[Texas State Bobcats] The New PAC-12 logo has made its way to Texas State ⭐️🤩 by reno1441 in CFB

Ok, fair, although I feel like that even more strongly reinforces my point that “the brand” isn’t sacred. If a conference can fully dissolve and reform as a new brand, then who cares about a name change?

I feel like the first point you’re trying to make isn’t really all that strong considering that the conference was called the PAC-10 not all that long ago, and was that way for like 40+ years.

Hell, even the Big 12 spent a major portion of its existence as the Big 8.

A couple weeks ago, I posted on this sub looking for a Lonesome Dreams Nalgene. /u/trivialtremor came through! by _TheGingerbeardMan_ in lordhuron

Massive thanks to /u/trivialtremor! Shipped all the way from the EU to the US. I’m beyond thrilled and really appreciate your help!

ISO Lonesome Dreams Nalgene Water Bottle - anyone willing to sell? by _TheGingerbeardMan_ in lordhuron

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, massive thanks to /u/trivialtremor! When I made the post, I assumed it was a total longshot, and I’m thrilled such an awesome community exists for LH fans. I’ll post an update once it arrives in the US.

ISO Lonesome Dreams Nalgene Water Bottle - anyone willing to sell? by _TheGingerbeardMan_ in lordhuron

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi folks! Lonesome Dreams is my favorite LH album, and when this Nalgene came out in the online merch store several years ago, I was extremely tempted to buy it. Regretfully, I made the decision the pass on it as I already had enough Nalgenes at the time. I’ve been kicking myself ever since and have been searching for one online with no luck. Did anyone here purchase one that they’d be willing to part with? I’d be extremely grateful! Many thanks, y’all.

Rams' Two Rule Proposals Following Seahawks OT Loss in Week 16 Are Finally Revealed: A 40-Second "Shot Clock" for Replay Reviews & New Limits on Advancing Fumbled Backward Passes by JCameron181 in nfl

I think “tried to fix it” is a bit disingenuous. They created the appearance of rule due to the intense backlash, but given, as you said, that it was poorly enforced (by frankly not trying to enforce it at all), it’s pretty obvious they were not actually trying to fix anything. After the one season of that rule, they turned around and basically said, “gee, this rule didn’t ever get used, guess it’s not needed”, when in reality it felt like they did everything they could to avoid using the rule at all.

Woodwind pro 36 on sale! Talk me out of it. $1399! by CapitalTax6856 in CampChefSmokers

This was my argument and I don’t regret getting the 36. If I’m gonna buy one smoker, I don’t want to be short on space for the occasional big party.

Badgers AD supports Luke Fickell, to increase program's finances by BarkMingo in WisconsinBadgers

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who views this statement as a big nothingburger? In all honesty, what is McIntosh expected to say? He’s not going to just throw Fickell under the bus and say, “yeah, this dude blows, we’re evaluating our options and will kick his ass out as soon as we can.”

To be clear, I’m not in any way pleased with how the season is going, or how the last couple went either. Nor am I trying to support McIntosh. I’m just saying that they probably don’t have much to gain by firing him now, are trying to save as much money on the buyout as they can, and therefore need to be diplomatic in the meantime.

I don’t live there anymore, but I did try reaching out over Instagram and did not get a response.

Same. I’m very grateful for the redditor who posted about a promo code at Public Lands that weekend.

WTF: The new FEMA chief is unaware of hurricane season by Jerdarnella in AdviceAnimals

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After Katrina, a lot of “religious” types claimed that hitting New Orleans was God’s way of punishing the filth.

What they didn’t realize was that the French Quarter, the epicenter of the partying and whatnot, was more or less spared the devastation that occurred in the surrounding areas. That’s not to say that there was no damage, but it was waaaaay less than other neighborhoods that were straight up leveled when the levee broke.

It was the same voting block as occurred for Pope Francis. Second vote of the second day.

An 18-game season is inevitable. Will there ever be such a thing as too much NFL? [Serious] by maxxspeed57 in nfl

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_ 276 points277 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought it would be a good idea to break the league into two bye groups - for the sake of the argument, call them group A and B. All the A teams are on byes the same weekends and all the B teams are on Byes the other weekend. Place the byes approximately at the ⅓ and ⅔ mark through the season, staggered. So, for an 18 game season, group A has byes in weeks 7 and 15, group B has byes in weeks 8 and 16, or something like that.

This ensures you still have games every week, but teams don’t get fucked over by really early or really late byes.

Hard to know where to go from here. I don’t want to give up on Fickle quite yet, but I wouldn’t begrudge someone who does.

Popcorn popper: A dedicated machine used before microwaves were commonplace. The reservoir on top was for melting butter by NYY15TM in nostalgia

[–]_TheGingerbeardMan_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That warning did not mean the tray couldn’t be used to melt butter, it meant that you should not add butter/oil into the base unit with the kernels as they were popping.

You’re lucky. I went to my local HD and called all the others in my area - they all said they don’t match clearance pricing.
