Sorry to hear this and sorry for your loss. 😔

I think it's better than being short 1-3 players if a group of people don't like the map. That's what auto balancing should be like for muti-player. However, we play freeze tag, so it's pulling active (unfrozen) players. The main issue I seen with it is that is also does it during overtime. Butttt, I would still rather that than short players the entire round, pushing hard as hell just to keep my team defrosted with no time to enjoy playing. Don't get me wrong.. When it's a good match up and even teams.. The defrost struggle is fun, but not when you have half a team. 

In Northern California, looking for a new OEM intake manifold.
 
2010 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 5.4L
All of the parts dealers including the dealership have it on back order. Any help appreciated.

Wish we could. The entire house is textured, including the ceiling. Which makes it annoying every time we’ve repainted. On the other hand, this is the last time we have to paint this house. We’ll officially be moving to Ohio at the beginning of next month. 

Black... I know, sounds crazy but looks GREAT 
 
Currently, you have white spindles... paint them black (or gunshot metal grey) and they will look like metal spindles.  Could leave the banister part as is, see how that looks with the lighter wood color up and the black spindles.  If necessary, paint the banister part same black color.  example -->  https://www.theinspiredhive.com/2020/10/11-black-painted-staircase-ideas.html   

Looking for suggestions for stairs hard wood color scheme. 
 
What I currently have below.
 
 

I've unlocked it now, Thanks for the heads up 

Okay, so I have an issue. My 6-year-old who was supposed to be in bed. put the stopper in the sink and was playing in water. For whatever reason left the water on and flooded the bathroom, part of the hallway and part of his room. I was flooded enough to start leaking in the garage below his room. Roughly about half a gallon to a gallon was on the basement floor. 
Once we noticed the issue we immediately turned off and vacuumed up the water and everything we found that was wet. 
Now my question is, do I need to cut open the ceiling and walls and have them professionally dried out? - Can I leave it and let it dry? - Can I cut open the celling and let it dry out then redo the drywall? 

Okay, so I let it sit over night sense I couldn’t see. So the water in the garage ceiling was leaking for about 5-10 minutes after turning the water off. It was leaking from the joints of the drywall and from the light fixture. 
 
I’ve started ripping it out. Some of the drywall is damp, some not. There is insulation in the ceiling. 
 
if I just cut it all out, generally how long does it take to dry. I live in Sacramento. Normally it’s pretty dry here. But we’ve had some overcast. So the humidity is at 67% today.
Also, will the walls upstairs need to be removed? There is slight water damage to the bottom of the baseboards.

Yeah, we’re thinking about east Ohio. We’ve been looking to get out of California for a while now and recently had a few opportunities open up out there for us. Just trying to decide if it’s the right thing to do for the family.

Two things - 1 rename your iwmp3.exe to old = oldiwmp3.exe then download this one and put it in that folder...Path should be like this to find it                  ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4 ) then test by launching game...If still a problem check headset by moving plug/plugs front to back etc...Also check and see if your sound drivers has had a recent update and bi-passed your realtek audio..The game has always had a bug with sound drivers and such...Also always back up your "Players" folder found here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4\players make a copy and save to a drive outside of your game files...Good luck and please report back
