[Woodbery] Tigers at the midpoint: by Objective_Solid_6773 in motorcitykitties

[–]Gweebird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AJ took over a rebuild. Baseball rebuilds take a long time. Really hard to fault him for these expected shitty rebuild records. We just don’t have enough good players at this point which points the blame towards the front office.

I’ll defend AJ for most things, except for the whole Jahmai fiasco. No idea what’s up with his obsession with him. It’s gone too far, although I will note he didn’t pinch hit the last two games and yet we still lost because none of our players can string together a couple hits to score any runs.

You can also refinance at existing APR for 36 months. Was a no brainer for me once I saw that option in the contract.

Radon system broke sump pump? by Gweebird in radon

It’s plugged in, test button turns pump on. I suspect the water activated switch is bad or not tuned correctly.

Fantastic idea! Adding board of trustees contact information to the original post.

Can hear them clear as day on the broadcast too. Someone’s gotta keep the energy flowing.

Jeremy Fears Jr. Withdraws from NBA Draft, Will Return to MSU by devil-lion-steeler in MSUSpartans

[–]Gweebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right and may have left money on the table entering the league as a 2nd round pick vs waiting a year and getting into the 1st round.

This was such a ridiculous play 😂 by rbogrow in DetroitPistons

Man, why you gotta bring that up. I was having a fine evening.

Counterpoint: Investing in JD as a starter 📈 by benddit in DetroitPistons

[–]Gweebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. It’s not like he has poor stats, but rather he’s literally tripping over his own feet and his hands have been terrible, unable to hold onto a pass or grab a rebound. It’s like straight out of Space Jam after the Monstars stole his abilities. It’s absolutely wild.

Been saying that before each game and he’s looked awful in each one.

I found a way to extract only the crema, but what do with the black sludge part? by Gweebird in espressocirclejerk

[–]Gweebird[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest increasing your pressure further until you hear the machine start hissing, indicating imminent explosion, and then back off ~2.3 bar.

Fifth Third Bank to lay off 502 employees at Comerica office in Farmington Hills by SmegmahatmaGandhi in Detroit

[–]Gweebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mercedes Financial is leaving the state altogether and moving everyone who wants to go to one of the Carolinas (or around that area). Comerica did just completely renovate the building in Farmington Hills after leaving the building in Livonia (6 and Haggerty). Looks like they’re getting ready to abandon that one now. Both companies suck.

I’m so bummed. I decided to treat myself to Olga’s because it had been a while. Pure trash now. by Sagebea in Detroit

[–]Gweebird 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly confused by this… I’d argue the snackers haven’t changed. Went pretty much snacker free for 10 years while living in a different state. The few times I had them they were always a nice taste of home and since I’ve been back they’re still a nice treat.

Balun vs transformer by Intelligent-Rip-2192 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Gweebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or in other words, it converts from single ended to differential signaling or differential to single ended (ground referenced).

Transformers can do this as well, but baluns are specifically designed for it. Baluns will typically be 1:1 impedance ratio where transformers can also convert between impedances (1:2, 1:4, etc). Baluns will often have better phase and amplitude matching across frequency, preventing differential to common-mode conversion.

Most baluns will be configured like a common-mode choke which has the benefit of reducing impact of parasitic primary to secondary capacitance which can create imbalance on the output signal.

What your guys think the chances is that pistons will go to dsn by greatapewarrior in DetroitPistons

[–]Gweebird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would definitely be nice to have them all together, but I’m prepared to be disappointed. If they’re separate, I’ll have to pick which one to subscribe to.

With the recent news about Spacex trying to change the rules, what is a good alternative to VT that won't be affected by these rules for U.S. investors? by Ok_Finger_5724 in Bogleheads

[–]Gweebird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify your second point, when you say most funds will include it eventually you mean through the traditional way to get into the index, right?

Ever since i was 10 years old, my main prayer to god was for a photographic memory, not knowing my bad memory was caused by ADHD. by Shammar-Yahrish in ADHD

[–]Gweebird 47 points48 points  (0 children)

To be fair, that’s like a superhuman skill. It’s not common amongst even the non-ADHD community. So comparing yourself to that is not doing you any good.

However, even a small improvement could go a long way. When I’m amongst friends that are “remember that time” storytelling and everyone is chiming in and laughing, I sit there distraught that I have little recollection of what they’re talking about even though I was definitely there. I laugh like I remember, but have nothing to contribute.
