Weird i didnt see any posts on TD about how shitty maduro was until the past few months when trump started planning this war rollout and started bombing them.


Have you tried going back to when Venezuela had their last “elections” and Maduro had the military stop the ballot counting about halfway through and declared himself the winner by an overwhelming majority? Or the following months when his opponent had to go into hiding while Maduro tried to hunt her down and she eventually fled the country?
Our offense is getting solid playoff experience :lol:

re: WiFi weather station recs

I’ve had an Ambient Weather WS-2000 for 5 years now and it’s been great. There’s quite a few compatible sensors you can buy to go along with it.

I’ve got extra temp/humidity sensors in my camper and chicken coop and a lightning sensor at the top of my kids playhouse.

I had bought a soil moisture a few years ago for my garden but it crapped out after a year and never replaced it.

The only thing I have to watch out for is every once in a while a spider will crawl under the rain gauge and spin a web under the cup that prevents it from dropping down and recording rainfall. But it’s easy enough to unscrew the bottom and knock it out.

Man, we just wrapped it up and you’re not kidding. Got me and the wife right in the feels.

Will definitely be in the Christmas rotation.
I’m about halfway through this with the kids and it’s pretty damn funny.

They wanted to watch it and I really didn’t want to but glad we did. It’ll probably get added to the annual Christmas watch list.

Why not just buy a soft cover for it?

He will fit right in with Sulphur then :lol:
The wife and I talked about it but ultimately decided to not get one. My thinking was multiple loads would take much longer since you can't have the next load washing while the first one is drying.

Because it’s more televised than ever, not because the product is better.

A newsy wrinkle from Bevacqua: As part of an MOU signed last spring, Notre Dame is assured of a CFP berth if it is ranked in the top 12 starting next year.

If this year’s situation unfolds next year, the final at-large team (Miami) would have gotten bumped for No. 11 Notre Dame.


In that case, all the committee would have to do is put them lower in the rankings.

I am all for banter between people who have actually served. My problem is with people who have never worn the uniform feeling entitled to put down on different branches. Not just Navy, all branches for whatever reason.

It is not the critic who counts but the man in the arena.


Honestly, your posts just make you sound overly sensitive and soft.

I don't really care if people say I was "Chair Force" because I got to do and see some stuff most people won't ever experience.

If someone who has never served went too far with their ribbing, I'd just make a comment about being them being too much of a puss to join.

How many crappy threads are you going to start?

The quote I got was around 9k for them installed


I did them myself for about $500 which covered the front of the house.

Wasn't very hard, just took some time. There's a thread on the Tech board about permanent lights.

Looks pretty official to me.
Since I can't find the jumbo C9 "covers" online, I'm thinking about just buying some regular lights off Amazon, use them until the lights crap out, then pull the covers off them and use 10mm pixels to customize them how I want.
I’ve gotten at least 4 “man we need to put those on our house” around the neighborhood ever since I installed my lights. I’ve had them up since last November and have only had to change out 1 light so far.

I want to find a way to make some jumbo c9 lights into WLED as well to go around the landscape. Also would like to do the same with lights in a small tree.

I don’t know why people want Orgeron back. This whole mess started because of him


It isn’t about people wanting or not wanting O. It’s about wanting your new HC to have the people he believes gives him the best chance of success.

If that is O, so be it.
I can’t wait for this coaching search to be over

A lot of people on here won’t get this but when Saban left LSU he recommended Nutt. He did that because Nutt was a goofball and Saban wanted Nutt here to make himself look better. Nutt would have failed here and King Saban wanted that


If only we would have followed that advice and hired Nutt. He would have tanked and the stars would have aligned for Saban to come back as he was done with his NFL experiment.
