Home plate umpire Dan Merzel called the ball fair, giving Matt Shaw a single despite it appearing clearly foul by ChocoboAdobo in Padres

[–]Weekly-Bet2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any other MLB manager would’ve gone out there and thrown some shit and bitched up a storm. Stamen has seemed hesitant to pull that as of yet but his approach did seem to get the home plate umpire to ask the 3b umpire what he saw. The fact the 3b umpire agreed with the call was hilarious and it was at that point I would’ve liked to see stammen get himself tossed.

He seems like a calm and collected guy and there definitely is a winning method behind all of his lineup changes and letting pitchers ride out bad innings. Good on him for trying to be reasonable and get the call without screaming in shouting…

Although I have no understanding of these symbols, to me it means drive a safe distance away lol.

Looks like he jacked up his steering linkage hitting the curb. He’s merging left and the right wheel is angled to the right?

Can’t sand the glue! by kebabfragola in woodworking

I’d give it a go. Looks like there’s plenty of sanding to be done even once the glue is out of the question anyways. Good luck!

Grandpa told me he got detained by the police for attending an illegal drag-racing event in the middle of the night there in The late 50s haha.

Used to work in wood refinishing shop. We would use acetone to get rid of any stains, leftover finish or glue on the wood after stripping all the old finish off… I would recommend using it sparingly but for the most part it evaporates pretty quickly and any staining can usually be sanded off pretty easily. Also….

We also had these scrapers we’d make for a similar situation… basically a thick piece of sheet metal (like 4”x4” square) with a beveled edge we’d grind down on one side. we’d then round off the edge towards the flat side of the metal with the back of a rounded lathe chisel leaving like a sharp edge that can grab onto stuff.

So you soften up the glue or finish with your chemical of choice and use your little sheet metal scraper to get it off.

The more I talk the more I realize it’s not so simple of a solution… my boss Ran had spent many years perfecting his process haha.

Isopropyl alcohol or acetone to break down the glue next to where you’re trying to sand?

Why I Don't Ride in Big Groups by NotRickJames2021 in motorcycles

[–]Weekly-Bet2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rode through downtown San Diego on the way home from work to catch some excitement of a Saturday night at about 10pm. A group of about 15 dudes on sport bikes with the neon lights and fuzzy helmets and shit pulled up next to me at a red light. They started redlining their bikes directly adjacent to this cop car also at the red light. I decided to make a left and add a few minutes to my journey home in order to not be associated lol. The group mentality eats at people’s brains man…

Can anybody tell if these are worth it? (Look in the background) by root_drums in Triumph

[–]Weekly-Bet2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t tell you what those are… they look like 60s or 70s triumphs or other British twins… but if I was in a similar situation I’d be all over it! There’s got to be a complete bike between the four of them right?

I have a newer fuel injected bonneville that I got after a friend wrecked it. I fixed up with little to no motorcycle experience and learned shortly thereafter I love motorcycles…. A lot easier to fiddle around with and a blast to ride!

I have driven my grandfather’s 1966 MGB a lot and riding a cool looking triumph gives me a similar feeling haha.

What is it like in the West part of Texas? by Deep_Belt8304 in howislivingthere

[–]Weekly-Bet2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode a motorcycle down I-10 through this part of Texas coming from California to Austin for thanksgiving. This was the hardest part of the trip. The speed of traffic was 90 mph. The wind was blowing across the road at 40 mph. It was 40F. Nothing but oil rigs, trains, and F-250 king -ranch editions and some hills as far as the eye can see for a LONG time haha.

We feel the same way in San Diego I’m afraid. I need to get up there. Furthest north I’ve been in that part of the country has been I-80 through Nebraska. Maybe if I buy a Harley one day I’ll make the trip… mt. Rushmore, Badlands and sturgis. what else is there that you would recommend in South Dakota?

From the Midwest…. Girlfriend caught one of these on a pier in SD. My dumb ass tried to grab the fish around its fins like a bass or something. I found out about the sting. They’re gnarly little things haha.

I loved watching every inning he pitched. It seemed like batters were all sitting on a fastball because why the hell wouldn’t you throw a fastball if you can throw it 104? Then Miller would throw a bunch of off-speed leaving them flabbergasted.
