Folks who use A-1 tend to arrange their toilet paper to roll over the back  :old: True fact!

LOL if someone is putting sauce on your steaks, you're not cooking them right.  :aok

That is absolutely not true.  Let me know when you are out by Dallas and I'll cook you one.   :aok

Hmmmm I wonder. 

When I observe a stick stirring 190 the plane seems to translate (up, down, left, right) without the appropriate rotation first. So why would the translation packets get to my video card after the rotation packets?

This is what makes them hard to hit. A planes motion is predictable in that it rotates, then translates. IF you de-couple that sequence, it's a toejam show.  :salute

I think a stall can produce flippy-flop in some cases.  Was fighting a 110g -- not known for its roll rate -- the other day when it got slow and did the flippy-flop.  In fact, I once watched a youtube video in which a veteran player demonstrated a stall in a Spit that would deliberately produce a flippy-flop, then instantly regain control (I think it was in AH2).

It really is the same handful of people doing it.  They fail to connect on their 450mph pass of a guy, an some of us that have been here awhile are preparing to make a shot as they pass by.  Hit them a little bit and watch the flop show begin.  Once they hit 1k distance, auto pilot goes on until their pursuer falls out of icon range.

I agree. Sauce is to mask the poor taste. If you like steak sauce, great. It may mean you like the sauce better than the steak, which is odd.

I think people are discussing two different things here. There is a graphic's glitch where the aircraft instantly swaps nose to tail and back and there is a torque maneuver where you rotate the aircraft on the yaw axis. This is why we like video.  :aok

I cook a great steak but I still love A-1.    I'll eat some pieces without it and some with it.     :rock

You would put A1 on this?

I like BOTH.

This.  I'll take it any way I can get it, but some red or pink is the preference.

Brother in law won't eat it if it's not well done.  Poor guy.

That’s not pink, that’s red. 

And you can cook an amazing and tender steak with no pink in it if you know what you’re doing. 

It’s only rookies who can’t grill that require red in their meat.
