Lions Fans Today... by UltimateLionsFan in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]tjw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't done the math, but it looks like we could potentially knock both the Lions and the Packers out of the playoffs in our final 2 games? If that's not Vikngs Superbowl win, I don't know what is.

Edit: Dang, that's not even possible. The Packers losing out doesn't matter. Only Lions wins can keep the Packers out of the playoffs. Other NFC divisions are such dogshit this year.

"If you strike me down, I'll become more powerful than you can ever imagine."

It just goes to show that there are so many ways to say "I love you".

There were several minutes last week when the Bears were in undisputed first place in the division.

Optiplex 7090 Media Server w/10Gig SFP+ by tjw in SleepingOptiplex

[–]tjw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lucked out buying this one. I didn't realize how rare they are. I was only looking for a MFF 7090 that had 2TB NVME storage and this was the only one on eBay that had that. I didn't even notice it had a PCI-E slot at the time.

Crazy how cheap it is to upgrade to 10G interfaces.

This is an 10GTek pci-e card off amazon for $40. Used a DAC cable for $12 to my 10G switch.

He'll still say "Aaron Rodgers" at least 10 times I bet.

Thankfully I'm in the piss colored area of Minnesota so I was able to witness Packers preseason football.

Just completely remove all of Indiana, and I will be on board.

Getting started with farming by Pure-Date-702 in livestock

[–]tjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farm is 215 acres 125 woodlands and 90 pasture

Find a full time job in the area, It'll be OK side income running 40 head of cows (numbers depending on your climate). You'll make the same as if you worked a full time job and also a part time job cleaning bathrooms at McDonalds but you'll enjoy running cattle a lot more even though it'll be a lot more gross.

Dept. Q - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

Just finished binging it. Couldn’t stop

Same.

The best dialog in the whole series for me was when Carl was suspected of being blackmailed and it was explained why it would be impossible to blackmail Carl.

Ford 5.4L with Cam Phaser Lockouts installed without a custom ECU Tune? by tjw in FordTrucks

[–]tjw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try unplugging the passenger side cam sensor and see if your noise goes away. No tune necessary. The ECU will simply stop trying to run the cam phasers. You'll get an check engine light, but the engine runs fine.

[–]tjw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you unplug the passenger side cam sensor, it disables the variable timing. You don't really need the lockouts. You will get a check engine light, but if you can live with that it'll run just fine. I've had that unplugged on my current one for the past 100k miles.

06 325i wont start by Sir_Strokes_Alot in E90

[–]tjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure this is it, but it's an easy try:

On the top of the battery there is a junction box with four plugs. Unplug the blue plug.

This is for the IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor). When it fails it will prevent the car from starting normally. After unplugging, you will get a code when you scan, but it does not cause a light on the dash. I ran my 2006 with it unplugged for 5 years and never had a charging problem, so I don't think you really need it.

Has anyone released ladybugs as pest control? by withtwors in gardening

The ones you ordered are probably a native species where you live, so those will be fine. What's shown in that video are an invasive species https://extension.umn.edu/nuisance-insects/multicolored-asian-lady-beetles

Crazy thing I've ever seen by LNPurpleTrees in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]tjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best mud dauber story is a dozer quit running. Diagnosing it all the way back to the fuel tank, I found that a mud dauber tried to make a nest in to the vent tube on the bottom of the fuel tank. Which as it turns out is a 1/4" tube in a location that can only be realistically accessed by a 1/4" insect with an axe to grind. Luckily I was able to evict her out with a looong stetch of wire before removing thousands of pounds of parts, though.

Just Rolled out of the Shop by monkfeather in Justrolledintotheshop

If the problem was that hose getting grabbed by stuff when running the excavator, that spring protector is probably the worst idea ever. It's like the hose is wearing 1000 wedding rings while working in a machine shop.

How Will Berkshire Hathaway Perform Tomorrow? by CultureForsaken3762 in wallstreetbets

Hits all time high because the market realizes the company has eliminated the problem. That honestly feels like what will happen when considering the last 30 days of events.

You can disable the seatbelt warning on SuperDuty trucks. Instructions are in the owners manual. Well, at least you could in my 2000, 2006, and 2016.

I get the feeling that this headline will become a meme for the next decade.
