  1. I hope he doesn't have the 4 cyl engine. As far as i know, about 1/3 of them still blow a head gasket around 100k miles. I missed this post, but yeah. That happened in late May. We got it fixed along with a new clutch. Still cheaper than a replacement beater and now it's truly the devil-we-know. 156k miles and kaboom.
  2. I've done both and have settled on an hour rest with the paper open to vent. Then I pipe some rendered beef tallow on it like icing, wrap it tightly in HD foil, and put it in the preheated (a few cups of boiled water in a pyrex dish does well) cooler with a towel to fill the headspace until ready to serve.
  3. Well, if it happens next year, you can't appoint anyone during an election year. That's the rule, right Mitch? Mitch? Did you hear the question?
  4. It seems like the factual allegations should be considered in the context of a RICO case. But I don't know whether it's viewed through that lens for purposes of determining the transfer issue.
  5. I don't think the request for additional briefing, in an of itself, is a tell as to the ruling. Judge knows it will go up and wants to be sure, if the request is denied, that no stone was left unturned (and that all opportunities to make the case were given).
  6. You could watch the game Charlie coached against UCLA if you want a lesson in what not to do. Or pretty much just go watch any of the games Charlie coached.
  7. Mid-September, supposedly. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/25/health/covid-vaccine-release/index.html#:~:text=Covid-19 vaccines that have,be available in mid-September.
  8. Other than Freedom '90. I can't stand his voice. Nails on the chalkboard for me. Stewie likes him though.
  9. I seem to recall that my wife got in a fender-bender there years ago. The next week, she called to get a copy of the accident report and got an answering machine. The cop shop didn't seem well-staffed.
  10. Love the Judys. We listened to the shit out of Washorama when I was a kid. Fun fact I didn't know at that time, my half brother was the sound engineer on that album (and I think on Moo!, as well). It's one of those bands where the songs sound simple, but if any of us tried to play it, it'd sound like utter shit. They were really talented. And that record just lays it bare.
  11. The MP1 is the most musical phaser I've ever owned. I sold mine years ago because it tended to suck tone and was anything but pedalboard friendly. The 6 stage on this pedal sounds close at first blush. I've been looking for that 6-stage sound in a small package for a while. I've got a Mister-O. It's the closest I've heard so far, but it's digital and lacks something I can't put my finger on apart from that. It's based on the early Maestro Phaser, rather than the MP1, which Moog designed. But close is close.
  12. There may have been alcohol in anticipation of our playing USC for the first time since 2006 involved in my mishap. We got rid of the mandolin years ago. That thing wanted to kill my entire family.
  13. I've got the white one too. I'm glad I read the instructions though. On this one, you run the knife blade forward and back (not just pull toward you like on some sharpeners). About eight times and then another eight in the polishing slot and it had mine nice and sharp. I don't doubt there are better sharpeners out there, but for $35 or whatever I paid, this does the trick.
  14. Yeouch. I scalloped my thumb with my Dexter-Russel slicer once. Not my finest moment.
  15. You sound poor. And you have the boorish manners of a Yalie.
  16. Lot of hate in this thread for Kinkaid. And there are plenty of rich assholes there, I'm sure. But the idea that it's not a good school is just silly.
  17. Last time I went was more than a decade ago and my recollection was not that they were "really good."
  18. That's the kind of Floria Princpal we need. "Get the flock outta here!"
  19. 1. Probably 2. Shame she won't consider UT. She could meet DCBC, Jr. But I get it. And it's probably for the best for her in not meeting my lovely first born. 3. I have a friend whose son is a freshman at Cal Poly. Probably worth a look if she's looking at the UC schools.
  20. I joked that my wife had roped us into one of those block party hosting things and that's why they showed up so quickly. Every cop and fire fighter who showed up took turns loving on old Leo before they left. Maybe they thought the name was an acronym? Anyway, I was glad they did the good thing and not the bad thing for once.
