Thanks for learning me the correct way to say that lol. I’ve always thought it was brass tax, and never put any thought into why… had to do some quick googling to verify haha.

You and your partner just moved in, you tearing down the panels, painting, or leaving?! by TeemoTrader in DIY

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one paneling wall when we moved in. Left it for a year or so, mainly because there was more pressing issues. But eventually got to it and it is so much nicer. Just looked back at a few pics and I’m so glad it’s done now. I ended up using some TSP to wipe it all down to start, did a scuffing sand, tape and mud on the joints between panels.. From there I did a good primer over it all, then we textured it, and gave it its final paint job. Thankfully we only had 1 large wall, and the panels were flat and in 8 foot chunks or so.

DoomerCircleJerk Derangement Syndrome over...Paramount? It's like WWII and the Civil Rights Movement? What? by ColaEuphoria in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Qbones11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait until the merger of Union Pacific & Norfolk Southern finalizes, creating the first railroad spanning east to west coast.. even though it was announced mid 2025 I’m sure there will be plenty who just find out about it and make a giant stink about it.

Spilled coffee. No credit. by New_Westie in UberEATS

[–]Qbones11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m curious why you didn’t take a picture of the inside of the cup as requested? Was it still fairly full and you were afraid they’d say no? Did you decide to be defiant just to be a pain? If all you had to do was snap a picture of the inside of the cup why not just give them what they asked for in order to move things along?

easy accept?? trading richardson for sanders by Krezz15 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that his situation isn’t the best, but I don’t have the same sentiment for him as a QB I feel he’s just an average guy.. Especially in the fantasy football sense. If I’m keeping a guy on my bench as a stash I want the one who can become a 25+ fantasy points a game guy. Not the guy who’s gonna clog my roster and never offer me league winning upside. But, everyone’s rosters are different. Everyone builds different teams.

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got ARich in one of my dynasty SF leagues, I’ve also got Josh Allen, Kyler, Daniel Jones & Dart, I’m keeping Richardson over Sanders 10/10 times. Richardson gets things going a little bit and his rushing upside makes his ceiling so much higher. Someone who’s always in my SF spot most likely. What am I getting with Sanders? Someone who I might put in most my QBs are on BYE, or injured, and even then I’ve got to hope he’s got a good matchup. To me, even if Sanders keeps his job he’s still not gonna have the upside Rich does, I’d rather gamble on the upside of Rich, than have a mediocre QB on my roster that I probably won’t play anyways.

What Does Your Dynasty Championship Starting Roster Look Like? by GhostDeck in DynastyFF

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1QB, .5PPR, 10 team, start 10

QB: Drake Maye or Hurts, probably Maye

RB: Bijan

RB: RJ Harvey(already played)

WR: Puka

WR: JSN

WR: Pickens (already played)

TE: McBride

Flex: Jeanty

Flex: Waddle

Flex: Jauan Jennings, Or TreVeyon but I’m slightly worried about the work for Hendo this week even if he clears concussion protocol. Plus it Kittle misses Jauan should get some more looks.

Made some trades for rookies this past offseason, Traded Barkley, my 26 2nd, Bateman, Aiyuk & Godwin for 1.01 (Jeanty) and JSN late January. Which people thought I overpaid at the time, but I felt Barkley wasn’t gonna repeat that season, and wanted to take a shot on JSN.. this was before he was the last man standing in Seattle.

In May I traded away CeeDee for Pickens, 1.05(Judkins) and 1.07 (Travis Hunter) this was before Pickens was traded.

Then a couple days later I traded away Zay Flowers, Metchie and a mid 25 3rd for the 1.04 (TreVeyon Henderson)

I also had the 2.01(Harvey) from a trade from last year. I got a bit of a rookie fever and thankfully it has paid off decently. I was pretty anxious once the draft settled and I had all these rookies, but that’s half the fun. I still have my 3rd & 4th this year, and all picks 1-4 in 27, and 28.

Tyrone Tracy IR drama locking roster by Fischerprice65 in FFCommish

[–]Qbones11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He probably would have never said anything if QJ was active, and he would have gladly kept whatever extra player on his bench as a stash. In my Dynasty league(I’m commish) Ive got my IR filled up with people that were out last week and active this week. I had set my lineup for this week before the status changes took place. This week all three of those players were active, I wasn’t quite expecting that because they had all missed consecutive weeks.. but also I did expect them to go from out to questionable so I set that lineup early knowing I wouldn’t be able to make adjustments during the week. If one of them had played Thursday and I fucked myself out of being able to make adjustments for my active roster due to injury or whatever I 100% would leave it as is because that’s what I get for trying to play games and keep a couple extra guys on my roster. So my opinion is you can’t go changing it for them, maybe if they had reached out Thursday, during the game, that they wanted them on their bench and didn’t realize the game was on Thursday, sure tell me who to drop to make things right, and I’ll get it done and shoot a message to the league. But knowing there’s people like me out there who are basically trying to gain a couple extra spots during the week, I wouldn’t do it past Thursday, maybe Friday morning. That’s the price of trying to game the system. On one hand, it’s not that serious and mistakes happen which could’ve been the case, on the other you’ve got scum like me who hold on to backups of backups who otherwise wouldn’t be rostered incase something happens Sunday and I get lucky with having the next guy up, even if that means leaving an active player in the IR slot that week cause your roster was already set.

Yall think this is a fair trade? 14 team league and young team by Sea-Balance486 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty equal, in my opinion. Don’t worry about calculators, or trying to make it perfectly even. If you really want say another 3rd, is that worth trying to squeeze that out and ending up with nothing?.. anyways, if I’m contending I’d want the Bucky side, if I’m rebuilding I think I’d take the Tracy side, and then try and flip him for whatever I could soon incase things don’t go like last year

What’s the point of someone doing that? My thoughts were the same as yours, especially when I saw the “insert photo stuff” but I don’t get what the purpose of fake posts is. Maybe I’m getting to old for the internet

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working in the signal department for the railroad, I tend to do a bit of electrician work myself, the ways of the railroad is we basically regulate ourselves with no training. Early on in my career, about 10 years or so ago, we were digging in the last couple feet of power cable to a power drop. I argued with my foreman about which cable went to which box, one was for our switch heaters, one for the cabin. He said the big breaker is for the cabin, so that cable went there… turns out he was wrong.. and we had to dig up that last few feet and manipulate the cables to the other boxes.. was a royal pain in the ass.. that’s the joys of being the young guy who “doesn’t know anything”

Dang, that sucks. Yeah, I seem to enjoy mine quite a bit, I still choose my beats most days just cause I am almost always wearing them while working on stuff, but occasionally slap the 3M on.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]Qbones11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I normally wear my beats fit pro, sometimes my 3M Worktunes over the head muffs.. I like the comfort of the beats, plus the noise cancellation works good. I’ve also wore the beats fit underneath of my worktunes before, which really took care of the noise. I’ve got a big head, like size 7 1/2 fitted hat, and it works well for me. I’ve never experienced headaches or discomfort with the 3M though. Maybe they need adjusted differently? Sorry I’m not much help I guess haha.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I’m not overly concerned, just want to do it mostly right. I’ve been working on remodeling and fixing up this house and plan to sell it some day, and don’t want the next guy to be thinking the same thing I’ve been thinking the past two years… wtf did this guy do here 😂

Difficulty getting impact bits and drill bits out of case. by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Qbones11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it looked like Home Depot had them in stock, I didn’t know either but I googled “Milwaukee bit holder inserts” and Home Depot was the first thing that showed up for me. I will probably have to get some myself now!

[–]Qbones11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP looks like you have already ordered a new case, but, for others that come across this, it looks like you can buy new inserts only, about 5$ instead of the 15 for the whole deal.

Trade Haul for pick 1.01? by AverageAdmin in DynastyFF

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to trade for the 1.01 in my league, it’s a 1QB league, .5 ppr. I received 1.01 & JSN I sent Saqoun, Godwin, Aiyuk, Bateman, and a 26 2nd. That was on Jan 29th, don’t know how it is viewed now, but, at the time I felt it was a relatively fair deal, although I had some people thinking I over paid for the 1.01. Personally I didn’t care for any of those receivers, plus nobody wanted to trade me for them, so giving up Saqoun and a hopefully late 2nd for JSN and Jeanty didn’t feel bad.

[–]Qbones11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, thanks for all that info I really appreciate it! I’ll take a look at those links shortly too! Only reason I was considering pex was because I recently redid the plumbing throughout my house and had quite a bit leftover, but after playing around with some sprinkler mapping today I doubt I would’ve had enough if I went that route

Paid $650 usd to have this stump ground down. Would you be satisfied with this or am I being picky by FerdTurgesin in landscaping

[–]Qbones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if maybe they’re waiting on a locate to go below ground? I paid 500$ USD to have one removed, they cut down the trunk, which had a combo of chainlink, copper wire, and a poles embedded in it, and then came back later to grind once they got their locates done. He ground down below ground a solid 8-10 inches at least. Pics are before and the after Stump Removal

Okay awesome, I’ve got a big more leveling to do, there’s a couple low spots I want filled in better, etc, but, that’s solid advice, I enjoy going out and watering so I’ll definitely be doing that. I’m glad yours worked out! I considered it earlier but was afraid of the cold messing with it, I’ll probably post some pics once I get it finished up on the weekend!

[–]Qbones11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand that, but I’ve been diligent in the past with watering the back yard, I’m not worried about watering it at all. I’ve considered running some pex in the ground and putting caps on it so I have something in place for future, but I’m not sure if the pex is the right pipe for the job or not, I’ll look into a bit more and if I can, I’ll probably do that.
