    Yeah mine was 3200 for about 10 hours a day when I moved in and it was pretty damn loud. Dialed it back to 2400 and it was much better, but didn't seem to be skimming enough. I think I'll do a combo of high/med/low and see how that goes.

    Thanks, I'll tweak the settings. I actually didn't have it running at all overnight. Is it better to have it going 24/7 I guess? Still learning all this stuff.

    My parents hid all the gifts in their bedroom and my little brother found the SNES like a month beforehand. We were bragging to all the kids on the bus about how we were getting one for Christmas. Did the whole pretend to be surprised bit on Christmas morning and everything. In hindsight it would have been better had we not known.

    I always point out to my wife when that one part I saved from ten years ago actually comes in handy. Fuck yeah I was right!

    Never had a Sega, but two neighbors did so I didn't need one. Sega Channel was pretty badass for its day.

    We bought the house in December so it was already here. I messed with the settings and dialed back the rpms so it's not as bad, but I need to actually do the math to figure out what speed I should be running it at to turn the pool over. Never enough time to do anything though.

    Fuck I miss the SNES. I bought the NES Classic instead and regret it now that I can't find a SNES Classic for less than $200. MarioKart and Donkey Kong Country are two of my favorite games of all time.

    Any of us would join the SEC if we had an invite. It's not even in question. We don't have an invite though and won't be getting one so here we are trying to figure out how to survive with what's left.

    The only reference points I have are my Dad's and in-laws which are both significantly quieter, but I think they're both Pentair. Supposedly mine is one of the older variable speed models, but I haven't taken the time to research it yet. I do know they wanted to charge me about double what I could buy one on my own though just for parts so fuck them.

    So how loud is 'normal' for a Hayward variable speed pump? Mine seems pretty loud. Pool guys said it normally means it's about to go out, but they're also idiots so thought I'd ask. Also seems like it would be pretty easy to replace myself as long as I get another Hayward VS model. Any downside to that?

    Most people aren't curious about...anything. They just kind of float through life. I'm a mental note taker. Horrible at taking actual notes. I always assumed the switching in and out of products is based on both availability and also consumer demand. It's probably much more complicated than that though. Supplier incentives likely come into play also. It still pisses me off I can't find Heinz brown mustard at HEB.

    Lol nobody gives a shit about UCLA sports. Come on now. They were a package deal to get USC.

    I'm all for it. Top 16 programs fuck off and the rest of us can go back to something more interesting. Do it.

    Post the Doc!

    Can you at least admit how much bullshit it is that this is the case? Preseason polls shouldn't even exist let alone be based off of program prestige. It's a hilariously stupid system and it's amazing how many people love it.

    I don't think there's any doubt the SEC is superior to B1G.

    Is there a real chance Colorado ends up back with us? What a weird ride they went on if so.

    Well the vaccine made me feel like shit. I'd be down for once a year probably.

    Serious question from someone who is not anti-vaxx. At what point do you stop getting them? I just don't see the point anymore unless you're in an at risk group.

    When do Nebraska and Tennessee lose their Blueblood status? Never?

    We got into it a bit. Things got a little heated. I gave a short lesson on how oil and gas trades on a global market and that inflation is more complicated than blaming a single administration. Also pointed out what I read on here about Republicans working to override the electoral process which he seemed genuinely pissed about. It won't change his mind, but it's something. All you can do is try.

    Kentucky, Mizzou, South Carolina are powerhouse programs.

    For different reasons no doubt.

    Not sure this really belongs here, but visiting my brother and the first thing I ask is 'hey, why is your flag upside down?'. Insert 'And here. we. go.' gif.

    Biden asking station owners to take one for the team. Problem solved! What a dumbfuck. And I voted for said dumbfuck because he was less of a dumbfuck than the other dumbfuck. Awesome.
