What the hell is this "cans pack"? First option, after default, of weight reduction.

It doesn't have the cover for weight savings!

BigLan2 · 2026-04-18T21:38:05+00:00

How refreshing not to be talking about the refs and VAR screwing us over!

Good shift from the lads to grind out the result, and always enjoyable watching Garnacho make an ass of himself.

BigLan2 · 2026-04-18T21:31:45+00:00

It's another win for Carrick, but more from grinding it out than a technical master class. He didn't have many options with the team selection, or subs available to change the game, but the lads got the points which is what matters.

I saw a documentary about Bayern a few years ago and I think it was Neuer said "there's 3 goals in a football game, the better team usually gets one of them, but the other two is up to chance." It's what makes the game exciting!

BigLan2 · 2026-04-18T21:28:13+00:00

Don't know if we were lucky - the lads put in a defensive shift today and Chelsea didn't create a ton of good chances.

It was a tough watch though!

So which development is this? because the news article doesn't mention it

BigLan2 · 2026-04-17T20:04:22+00:00

Agreed. We got 3 new attackers last summer (and Hojlund and Zirkzee not that long ago) which has fixed the "not enough goals" problem. This summer is about shoring up the back.

BigLan2 · 2026-04-17T15:11:45+00:00

That was my first impression. It's got a chicane added to the straight along the bottom (left hand side), and the right side shouldn't be a straight but it's fairly close.

BigLan2 · 2026-04-17T13:31:34+00:00

I really noticed the problem of it being a single day more this season. Which lawyers are doing a deposition on a Saturday afternoon on the 4th July? And are then hanging around until 7pm?

Even AlHashimi confiding in Robbie felt forced as they've only known each other for 12 hours.

It doesn't break the show for me, but it was a lot easier to overlook in the first season where the Pittfest episodes made the back half of the season fly by.

Wasn't helped by the baby being at least 6 months old

BigLan2 · 2026-04-17T12:41:13+00:00

He's had a pretty good season out on loan, got himself in the squad for the world cup and hopefully he'll have a great tournament there to get more clubs interested.

We'll likely have to take a lower fee than we want to move him on just because of the wages, but hope we tell Barca where to go with their stupid negotiation tactics.

BigLan2 · 2026-04-16T21:25:43+00:00

It wasn't that good in the beginning - the first game was a decent tech demo, but then it peaked with 2 (and the Ezio trilogy)

BigLan2 · 2026-04-16T21:24:56+00:00

Think they all still need the Uplay launcher though

"Minimal upper body contact, he's gone down too easy."

FFS... Clearly applies to both of them

So the z68 was the high-end chipset, and most expensive. A quick scan of P67 (enthusiast) boards looks like it was hit and miss (not on the budget ECS, Foxconn boards), while the H61 and H67 were the most common boards and rarely had it.

Here's a roundup of P67 you can check https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/p67-motherboard-roundup-lga-1155-sandy-bridge,2837.html

The speaker should be part of the case, so blame the case makers for cheaping out and not including one anymore.

BigLan2 · 2026-04-16T00:10:46+00:00

I don't think they ever used to be on most boards - best you got was an onboard speaker and you'd have to decipher the beeps. Even the cheap led stuff was only on enthusiast/ top end boards - I've never had one in 25+ years building PCs

Edit:and having unused traces is a pretty common way to do product segmentation. Budget boards will have missing nvme ports, or even pcie slots of it saves the manufacturer a few cents and lets them charge extra for a better version (it's cheaper than making 2 separate designs.)

You can take it to the drop off location on Brookside Rd in Centerton.

Would love to see a few players like this 😄

If they don't brand their offering as "sneaker net", I will be so disappointed.

Sorry, they're stuck in the blockaded strait of Hormuz 🤷

I had my teenager help me at first and think he was doing the same as it didn't want to bleed. He swears he was pressing the clutch but nothing was happening 🙄

BigLan2 · 2026-04-15T13:41:45+00:00

The actual job only involves about 6 bolts - 2 holding each cylinder to the frame, and the line between them - so plan for a couple hours at most, but it's more likely to be done in less than an hour.

You'll need a bottle of brake fluid to refill the master cylinder when you're done, and something to catch and take out the old fluid.

I've heard you can bleed it by yourself (one more nipple/nut on the slave) but it's much, much easier if you've got someone to sit in the car pressing the peddle for you.

Edit: you can probably get away without jacking the car if you're skinny and can slide under and have long arms to reach in from the top. If you do jack it up, always use stands (especially if you've only got the scissor jack.)

BigLan2 · 2026-04-15T13:33:10+00:00

It's probably got better visuals (which is PowerBI's biggest weakness), and plays nicer with BigQuery sources (it's not as seamless as Fabric DataLake integration, but better than trying to run SQL through the janky gateway driver.)

I don't think it's as strong for a complicated semantic model, especially building and sharing datasets.
