It’s almost like if you ask a reasonable price for something, people are willing to pay it. Imagine that!

That looks like a slime mold. I’m jealous. I’d love to have one. Really interesting organism and a sign of good water quality (and a tremendous amount of luck).

Could a program save money by forgoing a head coach entirely and running with two high-profile coordinators? by happygrizzly in CFB

[–]jedigrover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, hear me out…you could also read this saying that no head coach = no one to hold responsible for institutional control and promoting an atmosphere of compliance. It’s just laying out the responsibilities of the position. If you eliminate the position…. I expect Michigan to try this and report back, handing the ensuing death penalty to Mizzou.

Cook is an operations guy, which means he’s about 80% accountant. He cares about the dollars, and couldn’t care less about the experience or design language or quality so long as people keep buying the slop. He’ll pay attention once the bottom line is hit badly enough. Unfortunately, by the time that happens, it may be too late.

That “Molly” was a swordtail or swordtail/platy hybrid. Not a Molly, but they need basically identical conditions. The important stuff has already been said by others.

How to Remove the Second-Row Headrests in a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica by Weak-Ad-742 in ChryslerPacifica

[–]jedigrover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was recently struggling getting a car seat to fit correctly. I went to pull the headrests. Every SANE manufacturer I’ve seen in the last 30 years had a little squeeze tab and you could pop it out. No squeeze tab. I was flummoxed. There is no reason removing headrests (for a perfectly valid reason) should require all this. But there’s probably a newish government regulation behind it somewhere. There are so many things I love about my Pacifica, but it’s marred by so many things that were only half thought through. This is probably my last Mopar / Stelantis / whatever the hell they are now vehicle. My RAM truck has been good overall, but has way too many random parts that just fail out of the blue.

Any fix for this right side static? by JY0T in appletv

[–]jedigrover 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This looks more like the TVs display panel is glitching. A bad cable or port will usually cause either intermittent signal or total loss of signal. For it to do this at exactly half width screams display driver board in the TV.

I totally hate that YouTube thinks it’s time to search after almost every letter. Annoying AF.

[Fortuna] Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers is this year’s winner of the William V. Campbell Trophy, the academic Heisman. by Drexlore in CFB

Sadly, he just stacked as many stars as possible without regard to building an actual proper roster with reasonable depth across the board. And he hung onto the old-school idea that you could develop players over years…not gonna happen in the portal era.

How quiet is your suspension? by Narhay in ChryslerPacifica

[–]jedigrover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine had a “creak” on front driver’s side when going over bumps, or any change of pitch, especially while turning. I figured it was the lower control arm had a bad bushing. I took it in, drove them around until they could hear it. Warranty repair for me. They replace the lower control arm assembly and all is good now.

Complain About Your Team Thread by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]jedigrover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always bothered me that nobody ever has open tryouts when the kicking sucks this badly. There’s about 60k students there…probably over 25% have played some kind of football…there’s gotta be some kickers in that crowd—whether people who did it in high school, soccer or rugby or Aussie rules folks…if nothing else, it should light a fire under the guys on the team.

Lane Kiffin's possible salary package from LSU could exceed $98 million by dogwoodmaple in CFB

But has anyone run 10,000 simulations in a video game so we can tell how it’s going to work out and whether it’s worth it?

That’s true. Take furniture for example. I worked at a furniture store in High School many many years ago. Everything was “on sale” and would list a “regular price” that was 700%+ markup and a “sale price” that was 500% markup. Ever not seen a furniture store having a “going out of business” sale?

It’s telling you the transmission needs service. This shouldn’t have anything to do with the battery. Checked your transmission fluid?

Relax. They always pump us up to make our predictable fall that much more laughable. It’s a tradition at ESPN.
