That definitely sounds like a cherry picked stat.

That was the topic of the latest Jacked Ramsay’s. Mike Richman touched on some of those points on today’s Locked as well, IIRC…

One of the conversations with JG that Danny keeps mentioning, is how bad being part of the “process” Sixers was. If you played too well they would bench you. :) It’s the idea that if the goal is to lose by 40 every night, so the franchise can someday draft someone else - No player of any years/age would want to be a part of that. :)

As far as who might be moved by the TD, and who might be moved at the end of the season/draft, who may or may not be back in FA - That’s every team, every season. :) Most franchises don’t have 1-15 for decade. A core of 3-4 guys can be a generational dynasty, but any group of like a 8-9 playoff rotation folks might only get one year together… If that. :)

Like, whoever leads X counting stat gets an “award”, named after someone, 80-90% of the people actually watching the games weren’t alive yet to see actually play?

Yeah. Why not? :)

That is a generally insightful response the league’s tone deaf PR. :) If that’s what the NBA is going to do, then don’t half-ass it, and do it right. :)

The tooling, machinery, personnel in the manufacturing plants, etc., etc., doesn’t just change overnight, with any mergers/acquisitions of the holding/parent company. :)

If/when/then - You don’t just throw away all that top level brand value you paid to acquire. :)

That was my first thought. Didn’t he mention something during the last presidential cycle about it? Like, not now, or timing didn’t work out (with ballot qualifications I assume), or something like that?

Stop lying.

He talked about that on Jacked Ramsays (I think?) a while back…

Basically, he was already dating (maybe even engaged to?) his current wife, and it was all a front to raise awareness for his organization. Some 4D chess / wholesome trolling for a good cause. :)

Those two are made by the same company. Who is also the oem Ford manufacturer.

Toumani seems to have that starting SF spot. He just has a little more size than Tisse, and if his offense is even worse, you kind of need to hide him with the starters, because the team’s offense is so limited.

Now that Scoot has/is coming off the bench, and coach has been trying to get Shae more involved in ball handling/initiating, Ant and Shae may be the starting back court. At least to get 20 or some games out of that unit, to see what you have.

I get what DET is trying to do, in that - They are a big team across the board, and you can’t teach size. Drafting the BPA regardless of “fit” is also a valid philosophy.

Now that they have a new coach, and Monty is seeing what’s “there”, once “trade season” starts mid Dec-Jan, we’ll see if DET looks to move some pieces around to make things fit a little better, and identify the “core” moving forward.

Definitely… Once stuff reaches a certain age / conditions that any rubber/plastic stuff starts breaking down, it’s entirely possible that the metal stuff like piston rings may be “past tolerance” as well.

Do what you have to do to keep it going, but also try and make sure that there’s not something “simple”, that is causing oil to enter the system where it shouldn’t be.

That’s good!

Oil “consumption” / burn, is a separate issue than an external oil seep/leak. In that, it’s internal systems vs. external seals…

If more oil is “evacuating” the system than the volume an external leak/seep could justify, the oil is being “consumed” / “burning” internally.

It “can’t” go anywhere else… :)

If your emission systems are functioning “correctly”, that should “burn” off those emissions by the CAT. But, the more you make any component in the system work, the more likely that specific component is to fail.

So - At the air filter, is it oily on the incoming side? If there is evidence of a bad PCV, replace that wearable component, and retest.

The aftermarket parts that pop up have the petcock in the place the video u/conspiracy_troll cited. Bottom passenger side of the radiator.

However… Like u/RickMN said - If there’s a high likelihood of that petcock breaking, removing the lower hose is a safer/less likely to break stuff way of going about it.

Why are you “flushing the radiator”? Is this preventive maintenance, or is there an issue you are trying to identify/resolve, relating to the coolant system?

You don’t know yet… You have to go a bit further to find out how extensive the damage is.

Where are you at with it / what have you done/checked/tested to this point?

Year/make/model/engine?

Call it “five” years now, and that’s only like 9K/year. So, on the regular alignment check schedule, it would be a full year, before you would get another check.

If you get an LOF/alignment at six months, twice this year, you would have three data points/inspections for the current age of the vehicle.

If because of age, not miles, the “rubbers” are starting to wear out, that information helps inform the decision of if you might be looking to move on to another vehicle, sooner or later. Like 2% at most of the miles have the trailer on it. Sure, additional weight/stress will exacerbate wear. But, at about five years is when you have to start doing some preventative “repair/replacement”, just for maintenance, to keep the vehicle operating at it’s best.

Have you replaced the battery yet? Are they still the OEM tires? Average miles for a five year old vehicle would be about 65-70K, so what is the recommended maintenance for that “mileage”, given the age? Do you live in a slat corrosion/rust environment?

If POR wants to keep Mookie Dew, and he would be down to stay for a season, and if everyone is healthy - Where does Tisse fit, if Too Money and Shae are getting minutes at the 3?

If/when/as soon as, there’s a minutes crunch with Tisse, because of 2$'s play at his size, then you might have to move him sooner than later, for the best return/situation possible.

So, remote as the only electrical signal, and manual/safety release.

Mechanically / manual release - Get some grease on the striker/bar, and slowly close the trunk. When you open it again, look to see where that grease went into the latch / lock lever. You are also looking for any wear that might suggest a misalignment. If, it could be that the latch isn’t fully locking sometimes, and a gust of wind comes up, the trunk could potentially blow open?

Electronically / fob: As long as the passenger compartment lever is an actual manual cable lever, and not an electrical switch, then you should be able to disconnect the harness to the lock/actuator, and eliminate any electrical signal from the equation. The remote is going to activate a module, and the module itself is going to send the signal to unlock the door/doors/trunk. Eliminate a false signal from the vehicle or remote, and if it happens again, something mechanical is going on. That might keep the trunk warning on, but you can at least try and make sure that the trunk is staying closed, and/or confirm/deny a mechanical issue.

More like Poland 1939. All the former Blazers as the Red Army just sitting there, waiting to come right in the back door as soon as Ze Germans wear you down. :)

Don’t go to a parts store for diagnosis.

If it’s still the original battery it’s time to replace it regardless. Any corrosion/bad connections will also need to be sorted.

Do you have a battery / electrical shop in your area?
