    What vehicle do you drive?

    This is the fix I was pondering with my Chevy truck - slightly different main gripe, all that plastic on the backside of the trim has disintegrated, but for me the issue is the pull handle, the power window switch assembly is still holding on ok. I've got the exact same issue with the seat...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I predict that, like the model 3/y, that minimum price is going to be a unicorn specced vehicle you wouldn't want anyway that they'll build for about a week. I'm thinking mid-high 50s is more realistic.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    If I'm the Raiders, I'm scrapping this trade for Justin Fields idea and signing Wilson to a one year prove-it deal for the vet minimum. I really don't believe he's that washed up. If I'm wrong, they're well positioned to draft the qb of the future in next year's draft.

    Home buying thread

    My utility has some convoluted nonsense plan like this now. They even charge a marketing cost as part of the hourly rates, because it's always made sense to me that a utility with a monopoly needed to have a massive tv, radio, and sponsorship budget. Now they can break out their "look how great...

    I feel like they don't look as closely at the ball making it back to the line of scrimmage as they should. I think they're also a bit generous at times with the eligible receiver in the area rule. Conversely, I also recall a few plays this year where they called it on what appeared to be a...

    I think this was the company - the Optimus keyboard. I remember being really interested until I saw the price, was well over $1k. Seems they gave up on it. https://www.artlebedev.com/optimus/ I see the elgato stream deck already got mentioned, that's the one that came to mind for me as well.

    I'm sure you already have your tickets, but on the odd chance you don't, the two unique seats I've been meaning to try are the: 1. Drink row seats (they'll have DRM in the name) in the mezzanine level corners - they're high top seats with a small bar rail in front of you. 2. Gondola seats...

    I only went as late as 2016 because i misrecalled when they expanded the maximum number of rows in Excel from 65k to 1M. Turns out it was 2007. Without that enhancement, I'd have gone with Office 2000, which is about where you landed.

    Honestly, they probably didn't need to "support" any of their Office products past Office 2016. I can't think of a single improvement they've made since then. It's all been continuing to reshuffle/crappify the interface and more half baked web based horseshit.

    On becoming an electrician

    I think the best gig is doing control wiring in a panel shop - usually indoors, mostly self contained and ergonomic, most things land on terminal blocks and are routed in wireway or a loom. Forgiving if you mess something up and easy to test. Money's not the best unless you are willing to go out...

    Teams rustles me severely. I hate having an IM interrupt the flow of my work. I have it set to permanently show as offline - I'd close it completely, but I need to keep it running for emergencies. Problem is, at this point, everyone in the company knows I just have it showing as offline. I've...

    Looks great, I think you just need some shrimp! I'm guessing most of the pruning you do is the water sprite in back? That stuff nearly took over my tank until I let the duckweed proliferate a bit too much and block out the majority of the light. I didn't really miss it, it was far too brittle.

    Sometimes those streams are less than reliable for big events and require a little fiddling/restarting. You could also do a free trial of Paramount+ and then cancel the next day. It *should* be more reliable, although I actually had to switch to one of the pirate feeds for the NFC Championship Game.

    Agreed, could even just be the connector. I'd try re-seating all 4 connectors first (assuming you don't have the dtc to pinpoint the correct one). Each is most likely either 2 wires or 3. If 2 wires the SONAR module is stimulating the sensor, a little harder to troubleshoot if it turns out to...

    The Saturn V was a pretty cool build for the most part, but I found it to be a little repetitive at times (I guess that makes sense based on the structure). Breaking it apart into stages is pretty cool, I think I'm going to do that with mine. I'm going to use command strips though. That etsy...

    It's always the politicians, it's not that they can't, it's that they want this to happen to stir up people. The agencies that are generally liked such as NASA or the National Parks always are cut first. You never see massive layoffs at the IRS or Homeland Security announced. I would consider...

    Great review video. Pretty much solidifies for me that I can't get one.

    Maybe Ossoi is following the spirit of the title of the thread. When I was told Carl Weathers died, my response was "oh shit, that sucks..." However, if someone came up to me and said Barry John or Keagan Kirkby died, my response would be "Who died?".
