24" on centre is a little strange...16"oc is standard.

I have a 'bean bag' chair that's gone flat. I put 'bean bag' in quotes, because the original chair was stuffed with large packing peanuts (not actual beans).

Where can I get new large packing peanuts, or real bean-bag-chair beans?

Try Shipper's Supply for the packing peanuts. I think they have a couple locations, but there is for sure one around 52 street and ~50 avenue SE.

The two wildcard teams have a one game playoff to see who advances to the division series against one of the division winners.

The remaining 4 teams are in the division series. The winner of each series advances to the League Championship Series. The winner of that series advances to the World Series against the other league's champion.
Are you sure about that? That would make 5 teams making the playoffs from each league. I thought there was only 1 wildcard per league.

They changed it for this season.

Now, the top 2 wildcard teams play a one game playoff to become the actual wildcard team. It's basically the same thing that used to happen if there was a tie between the top 2 wildcard teams, but now it will happen whether or not they're tied.

I have an automatic sprinkler system, and one of the sprinkler heads won't pop up - anyone know how to fix this, or know of a company that would do this?

This worked perfect. I'm an idiot and have spent way more time trying to fix this than I care to admit. Even a shaw webchat was useless. Thanks!

I have a Toyota with push-button start. Sometimes it doesn't start. I try it over and over (foot on the brake, push the starter) and eventually it goes. I have the e-key on me so that's not the problem. It happened this morning. Anyone know why?

Battery might be low in the remote. This would be the cheapest thing to try unless the car is still under warranty.

I recently changed the battery. Also, my wife and I were both in the car so there were two remote starters.

might be as simple as dirt or grass clogging up the pop-up head. If you have a Rainbird system, there is a little key-hole that you can slip a tiny screwdriver into to pull the head up and clean away any debris.

Alternatively, if the head is damaged, it can be replaced by digging down about 6 to 8 inches and unscrewing the head from the pipe, and screwing in a new head.

A final possibility that comes to mind is there is a leak or break in the water pipe leading to this head. You might see water pooling on the ground, or a soft spongy spot in your grass. If you do, this is a little more work, but still a pretty easy fix for a DIYer. Hopefully you have a map of where all the pipes are located. If the pipe location corresponds with the wet/spongy spot, dig down to the pipe. Then dig in both direction along the pipe until you find the leak or break, cut that section of pipe out and replace.

Unfortunately you'll probably need to take it to the dealership.

Why do you want to buy lab glassware? I hope you aren't actually planning on doing any chemistry at home.
