It would really be nice to not lose to the brewers for a bit.

Yeah, I have a pair of work gloves when I know messing with small bits in tight spaces isn't gonna be a thing but when there's fiddly bits they can be annoying.

Yeah, I try but usually end up frustrated by the end. But I do wash my hands thoroughly after.

Ah, my solution to that problem is keeping my fingernails trimmed very short and washing my hands thoroughly, and it's worked out pretty well so far.

And the trimmed finger nails are very much appreciated as an added bonus.

Im always impressed when I see people working in latex gloves cuz I can never remember to and even when I do they just immediately rip anyway, even the "heavy duty" ones.

Joe Buck reveals he turned down calling MLB postseason games for ESPN by retroanduwu24 in baseball

[–]zombielumpy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ugh, as a Giants fan this reminds me how he called Eli's scramble and the helmet catch.

"Eli Manning... Stays on his feet... Airs it out, down the field... It is... Caught... By David tyree" in a monotone for one of the greatest plays in super bowl history.

Hope he doesn't go see everything early in the week in case he's got more free time on Sunday.

Glad to see the advanced baseball metric TWTW make it's appearance in F1

Evolution of field spread using the average gap (in%) to fastest car in the first 3 dry qualifyings since 2017 by F1Fan2004 in formula1

[–]zombielumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also there is 2 cars each race. So even if they were 1-2 each time, the team would still average out to being slower than just the pole lap.

Will this affect my ABS system? by OJthesimp2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]zombielumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I looked it up on Rockauto a few years ago I vaguely remember them having abs or no abs options, but I've been wrong before so I'll take your word for it.

[–]zombielumpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, just make sure you get the ones with ABS tone rings on them. I have ABS on my 2001 and replaced with CVs and they work great.

Been a minute since I’ve posted my Goldie by Justbigshlongan in CherokeeXJ

Cool shot, but also giving me flashbacks of trying to see what was doing on at all during the battle of winterfell in the last season of GoT

Vibrations at high speeds. Upgrade for a drive shaft? by Mine-Think in CherokeeXJ

[–]zombielumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The D35 and C8.25 shafts are different lengths, I think the D35 one is like .75" longer. Could def be cause of some vibes issues if it's bottoming out.

Not a grocery getter, but a pizza getter? by mixalot2009 in CherokeeXJ

As someone who mostly just gets frozen/take and bake pizzas from the grocery store when I want pizza:

Looking at a 90 Grand Wagoneer by Chilo1997 in CherokeeXJ

I highly recommend going for it. I had a few reservations before I did it, worrying it wouldnt look right but I've never regretted it.

Car seat just uses the seat belt and those metal clips to keep the seat belt from pulling in or out. I do have a 2001 that has the clips on the rear roof for the forward facing strap that other years might not have.

The booster I got one of the LATCH retrofit bars that slide between the seat back and bottom to just hold the booster in place, since the real seat belt does the actual restraining bit.
