word of warning -- do not do a metal music ride anytime soon (lots of the standard 30-min classes are themed, there's a millennial instructor who does a lot of 90s/2000s indie/alt rock who consistently has good playlists, there are hip-hop rides, etc). I hadn't done one before and wanted a good 30 m...

then maybe the better term is mistake-free. he was 19-of-25 for 142 and a TD and had 9 carries for 54 and 2 before the Chiefs took the lead for good. and yeah, he was checking it down and throwing behind the LOS a lot. it felt like a concerted effort by the Chiefs to not get beat deep and make Buffa...

Well, the guy won the U.S. Amateur last year, so it’s not like he’s a schmuck who just got super lucky. Both Tiger and Jack have claimed they view their U.S. Amateur titles as being on par with winning a major. So I don’t think you can make any claims that this is due to watering down of the PGA To...

Wide right. Brutal. I was confident that if that went in, the Chiefs were scoring anyways. this is kinda where I was at. as soon as the third down pass fell incomplete - with the time on the clock and the situation, I figured the Chiefs were getting a field goal to win if not a TD this is controver...

wide right is so cruel. I am so sorry.

oh hell yeah, got a ceiling crack going from the hall closet/pantry in the kitchen to the front wall by the door. textured ceiling too.

Water always seems to find the route you don't want it to find; I'd be skeptical too. Syb, I would seriously post that to some applicable reddit thread and see if anyone else has had a similar experience. "Aha! I have created a slope and low spot for this water to go to" *heavy rain* &quo...

Curious what this kind of work ran you. I had a paving/water diversion guy come out and suggested a dry well. He is going to dig a 7 foot deep hole in the center of the top part of my driveway and install a dry well. He'll run an underground pipe with holes in the top across the front of my backyar...

the easiest fix in this case is that your sump isn't working and you just need to replace it and that solves the issue. I hope that's the play, anyway.

does your current one have a backup system/battery backup? it'd be rare if both pumps had failed if so.

Brontoburglar

have you seen/heard your sump go off? that's where I'd start to rule it out, anyway. worst case is you can pour some water down there to trigger the float

He took a defensive TO with 2 seconds left in the quarter on 2nd and 17. Someone explain that to me. Is it the punter thing? He thought he could make it through 2 more snaps in 2 seconds and make them have to punt without a punter? Is that what I was just witnessed? they just wanted to make buffalo...

the most likely near future scenario seems -- especially with the NFL/ESPN reports -- that ESPN's megacast expands to the Super Bowl and to access the different feeds/channels outside of the main broadcast, you have to subscribe to ESPN+

This weekend is working to be a trial run when they expand to a 16 team playoff. They’ll adjust the season so Round 1 (it won’t be the wild card round anymore) will be MLK weekend. They’ll do a triple header on Saturday and Sunday, and then an afternoon and night game on Monday. And have the player...

This helmet thing is fascinating to me. 1) the military precision in having the backup helmet ready between plays and 2) the fact that the backup helmet doesn’t fit, despite having months to try it out. I think the cold played a role in both events eta: it's uncomfortable as f outside. when the win...

One drain in front of the sliding door. Patio guy said not enough pitch to the driveway for additional drains. I need to find someone more experienced who might have some additional ideas.

I now find myself wanting to re-landscape your yard and solve this issue for whatever weird reason

I know you've probably said this previously, but is this all groundwater? How is your yard sloped? I still have PTSD from all the times my basement flooded and I had to stay up all night with wet vacs, so I totally can relate. it's terrible. Looks like the wife saved out guest room, but the mudroom...

these have been my go-to breakfast bar, but they are also expensive and I've moved away from them. I stock up whenever they're at costco, but $20 for 12 is still pricey, especially when you're buying 5-6 boxes at a time because they're not always in stock (and I don't go to costco more than once a ...

I’m even more confused now — are you saying that a coach can only be considered as part of a coaching tree by virtue of where his first coaching job was? You should know exactly what I'm saying with your wealth of knowledge. Thanks for the comments as always. unfortunately, my genius doesn't extend...

odd argument aside, trying to claim that a guy who got his first major head coaching job directly after spending five seasons in New England and working his way up the offensive staff *isn't* part of the New England/Belichick coaching tree is quite the reach
