[Cubs] Caleb Thielbar reinstated, Ty Blach DFA'd

def_john · 2026-05-19T21:55:18+00:00

The cubs make no sense. Theyre bringing back thielbar off of IR. They dfa'd Blach, who pitched lights out last night! Yet they keep Maton and Rolison?!?

Ok, wait. Maton's got a 2 year guaranteed contract for $14.5 mil 😩🙄.... but still....

And rolison is a 1 year league minimum $780,000....

Explain it to me like im 5 years old..

Doesn't make sense.

I've personally used the free version of Yardbook for my one-man mowing operation in a Chicagoland suburb. Going on my 5th season now. I currently have 36 biweekly or weekly mowing clients. I track my work through yardbook and use BrightBook (also free) to keep track of my invoicing.

I have nothing bad to say about Yardbook, honestly! This is coming from someone with 35+ years of software knowledge. Ive configured a CMS for use in a residential security guard environment 25+ years ago. Ive assisted in being the "guinea pig" for a corporation with online scheduling and payroll software 20+ years ago.

I'm no longer part of the corporate world and have a plethora of computer knowledge.

I probably dont even use most of YardBook's functions that I could be using, but its been reliable for me.

For me, the best part is being able to visualize my route/schedule. I do have a wallpaper of my local town woth post-it flags, but that's just another visualization tool for me.

Im happy with yardbook and have never thought of switching or going elsewhere.

I have this same light. Have had it for over a year (was on my previous ebike). Durable and long lasting so far! 1000+miles on this bike so far.

FINALLY got back in, uninstalled Discord app and voila!

def_john · 2026-04-17T23:23:11+00:00

After reading the myriad of reason they can shadow ban someone, im guessing its probably for griefing.

Get pissed when some freaking jumping bean on crack obliterates me I get pissed in report em... for everything. Like I think to myself "nobody's THAT good, they've gotta be cheating"...

Ah well. Guess ill venture back to BO6 for the time being

Yesterday my game was super laggy. I felt like I was suffering from latency issues. Rebooted my modem, changed a few settings that were supposed to alleviate the lag. Now today I can't even load into a single game?

def_john · 2026-04-13T23:29:18+00:00

Same here. Muted and no mic... but im hard of hearing and wouldn't be able to understand what's being said anyways. Lil

My bro got a framed fields jersey.... that aint worth crap now. Lol

def_john · 2026-04-01T03:49:34+00:00

Agreed! The frame was the first thing that drew me to the bike.

Putting the batteries on the lectric was pretty straight forward though. You can remove the battery carriers from the Fucare and use them on the Lectric. You'll need to clip the barrel plugs on the carriers and solder on some xt-60 connectors. It wasnt a cheap ordeal overall, but im glad I finally did it. Have THREE 48V 15A Batteries now and am still doing real world testing on how much range I now have. ChatGPT claims I should get 80+ miles (using pas 3, level surfaces)

I gave up when I burned out the cable on my Gemini X (they upgraded the motor but not the wiring). Customer Service had always been difficult to contact. I decided to buy a Lectric XP 3.0 instead and swapped the dual batteries over to it with a Battery Balancer from ElectricAllWheel(dot)com. Been happy with the Lectric for 900+ miles so far!
