Everyone is telling you the salesperson is lying. Which is probably true. But why? I can’t figure out how this lie is supposed to benefit them.

What does it matter that their wife has their personal car that day? Salespeople usually don’t show off their own personal cars, right? They show the dealer stock.

I guess that implies it’s out of stock (not on the dealer lot) so they’re trying to steer you towards something else that they can sell that same day. In which case, I’m not sure how it benefits them to say they own the car and love it. Seems like they’d try to talk badly of the EV. Or maybe they’re trying to build trust / rapport.

Strange.

Nobody ever has a dud game against me, ever. I never get the 1 rec for 9 yard games from opposing stud WRs. Or the 3 INT games from QBs. Nope, everyone always has solid games.

I don’t even have the most PA in the league. It’s just that I never catch a break. I’ve lost with scores 108, 132, and 112 recently. Meanwhile there’s a 65 to 72 matchup this week and someone is going to get a win.

Let me get this straight - you think our QB who refuses to throw to open receivers, holds the ball, and takes sacks, qualifies as a “gunslinger”?

I honestly think it was just a slip of the tongue. It felt like he was trying to play along with the NFL’s rules about the definition of Questionable vs Doubtful vs Out to leave the possibility open and force the Panthers to game plan for it. Because technically there’s another day where he could theoretically get medically cleared, and then he’d play. But then let it slip that “Yeah, he’s not playing.” And then immediately went back to the vague “Doubtful” line.

Think of it like a high school physics problem. When you’re up in the mountains, you have a lot of potential energy. You want to turn that into kinetic energy. The question is: later or now?

If you want it later, you can capture the energy in the battery (regen). But charging and discharging are not 100% efficient, so you lose some of it along the way.

Using it now by converting directly to kinetic energy (coasting) avoids that. So in theory, it’s superior. But in practice, you probably can’t gain speed forever (speed limits and traffic and safety and all that).

So I’d coast as much as possible, using regen only when necessary to adjust speed for the conditions.

He’s on the waiver wire in my 10 team league. We have a team or two streaming QBs so I suspect he’ll get picked up sooner or later, but nobody seems to be in a rush.
