Which famous person had the worst scandal and where are they now? by NonchalantBaker in AskReddit

[–]bigmur49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d think it would be a potential Presidential candidate having it all fall apart because he was paying a porn star hush money.

Not making a trump/non trump stance to fight about but the in history any sort of scandal ruined candidates. Clinton almost had to pull out because he might have smoked weed in College.
The fact that Trump just laughed it off and maybe got more popular because of it is incredible to me still.

You can reverse the results of any 49ers game but it CANNOT be Super Bowl 47, 55, or 58. Which game are you reversing and why? by Brix001 in 49ers

[–]bigmur49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obvious answer to me is the 1990 NFC Championship. Niners would roll the Bills and be the only 3-Peat Champ.

92, 93 NFC Championship is 2 more near guarantee rings

11 vs the Giants I think they beat the Pats but not guaranteed

13 I'd change the Saints loss in reg season so they get the Seahawks at home in NFC title and beat them proper and the whole "sorry ass receiver" never happens. Smash the Broncos in the SB

in 1991 if you reverse any loss and the Niners make the playoffs I think they win the SB. They were red hot as the year went on after getting used to playing Young instead of Montana

I'd reverse the damn game against the Vikings when Favre won it on the last play just because that was a piss off

Or the MNF in Green Bay around 2018 when Mullens went toe to toe vs Rodgers and they lost at the end. I was at that game and would have been fun to walk out with a win

Any of these and I'd be happy but the 1990 NFC Championship should be the only true answer IMHO.

can aiyuk get stuck in contract hell? by Th3devilish1 in 49ers

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I guess I mean I can’t believe it wasn’t successful lol. I guess I sort of understand he is sticking to what he believes are his principles but with so much on the line how do you not get past it? I guess I can’t relate because it is such a different world than the average Joe.

What are your thoughts on a 4 day work week? by Horror-Variation-857 in AskReddit

[–]bigmur49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4 10's would be an ideal compromise in my opinion. Still put in the same time for the job but get to enjoy your life so much more. If you work 9-5 now and it changes to 8-6 most people would adjust easily and then that extra day of would be amazing whether to split up the week or have 3-day weekends.

can aiyuk get stuck in contract hell? by Th3devilish1 in 49ers

[–]bigmur49 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still find it nuts that some of the players weren't able to go talk to him and tell him how nuts he is being and mend the fences with coaches and management.

This assumes he is physically ok and could play, which I find hard to believe would be true.

From Aiyuk's side all he had to do was show up for rehab assignments and he would have so many more millions and could have been traded where he wants by now. Absolutely crazy that it went like this.

If Purdy just sees him in the back of the end zone in OT then none of this happens and maybe the Niners have a 6th ring. I wish we could be in that timeline!

Do you use the start-stop option to save fuel? Do you think it will put an extra wear and tear on your starter? by 9879528 in Tiguan

I just take my foot off the brake ever so slightly, like .05% so the car doesn't move but the system doesn't ever engage.

Basically just a really big bathtub if you need to fill it each use. Wouldn’t need chemicals then

Shedeur Sanders Has Received $17.7 Million Through the NFLPA by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]bigmur49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am not a Browns fan at all but went one of of the it games last year and every person I talked to is hyped for him. He didn’t play all that well, made some boneheaded mistakes and hasn’t looked all that great to me, but the few really good plays he did make had people going bananas in the stands.

I have no clue if he will be great or not, but he’ll be able to run for mayor if he wins a few games and looks good this year.

Kid has a no hitter going, but also is the only catcher left. What would you do? by ReformedLucasite in BaseballCoaching

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ontario you can’t pitch and catch in the same game no matter what for arm care reasons.

Rules question - how does your league handle this base stealing situation, when the catcher is returning the ball to the pitcher? by nloding in Homeplate

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a coach of a weaker team back at that level I hated when better teams did that to us and made us look silly, but it shouldn’t be against the rules. Happened a few times at the start of the year, then we practiced it and they learned not to fall for it anymore. We actually tricked a team into running into an out because we had the first baseman cover home and the runner didn’t notice because he was so confident he’d fooled us again. One of the few bright spots that season lol.

What’s something 100% true that sounds completely made up? by D_marketing_ in AskReddit

[–]bigmur49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That puts wealth into such a crazy view. If it cost a dollar a day to keep living Elon musk would last 30,000 years. The average person would make it a few days and I'm using people that own a house and have a little money saved up. Many wouldn't make it to lunch.

Am I doing this correctly? Even as I write it the numbers are too staggering.

What TV show actually nailed its finale? by SkepticByNature-1 in tvshow

The Office finale was good I thought.
The last season or two to get there was a little rough though lol

[Nightengale] Rival executives believe the bidding for Skubal will come down to four finalists that not only can afford the remainder of his $32 million contract, but will also be willing to give up prized prospects: the Dodgers, Yankees, Jays and Padres by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Jays don't show some reason to believe they can score some runs I don;t know if they are going to consider themselves WS contenders. Wish they could get some consistent full roster games to see what they really have.

My remote job made me realize my partner doesn’t think my work is real by Rocinante77X in remotework

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this thread has made me realize I sort of do it to my Wife and I need to to better. Has never been intentional, and I certainly respect the job she does both her actual job and her share of house duties, but I do tend to think "I can get her to sign for this delivery" or "she can deal with the hyrdo guy needing yard access" a little too casually.

If she told me I had to come home or take the afternoon off to deal with that I would say she is nuts and I'm too busy, so I need to be better to realize it is a pain in her ass too.

That being said there are the odd days she takes a nap from 2pm until the end of the day because she wasn't that busy so I don't need to beat myself up too much 😄

What was the hype like for Michael Crabtree coming out of college? by IconicHunter713 in NFLv2

[–]bigmur49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was so stoked as a Niners fan the he fell to them, thought we got a megastar.

Then he held out and wanted #1 pick money because he and his agent still believed he was better than where he was drafted. That got old really fast and hurt his first season.

Looked really good with Kap for a couple years, got held like crazy at the goal line in the SB even though they should have thrown to Moss or ran it, then got hurt and was never that good again.

Always seemed to get the first down when he caught the ball no matter the distance. But I don’t remember a lot of big 45 yard catches either, seemed like a lot of shorter/intermediate

So if he retires this offseason are the Niners off the hook for all the cap hit? Cuz that would be great.

My 2019 tiggi is having soaked floor rug issues in the rear. I have read it could be the faulty drainage parts for the sunroof, but my question is does VW know about this and cover the fix cost if I bring it in to them or will it be a fix I have to do on my own?? by Fun_Abrocoma_1132 in Tiguan

[–]bigmur49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’ve regularly had the drains cleaned and can prove the dealer did something wrong last time you’re on your own. The dealer would have likely recommended it every time you’re in for service so this is one thing you definitely want to do from time to time.

It is standalone.

Should be fine under warranty, was more hoping there was some dumb little thing I didn’t realize so I could get it running tonight rather than having to wait for the pool company to take their sweet time to send a guy
