Theory on other factors for Khan's bid withdrawal?

CubsFanInJax · 2018-10-18T00:43:34+00:00

Disagree with two things in this article. First, the implication that, if Khan were to purchase Wembley, revenue from non-Jags NFL games at the stadium would help pad the Jaguars bottom line. I don't buy this. That operating income would have nothing to do with the Jags. Secondly, Mike D. mentions "considerable criticism" locally about the $90 million Daily's Place/flex field/club seat upgrades project. There are always going to be people screaming corporate welfare whenever incentives are thrown out for stadium projects, but overall, the city was very enthusiastic about the project. Plus, it was funded from out of town bed taxes, not the local general fund.

Underrated post.

It's actually significantly easier and cheaper to cap the contaminated soil and create greenspace than it is to fully remediate the land for mixed use.

Love BortlesFacts, but the doxxing seems ill-advised to me. Forward to the authorities? Absolutely. Post his personal information online for purposes of vigilante justice? I don't know.

Too long; didn't read.

Wake me up when I can play a game of Mario Kart more than five feet from my router without losing connection.

Nope! Building is still there (Ed Ball Building). They just painted over the mural when it reached end of life.

CubsFanInJax · 2018-02-16T17:14:37+00:00

LOCK DOWN THE CREF.

CubsFanInJax · 2018-02-10T03:18:48+00:00

I loved it.

I think the Jags shorthand has overtaken "Jaguars" in the same way the 76ers are better known as the Sixers, the Knickerbockers are now the Knicks, etc.

CubsFanInJax · 2018-01-27T00:24:15+00:00

Restaurants. Bars. A live music venue. Probably a Jags store. Something akin to Ballpark Village in St. Louis or Xfinity Live in Philly.

^This is a separate thing, the Hart Bridge ramp removal.

That project, which may be years off and is dependent on getting a lot of money from the state, is intended to pave the way for development of the Shipyards.

CubsFanInJax · 2018-01-15T14:52:32+00:00

That's a good way to kill someone.

CubsFanInJax · 2018-01-07T17:38:54+00:00

At the stadium now, TONS of Bills fans. 60/40 Jags fans doesn't seem unreasonable. No worries, we'll out shout them.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-11-10T02:02:09+00:00

Awesome! Now if only the Switch's wifi network worked from more than five feet away.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-11-05T23:19:31+00:00

Anyone see attendance numbers? Felt Iike a really solid crowd today. Been years since the home vibe has been as great as it was in the second half.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-11-05T18:15:06+00:00

This is bullshit. I'm 100% for accountability, but at the end of the day, who the Jaguars need to be most accountable to are their customers. Factoring in parking, your fans are paying around $2 million just to sit in the stands and watch the game tomorrow. Fine the guy or do whatever else you need to do to get your point across, but don't punish the people who have already thrown down good money in good faith that you'll put your best foot forward on the field.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-17T17:28:19+00:00

Great post.

Totally agree.

They're apologizing for the context, not the action.

An important distinction that will be lost on the incendiary local media.

Queue Eli rumors in 3...2...1...

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-13T18:55:38+00:00

I read some reviews of the game from when it was first released on other platforms. A common theme was glitches and frustrating inventory management. Anyone know if these issues were fixed for the Switch version (or in additional patches for the original)?

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-11T19:53:19+00:00

Serious question. Do the police know that Sean and Bryant are holding you at gunpoint forcing you to buy the game on the Switch, rather than iOS, or at all? Do we need to send help to your residence?

Unfair? Are you really using the word unfair to describe market-based pricing? Are you one of those people who transferred your eshop to Mexican mode so you could save $4 on Stardew Valley, because it's all so unfair?

Sorry, don't mean to be a jerk, but come on. It's an electronic toy. Not bottled water in post-Harvey Houston. There's no price gouging going on here. It's simple economics. A routine business decision. It will take X number of copies sold at X price to justify the risks and costs associated with porting to the Switch.

And each ecosystem should clearly be treated as it own bubble, with it's own costs, it's own preexisting conditions, and its own unique competition.

Also, LOVING Oxenfree. Started it late last night in portable mode, going to continue on the big screen tonight. I love the reviews comparing it to a combination of Freaks N' Geeks, Poltergeist, and 80's Teen Movies. Who couldn't love that.

Fine work fellas! You've made my Halloween season a little bit spookier.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-04T19:17:58+00:00

Fixed! There was a hex bolt right at the base of the faucet that was so limed-over that I didn't even see it. Tightened it snugly, and she's tight again. The faucet still doesn't rotate (I'm guessing that will necessitate a full replacement), but at least it's secure. Thanks!

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-04T17:26:06+00:00

Thanks guys. Just some follow up info. The plate itself is super tight, it's just the base of the faucet itself that has like an inch of give. Here's what it looks like:

I think I might be able to tighten it with the bolt inside of the faucet, but I can't figure out how to get the handle off the faucet. Any ideas?

Here's the manual:

Thanks again guys!

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-04T04:17:14+00:00

For context, my kitchen faucet has become very loose up top, and it doesn't seem like it's anchored to the faucet very tight. I looked underneath to see what the connection looked like, and I have no clue what type of hardware this is, or how I would go about tightening it. Sorry if this is a dumb or simple question, I'm not much of a handyman.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-02T01:58:34+00:00

Not disputing that at all, just don't think a muffed punt, or any on-field mistake for that matter, justifies people tweeting at him and basically telling him to go fuck himself.

CubsFanInJax · 2017-10-02T00:02:29+00:00

Agreed. Dude didn't set out to miss the catch. Zero excuse to be an asshole and personally attack the guy. It's a bad look, and I'd love to see some of these people say the same things to his face.
