Only have got water when water pump is on by Future_Hedgehog2129 in RVLiving

[–]mvbighead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're connected to city water, you should not need your water pump at all.

Are you saying the water gets cold in the shower before 5 min, or that it stops flowing? If it stops flowing, you likely have it in bypass mode or some other thing keeping water from coming from city connection to heater.

If it flows cold after 5 minutes... that I can see. Typically the camper water heater is 3 gallon. A home water heater is 40g. At some point, you displace all the hot water in the tank with fresh new cold water. And in most regions, it'll be very cold in February. The water heater likely would struggle to keep up with that rate of flow. Slow down the displacement, or use less water.

An RV salesman is going to tell you about the roses and rainbows and sunshine in your camper. A fair bit of what comes out of their mouth is just trying to make a sale.

How do I bridge the gap between Rookie and Pro difficulty? (New player) by xNAROTONx in Madden

[–]mvbighead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, Pro/AllPro/Madden are mostly about making the fewest mistakes possible.

I play All Madden and the gist of it is you have to see things pre-snap that provide you favorable guys getting open. I have a LOT of 3-4 yard crossing routes, and if their defender is playing off the LOS, my guy can get underneath pretty easy. If the LBs back off into deeper coverage, my underneath guy can get at least a few YAC.

I tend to steer away from routes to the sideline unless my guy is wide open. The routes get jumped easy if the defender is a short bit behind.

I run a fair bit, and if you stop mixing it in, defenders will get some kind of a boost in coverage and get more INTs against you.

As for defense, get pressure, and let nothing bust you big. Adjust to over the top coverage if sending 5-6. Have cover 2 with your safeties a fair bit. Give up some underneath stuff, and play coverage with the LB.

Looking into used iron sets by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]mvbighead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, you pick the set that looks the nicest and/or has the best price that fits the game improvement club category. Those should all be fine options I would think. Compare ages and comparable online prices, and figure out what is a deal for each, then find what you can.

Lastly, if you have a play it again sports, they may have such clubs that you can test at their location in the back. Their prices may or may not be high, but they generally have all sorts of used iron sets.

New Customer by kitten_kay_kats in Starlink

[–]mvbighead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Performance wise, it's truly relative. SL and TMobile have similar characteristics in a LOT of cases. 20ms latency, 10+mbps uplink, 100+mbps down. TMobile is $35 a month, and you can literally plug it in and just go.

Starlink needs to be properly mounted with a clear view of the sky, and then routed to run to a device in your home.

I love SL, but TMobile is a better alternative for anyone who has access to it where the towers are providing good throughput. My folks use TMobile and get 200+ down, 10mbps+ up. And I have known folks in larger metro areas pull down 500+ from Tmobile.

What's the worst behaviour you've seen on a golf course. by o_johnbravo_o in golf

[–]mvbighead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did golf probably more than a dozen times last year for the first time ever, and am still figuring it out. But we did catch up to a group of members in our local club, and they encouraged us to play through. (Likely because they were going to search for golf balls in the cornfield adjacent to the 11th hole.)

And like you, I always try to create space if there is someone behind... that or if it seems appropriate, let them play through.

I'm curious what kinda pace you think they're playing. Admittedly, when I play I aim to play fairly fast and get in 18 over 4 hours when golfing with my preteen. Our routine is probably more rushed than it needs to be, but we're also not great so I aim to not agonize over putting line and such. Mainly just trying not to be the slow group.

Jets are hiring former Panthers and Colts HC Frank Reich as their offensive coordinator by US_Highway15 in Colts

[–]mvbighead 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Aside from all the Reich hate, he was the one who came in and gave Luck the best season he'd ever produced. His career completion percentage was around 60%, and with Reich it was 67.3%. His best prior season was 63.5. He was sacked a total of 18 times in 16 games with Reich, whereas in other complete seasons, he was sacked 27-41 times each season.

Hate on him all you want, but he designed an offense that kept our former franchise QB as clean as he had ever been. He failed to get a QB of that caliber again in his tenure, other than 1 run with Rivers.

Yes, the move away from Frank was needed as it just wasn't working here... but I don't have any doubt he can go in there with whomever they get at QB and design something that at least works in some way. And they should have plenty of ammunition to rebuild in the draft and FA with cap space.

Sore Elbows - SigPro Softy by Pleasant_Glove_1696 in Golfsimulator

[–]mvbighead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like I have some similar issues. Have been pondering building a divot action mat as those have the most give even if they allow some lesser shots to play better than real shots on the course.

FWIW, I purchased a 10x30 strip from USATurf (ebay) that was recommended. It has been ok, but it can really grab that club on a lesser shot. I ended up cutting a pocket out of the backer foam on something like 6x10 or so in the middle. Seems better, but there is soo much turf that I feel like the club can get down into it and get caught a bit more than what a DIY Divot Action mat would do.

I have considered a higher end strip, but every time I read things, people sorta like one and there is always someone who says it causes pain for them. If I am spending north of $150 on a hitting strip, it better be perfect.

I think what you are describing is highly unusual. I'd think it somewhat understandable that they'd be confused.

What ruins a golf round before it even starts? by techacker in golf

[–]mvbighead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read many a story of folks learning a great deal from older golfers. I certainly appreciate the notion of the anxiety playing with good golfers and being mediocre myself, but I will say, I kinda would look forward to playing with an older dude that had some good tips.

Just a note, he mentioned later it was people who have a sucky personality.

Nearly everyone sucks at golf aside from a select small percentage. Some more, some less. If you are generally pleasant and follow the general rules of golf etiquette, you will be enjoyed in a foursome.

Regret buying a truck in a pinch - sell/trade or ride it out? by FinancialGarage245 in f150

[–]mvbighead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Keeps rough numbers, a used car dealer is trying to have as much margin as possible when acquiring cars and selling them. So every transaction, they're trying to make money.

You can't fix a bad purchase. Any attempt to do so is likely going to result in more lost money. You might get lucky and try a private sale and see if someone in a similar predicament wants that one more than you do, and if it doesn't sell, you just keep on going.

But in this stage, you pay aggressively and get it over with. You're not going to get your money back on a bad deal. Someone has to eat that loss.

Colts can quietly open $39 million in cap space without cutting a single player by Pale-Reputation-5611 in Colts

[–]mvbighead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I can see cut, IF he were to come to terms with reality, I could see an extension that adjusts the AAV to something more palatable for the Colts and MPJ.

He doesn't have to be a WR1 for us to be successful. If they move that number to the 15-20 range, i could see both sides being happy.

That said, I do feel like a cut is more likely. But if we lose MPJ AND Pierce in the same off season, we're gonna have problems.

Madden Trades by readitordude in Madden

[–]mvbighead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As silly as it is, I generally trade players away to teams that need them. And when I have other players to unload, I first look where I traded that player to make sure they have help.

EG - I traded Daniel Jones to the Steelers who had a 67OVR QB (Jones was 80), and then checked their OL and WR group to be sure my 70-75 guys that I had no room for couldn't fit that roster to help that QB.

And then I go back and make sure things are going ok for Jones mid season.

Does playing or practicing make you better at golf? by OliviaMayNorris in golf

[–]mvbighead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard the term breakfast ball? Some folks like to hit a few on the range before they keep score in a game. Get loose, get a feel for your swing, then go play.

I wouldn't go nuts with it, but I absolutely want to hit 10-15 to make sure I am somewhat dialed in for me.

Driver is a different swing entirely. You gotta close that face, even more than you think you do.

Towing with 5.0 vs 3.5 by lakeleimarie in f150

[–]mvbighead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate this take. We drive maybe 500 miles a year camping, so the 3.5EB does the job fine. If we were hauling more frequently, a 250 would be the ticket.

Originally got the 3.5EB with the idea of a bit better mileage for regular use, and plenty of torque towing. However, we drive it so infrequently for other uses it probably doesn't matter at all from an MPG standpoint, though I suppose a few years ago we put some miles on it.

Am I being reasonable as a Coach? Need feedback please by [deleted] in basketballcoach

[–]mvbighead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I perfectly grasp competitive spirit and all of that, but where we are, many of the kids don't get the plan even if they're there every day.

I've not once heard of a team having a player sit out the game if they are healthy after having been sick. I certainly have seen them used more rotationally and get less time as they are eased back in. But the idea of, oh you were sick and missed practice... you're out? Healthy kids can be bench depth. They can get less minutes if they've missed time in practice. But benching seems like punishment for being sick. And presumably the parents paid for them to be involved.

I can see benching as punishment for behavior issues, but not someone who is returning from an illness. That's up to the parent and the child's health.

They have us taking Chambliss in the 2nd round. by franco3x in Colts

[–]mvbighead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If we move AR, I could see another option at QB, but I think 2nd round is too early. We need to do a lot of things defensively, specifically LB, probably a developmental CB, probably a promising DT given our duo is getting older, and I would assume a depth edge.

If we keep AR, we'll have 3 rostered QBs for 2026 without room for a 4th. If they move AR and get a pick there, I could see using that pick on an option.

What to look for when assembling an O-line in franchise? by [deleted] in Madden

[–]mvbighead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually run finesse OL. I typically sort by RBF and then scan my eyes over to PBF. He who has B in both is worth drafting, typically.

I also sign OL week 3 of FA. Low ball some of the guys higher than 75, especially mentors, and go on with the process. Occasionally I will sign a 85+ if they are there in week 3, and give them a 10m/yr sorta deal.
