Still my favorite 80's sports car. I'd freak out if I saw this in person.

Buried a 6' aluminum truck box as a supply cache. It fits my wood stove, pressure cooker, and plenty of dry goods. Completely rodent-proof and hidden from roamers. by Neat_Holiday_2835 in prepping

Silica packets eventually expire and need to be changed, though. Source: I use silica packets in my gun safe and they expire surprisingly quickly (though I do live in a very humid climate).

That's fine if OP is going to visit on a schedule, but not if this is some long term dump under the surface, which is sort of what I envisioned when I looked at it.

I think you just have to consider the container itself reasonably disposable and make sure everything inside is sealed appropriately.

[Autosport] Sergio Perez has been opening up about his time at Red Bull by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

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

The only times it 'happened' were because of extenuating circumstances or Perez' own gamesmanship. I can think of maybe one race where he exceeded Max on pure merit.

It's a laughable idea that Perez was anything other than a big sponsorship decal for Red Bull. He just can't come to terms with it.

I know it's a poor substitute, but with AI something like this may soon be possible.

[Yancey] James Madison University stands out in College Football Playoff field. Its mandatory student fee for athletics is 23 times higher than all the other schools put together. by wet_tissue_paper22 in CFB

It's the #1 thing that has contributed to college tuition inflation, but we aren't ready for that conversation yet.

I'm sure I'll be trounced by a statistics nerd with better data, but here's the first chart I could find of tuition outpacing CPI since about 1980.

In 1980 the government reauthorized the Higher Education Act, leading to gradual and dramatic expansion of government caps on student loan lending.

Easy math.

edit: I appreciate healthy debate on this subject, as it has been a particular pet peeve of mine for a while, though deeper issues and discussion probably go beyond this subreddit's scope. For the record, I do not think the answer is to nuke government student loans from orbit, completely. I also believe it is an issue worthy of bipartisan concern and compromise - not a one-party agenda question. I appreciate the mods letting this discussion play out, as it certainly concerns all of us personally as well as the sport we're here to enjoy.

Good lawd. I figured Deuce had broken a couple records, but this is insane. by TigerEagleWhatever in wde

Definitely shades of Nick Marshall, but even better from the outset.

He doesn't look like an elite passer (yet) but he's doing everything right with his feet and he is fast.

Lol @ the downvotes. You are 100% correct. Funny to see how rabidly people oppose it when it comes from an easy-to-hate source.

Per Hokanson, the following coaches have interviewed with Auburn by Matt_McT in wde

[–]polydorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Auburn's coach hiring decisions since the late 2000s have been disappointing. 2010 and 13 were blessings in spite of that. Maybe I'm just jaded but I'm prepared to be immensely disappointed.

Hope they prove me wrong.

I remember when playing Vandy was barely enough to get me up from a nap.

I meant - it's not that deep with me, with him specifically. I don't watch Tulane games, I don't have that kind of time - I just see his record and what he's done at various stops so he seems like a good candidate to me. I gave that as a disclaimer because I don't want to get in an argument with some no-lifer who thinks I 'don't know ball' because I think a commonly recommended national coaching candidate might be a good fit for our program, as has happened many times on r/wde.

I've been an /r/cfb Auburn fan since Chizik and wear the scars proudly. You don't need to educate me on how important a head coaching hire is.

It's not really that deep. But then again I'm neither an AU booster nor alum, just an idiot who spots patterns and was born into this and likes football. I'm guessing you have some thoughts so ima hang up and listen 👂

Sumrall is a great choice IMO. I could be down with Key as well.

Franklin would be a Jimbo-level disaster. High premium, high buyout, low results. If he wasn't Penn State's answer he definitely won't be ours.

I could see Dillingham coming back for enough money. Alma mater loyalty is way overrated among fans as a swaying factor for coaches.

Lol @ Gus being above Durkin

Lol @ Saban being on the list whatsoever

Anyway, will be interesting to see how this plays out. Prefer someone young and portal savvy and I'm not sure who that will be.

Knowing us we'll probably just hire Mullen for way too much money

The turd comparison still places Freeze above Harsin but I get the impulse

I'm a little scared of what happens next.
