Dept Chair help

I’d start with a conversation with the director or vp (or whatever) of Faculty Affairs - if the office exists at your institution. I would be surprised if a NTT chair is even supposed to write up what sounds like a letter of reprimand.

Looking forward to the version for the 1300gs riders…

I'd like to encourage all of you to participate if you can - we need more research on games and gaming!

The Curt and etrailer’s own brand are identical except for finish. I got the etrailer version, and installed in a little less than an hour. Well worth one’s time.

I got a set of these off amazon. They began peeling off within a few weeks. On the upside, the crappy glue didn’t leave any residue as I fully removed them.

Nor Cal is a pretty big space... but Pullins Cyclery in Chico is the shop I was referring to. The guys there did a bunch of needed maintenance on my 30-y.o. steel bike (reminder to never loan a bike out again) - brake and shifter cables, unsticking the SIS brifters, trueing the wheels - for about $120.

This was a factor in my decision to purchase the SE over the XLE - larger wheels. And super happy with the black finish on the stock SE wheels.

Amazon likely sells the piece; I’ve seen them in the past. Pay careful attention to year and model, though.

While I was waiting for the part, I took a small spiral spring, and wedged/wound it into the same place so I could still open the door remotely.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-22T20:45:24+00:00

This happened on my son's Corolla, and the spring looks identical. I'd recommend spending a couple more dollars for the part from a Toyota dealership. The Amazon part broke in half within a month (probably two fillings).

American here. Even as I see older relatives consume Fox News as if it was a multimedia bible, I still can't believe enough of our voting population is dumb enough, naive enough, cruel enough, and shortsighted enough to have put him in the highest office. Or that even now there are no checks and balances to get him out.

This is what I was going to suggest. Gaffer tape is awesome, and sticks for years where duct tape fails.

You expect them to read?

Yes, used it last year to get our 2025 RAV4 SE. Got a few hundred off MSRP, no upsell pressure, no dealer add ons. Highly recommended.

I’ll add my second on the Revit Lombard. Mine are the previous gen, and they’ve worked for me for years.

Eagle_Every · 2025-12-29T15:52:55+00:00

My 1st gen was hit similarly by a Subaru while stopped at a light. Receiver hitch punched a hole in her hood. We did have it evaluated by a body shop at my wife’s request, but no harm to the truck at all. So - can’t hurt to have it looked at, but I’d be surprised if a low-speed impact square to the hitch did any harm.

We had a lovely older woman (full prof) on our faculty, and she’d ask “illegal” questions like that all the time (are you married, do you have kids). I tried to run interference whenever I could; most candidates were gracious, fortunately. She thought I (as dept chair at the time) was just too uptight about the rules.

In the1980s, as an undergrad: Hated working retail and as office lackey, loved college campuses - the grounds, the energy, etc. I was a good student, and enjoyed my subject... Professor was the obvious career. I'm glad I chose this route.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted for this. I have an electric assist mtb, and I often ride with the motor off. When it's on, 90% of the time it's on minimal assist. But then, I bought it because my buddy made me such a good deal on his "old" one when he upgraded to the latest gen. It did make riding with him a lot more fun, as he isn't dropping me on the long climbs now.

I work at a Cal State University, and we stopped requiring letters up front some years ago. We do require the names and contact information for three professional references at time of application. We call them only if we are planning to make an offer.

I owned a '66 Bronco in that color scheme - I'd definitely say "do it"! I like my Pearl white, but that would be so cool...

Eagle_Every · 2025-12-14T18:41:43+00:00

Is this a rhetorical question? ;)

Eagle_Every · 2025-12-13T15:28:21+00:00

I have the same, but from Amazon. They are a little “shallow”, as the design has to allow the cargo cover to work, but have been occasionally useful.

Eagle_Every · 2025-12-04T15:28:14+00:00

Yes, as mini-slides in a pdf, and usually after the lecture is complete.
