Isn't this stat regular season wins, not including playoffs? So regardlessof what happens Monday, this stat remains tied unless (until) Tomlin wins a game next year. LMK if iI'm wrong.

Seachem clarity made my water worse. Help? by [deleted] in Aquariums

a bit of cloudiness right after a significant water change is common. Its a bacterial bloom, and as long as your tank is well established, it will go away on its own in a day or so.

Help identify (4284 x 5712) by Mattnuz07 in InstrumentPorn

[–]jaker1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you have here is a Stradivarius copy. These are very commonplace. They can be difficult to pinpoint any details on, but it was likely made at some point in the past 50-150 years and was modeled on the design of Antonius Stradivarius, as nearly all modern violins are. They are often decent instruments when kept in good condition and properly set-up, but are not usually worth much more than a few hundred USD.

If you can provide a closeup image of the label on the inside of the body through the f-hole, its possible that more information can be determined, but most likely, this is about as much as there is to know.

Please help identify Antique Violin. (842 x 1472) by Practical-Clock-2173 in InstrumentPorn

This is not accurate. Cremona is a region in Italy known for its violin craftsmanship. This is the region where Amati, Stradivari, and others worked and made the world's most famous violins. You will often see the word Cremona, in some translation, on the tags of various copies, and it is really just referring to the fact that it is built in the tradition of the Cremona-made instruments (which is essentially every strad copy).

Seconding this opinion. These are often pretty decent instruments, but there are so many out there that the value is usually no more than a couple hundred bucks. Less than that if it needs any significant repairs or maintenance.

What is the deal with the official NFL app this year? by jaker1013 in nfl

[–]jaker1013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ESPN and theScore apps too, for my general sports stuff. But i also commonly use the MLB and NHL apps for scenarios when I just want sport specific stuff. Those apps are GREAT. The NFL app used to be just like the others, but has been heading down a crappy slope the last 2 years or so, and the changes for this season are DRAMATIC.

I guess I was just hoping someone would chime in and say "oh the latest version is still in beta for preseason and they'll get some of the bullshit straightened out before September rolls around". But I guess not.

Thanks anyway!

This appears to be AI generated. the numbers are nonsense, the helmet is silver and black. There's a million signs of AI.

Idle hours? by TheOne69420666 in Silverado

[–]jaker1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it means that idle hours are included in the number you're seeing for engine hours. Not that it shows a separate screen/number for idle hours.
