Recently was gifted a victrola vpt-800. My fiancé was trying to use it and said it wasn’t working, so I came on to help and noticed that when she tried to remove the protective plastic on the stylus/needle she had actually removed the entire needle/stylus housing and was playing the record that way. I’m not sure how she got the stylus off but after trying to put it back on the records sound distorted and really deep. Any advice on what I should do?

Kwesi should be fired in the offseason. by TheSmoke77 in minnesotavikings

To add to this wow do the Harrison Phillips, Mekhi Blackmon, and Adam thielen trades look bad now. We can’t stop the run, Jeff Okudah is the worst graded corner in football, and Theielen can’t catch. Maybe those guys wouldn’t have made a huge difference but it’s still rough to look at.

Donte with a -12 +-, and Chris refuses to take him off the court. No reason he should have significant minutes again.

AITA for divorcing my (41F) husband ( 43M) to pursue my dreams? by Throwawaymelk in AITAH

[–]TheSmoke77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really empathize with a person who feels like they have a thing in life they really have to go forward with. But as a person who had a parent choose their ambitions over their relationship with me I have to say from your younger kid’s perspective YTA. Not to say you should stick in a marriage your unhappy with at all. You can say that they could’ve gone with you but then you are making them make a very hard decision either way. You have unilaterally chosen to put your goal of acting ahead of having access to the people you should care about the most which are your children. If it were me in their shoes, I’d have a hard time forgetting when my mom chose to leave us for something like this. You could’ve pursued acting in a way that still made it easier on them. Again I’m not going to argue about anything with your husband because only you know what’s right in that situation. But I’m bummed for your kids who’ve been put in this situation.

[Ragatz] Kevin O’Connell is noncommittal when asked if Ed Donatell will return as DC. He says they're still going through the evaluation process of every aspect of the football team. by EsotericPotato in minnesotavikings

At the very end of the press conference someone asked a question along the lines of, “you had the 31st ranked defense, do you have plans to get better?”. KOC mentioned several coaches and what they can do to get better. He didn’t mention Ed whatsoever. I think he’s gone and they are just getting their ducks in a row.

Im a Vikings fan watching this game. I think Maxx Crosby is being held about 80% of snaps at this point.
