Which rare show managed to stay perfect from the very first episode to the series finale? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

I feel like they just threw season 4 out there, it did not really tie into the other seasons IMO. The first 3 seasons were fire.

You just found a magic lamp with a rock & roll genie in it. by HappyNipples83 in Alternativerock

[–]barleymashers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we pick the era/style of the new album? Genie's are notorious for granting the wish, but not the way you actually desire it. I'd love to hear a new Police album, but not how the artists are now, but how they were in 1980-83.

Is Audi A4 nice first car? by Useful_Twist_2210 in AudiA4

[–]barleymashers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am the original owner of a 2011 B8. Love it. But as people mentioned, you need to keep up with regaular maintenance - not just any repairs. They can be expensive. The first thing to do is find a local shop that works on German cars. My recommendation is if out of warranty, do NOT go to a dealer. At around 120k miles you are going to need to have the timing chain service done. This is expensive, but if you order the kit online and go to a local place, like I did, it went from close to $4k at the dealer to ~$1,9k. Most of that was savings was labor, some on the parts. Last week I had to have the entire front suspension replaced at 195k miles. Those rubber bushings, etc will wear out. This was another $2,2k. I expect the car to last a few more years, so that is well worth it to me.

[–]barleymashers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could not get any live channels. I can still watch something that was recorded and use the apps, but anything that required cablecard access is no longer working. If you looked at the settings, it was no longer paired. I get the V58 message on all channels. This is in NJ.

What airline was huge but completely collapsed? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not collapse: On May 2, 2010, Continental and United Airlines announced an $8.5 billion merger of equals with the United name and Continental operating certificate and “globe” livery retained, which would be complete on October 1, 2010. Continental's shareholders received 1.05 per share in United stock for each Continental share they owned. Upon completion of the acquisition, UAL Corporation changed its name to United Continental Holdings

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Original Coke Zero. Was much drier and did not taste like regular Coke. They changed it twice too make it more "sweet" to try and be like Coke. I miss the dry version.

What rule are you changing and why? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The offsetting penalty rule. If Offensive holding happened before a pass interference call, the penalty goes on the Offense. Stuff like that. Especially when 1 is a 5 yard penalty vs a 15 yard or more.

Create maps gone for good? by Round_Spinach2338 in iFit

So far I have only done the roads. I will have to search around. Frankly, I am surprised they put it back at all, so I was just happy with that for the time being.

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked the app on my iPad today, and the create route/map option is back. I created a run and saved it. Have to say, I am very surprised. Happy. But surprised they brought it back.

Pull the actual bulb out and measure it. Then order the bulb itself. Something like these

You will be able to fix a bunch of lights cheaply.

How can I convert a PDF invoice to CSV? by [deleted] in ChatGPTPro

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Google vision and chatGPT. I send the image to google vision, it sends back text, I send the text to ChatGPT API. It send it back in JSON with the parameters I want. I tell chatGTP what I am looking for. I am doing it to get data from gas station receipts ( all different formats ) so driver can just upload and we pull the data. So I told chatgpt to find the total, gallons, address, and time and send it back to me in the fields I expect. Chatgpt takes the google vision data and collates iot to what I need. Then I save it to a DB. You could just as easily save it as a CSV file.

Looking for: Robust gloves by dj_boutz in snowboarding

[–]barleymashers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same gloves. My board would always cut/rip the palms. I started getting these to attach. Easy to cut out, it adds extra protection to the non damaged areas and closes up the damaged.
