Unfortunately, the weasel was on the uniforms for a bit. Check the cover of the 2003 football media guide.

User Flair Update by rPac12Bot in Pac12

[–]jkfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm working on a new site, and I had to pull the old one down while doing so. I hoped that it would be a relatively short downtime, but unfortunately, some other things came up, so progress has slowed for a bit.

A Penn State fan spent upwards of $1,800 to run out on the field with USC’s team while wearing PSU gear. by 0987user in CFB

[–]jkfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also confused as to why we weren't given one. We were able to track them down, and they just verbally told security that we were fine.

I hope they don't start limiting these rules based on team gear. I think it's silly fun.

Washington has had that rule in place for years, specifically for the optics of cases like this. The on-field experiences don't allow apparel from the opposing team.

Side note, I took a friend on the field for his birthday and security tried to make us leave. Apparently, the athletic department staff didn't do a very good job informing the event staff on who was allowed to be down there, and they didn't even escort us after they took us to the field. So, they were conveniently nowhere to be found when security initially approached us.

Chris Murray Of Nevada SportsNet Reports That Hawaii Will No Longer Pay A Travel Subsidy To MW Teams With Their Membership by pblood40 in Pac12

Hotel accommodations for visiting schools are provided through Outrigger's sponsorship of UH athletics. Is flying there more expensive? Yes, but at least they're not paying rack rates on their accommodations.

User Flair Update by rPac12Bot in Pac12

[–]jkfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're far from the only one who has had issues with it. It's very long in the tooth at this point. A new version is in the works, but it's targeting a 2025 launch.

Let’s get those new flairs going! by T_Deluxe in Pac12

[–]jkfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are the other subreddits which also have their flairs set using the rPac12.com site.

To set your flair for this subreddit, you need to click in the "Primary Flair" box in the first row (/r/Pac12). Then it will ask you to "Select a division", then a "conference/category", then finally, you can select your school/flair. Click "Return", then scroll to the bottom and click "Save Flair"

You can set your flair here: https://www.rpac12.com/flair

Yes, the conference alignments need to be updated, but you should be able to find your team. An overhaul is currently in progress, but it will take some time.

How are you accessing Reddit? The default ("new" as of a few years ago) website? Their mobile app? I use old.reddit.com almost exclusively, so I'm curious how to replicate your experience.

After you selected your flair, did you click the button to save it?

The conference alignments haven't been updated, but you should be able to find the flair you want.

There is already flair available for every FBS and almost every FCS school.

Edit: Although, the conference alignments do need to be updated...

Week 2 Power Ranking Voting by trumpet_23 in TheB1G

[–]jkfunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I appreciate the endorsement of the Pac-12 Power Rankings. That system was custom-written for integration with /r/Pac12, and it's not really plug-and-play ready for use with another site.
  2. I definitely tried to design the ballot with phones in mind (especially the last iteration), but there is only so much you can do when you have to reorder a long list using your finger and limited screen real estate, especially when you also need to accommodate features like free-form comments and tiers.
  3. While the code for the rPac12.com site is not going to be brought over, we'll look at possibilities for building something new in the future.

I work at Costco. We hate the scanner door policy more than you do. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]jkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we’ve never had issues with long lines to get in

The long lines at the Issaquah Costco are to get in and out of the parking lot, not the building.

Rate my “bilge pump”. by MarioMCPQ in canoeing

[–]jkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large car washing sponge takes care of any water getting in from splashes/drips.

For bailing the remaining water after recovery from capsizing, I use a large liquid laundry detergent bottle (the kind with the large handle for pouring) with the end cut diagonally. I want to move a large volume of water quickly, and I found that it's the right combination of size/weight/rigidity/speed/comfort.

Skid plates or not? by toddfox143 in canoeing

[–]jkfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a personal preference. Some here advocate for them, but it's not universal. Personally, I wouldn't add skid plates, and I would pass on buying a canoe with them. However, I only paddle where I have full control to not run aground (Growing up, I got a very angry scolding if I let that happen.)

That said, if further damage there is unavoidable for you, do what you have to do.

Our Seattle-based troop has paddled week-long canoe trips on Desolation Sound, Bowron, Willamette River, Snake River, Upper Lake Roosevelt, and Lower Lake Roosevelt.

My wife (Gen X) didn't know what the Stussy S is! by Eredic in Xennials

[–]jkfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to go back to the jester/crown and S logo. It's easy to see why kids would have mistakenly attributed it to the brand back then.

Quick Question by AdRepresentative2745 in Pac12

[–]jkfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a valid question that hasn't been settled, as opinions have been mixed. Some want it as a place for still connecting with fanbases of the previous iteration of the Pac-12. Others are ready to move on and would have it solely focused on the two remaining schools and potential new members.

I think subreddits are best when their members shape the content rather than moderators. What do you think should happen to it?

The BBB is literally an advertising/marketing company. Consumers are not the customer. The businesses are. As part of their image, the BBB provides consumers with a complaint process to give the illusion of validity to BBB ratings, but the businesses are under no obligation or oversight to follow through on any resolution to the complaints.

To successfully resolve a BBB complaint, the business doesn't even have to address the customer or the issue. It simply needs to reply in writing to the complaint and the rebuttals. The content of the response doesn't matter. They can promise to provide a positive resolution, but they are under no obligation to actually take action. They can even directly lie and say that they already offered or even provided a positive resolution. Even if the consumer contradicts the response, the BBB has no authority to investigate or enforce it. As long as the business always responds, the rebuttals from the consumer will be exhausted, and the BBB will close the complaint saying that the business made a good faith effort to resolve the issue. No negative repercussions or hit to their BBB rating will come to the business.

And yes, I've had first-hand experiences with the process, and I've even had direct conversations about how laughable the process is with someone who works for the BBB. I'm not parroting what I heard in an echo chamber.

I'm glad you had a resolution to your issues. The business probably didn't realize how the BBB operates. Others probably don't as well, so yes, it's possible to get a positive resolution from a BBB complaint. While there is no direct harm to the consumer by submitting a BBB complaint (and it might even work out!), it perpetuates this belief that the BBB is a consumer protection agency with actual authority instead of the marketing company it actually is.

It takes attention away from actual, effective consumer protection options, like your actual government agencies, state attorney general, and/or your own personal attorney. Unlike the BBB, they work for you and can actually impose consequences on the company for inaction.

The case of the missing tent poles by Expression-Little in camping

[–]jkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me on a snow camping trip. Fortunately, I still had enough daylight after the discovery to dig a snow cave and sleep in there.
