  • Keep politics out. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down the rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.

  • Keep the NSFW to a minimum. We don’t need anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
  • All in all, be adults. Treat each other with respect and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something feel free to ask. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here.

The third day of the Presidents Cup is on today from Canada. The first day, the Americans won all five matches, but they were all close. Up 5-0, they went into the matches yesterday with a lot of confidence. They got shellacked by the Internationals, who not only won all five matches, they won three of them easily and by wide margins.

Now the Americans have to come out and prove themselves. The Internationals are sky high, and momentum is fully on their side. The matches were scheduled to start this morning around 7:20 a.m. but fog rolled in, and they are still waiting to get the matches underway.

It started with the owners not willing to increase payroll.
Then injuries, but there is always injuries but we had insufficient depth.
The players seem to have battled hard most of the year but either gave up the last few weeks or their will was broken by the effort.
Manager make plenty of mistakes, easy to blame him, but is that hindsight?

Not sure if I expect any better next year.

I have a friend who lives in St Pete. He went to Tallahassee to work in the State of Florida Operations Center as their Federal Coordination Officer. He said he lost power in his house in St Pete, and he said traffic cams were showing cars floating around the streets in his neighborhood. Funny thing was the living quarters in the Operations Center lost power, so no hot water for showers etc. He said they got hit pretty hard by the hurricane at the Op’s Center.

Anyone have a recommendation for sprinkler blowouts near Rogers/St. Michael/Dayton? I have called a few companies and most seem like they offer one single day or time and if you don’t take it, they don’t seem to care about losing your business (like the company I’ve used for 6+ years now). They are also charging ridiculous amounts like $100 now (used to be $40-50 when I first started). There is no appreciably higher real cost for the service IMO – they just charge more now because they can. Really annoying.

I am just learning about this process.
Didn’t have a separate ‘irrigation water system’ in SoCal.
Since we hired a gardener while we were absentee landlords to keep the HOA happy he will handle it this year.
Neighbors have mentioned that they ‘know a guy’ that will do it on the cheap. We will go with the gardener this year as we trust him and his prices are on the lower end of ‘normal’ around here.

Yeah, I’ve seen those too, just always seemed a little sketchy. Not that hard of a job, though. You literally hook up a commercial compressor and then just cycle the zones. Takes about 15 minutes. Not worth anywhere near $100. Gas is not THAT expensive anymore.

You don’t need a commercial pull behind compressor for sprinkler blow outs. I got sick of paying so much so I found an air compressor at a local place with a high flow rate for under $200. I’ve not had any issues blowing mine out, just takes me an afternoon instead of a half hour. I’ve now saved over $500 and I have an air compressor for other uses.

Where exactly did you find this? Anything that low of price is way too little CFM for a blow out. Supposed to be like 20 CFM. Most little ones are like 2.

Reply to  JRo_42
27 September 2024 3:40 pm

Mine is 5 cfm at 90 psi with a 20 gallon tank. I can’t do a continuous blowout. It can blow one section for about a minute and a half then I have to wait for it to pressure back up again. I make a couple rounds through the whole system and it’s good to go. Only replaced one sprinkler in 6 years and I’m pretty sure someone drove over that one.

I am thinking/hoping that since it is predicated on pressure on the QB that offenses will have to find a way to slow that down first.

Think one of the ways to beat a defense like this is to run the ball. But, this takes a strong running game, and really important, a seasoned QB that can make adjustments at the LOC.
Not sure Packers have this, but Jets with Rogers may be a test.

Man, we’ve been watching the Menendez brothers drama on NF, episode 5 last night Cooper Koch as Erik is the only face you see in one long unbroken 36 minute cut with the camera slowly moving in on his face throughout the episode as he speaks to his lawyer about the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. Talk about an unflinching look at child sexual abuse and an absolutely amazing job of staying in character without missing a line for 36 minutes straight. I was riveted. Holy hell. He deserves much praise.

I don’t have the under 10 set in my household so we are free to watch whatever catches our fancy. No animated wholesome Disney films for us. NF has a great predictive algorithm for viewers, that’s part of how they rose to dominance in the streaming field.

You can’t watch it cold now (like I did – I knew nothing about the series or this episode), but I dare you to watch that scene raw and not be affected by it. The actor better win an Emmy for that performance. Easily the most profound 35 minutes of television I’ve watched in the last five years.

I don’t know much about their current state of affairs but I would be shocked if they aren’t paroled after this.

As a composition, sure. But it is riddled with auto-tune. Takes me right out of it. If you can’t sing it, either miss the notes and give it some character or don’t sing it!

Guess I don’t know enough about it to catch the auto tune (especially in the live on Conan performance). I’ve watched a couple of “reaction” videos with voice coaches, none of them mentioned auto tuning, but I’m not saying they didn’t use it.

27 September 2024 1:09 pm

The coaches do not make them studio experts. I have worked with auto-tune before and there are distinctive textures/swoops you hear when it’s pushing a voice to the correct note. It’s there on the Conan performance as well. I just can’t, and I don’t dislike Disturbed this is not a knock on them. I just wish he’d miss the notes. It’s not like he’s so far off it’s T-Pain, but he’s far enough off it’s pretty obvious if you know what to listen for. SO many people think of auto-tune as just like the T-Pain shit. That’s auto tuned cranked to 11. It’s usually used in more subtle ways. That song specifically is a song that should not have auto-tune on it imo. Such a beautiful hollow song for that shit.

pirateflip
Reply to  Edgecrusher71
27 September 2024 1:18 pm

This is probably the only song I’ve listened to by them, so not defending them. All songs shouldn’t have auto tune if you ask me (unless for obvious effect, like Cher) but then I’m old. Same for picture enhancements, everything doesn’t have to be perfect.

Edgecrusher71
Reply to  pirateflip
27 September 2024 1:35 pm

Yeah, I am cool with Auto Tune for texture. Like T-Pain. It’s not covering up for anything. Having done a fair amount of recording and been to studios and such… it ruins some things about the deceptions in the music industry. That can be good or bad, depending how you see it. Like the Disturbed song. In concept and arrangement etc… it’s a cool song. But those parts Draiman can’t those notes and you hear that auto-tune push it for him… just ruins it for me.

One Christmas Eve one year we had one puking in the toilet and one in the bathtub at the same time, followed by a couple more getting sick a little later.

As grandparents my wife and I have had our share of puking grandkids when they were young. Doesn’t bother us one bit, whereas their parents can’t clean it up without vomiting themselves. I guess owning dogs has its advantages, goodness knows they puke often enough.

No big deal quickly remove diaper and put new one on, I don’t need the changing mat. Wrong, he started crapping and all I could do to prevent it from getting on their new carpet was catch it in my hand.

Apparently he had been waiting a couple of days for this to happen. I think he crapped out more poop than his stomach could possibly hold.

Our granddaughter only puked once while she was here, or at least that was what I was told. I never saw it or heard it, so I’m good.

What’s real fun is when you have a kid sitting on the toilet having diarrhea and also puking into the garbage can at the same time. At least the last time that happened, the kid was old enough to take care of it herself. Good thing, because I was sick too. We all got something at our Christmas get together.
