Thanks for the ideas; I’ve read the rule, so I “know” what the definition is, but the man - real life application of the rule is confusing as hell :). It seems like this was a missed call, but since even the receiver rolled with it, I guess they either know something I don’t, or maybe this is just younger players in a preseason game. Just have to keep watching and trying to figure it out.
I looked pretty hard at a rechargeable pen style soldering iron, but was convinced by more experienced users and reviewers to get a Hakko. I got the Hakko FX888D. The colors make it look like a toy; believe me, it is not. It’s wild how fast it changes temperature, both hotter and cooler: it cools off almost as fast as it heats, which is pretty fantastic. Tons of options for replacing the tip, too. I’m not great at soldering and it has really made me more successful than I have a right to be. Very pleased.
Seconded; something funky today.
Had multiple searches today that either produced no results (just the little guy fishing), or just links to junk sites that contain massive word lists and nothing else. Bing came through; usually it is best for video and image searches, but at least it got me going today.
I hate that bing (and dependent sites like DDG) will not let you exclude results; if they would address that, they would be a more serious search competitor imo; days like today would make them compelling.
Subjective rules suck, but I also don’t have any better ideas. I don’t remember the defender turning around, but you could be right. It all happens so fast in real life that maybe they just didn’t notice or realize. Or maybe it was a completely legitimate play and I have wrong expectations. Just have to keep watching.
