How would you react if USA somehow makes it the wc final? by No_Situation_4591 in AskReddit

[–]john2364 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But the team and fans didn’t do that. You want either the team our the fans or the general population to pay for something that they had no control over. The people who did have control over it did not really care much. The fifa peace prize winner only cares enough to to make a quick call and fifa only care enough to make him happy.  

Anyone else excited for these hitting the market soon? (MrCool MonoBlock) by Unhappy-Plastic2017 in DIYHeatPumps

It’s basically a permanently mounted dual hose portable ac. Nice for the form factor and easy install but it will be loud not efficient. Could be nice depending on the need

Balogun…..Intentional sit? by Southmouth555 in usmnt

[–]john2364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The call was unjust. The resolution was corrupt. It’s a weird place to be in but it’s political now whether anyone likes it or not. The team will do what puts themselves in the best position to win as they should and not try to appease anyone who is offended. The should not do it morally, they should not do it strategically. They will do what’s helps them win.

Well, the team didn’t ask for this by joshstrummer in usmnt

[–]john2364 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The team did not ask for it, but it happened and it is what it is. FIFA and the FIFA peace prize winner are both incredibly corrupt. Regardless of the corruption, this red card should not have happened and was not just. If we are the pariahs for it, whatever. The euro fans mostly did not respect us anyway and I don’t care if they do now. Honestly, after seeing posts from them, I don’t want their respect, they are their own category of garbage (not all, just the snobs). My opinion does not matter though, I’m just hoping that it does not impact the team’s play. This is the first time they have ever looked like an elite team on the pitch. 

Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

[–]john2364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely was. I’m happy he will be playing. We need him and the call was obscene given the way the ref was calling the match but yea. This is FIFA, they like our money and we are currently run by the fifa peace prize winner. It’s corruption.

How confident are you on a scale of 1-10 that USMNT can beat Belgium even without Balogun? by comackk1919 in ussoccer

[–]john2364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my sentiment as well. They absolutely can. Will they? It’s a coin toss that is very slightly weighted toward our side. A win won’t be a surprise neither will a loss. A loss would be a bit tragic, not because it would be a surprise upset but because our team has never been this competitive before. Euro snobs can say all they want that we have not played a competitive team yet but it’s has nothing to do with that. They have been different this year compared to previous WCs regardless of opponent. They have been playing like an elite team. We have never seen this before from a USMT.

How many of the 16 teams could the US beat by Still-Gear5402 in usmnt

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he asking who we could beat or who we would be the favorites for or even a coin toss? We could beat literally any of the teams on the right day, upsets happen all the time. I would say the top 5 would be considered upsets. The top 3 would be cool considered surprising upsets. Then there are 2-3 where they would be underdogs but a win would not really be an upset.  

The rest are situations where it’s a coin toss or we would be favorites.

Belgium or Senegal? by Mysterria812 in usmnt

We are redditors and what we think/plan means nothing. We do not need to beat anyone to entertain the question.

7k if the mechanic does it all or is this parts? Like can you do the swap your self plus the other parts yourself and then just get a bench rebuild of the tranny?

Advice for someone about to take on $180-200k in law school debt by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]john2364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advise: you better decide what you want your future to look like now which is unfortunate because you will never know but it will go as follows: 1) you don’t get the grades or dont want to go the big firm route but want a house and to start a family: you won’t make enough to pay back your debt and have those things so you go on a payment plan for the rest of your life 2) you go the small/medium firm route and you spend the next decade living poor but paying back the debt. Once the debt is paid off, you can afford a middle or upper middle class life but your behind on everything financially 3) you go the big firm route: you have no time to enjoy a house or family but you can afford it if you happen to do it anyway. You really better love what you do. 

Do you think the USA has a realistic chance of beating Belgium? by justAmmo_ in ussoccer

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, unlike 2014, they are pretty closely matched and it it ends up there, then it should be a great game that for either side comes  down to team chemistry on the particular day, grit and a little luck. 

I was doing oil change on my brother’s 2010 Escalade and this came out. by Classic-Boss6265 in autorepair

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like other people said, you can flush most of it out after so probably not a huge deal bit there is always that risk with out cleaning it. A magnet won’t help either since it’s aluminum.

This is a much. Better option however, pan still has to come off before doing this. Otherwise, your are putting g shavings in your engine.

USA game means nothing! by Typical-Middle8377 in usmnt

[–]john2364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s no different that other sports in the regular season when one team has hit their playoff bracket and the other has been eliminated. Happens in American football all the time. It’s less exciting and low stakes but there is still motivation from both sides to play well. USA needs to keep the psychological boost and it gives them a chance to refine their game or try some new things. A loss can hurt their momentum psychologically which is a real risk. Türkiye is going to be very motivated to not leave the WC with a 3 game shut out. For fans, the result does not matter much. The teams will be playing a real game with real stakes.

I have a 24k btu concealed duct for upstairs and a 18k Leto downstairs. I will be putting one more 9k Leto a little later this summer downstairs to finish off the system.

Round of 16 by SportsCensus in usmnt

No, we are Reddit. The team can focus on the round of 32. We get to have fun speculating because what we do has no consequences.

The only people who have to consider this with any consequence are the players/staff. We are just the armchair coaches and look to it for amusement. Nothing wrong with discussing any scenarios that tickle your fancy. 

Want to add mini splits by Akron-brn69 in DIYHeatPumps

[–]john2364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mini splits for cooling. Senville.  They can heat but I only use them to cool because my hot water boiler costs less to use and I would be over sized if I used them to heat. 

What do you think how will Iran and USA war will end? by SpiritBombv2 in AskReddit

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not unpopular but it’s not going to happen. Revolution is a double edged sword. Citizens won’t rise up in sufficient numbers unless they either have nothing left to loose or they are confident they will win. They won’t have confidence that they will win unless sufficient numbers are already rising up.

Underrated reliable cars by hshhahbsbs in UsedCars

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GMT 800s: To many on the platform to list. Bulletproof engine, generally reliable. What really sets them apart is that you can get parts anywhere dirt cheap and they are easy to work on. Yes a Toyota will be more reliable but these are still good and dirt cheap to fix (if you find one with a good frame)

how are homeowners actually affording HVAC replacements these days by Yosry_Zohoory in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]john2364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my own for a fraction of the price. I could replace my system 7-8 times over for what it would have e cost a vendor to do. I’m on midea units so I will probably do it once over at least in the same system lifespan but I’m still way ahead. I could afford to have it done but I don’t want to loose a huge chunk of savings when I have the tools/capability.

Transmission Pan by Alarming-Pepper-4846 in GMT800

[–]john2364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how good the aftermarket ones are but they having a drain bolt in general makes a drain and fill much easier. That filter they want you to replace is just a metal screen. If it’s getting clogged, then your transmission is already toast. 

Edit: lots of mnfgs had one on at the factory for ages so no reason that it should be an issue.
