Fast Liquified Natural Gas.

It can also stand for Floating too.
Gotcha. No, this is an FPSO. I say rig, but it really isn't. We just sit on a well and produce it, and offload into pipelines mostly. Most of my career was in the drilling side, then went to well intervention, and now this. This is pretty much a very well paid old folks home. No derrick to climb, etc...

Ah ok.

I was asking because I work for an FLNG company. I've spent the vast majority of my IT career working for Oil/Gas/Energy.

Here where I'm at now, I'm responsible for providing the technology needs for the rigs and was on one recently over in Ingleside Texas.

It's crazy how massive those things are.

So how is Sunday Ticket on youtube? No one seems to be bitching too much, so I'm guessing it is fine.
I used the free trial in week 1 and it was fine. None of the mass tech issues that I experienced every year in week 1 with DirecTV.

The two main drawbacks are that since it's TV via internet there's a longer delay.....about 30 seconds or so. Also, they give you a ton of multi-view mix channels where you get to watch 4 games at once, but there's no option to choose which 4 games you get in your window. The 4 games are randomly generated by YouTube.

I bet Bears fans are finally starting to regret not keeping that #1 overall pick.

Stroud is looking pretty good for a rookie. And given the fact that the Bears play in an outdoor stadium and in a cold windy area of the country, if they kept the #1 overall pick, I think they'd have drafted Stroud instead of Bryce Young.

Either our guys are fragile, or out strength and conditioning sucks.

Thank goodness we're playing the Cardinals because not having 3 starters on the line would be enough to damn near cripple the offense.

Josh Allen scrambles for the 1st down and actually slides instead of lowering his shoulder like a Neanderthal. That's new.
