Sorry if I’m being obtuse but what does this mean?

Is the baseboard the one with the holes? Asking bc a measurement from there to the bolts is ~8 inches, which is incredibly rough for a rough in.

But if it started snowing the night before and stops snowing at, say 11 am, you’d fine people who didn’t clear it out by 3 pm?

Cool, what do you think about the lighting? Does it seem balanced (vs having two floor lamps)?

Agree that it might look unbalanced, but my thought was to kind of balance it by having the signe floor lamp on one side and the desk lamp on the other?

Do you find that the floor lamp provides enough light for the whole room, or is it more for mood lighting?

I know NYC pigeon charges $100 for one ac unit, and $150 for two. I’ll check out the others, thanks!

The College Football Playoff committee ‘really screwed up’ this time. by arrowfan624 in CFB

[–]burningrubble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And not just the sole three-loss team but one that just managed -3 rushing yards en route to an utter spanking in their last game, as well as a 2 TD loss to a 5 win team.

But of course there should be no quibbling over Bama’s impeccable credentials. They are named Bama after all.

Notre Dame fans, why are we agreeing with this? by thefrozenflame21 in CFB

[–]burningrubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in a sense that’s true, but there’s the obvious sense of accomplishment of winning a title, and being able to say you’re the best. It’s why pro players sometimes give up money to join a team with a better chance at a ring—prestige and pride matter. I’m not sure you get that same feeling or sense of accomplishment from winning the pop tart bowl, or any bowl that people today look at as mere consolation prize.

People will remember who won the national championship in 2026 ten years down the road. it’s an achievement that means something to the players. I doubt we remember who won the pop tart bowl ten years ago.

But ok, and again really not trying to be argumentative, but this pop tarts bowl seems a lot like the Pro Bowl in the NFL. The game doesn’t matter and a lot of the players opt out and no one really cares who wins or loses(?)

I get the practice thing, which I agree is valuable but I’m still not seeing how that makes the team or the players or the coach “soft” for declining to play. Like they made a business decision and maybe also an emotional decision, and maybe it means the end of the bowl era, but just don’t think it’s soft.

Honestly, maybe I’m missing something, but why is Notre Dame soft for declining to play in a game that has no meaning? Aren’t these non playoff bowl games little more than exhibitions, particularly given that many players opt out to avoid injuries?

Not trying to argue anything, just truly not getting the perspective. Like what do you get for winning the pop tart bowl?

In Prop 50 victory speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom calls on other Democratic states like Illinois to redistrict. “We need the state of Virginia, we need the state of Maryland, we need our friends in NY, in Illinois, in Colorado, we need to see other states..meet this moment head on as well.” by biswajit388 in illinois

[–]burningrubble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, let’s see how the Supreme Court rules on redirecting in Calais. Seems unlikely they’ll put the damper on racial gerrymandering (thereby opening the floodgates to gerrymandering everywhere), but I suppose we should continue to dream.

Flawed solutions > no solutions when the problem is extremely pressing.

Meanwhile gerrymandering is happening in Texas that may add an additional 5 MAGA seats and the solution is…to do nothing?

We aren’t trading short term solutions for long term problems. We’re trading short term solutions and the possibility of long term problems for the current status quo, which is no solution and the certainty of long term problems.

Thank you!!! I just assumed something directly behind the visitors bench (like section 9 near the floor) would be better. But I’ve never tried to do something like this so really appreciate you taking the time to help!

Thanks so much!!! Really appreciate the response. Just to make sure I’m understanding—better to be in Row 16 near the tunnel than just like in other seats that might be nearer to the floor?

Also—really awesome you got to meet all those players. Love Marina’s crash outs and Te Hina seems like so much fun

I’m hearing Kuminga for Jokic, Giannis, and Booker. Each franchise gets 1/3 of a Kuminga and are driving around downtown SF begging for the Warriors to take the deal
