doesn't care. There is not a restaurant in America that I can't go into and find something on the menu I'll eat. NOT HER! She has many places that she can't eat there at all. Yet she won't pick. Me, I can find something to eat everywhere. I like a lot of things! Just like chatting.......I can talk politics, or baseball, or football, or fishing, or hunting, or travel, or guns, or houses, or cars, or technology, or TV shows, or anything. But on Nascar, I just don't have anything to say because I have zero knowledge.

(All that was for Mr. Nuke, by the way!!! haha)

[Thumper]

Dang! Stop-it! You're starting to sound likie a politician!

BTW - Baseball sucks big weenies! ;)

[Cards01]

This week it is on too late... dang west coast trips...

[Buckrub]

Amen to that. I tried last night but couldn't make it. Just too old! :)

[Cards01]

Yep me too... watch some and then wait and see the outcome the next morning...

[Nandy]

Am I in a nascar post!!!!???? Ewww! I just came here because i was checking on MrNuke....
Im like bucky, you guys can have it, i dont care for it, about the only thing from the south that I dont care for...
