Window Salesmen: Renewal by Andersen quotes a quarter of the value of your house for window replacement (I think we got quoted 3700 / window) and their sales tactics are more aggressive than a used car salesman. What they do is not terribly difficult, but most of the big box stores won't sell drop-in replacement windows for standard sizes, so even Lowes / Home Depot get you by the short and curlies trying to force custom orders and install fees. HVAC techs. Granted, when you're paying $400 for a capacitor replacement, you're paying $20 for the part, $100 for the diag and labor, and $280 for not having to drive to the HVAC supplier and waste half a day to get said part and do it yourself. My number 1 complaint about HVAC is the suppliers seem to be open from 10a to 3pm M-F, and you usually find out your crap's broken on a Friday afternoon at 4pm. Either pay the tech fees to get it fixed in a few hours, or sweat out the weekend and hope you can get to the parts depot first thing Monday. Plumbing, well, you pay the premium for the tools, experience, and most importantly WARRANTY. The barrier to entry to do PEX is a big enough step to keep most plumbers in business.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
6th Street replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Arch really lit up that prevent -
How do we have the 13th ranked schedule? Our G5 NONCON are 2-17 against NON FCS schools. We've played two teams with a winning record and are 1-1 in those games.
-
Road games at ND and LSU doing the heavy lifting for them.
-
I forgot that we blocked a FG and they did a defensive chop block against our FG unit which ultimately yielded a TD. I know everyone was mentioning the missed FG, but those are two other easy points missed that went our way.
-
Ah, that's a good point.

I can imagine.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Drew replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Basically what I've been saying. The 4th quarter, much like the 4th against Florida, it looks like Arch was playing looser, not thinking as much and just making plays. Maybe it was just as simple as spreading it out and simplifying the offense. Maybe it was more that Miss St just stopped blitzing. Either where it's there...but we still need him to be able to stay on track and move the chains consistently by making the simple throws too. -
5 wimenz, 50% pussies.....;)

Beat someone that actually matters. They are 7-0 (1 FCS), with a SOS under .400, and have a margin of victory of 9.1 points per game against that schedule.

He has our longest run of the year.

Same for Landman. If all his shows are stuck at Paramount, he's gotta reboot everything? How much can he copy? Hire all the original actors and give them new names?
-
And that is/was a severe miscalculation. Going to OT with Kentucky and Mississippi State is an indictment of playcalling ability, not a validation of it.
-
I didn't say the trade-off would be worth it (and Paint it Black is fucking awesome). I said we'll get what we get, and we'll call it a win, no matter how stupid a loss we take. And even one American life spent on "conquering" a country that doesn't constitute any material threat to us--solely so the "peace president" can simultaneously pretend to be a badass AND distract from his deep relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile--is a fucking loss.

Breaking News The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
gernblansten replied to TexasMan's topic in Football
There are probably three things required of Sark at this point to rebuild his relationship with Surly. It has been rocky. He's gone from "he's a genius! did you see him scheme that Bama WR wide open on a LB!" to "he's a fucking loser" to "Sark's led us out of the desert to the playoffs!" to "seven win Steve rides again" to "he's the reason we got Arch!!!" to "he's the gotdamn reason we got dipshit Arch!!!". To heal the current state of things, based on this 31 page thread, he needs to: (1) clarify whether he actually called the 4th down play in 2005 and/or whether as associate head coach he could have overridden Lane's call and didn't; so he regrets it because he called it or regrets it because he had authority to change the call and didn't, (2) clarify if anyone in his orbit reached out to NFL teams in an effort to leave after this season, and (3) provide a DNA test for this kid in question. -
Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow

Exactly this. His 'phase 1' already delivered Argentina's first full-year surplus in 123 years and crushed monthly inflation from ~25% to ~2%, all by slashing things Argentina can't really afford (subsidies, costly public works, and a big public sector). And while poverty is still high, the latest stats show it’s falling (though critics argue the numbers cloud a complex picture). His planned 'phase 2' reforms will be just as big and polarising, whether deregulating the labour market, simplifying the tax code, or privatising another ~20 state-owned firms. https://www.thetimes.com/world/latin-america/article/javier-milei-argentina-elections-2025-f3k6jbbf9

Sark's offseason:
-
The delusion of a Blue Blood HC knows no bounds but this was more power related than money. There are no coincidences and timing lines up perfectly after everybody and their mom called for Sark to give up play calling duties. The threat from Sark/Sexton was to let him have total control or he has gonna take his ball and go to the NFL.
-
There aren’t many HCs or up and coming coordinators (both NFL and college) that seem like a sure thing to fill all these vacancies. Some may turn out to be magic and the rest duds. There just are not a lot of sure things for all these spots.

Is it made of nickel? Or Stanley nickels?

I like Paint It, Black and Fortunate Son as much as the next guy, but I'd prefer not to have another failed US war to get their successors.

How the fuck Aggy have the 14th ranked SOS?
