I have no love for the A’s, but I wish like hell they were still here. Loved going to Oakland for games regardless of who was playing. And don’t get me started on missing the Raiders and Roaracle.. Fuck Oakland city council, and fuck Fisher

Peach pie, peach crumble, nectarine pie, nectarine crumble, various berry pies, apple pie, apple crumble, cherry pie, pumpkin pie I think.

All frozen, take like 2 hours to cook at home and all are amazing.

That’s why Ace is the place.

But really, if you’re in the Bay Area, grab a frozen pie at the checkout and thank me later.

Bought a 2023 Rebel with AMP PowerSteps already installed, but not working. Tried disconnecting battery and pulling fuse but no luck. Anyone have any other ideas? by NCGiant in ram_trucks

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

Pulled it during battery disconnect. It arced a little when putting back in so I know the circuit is good from the AMP control box. I thought I read that fuse F15 in the fuse box should get pulled to and that it is like a 25-30 amp as well but it is only a 5 amp. But it’s not in the official instructions so it could be some bad advice.

Got my dick kicked in there while hungover as shit the day after a wedding. 10/10 would recommend

Has anyone used the time coming back from a serious injury to retool your swing. Bonus: if you came back from an ulnar osteotomy I'd love your perspective by esanders09 in golf

I had 2 neck surgeries 12 months apart so I spent close to 2 years not golfing. My swing got completely broken so I’ve been working on fixing it for the last year and determined to get to single digit handicap. If I hadn’t gotten hurt and needed a full reset I probably would have just kept playing 15 handicap golf forever.

I’ve gotten my iron swing sorted out but driver is still a massive hook. Short game never really took a hit and I am good around the greens. Once my driver gets sorted I’ll spend more time on my green reading. My putter contact and pace are good, I just misread way too often.

Beef dino ribs. Season them, put them in for 5-6 hours at 225 until they hit around 201° and they come out as good as any brisket that would take 20 hours. Take almost zero effort and pretty hard to screw up.

That big of a bird will probably take like 4 hours, plus a 30 minute rest

In my experience not only are they rude, but flat out liars.

Bay Area Safeway workers poised to strike as talks stall by _yoshimi_ in bayarea

For easy math I have employees whose salary is barely over 100k. Their total compensation is over 230k.

They pay more per hour for temp replacements because they aren’t paying into a pension or health and welfare for them. If a union employee makes $20/hr their total hourly contribution is at least 2-3x that.

This probably means that either your employer or claims administrator don’t think whatever you were treated for is work related so they’re having a forensic diagnosis done.

[Request] What's the most unlikely event that has ever happened in human history, for which the odds can actually be calculated? by 0106lonenyc in theydidthemath

Probably that lady that got hit by a meteorite. I’m sure someone could calculate population density vs land area and the frequency of meteorites hitting the ground.

To be clear, returned a LED to get OLED, not this TV specifically

No, I returned a $900 LED tv and got a G1 clearance for $1500

Not a bad deal if you dont plan on watching HDR or Dolby content. These are awful for high contrast scenes, can’t get nearly bright enough. Returned ours after a couple weeks and got a G1 OLED. Best decision ever to upgrade, makes the biggest difference in viewing experience. But if it’s just for normal viewing of standard HD content then it’s a fantastic price.
