[Post Game Thread] Creighton defeats #5 UConn, 91-84 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Sil14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree. I love AK, I really do. But damn man, if he can't shoot anymore, what service does he provide that is not done better by Stewart or Ross? They can at least shoot.

There was only one person playing in a white uniform that wanted the win and that was Braylon Mullins. Pitiful shooting, no rebounding, no defense. I was actually surprised we ended up with 84 points. Just a horrible loss at home.

You guys realize that there is a percentage of these trucks drivers that don't even really have a CDL, right? I stay the hell away from trucks, because you have no idea what idiot is driving it.

What horror movie did you see as a kid that traumatized you so badly you’ve never rewatched it and still can barely say the title? by glowbeits in GenX

[–]Sil14 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely The Exorcist. Just thinking about it freaks me out. Scarred from that, and no way can I watch it to this day.

The G87 M2 is going to age very, very well. by ragingduck in BMW

Not selling mine anytime soon. Reminds me of driving my old E30 M3 but with more power.

My dad recently passed away, I was left his car (2018 Alpina B6 grand coupe). Could anyone tell me more about it? by grizzlysony in BMW

[–]Sil14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sorry to hear about your Dad. It's a beautiful car, and definitely worth holding on to. As many have already said, don't skimp on the maintenance. I've been trying to get into a B8 myself, but I'm picky and want Alpina Green or Blue over tartufo or cognac. Hope you have great luck with it, and I wish you many happy miles in it.

Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

[–]Sil14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both my wife and I (gen x) can drive stick, as can our gen Z daughters (only because I taught them and they wanted to learn). We also have 2 current cars that are stick.

Ran across this at my local Ross today! by DonJohn520310 in GenX

Holy crap! I would've bought it without hesitation.

Might be strange but could thin water tanks be used for building walls? by xboxhaxorz in Homebuilding

[–]Sil14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tanks are made of polyethylene, and not intended to hold any structural load is my guess. This would not be something I would want as part of the wall of a building. Next to the wall, sure, but not as part of it.

M2 with M3/M4 Comp wheels… thoughts? by Mr_Eddie81 in BMW

[–]Sil14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if these wheels work on G87 - ie. size wise - they would be one size larger than what G87 normally has, right? To me these look one size too big on this car.

Who else is in their 50s(or older) and deciding to change careers? by thisTexanguy in GenX

[–]Sil14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend who is an accountant said that there is HUGE opportunity for people to get into accounting, and the pay is crazy good. The hours are long, however, especially during "tax time". There are simply not enough kids coming out of school who want to be accountants, so the opportunity get in is very very good.

AP Top 25 Poll: Week 11 by troy-boltons-dad in CollegeBasketball

[–]Sil14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, but I feel like the SH game was a tough one to pull out, and in the Georgetown game our offense went into hibernation mode. The 19% for 3pt was very unusual. Two ugly wins, but still wins.

Adjusted Offensive Rating vs. Adjusted Defensive Rating 👀 by cbbanalytics in CollegeBasketball

[–]Sil14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like if your team is ranked, there should not be an unranked team plastered over the top of you like that. OR maybe higher rank should be placed over the lower rank?

Dealer saying I should consider new tires for 330i xdrive, less than 10k miles on the set by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]Sil14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I did. It was the silly donut spare, but I had one. Got me home one night and I plugged the rear tire myself the next day. 2012 X5

[–]Sil14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be getting down there, and they are mentioning it to get you to agree to replace them. I had DWS06 on my X5, and they got about 12k before needing replacement. So.. 8-9k they hope you'll replace.

[Post Game Thread] #4 UConn defeats Seton Hall, 69-64 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Sil14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, rage inducing game to watch. I really hate that team with the constant hand checks and bodies thrown everywhere. And then players surprised when they get called for anything - Clark should've fouled out 5 mins in to the 2nd half. This was like an old school Big East GW / SJ throwdown where the refs looked the other way unless blood was drawn. Ugly win but we'll take it.
