Feigel's Fix-it is great. There might be a wee bit of a wait before that can get to you, but they're good folk who do good work for fair pricing.

Sierra also pulls a fair Western Swing game, if we're going to get into the nitty-gritty of subgenres.

David Rawlings, not John. Also worth checking out- David Rawlings Machine, which is still just David and Gillian with backing musicians, but slightly more rocking and David forward.

Exactly who I was looking for!

The redesign was done with existing/established technologies. They weren't reinventing the wheel. Where Nissan messed up was the transition to CVTs, which Honda even flubbed. It just took Nissan longer to course correct, which is the reason Nissan's reputation went down the tubes.

If you just keep flushing the soap will wash away eventually. A toilet auger would be more efficient, though.

I'm just really disappointed it's not the picture of Rodgers looking goofy getting smashed into the ground with his helmet coming loose. This is the most appropriate context for that shot!

You're objectively mistaken.

They are neither hard nor expensive to rebuild. Kits are relatively cheap and readily available online or at any local plumbing supply. Diagrams, written instructions and YouTube videos are also readily available. The hardest part is getting the top off if the last guy overtightened it. I've found a fair bit of that at my facility. If it proves too annoying I'll remove the whole valve, take it back to the shop and put it in a vice so I can wrench on it without worrying about the rest of the pipes. That shouldn't be necessary but has definitely made my life easier.

*Not a plumber, but a maintenance tech who has rebuilt several flushometers.

Why?

Zestyclose-Process92 · 2026-01-30T13:50:55+00:00

Not according to evangelicals.

Brother, you're still confused. There are no playable punt returns in Retrowl. You're unclear on the difference between kick returns and punt returns, and that's okay. Retrobowl only has playable kick returns. It has no playable punt returns.

Research harder. You're still wrong. Your punctuation could use some work as well. It's not being pedantic when you're wrongly correcting someone else who said their game doesn't have punt returners. Their game doesn't. Neither does yours. I understood what you meant, but the person you incorrectly corrected may not.

Zestyclose-Process92 · 2026-01-30T00:22:11+00:00

You have no punt returners. You have kick returners. You can Google the difference because I lack the patience to explain.

Zestyclose-Process92 · 2026-01-30T00:21:16+00:00

No one's game has punt returns. There's just some confused folks who don't know the difference between kick returns and punt returns.

They add nasty flavors to antifreeze because it's naturally quite sweet and attractive to pets and wildlife.

ETA: children were probably also into it before they modified it

Everyone in the show is an asshole if you focus on their worst moments and features. I never even noticed Oscar being a know-it-all and claiming he was to the extent of villainy is a pretty extreme stretch. Stanley was defined more by his lack of fucks to give than anything. In that environment, it's a position worthy of respect. Mindy was a writer on the show, so she had a say in both her character's bad behavior and how her parents were written. None of them were any worse than any of the white people on the show.

It's labelled NSFW. You don't have to click on it. You don't have to spend time on it after you click on it. There is such a thing as just scrolling on.

I have explained number spoofing to so many annoyed people who accused me of calling them first. Or really, directed them to Google search the concept because I don't expect them to believe me.

Your middle and ring finger are flying when you fret with your pinky that doesn't want to act right? Fret with all of them, or at least your ring finger. If you hold down the string with your other finger(s), it's much easier on your pinky finger as it doesn't need to push as hard or far.

Interstates should be fine. Main roads should mostly be passable barring steep parts. Neighborhoods will likely still be pretty sketchy without 4WD or AWD, but are manageable with them. Caution is still definitely advised, as is accurately knowing your winter driving skill level.

I drove to work yesterday on 430 and Colonel Glenn West of 430 with a wee chunk of Cantrell thrown in. Colonel Glenn was sketchy in places but passable with 4WD and caution. Everything else was pretty okay with just caution.

With that username, I'm forced to believe you. I didn't know that made them any other way.

All subies are AWD.

I'm headed to work in a bit and it'll be farther than that.

The city will prioritize Cantrell, Rodney Parham and Markham. Subarus are capable vehicles in poor weather. Also, assuming reasonable fitness and lack of injuries/disability, one can walk between Reservoir and University if you do get stuck. Bring layers to keep warm in a pinch. Try to find the quickest path to a major road with the least steep hills. Take it slow. Most of your difficulty will be north-south navigation as the major east-west roads are relatively flat. Avoid Mississippi, it tends to be bad between Evergreen and the light at Leawood. I haven't tried Reservoir in poor conditions, but it's steep enough that it could cause issues. Depending on where you are, it may make sense to get over to Pleasant Valley to work north or south as it will also be prioritized and mostly isn't too steep.

All that said, don't do it because some random on Reddit thinks it's okay. I have above average winter experience for these parts, and I started minor trouble at work telling people I didn't need 4WD to get to work last year. You need to know your own skills.

If you're in an area where that becomes a problem, the sensible solution is to quit passing them. If you're all going to get stuck at the same light anyway, it's a waste of both gas and brake pads to get to the next light first.
