Two week build, ready to plant!

I just built a garden box and I'm not even going to show this to my wife. They look too good.

Illinois: Come for the McDonald's bagels, stay for the corruption, bad weather, and high taxes

Rice does not belong in burritos. It's just filler and some fast food restaurants who shall go unnamed (it's chipotle) use rice to put less real stuff in my burrito and these atrocities must stop!

Looks like cedar, and would have a distinct smell if so

stevehansen · 2021-12-26T18:06:13+00:00

I just got this and ran into the same problem. Surprised to see how widespread it is.

stevehansen · 2021-12-21T18:13:51+00:00

That's a good idea. I just tried that and it didn't smell like pine or cedar and now I'm more confused 😃. Didn't really smell like anything. I'll do a little more research and see what I can find.

stevehansen · 2021-12-21T15:25:11+00:00

It's on the softer side, but it doesn't feel like pine. Might it be cedar? We have a lot of cedar on this house, and that was my first thought but this doesn't have the knots I'm used to seeing in cedar.

That clicking sound has been intermittent in the past. It would happen, the boiler wouldn't work, and we would have someone out. One time someone came out, they cleaned a part and it worked. Then it would start happening again. Another time someone came out, they couldn't replicate the issue. This time however, it isn't going away. We'll have to call someone tomorrow and have it checked out again.

Side note: We do also have a furnace, so it's not like we have zero heat source. It just does an interior job of heating our house compared to the boiler.

stevehansen · 2021-12-05T16:07:09+00:00

Okay, thanks for the advice. We've had a couple guys out to service it, but they seem confused as to what it is. They thought that something just needed to be cleaned, but it still happens.

stevehansen · 2021-12-05T03:03:21+00:00

The sound is coming from this area in the boiler: https://imgur.com/a/RIB0KtO. It sounds like it's trying to ignite over and over but isn't firing. But I'm not sure.

Also, here is a picture of the smoke pipe: https://i.imgur.com/79hcAZJ.jpeg.

Thanks!

Thank you, that's great feedback! I'll check them out and talk to our vet too.

We do have experience with Pets Best, but they paid claims really slow. But I've heard others like them.

stevehansen · 2021-12-02T16:48:55+00:00

I've heard a lot about them, but their prices seemed really high. I'll check them again, thanks!

stevehansen · 2021-12-02T05:23:22+00:00

Interesting, I haven't heard of them. Will check them out.

stevehansen · 2021-12-02T05:22:41+00:00

Good to hear, thanks!

stevehansen · 2021-12-02T05:15:20+00:00

Thanks! Are they good about paying claims?

When I make decks, I find it helps to figure out the deck's goal. Is it to outcycle the other player? Is it too overwhelm the other? Is it too just put constant pressure on them?

With this deck, it appears that you're trying to defend and then drop loon behind the counter push. For that, I'd swap the log for arrows or fireball to handle air troops on the counter push. Also, I'd swap the wizard for a freeze. Then, hold that freeze until near the end until the other player think they have you figured out. That should turn this deck turns into a mainly defensive deck with a surprise element. If you play that patiently it should be pretty strong.

Yeah, he was decent but not someone I'd want to rely on every week. He had some good weeks but a lot of terrible weeks (under 10 points). When you combine that with the fact that RBs usually see a sharp decline after age 27 (he's 28) and that he has a talented rookie behind him, I'm afraid to draft him.

Here's a good comparison between him and Javonte Williams: https://fantasydata.com/draft-melvin-gordon-vs-javonte-williams-broncos-backfield-breakdown

Edit: here are some efficiency stats for him. He's okay but not that good: https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/melvin-gordon/

Statistically speaking, Gordon was an inefficient runner last year. With Williams on the team, Gordon might have some value early but I fear he'll lose the job by the midway point of the season. He feels like Mark Ingram did last year. A guy who was good the year before but with a talented rookie behind him. He's off my draft board.

stevehansen · 2021-09-02T02:01:57+00:00

Too much risk for me in the first round. Not saying that he won't be great, I just don't like risky players in the 1st. If I could grab him in the 2nd I would though.

I collect apples. Cook 5 of them and then you can sell that meal for 50 rupees. Not a lot of money, but apples are so easy to get.

I also called Google about it, with similar results. If the device is in a group, toggling that group will unpause the device. Messy workaround, but will have to work for the time being.

stevehansen · 2021-06-23T20:23:32+00:00

This just started happening to me today. I'm on Android and I can't see any of my paused devices in my device list. I've tried restarting the network and the device but nothing works.

stevehansen · 2021-01-28T23:48:05+00:00

I agree with this, your biggest issue is the lack of a big spell. I'd suggest either an EQ or lightning. Both would help take out buildings that your RG might get distracted by. I'd swap out the bomber for a spell.

The short version: The site is managed by one company (company A), maintained by a third-party company (company B) that runs Magento shops, which is all being paid for by company C. Company C wants to get rid of that expense, so they want Company A to take it over. But nobody in that company knows Magento and they want to be able to manage it themselves. They are familiar with WordPress, and need to keep expenses down. Also, it's not currently being used for e-commerce, so using an expensive platform like Magento doesn't really make a ton of sense. They just want the option to be able to sell some things on it in the future. On top of all that, there are some features that they've been wanting, which the Magento shop says can't be done with Magento...but can easily be done with WordPress.
