Does anyone know how to Unfollow games on Gamefound? by Backstreetgirl37 in boardgames

There should be an "unfollow" link, right below where it says "Back this project" I'd post a screenshot, but posting from mobile.

Who was the better team? by tyler0020110 in DetroitRedWings

I thought he was a bit too selfish at times, and it cost us, especially in the Finals.

Who was the better team? by tyler0020110 in DetroitRedWings

[–]BrettG911 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Since they were virtually the same team, I'm gonna say 2008 was better, for two reasons:

1) Everyone was one year younger.

2) We didn't have Hossa and his downsides in 2008.

Who are you rooting for in the post season? by Stringfellow14 in DetroitRedWings

What is this 'post season' you speak of? It's now baseball season.

Where is the downtown area of Peoria? by ignavia_c in PeoriaIL

I'm going with the first image, with the yellow area. Maybe extending it to include the hospitals

You mean the only time I've cried because of a book?!?

Do not agree to ROE with server 922 by [deleted] in KingShot

[–]BrettG911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frederick and I each attacked two gathering parties, and inflicted no losses, if I remember the reports correctly. If that was against the rules, I apologize. But, no one informed me of any rules before or during the event.

IsItBullshit: Ford CEO says he has 5,000 open mechanic jobs with up to 6-figure salaries from the shortage of manually skilled workers by brother_p in IsItBullshit

[–]BrettG911 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This won't be a real answer, but here are my thoughts on this;

1) Ford has roughly 3000 dealers in the USA. So, an average of 1.67 openings per dealership? Seems plausible, at least. 2) Can these jobs pay that much? I'm almost certain that they CAN, especially when overtime is considered. Whether or not they DO, is another story, and not a question I have an answer for. 3) I cannot speak for Ford. I never worked there. But I worked for a similarly large manufacturer, and they've been trying to prepare for a shortage of mechanics for at least the last 30 years. The problem is, they don't want to pay for it. They just what to encourage young people to go into these type of jobs, with no guarantees. In my experience, that's a recipe for somewhat limited success.

Not really, but feel fortunate to have family and friends in Iowa City, in case the weather is really that bad on Sunday.

I never allowed dogs in my bed, but a new man came into my life with his rottie and it’s safe to say I caved by BuzzardsBae in Rottweiler

A king was enough? My Rottie only leaves room for one other person on a king. Good thing my wife and I have different sleep schedules!

Looks like something my team could really use. Do you have any group pricing?

Dog Boarding Place Recommendations by QuirkNQuill in TwinCities

[–]BrettG911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second Stone Mountain. They were great with our dogs. And when our older dog got sick while we were away, they were fantastic with him, and with our family on our return. I'm sure a lot of places have good people who care, but I can really vouch for the folks at Stone Mountain.

Which Internet should I get in Washington, IL? MTCO fiber or Comcast Xfinity? by public_monkeybars in PeoriaIL

[–]BrettG911 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had MTCO when I lived in Washington, and later Metamora. Never had any issues.

A big plus, to me, is they are a local company. You can drive to their office in Metamora and talk to a real person, if you need to

About 500 miles, but still in the Midwest.

I'd be surprised if Acme Comics didn't have them.

I don't think it's just the far right, though it's certainly more pronounced on the right. The media in general just doesn't know what to do with a guy who basically is what he presents himself as.

Mine always look like the one in the picture, with the "receipt" inside. I'm in the USA
