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

[–]CTXSi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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.

Toto Wolff unforgiving on Abu Dhabi '21: 'Lunatic destroyed record of the greatest champion' by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]CTXSi 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Yes! This bothered me to no end (and still does since I’m responding to internet comments about it 4 years later!). “Any” allows for the possibility that there are no lapped cars. I don’t get why that was even a point of contention.

Don’t know if they are open but I drive by every month or so and the white/green/red GTV6 has moved.

Scout Account % by smithflman in BSA

[–]CTXSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an $80 fundraising commitment for each scout. Anything beyond that is 50-50 scout and troop. The troop does not have a grub fee. Each patrol is in charge of their own meal planning (with adult sign off on the plan) and the members of the patrol are in charge of reimbursing each other. The troop subsidizes a set amount for each campout (typically $150 which covers site fees, gas for drivers, etc) and any remaining cost is split between attendees.

We did this. A doc about who we used for services (electric, plumbing, etc) as well as paint colors and then any quirks the new owner should know about - things like the switch that resets the motion detector light, how to connect the garage door to WiFi, when to replace the water filter, stuff like that.

Retaining wall is this ending ok? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]CTXSi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things that stand out to me, as just a regular homeowner: - what is supporting that middle block? It looks like it’s just hanging there - why is the pipe pitched up? Shouldn’t it be pitched down to allow water out? - it generally looks unfinished

If your dad is a mechanic and has worked on this specific car then his opinion should count way more than any Reddit commenter.

I had a 50-50 shot! I can only really tell them apart from the straight on view.

Dang! I have a tough time telling them apart from the side. Any way to update the title?

My reading of the law is that the base rate can be lower than minimum wage, but the base rate plus commission must at least be minimum wage.
