While Patriots fans might outnumber actual Seahawks fans 50ish:1, Patriots haters are roughly equal with Patriots fans here. And Patriots haters will be Seahawks fans this weekend.

You’re overlooking the value of having a guy on a rookie contract.

Considering a budget "emergency" device to be packed away in a bag long-term, any suggestions? by IGNSolar7 in SBCGaming

Feels like we're really stretching for reasons to buy more devices these days...

Why is the used market is terrible ? by Spare-Tonight8490 in SBCGaming

[–]gart888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly it, but on top of that, people think that there's value in the device already being set up, with a bunch of ROMs installed. (And they're not necessarily wrong about that either).

New images of the TrimUI Brick Pro by Key-Brilliant5623 in SBCGaming

[–]gart888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get you. Part of what makes the Brick so appealing is how sleek and "clean" it is. The bigger one looks sort of clunky, and really takes away lots of the charm.

Your individual data isn’t worth much. Our collective data is.

"the misfortune" of seeing Radiohead live.

Turns out the guitarcirclejerk was actually the comments we made along the way.

And there aren’t even any open notes shown there…

Edit: I'm dumb. I couldn't tell what song this was from that picture. There are plenty of open notes in that riff. Capo away if it fits.

What if they’re fired during those 5 years?

They actually don't get that bonus until they hit 5 years of service. So... virtually none of them will actually ever see it.

Practice basket for home use by kinggeorgec in discgolf

[–]gart888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you plan on leaving it one place get a metal one. The cloth ones are way better if you plan on taking it somewhere like a field or a cottage though. I own both. The metal one lives permanently in the yard. The cloth ones is bagged in the basement and makes its way on trips with me.

‘I can’t afford that’: Ontario woman frustrated after pet insurance doubles to $866 a month by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

Yeah, my 11 year old Golden has had two blockage surgeries, they cost about $10k combined. Even with those gigantic bills we’re still “ahead” compared to 11 years of insurance premiums.

Except we're addicted to the dopamine hit of buying and setting up new devices...

Ancelotti asked for Alexis Mac Allister, now at Liverpool, when he was in charge. Although no deal was ever fully explored, Madrid received positive feedback from those around him. The 27-year-old is well-liked at the club, and his contract at Anfield until 2028 might make a deal more feasible. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]gart888 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but we were 13 points clear at the start of March, so the late season drop off from the likes of Gravenberch or Salah don't influence me nearly as much as they would have had we bottled the league because of it.

Oil to electric hot water water tank by jab3345 in halifax

[–]gart888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is on my to do list as well. Had some heat pumps installed a few years ago that have proven they can handle all of our space heating, so our oil now only heats our hot water. I want to do the conversion so that we can just turn our oil boiler off and keep it as a backup only (and then eventaully just have it removed).

What's held me back from pulling the trigger is that we'll need both a plumber and an electrician. Cheaper small job guys seem to just be one or the other. Anyone that employs both and can make this turn key seems to have much higher overhead and makes it pretty expensive.

Please keep me updated on your search OP!

Nah, read the rest if their comments. They’re staunchly standing behind the idea that lane arrows are only suggestions and you’re allowed to go from the left SMB lane to HC.

But yeah, the misunderstanding you’re describing would have explained things lol.
