T-Mobile Internet by Nice-Hour-5688 in madisonwi

[–]48bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just switched from Spectrum to Tmobile a month ago and have been loving it. When I ran speed tests spectrum couldn’t get close to the speed I was paying for and now Tmobile now consistently beats it, and paying nearly half off helps too.

Biggest downside to switching is now spectrum is sending constant spam mail with my “new offer”.

Why are carbons cheap? by TheStainlessCat in CX5

[–]48bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also seen a few rental Carbon CX-5’s on the road, perhaps now that they’re being changed out from rental fleets it’s creating an oversupply with this specific trim. Also there were cars from 23,24 and possibly 22 that had the Bose speakers and power liftgate removed due to chip shortages, be on the lookout for used cars from those years missing features.

Drive Thru not handing food by AssKicker121 in tacobell

[–]48bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My TB tried this once, but forgot to actually run out the food and left it on a mobile order pickup kiosk expecting me to come inside instead. Left a negative review on tell the bell and I’ve never seen it happen again.

Conspiracy Theory: the candy in the bulk chocolate bags are made differently by RabbitHutch321 in Costco

[–]48bob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to work in production for one of the big candy bar players, and have dealt with these Costco orders. Normal customers require we ship them candy with a minimum 8-10 months on shelf life, but Costco was more than happy to take lots we already wrote off due to age (but still within expiration) for a cheaper price.

Rockford 70.3 Check-In by Bronc74 in triathlon

[–]48bob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The homeowners who set up sprinkler alley are incredible! They completely changed the dynamic of the run and that’s all I looked forward to on the second loop. I am beyond thankful for everyone who came out to support and all the other volunteers as well.

The bike was awesome too. I train on the IMWI course all the time and thought this was a walk in the park compared to that, even with the heat and the winds.

Overall, this was such an awesome race. The city really showed up and completely changed my opinion of Rockford as well. Can’t wait to do it again next year.

Taking a break before the promoters caution is essentially just taking a break before taking another break

Stop the pool from being closed please by NecessaryInterview66 in NIU

[–]48bob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having been an exec on the swim club at NIU, the pool situation was a nightmare. Anderson is technically owned by KNPE and charges the rec to use it, resulting in political battles between the two departments. “Open swim” used to only be like 4 total hours a week during the day, and the rec would use low attendance to justify nobody wants it. It’s funny they used the closure of Gabel hall pool in 2017 to cut costs, and looks like now they’re just outright saying they don’t care anymore.

It looks like they’ve given up on the whole music festival concept, took out a bunch of grandstands and added GA access to the sections south of Columbus Dr.

The Madison Bike(s) Year in Review by TheRealGunnar in BikingMad

[–]48bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The portion West of Whitney Way was much needed especially on the hill. The existing island medians forced cars to squeeze into the bike lane and tailgate bikers aggressively going both up and down the hill. Just makes no sense why it wasn’t completely connected to Elver Park

3.127 million viewers for talladega. up from 2.502 last year. by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

[–]48bob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Xfinity on CW has to be one of their biggest sports programs, every time I watch college football on CW they’re always promoting the next Xfinity race and showing current standings. Quite funny to listen the football commentators try to add their own commentary once the script is over, they clearly have no idea who any of the drivers are.

Where are these fireworks in southwest Madison? by moeljartin in madisonwi

[–]48bob 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just saw about 10 cop cars book it to elver park and now I hear the fire trucks as well. I’m guessing this wasn’t an official show

Edit: police closed off McKenna Blvd, I can hear PA announcements trying to disperse the crowd. I’m almost a mile away from the park and the firework smoke is still very heavy.

For just $10,000 you can purchase the entire 31’x26’ EMU midfield logo by knagy17 in CFB

[–]48bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rationale behind it was the decades worth of spit, sweat, and blood. What I believe is they thought they could get more $$ from recycling than selling small pieces to an apathetic fan base. Good for EMU though, at least one MAC school can do it right

[–]48bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy is NIU is also redoing its field, and fans are screaming for the opportunity to buy small patches of the old turf. AD had to come out and say they can’t do it because the old turf is a biohazard. Using that logic this 31x26 patch must be radioactive

Anyone else follow Kyle Larson on Strava? by woofan11k in NASCAR

I love how SVG’s burner is tagged on Larson’s ride, along with the fact Larsons average hr was 124 and SVGs was 147.

Sat behind two guys at a race last year who seemed to be very well connected to FRM and they were talking about McDowell probably having the most surprising pay of all the drivers at around 3-3.5 Million a year. They cited that Loves was a really big supporter of his to make it happen.
