  1. Huh? The car's race pace was dreadful in Bahrain, but it was improved in Jeddah, and with that came better defense by Alonso. He held George out of DRS range for the last 37 laps of the race, keeping him behind by 1.0 to 1.5 seconds almost the entire time. Put him in a quick car, and watch him go. Racecraft is not a problem for Fernando.

    You are right. I went back and watched it. George could do nothing against him.

    Bahrain he couldn’t hold up anyone, but I think it was the track and car setup.

  2. And Alonso to slide nicely into his car at RBR. I could go for that ...

    Alonzo is getting pretty old. He is still a good driver, but he hasn’t been able to defend this year like in the past. Maybe the AM just isn’t nimble enough this year.
  3. Imagine if the 90s Bulls broadcast focused on the Cartwright and Mahorn matchup and then the switch to the classic BJ Armstrong v Bryant Stiff struggle. Ratings and interest would be through the roof!

  4. After Max took the lead they didn’t show his car again until he crossed the line. It’s pretty jacked that he has had about 45 seconds of screen time while scoring (max points -1) in 2 races.

  5. Yeah but the original comment was that he’d win in a Ferrari. Would he with their pit wall and strategy? We are checking.

    I think max would tell those dudes to get fucked and would win despite them.
  6. lol. Max is running almost a second ahead per lap in FP3

    The spread between 2nd and 11th is about .7 seconds, so that could be interesting.

    Hamilton barely beating the 18 year old.

  7. We brought in a city inspector and he said no moisture (and off the record said the floor was a terrible install).
    Unless we are talking about wood floors, tile doesn't warp. It does buckle though when the thinset doesn't adhere well to the tile. This could be by improper mixing (too dry or wet for example), poor raking or uneven distribution, a dirty surface, or a wet surface. I assume, that it is going down on slab not on subfloor. If it is on subfloor, a decoupler like ditra should be used.

    The floors are MSI vinyl planking. They warp when they installed too tightly and then expand. MSI sent a guy out and he signed an inspection report saying the install was faulty.
  8. Thanks for all the great responses!

    The main issue was the flooring. They installed super fast, so fast that they floored over the drain in the utility room. Once that was fixed we noticed that the floor was not leveled and shortly afterwards started to warp. They blamed moisture. We brought in an inspector who said no moisture and “why didn’t you add a moisture barrier anyway?” At first they agreed and said they would fix it. After a few months of delay they claimed the inspector was biased, but said they would still “make it right”. Then again Crickets. We brought in the flooring manufacturer. They said it was an install problem. Crickets. We brought in a city inspector and he said no moisture (and off the record said the floor was a terrible install).

    The 20k is what it costs to redo the work. There is no pork there.

    Almost every bit of work they did was shoddy, late and with no follow up. Promises of “we will be out there tomorrow to fix it” turned into months. The painting, the tiling, the doors (1 inch open gap on the front door for example, that they did fix after 2 months). But the flooring is all we are trying to have fixed.

  9. kidd likes the offensive spacing he gets with maxi esp down the stretch.  same reason lively wasn't getting burn at the end of games.  another issue is maxi's the only big who can guard the other team's bigs on the perimeter.  as poorly as we guard the 3 point line i think it's a valid point.  i don't know what the answer is though b/c when maxi's out there we're getting outrebounded every time.  

    Why give up the 1st then? It’s like buying a new driver on a high interest credit card and keeping it in the bag to go with a 3 wood off the tee.
  10. We are suing our remodelling contractor for major problems we’ve had post work and work/fixes that were promised and never delivered. The condo is in central Austin.

     

    They have requested a jury trial (to make things more complex for us), so i should probably lawyer up as well. They tried today to settle for half. The trial is set for April 15.

     

    It’s small claims, so the amount is $20k or so.

     

    We have tons of evidence, photos, videos, texts, timelines, etc

     

    Anyone have any recs or advice?

  11. there is definitely something wrong with Haliburton.  I think he is just hanging on with a real injury to try to get the 65 games played threshold.
