    Or keep a spare $20 capacitor for when you need it.  I say this, but I don’t have one. I should take my own advice. 

    I need to, but I have several AC units I maintain, and would need to keep different sizes stocked...

  2. 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.

  3. Since Herbie is talking about it, it might be true.  But I do have to admit, his take on refs is shit.  My view on refs is they should be in the background and not part of the game.  When they interject themselves every chance they get and make blown calls left and right, they absolutely need to be questioned on it, especially when there's clear bias (see OSU games in 2015 and 2022).

    Yall better never disrespect YellowHammer again!

    Why?!  I have still yet to see a single article that doesn't rely on them as their source of the news.  FoxNews, ESPN, Yahoo, the Atlantic, all of them user YH as their source.

    May not mean much, but there’s this:

    IMG_3532.thumb.jpeg.3e258f4017c9278b15b5c85c364c4742.jpeg

    It's a local rag for some Alabama town that's pissy about the Auburn loss to Georgia.  All other outlets are linking YH as the source of the story, and they have no cited source, nor has the SEC or NCAA or any other outlet reported this.  I would permanently suspend my subscription to that paper pretty quickly.

  6. YellowHammer breaks the news, and all these other outlets are quoting YH as the source.  This really stinks of Derrico Henrio trolling ESPN a few years back on X.  I'd love for it to be true where they're actually cleaning house of corrupt / inept refs, but we've got better odds of ending the drought in central Texas before that happens.

  7. Can we get it from ANY reputable source?  I've seen it posted from YellowHammer, and no clue who the hell they are.  IF it was legit, you'd figure the SEC would release a statement, or at least BR or Barstool would release SOMETHING...

    The second offense is a $100k penalty. The third offense the Head Coach is suspended for a game.

    Second offense in a game, or second offense, PERIOD?

    AC unit filters should be standardized.  We have 3 units all the same manufacturer installed by the same HVAC company but the filters are not standardized.

    image.gif.450fdfdf48b171aabbf157309d4945a3.gif

    With the filters at the intake grills and not right next to the furnace assembly, it is what it is.  3 of the four intakes in our house are one size, and the fourth is a separate size.  Makes it a bitch to buy in bulk considering my wife is absolutely against having anything on hand for future use.

    (no, we don't have 4 AC units, just multiple intakes scattered around the house)

    With the exception of like 2 years with Manziel aggy and Kentucky have traded last place in the SEC ratings.  This is why it is bullshit they get a full share of the TV revenue as that has trended even worse since we joined and take school agnostic texas-based eyeballs.  This is getting to be a bigger and bigger issue and probably leads to changes when the next TV deal is being negotiated.  At least KY brings other sport viewers, aggy sucks at all sports and has zero national appeal (or even awareness).  

    They draw eyeballs even in the worst of years.  Aggy is faithful if nothing else.  They could be 0-10 and still drawing 2,000,000 viewers.

    For years, the guys on TexAgs said that the SEC had no need for Texas because they had already delivered them the state of Texas' eyeballs.

    When the SEC invited us to join, the same Aggies were saying we shouldn't get the same share as everyone else because we brought no real money value.

    Their despair over being bumped by a shitty, barely-ranked Texas team shows that they still haven't learned. Hell, they think their wins over Florida and MSU rocked the nation.

    It's why it can be fun to read that site in short bursts.

    You add aggy because you want the eyeballs of the state of Texas.  You add Texas because you want the eyeballs of the most valuable brand in college football.  There's a difference...

    again, Kentucky sideline.  would you want Stoops red face, with dickmunching breath, in your face by calling him down inbounds?

    He was down OOB.  This was his first contact with anything other than his feet.  Landed with his hip over the line and his elbow OOB.  I thought the same thing Saturday night, and the fact they didn't replay any questionable calls on TV was maddening.

    The next play was a bit more egregious.  The offsides call looked like Moore got a good jump on the ball, basically right as the center started moving the ball.  The real call should have been false start, right tackle.
