  1. One of my all time favorites. Good luck with the sale!
  2. Anyone have some outdoor speakers they're looking to get rid of? I'll even take them if you bring them to me from a white, unmarked van with a forged receipt so long as they are waterproof. Let me know what you got.

    3D Printing

    I have a Crealty Ender 5 with a few modifications (bed support, new quiet control board, glass bed). For the price, I'm a big fan. Now that I've got it dialed in, it prints quite well - everything from random enclosures, to parts for an espresso machine, to Nintendo Switch controller holders, to those little wrenches you use to remove bike tires, etc... That being said, no consumer 3d printer is going to be foolproof. There is a lot of trial and error whether that's playing around with bed temp, extruder temp, filament type, the actual design, fill rate, support structures, etc.... I've made a bunch of things with mine that I'm quite happy with. Probably the biggest achievement was using my 3d printer to build the parts that go into my Lowrider CNC machine. It's a fun hobby. But you have to treat it as a hobby, not as a tool or office equipment. You will have prints that epically fail and you just have to edit and try again. If that doesn't sound fun, then save yourself the $300-$500 or whatever it is they go for these days. But when it all works as planned, it's pretty fucking cool.
  4. Anyone in the market for a driver shaft? I have an Accra FX 250 M4 tipped with a TM shaft adapter that I'm ready to sell. This shaft is for people looking for as much stability as you can muster in a very light weight stiff shaft (58G). Light weight shafts are inherently unstable at higher swing speeds, but this one does as much as you can. Great for people with a smooth transition at the top of the swing with less loading on the shaft at the top. My swing used to have a very smooth, fluid transition at the top and this shaft was a game changer even with a 98-102 mph swing speed. Best money I had ever spent on my clubs. Now my swing is a considerably more stop and go at the top with a lot more load on the shaft. Just hard to control the whip action now so I had to move on to a Graphite Designs shaft. I paid ~$350 for this new a few years back, happy to see it go to a new home here for $75 (plus ship if you're not in Austin). Comes with a ~year old Best Grips black leather grip installed ($25 for the grip alone, IIRC).

    I think he's one stop away from his "big" move so wherever he goes next, make it one of the big 4 leagues. Play well there, then start looking at a top 4 club somewhere. As an example... Go to Leeds. Play well for 2 years. Let Leeds cash in on a sale to... A Spanish top 3. I feel like his game suits that league. Maybe Real Madrid or Barca will have recovered by then.
  6. A statue that lopsided is just going to fall on it's own.
  7. You've blamed Trent Williams three times (at least) for this vs blaming the mega error prone Jimmy G for not being patient and giving his in motion LT tackle enough time to get set. Even Shanahan put that one on Jimmy.

    1-1 at half Pepi with FOUR great chances. 1. Shoots it wide after a great thru ball, would have been offside anyways 2. Picks up a loose volley in the box and fires it square into the defenders outstretched leg 3. Puts it into the back of the net but Augsburg called for the foul on the pass to Pepi. 4. Picks up another loose ball in the box, fairly easy stop. He's been very involved in the build up and hold up play as well. Looks very comfortable. Him plus Vargas on the right side is the best thing they consistently have going. Good stuff thus far. Getting on the scoresheet just feels like a matter of time, he's knocking on the door non stop.

    Pepi with the start today!

    What you don't see is the use of the stupify charm right before the cross.
  11. There are some short ass high school head coaches in the Austin area.
  12. Not after he's a 2x national title winner at Texas and the #1 draft pick in the NFL draft. You're buying a collector's item. It's an investment really.
  13. Tuchel loves his wing backs. Dest would thrive there better than most managers. On the other hand, Pulisic needs to get out post haste. Tuchel's system is not for wingers.

    I wouldn't pay much attention to the formation that Google claims teams are running. They've put up some weird ones in the past, a la the double dong 4-2-2-2 above or the time they put Adams at CB and Arriola at CM (about had a heart attack...). ESPN has been suspect at times too.

    Assuming they're close enough in form, Pepi is who I'd trot out when we're favored and being aggressive and Dike when we're an underdog and having to hunker down. Off the ball runs, finishing: Pepi > Dike Hold up play: Dike > Pepi And then Pefok off the bench to poach some goals. I also haven't given up on Sargent quite yet. Getting close though...
  16. I think you have to include Jones in there as getting equal minutes with Ramey, otherwise I agree that is likely our best 5. But I don't think we ever really settle into a consistent lineup because our big man depth is so thin and sooner or later, we're gonna get COVID'd, probably multiple times. Disu, Mitchell, and Bishop will probably have to be close to equal minutes most nights, just to make sure they don't get gassed or in foul trouble. Add on top of that COVID is likely going to make us shuffle our lineup quite a bit. I think it would benefit us the most to not settle into a top 5 and keep developing players and chemistry around multiple different looks. We're gonna need them.
  17. For those interested, PGA Tour Live is only on ESPN+ now but it's not an add on like it used to be with Amazon Prime or NBC Sports Gold. You just pay the normal rate for ESPN+ and PGA Tour Live is included. No brainer for me! Got to watch the Texas - KSU game last night as a nice bonus.
  18. Some rumblings that if Trippier returns to the EPL, Dest is Atletico's choice to replace him.

    The winger quip was tongue in cheek - Pulisic has been asked to play a variety of roles for Chelsea of late, none of which being a winger (his natural fit).

    Have you been watching Chelsea of late? Puli is really a wing back. Or a false 9. But definitely not a winger. Anything but a winger. I don't think that MF would get overrun by any team in the Octagonal... Mexico, Canada - sure. Panama, Costa Rica - maybe. But El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica? Come on, now.

    If Dike can get his form back and become a US version of Lukaku - a big bully that can hold the ball up - with Pepi playing off him, that would be electric. Dike - Pepi Puli - Adams - McKennie - Reyna LB - CB - CB - Dest That's probably too many offensive minded players but against the dregs of CONCACAF, that's what you need. Scale it back against Mexico and Canada but otherwise, go balls out.
  22. I'm mostly worried Tapp's wingspan is going to shrink once he bulks up a bit.

    I too wonder if it would be better for Pepi to be in fighting for promotion situation in 2. Bundesliga (like Dike in England) vs what Sargent is enduring at Norwich. Side note, there are some big names fighting for their lives in the Bundesliga - both Wolfsburg and BM recently were playing European level futbol.
