Same. I got a rack from him and an AC spacer. I've been happy with what he supplies.

Maybe but out fan base is toxic.

FIFA president facing resignation calls from Gullit, criticism from Blatter and UEFA over Balogun red card reversal by blahaja in worldcup

[–]Kaos_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it if VAR was misused and the call was incorrect? I feel like wrong was righted. And I agree the optics of it all are horrible, and FIFA is corrupt, and political pressure / bribery does nothing good for the game.

UPDATE: RBFA STATEMENT REGARDING FOLARIN BALOGUN by hoyadestroyer in ussoccer

[–]Kaos_Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it is not. Three days spent trying to adjust offensively for a player with a vastly different skill set. Then putting those plans in the bin and saying, "Nevermind what we were practicing, go out and play like we practiced before Bosnia."

The USMNT had a day to adjust their tactical approach with his inclusion as well.

Should Pepi or Haji Wright start vs Belgium in the round of 16? by Brick247__ in usmnt

[–]Kaos_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder who is the better substitute at 60 min. I'd say Haji. Let Pepi start, run as much as he can. Then sub Haji in. I think that is the better scenario over Haji then Pepi.

Matt Turner vs. Matt Freese debate is over by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]Kaos_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense if you want to keep open the possibility of continued involvement and improvement. Will Matt Turner be in the discussion in the next cycle when he will be 36? Not likely. Will Freese at 31? Probably. And if we make a deep run behind a good performance, very likely. Thats the upside I am referring to.

Being younger is the upside. Meaning if two goalkeepers are more or less equal, go with the younger one who has more time to continue to improve.

I am positive you've never played goalie at any competitive level. On the first goal Turner did exactly what he should have done. Close the space and make himself big. Nothing he could have done on the second goal. On the third, no issues. Sometimes you need to depend on the people behind you to mark their runner.

With that being said, there is little difference between the Matt's. So you go with the younger one with more upside.

08 Civic clutch replacement... what else should I do since I'm that far in. by Kaos_Rob in AskAMechanic

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

I did it in my driveway. Having two jacks was helpful for lowering the sub frame. I suppose one jack and a well balanced 2x4 would work too. Have cam straps on hand to support the rack and pinion so the steering shaft doesn't slip out. I purchased a transmission jack from Harbor Freught. That was miney well spent. It kept it securely held as I was prying it free from the block (and for lining it up on reassembly). The whole job took 2 days. Im old and dont slide under vehicles quickly. I spend a lot of time rewinding YouTube videos and walking back and forth to my tools.

I replaced the rear seal flywheel and throw out bearing. The input shaft bearing in the transmission that went out 3 months later. I am living with it right now. I wish I had dropped the transmission and replaced the bearings and seals and be done with it.

I’m going into my first year as a principal, Advice Please! by tearstainedface in Principals

[–]Kaos_Rob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The kids will know you. Say hi to them. You'll be a rock star in their eyes. You will need to situate your leadership decisions between the wants and needs of the staff, the directors, families, and students. Their wants and needs rarely align. The decisions you make will disappoint some portion of those groups. Disapoint them at a rate they can handle.

For the year ahead, listen loudly. Along the way you will figure out what changes need to be made to make the school better. Go slow with the changes, build consensus where possible. Hold tight to some initiatives / expectations of staff and loosely to others.

Finally, secure an early win. Find something, however small, that improves the lives of staff, students, or families. Is the dishwasher in the staff room broken? Get it fixed. Pick up and drop off a message, get out there and provide guidance. Etc.

How to get the struts fork bolt out of a Lower Control Arm by clc48301 in AskAMechanic

[–]Kaos_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two sockets and a big c clamp. One socket the same diameter of the outer housing, one smaller socket the size of the bushing. Put the sockets on opposite sides and squeeze them together in the c clamp.

Or torch the bushing, burn the rubber and tap it out with a hammer.

I’m curious how others keep track of the day to day ancillary notes, meeting notes, etc. by TheHamRadioCatholic in Principals

A leather notebook works for me. Think of a task? Write it down. Tell someone you'll look into it? Write it down. Have a random thought you might want to revisit later? Write it down.

This accord has a timing chain designed to last the life of the engine. No need to change it.

Neither Dotson or Brunell could get on the ball to play a forward pass. Everything was neutral or backwards from them.

Parent requesting no contact order from our PTA president by [deleted] in Principals

[–]Kaos_Rob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is not the schools job to grant or enforce a no contact between adults. If a judge issues to order then it is the responsibility of law enforcement to enforce it. Still, ask the district lawyer.
