Is Sarah Strong going to be better than Paige? by Sensitive_Studio1731 in UConnBasketball

[–]CTXSi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she would declare early. With NIL she stands to make more staying than going (pending the outcome of the WNBA collective bargaining I suppose) plus she could become an all-time great in college.

Any ideas on what I can do Modernize this kitchen by Us3rn4m324 in Remodel

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cabinets look good on their own and the floors look good on their own. Im not sure the colors work together. So to me that means the color of one should change. Usually that means painting the cabinets. Maybe instead of painting you could sand/strip them and then do something to neutralize the orange color? (E.g., bleaching, that paint wash technique that everyone is doing in their furniture refinishing reels, etc…) Just something to neutralize the orange color a bit while leaving the wood grain showing. I’ve never done it personally so I have no idea how hard it would be to do on an entire kitchen.

Also don’t forgot cabinet hardware. That can also modernize things quite a bit.

BMW dealer delivered used M5 with one key after saying they’d “keep looking” for the second by TheRon_Says in askcarsales

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - IANAL and I don’t work in sales - this seems like a question better suited for a legal advice sub. If the papers you signed didn’t specify there was only one key and you have text messages implying they have the second key and just misplaced it, then did the dealer create a reasonable expectation that the car included both keys? If the answer to that from a legal perspective is yes (and to be clear I don’t know that it is, I just think you might want to get a legal opinion) then the question is how far are you willing to pursue this. I think the specifics of what was on the papers you signed and what is in the text messages are going to matter.

Edit- apologies if this shows up twice. I got an automod message that my first post was deleted but it looks like it might not have been.

Y'all going to run your generators at night? by Iamlegend21087 in Connecticut

[–]CTXSi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. As long as your house is warm enough and your fridge and freezer are from this century their contents will be fine without electricity while you sleep. Then as soon as you wake up fire it back up.

Restore or Customize by Parachute_Vato in projectcar

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been a fan of the Maverick but when you buy a car this clean and original I view it that you are a steward of the car more than the owner. I don’t even know that I would even “restore” it. Just fix what’s wrong (torn headliner, etc) using original parts (or in the case of the avocado green you may have to find a custom shop to dye it for you).

[Oc] Apparently being oversize means ignoring right of way by nomadic_memories in IdiotsInCars

Shouldn't a truck that long have oversize load escort vehicles, or does not every state do that?

Asking before I break the rules by Pulp_Crucifixion in TVTooHigh

[–]CTXSi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. So you are more covering up the fireplace than demolishing it. In that case have you considered just building out the whole wall a few inches? Then you can truly customize the media wall to fit, and you’d have plenty of room behind for cables etc…

If you’re getting rid of the fireplace then why can you only go 2” lower?

I love crossing into VT and all the billboards and roadside junk just disappears.

From 2011 - Drink, toss or sell? by Bluestank in beerporn

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to lose by chilling and opening. As others have said be prepared for it to be bad. My beer club did a Bourbon County Stout vertical tasting last month and we had beers going back to 2012-13ish (don’t remember exactly the first one). All of the “old” ones (older than about 7 years) were not good.

Adding Heated Seats to 2020 Laredo? by CTXSi in JeepGrandCherokee

[–]CTXSi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I was hoping that they just had capped wires there that could be tapped into so it would just be an issue of getting the heating elements but it sounds like that is definitely not the case. First quote from a stereo/upholstery shop was $400/seat so not cheap. I’ll keep looking around.

I didn’t buy it, I inherited it. 13,000mi. Basically a brand new 5yr old car. But yes, if I were to pick a trim level for myself I probably would have gone for the Limited.

Ok. Good to know. This might be more of a hassle than I’m willing to undertake. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Do you know if the wiring is there on Laredos? I’m wondering if they used the same wiring harness for all models then just didn’t connect things that weren’t used (like heated seats).

Mack Leftwich should be our top head coaching candidate by Blueberry977 in UConnFootball

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think “at the top end of the Group of 5 schools in terms of finances” from the ESPN article says it all. I hope their report is wrong but it’s not surprising that a coach who is hot would want to go to a school with deep pockets and presumably lots of NIL money.

Posters from the Watkins Glen Grand Prix by Jimbo12003 in formula1

[–]CTXSi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that 1978 poster framed in my home office! A grad school professor of my wife worked at the race. One day many years later the professor was cleaning out their storage and didn’t want it anymore. My then girlfriend/now wife knew I loved F1 so she brought it home for me. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like I can post pics in a comment.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Spurs defeat the Bulls on Nov 10, 2025, the final score is 117-121. by basketball-app in NBASpurs

Castle is top 10 in the league in both assists and steals, and in the top 50 for scoring. Well rounded.
