  1. Shit start for Stuttgart. Concede a corner on a shit pass and PSG scores right way. With no Nübel today, they need to be perfect, not sloppy.
  2. What does "current" mean to you?
  3. Technically every state is in the Bottom 50 in the Union.
  4. I have purchased 4 Toyotas in the past 15 years or so - 3 4Runners and 1 Taco. Current 4Runner is the 1st w/ under 120K at purchase (105K). 2 of the 3 previous had 225K at time of sale and the 3rd was on it's way before an accident. None were ever in the shop for engine issues. The Taco had an issue w/ suspension and a leaking something or other on one wheel. Other than that, bulletproof.
  5. Of course that shit doesn't work....
  6. Youdaman, @smuggs! Thanks! If anyone has suggestions on how to not fuck that process up, I'm all ears. Been breaking damn near everything I touch lately.
  7. Think you're talking about intermittent fasting, no?
  8. Looking for a little experienced help here, as I'm not doing great using Google, youtube or ChatGPT. Can seem to find every other Gen, lower HVAC, etc, but not that upper A/C vent area for the right year/Gen. I have managed to break the passenger/right side air vent in the center console to the point it needs to be replaced. I need help understanding how to take the upper dash/console assembly apart so that I can replace the part in total - there is no fixing the busted fins. 2016 4Runner SR5 The part: 55680-35022 https://parts.longotoyota.com/oem-parts/toyota-vent-grille-5568035022
  9. He's the Kevin Bacon of Polynesian recruits. He's not blatantly Texas online, as he's more for any of his people playing anywhere they have an opportunity, but he's definitely pro-Texas in that he will quote tweet Texas stuff more than others, for sure.
  10. Y'all help me out here...what am I missing w/ your $200 pepper mills or antique coffee grinders that I'm not getting w/ my $1.99 McCormick throw away?
  11. Not a battle I'm willing to fight. I'd rather just vent to you assholes about it.
  12. This isn't really specific to the most recent election, as this guy has been going through it for years. It really breaks my heart, honestly. Wrestled w/ him in high school. Good dude, but dumb as a rock. Never expected him to go to college and be a doctor or anything like that - figured he would end up working Parks and Rec somewhere within 50 miles of HS. Went into the Navy for a couple of years, got out and went into the Army after a couple of years as a civilian. Involved in a training accident that eventually cost him both his legs, above the knee. He's been in VA hell for the last 15+ years w/ them giving him the runaround, and him not having the mental capacity to understand what's happening or the ability to navigate the system. I know enough about his situation to follow from a distance, but not the details, so don't come at me w/ some gotcha shit about how he could have helped himself - I'm not him. He has moved from NH to SC to GA trying to be near the right VA hospital. He settled in Frisco and is now married to a full-on MAGAT w/ a disabled kid that needs 24/7 care. I have suspicions that she is with him as a way to access his gov money, but it's not like dude is getting a mint, so maybe that's just my biases. Shortly after their marriage, I unfollowed him on FB because of her posting and tagging him in all her propaganda BS. This is from last week - N is her son, who is developmentally disabled and in a wheelchair. Like, wtf? Last night, I got a DM from him letting me know he's coming to Austin next week and wants to meet up. I want to see him just to be a human and a friend from HS and show him love, but there's no fucking way I could be in the same room w/ that woman. Don't get me wrong, he's dead red himself, but he doesn't (or at least didn't) live in that MAGA blinded world. But I have a ton of Trumpy friends and can work around their bullshit for a couple of hours socially, so long as we focus on sports or reliving the past or whatever. I respond that it's going to be tough for me to meet up, but hopefully we can make it happen, and ask why he's coming to Austin. His response: So, the best states are True Blue? No way! Kinda feel like him and his wheelchair are being used for props. Guy is going to leave thinking he's done his part to help, and he will have, but it will be for naught. His efforts won't help, and the situation won't change.
  13. You'll be fine w/ any mid priced set. My suggestion is to start doing some online window shopping and find a couple of brands/models you think you'd like, and then just wait for the spring sales. I haven't bought anything for the mountain between July and March in 20+ years. Crazy how the prices drop come April/May.
  14. Sophomore year, our ski club trip had our spring break trip to Portes du Soleil - a ski area that borders France and Switzerland. There is one lift that you get on in Switzerland and at the top, you are on the border - you go down one side into France, one side into Switzerland. The run on the Switzerland side is called "The Wall." The Wall is a very steep run of moguls and it's wide open, with plenty of room. It makes for the best wipeout watching I've ever seen. Many people choose to take the lift down, and many more should have.
  15. Puli now 10/10 on PK for club and country.
  16. Vince Carter played for the New Jersey Nets from 2004/05 to 2008/09. During those 5 seasons, the Nets finished over .500 twice, and went 2-3 in the playoffs. Carter made the All Star game twice.
  17. I35 and Oklahoma: 2 of the worst things ever, so this really isn't much of a surprise. https://www.facebook.com/reel/959002285732015
