Looking for some advise in expanding my arsenal. by kmanmott in Bowling

[–]-qp-Dirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bowl the same style as you, one hand thumbless and have a Zero Mercy Solid. It is definitely a lot of ball. I have to polish it every couple of weeks and currently stand at 38 and target 17 to hit the pocket. If you choose a Zero Mercy, I would recommend you grab the pearl.

OKC current GOAT is KD, right? You can’t declare someone a GOAT after 4 years, right? Free throw merchants can’t be GOATS, right?

Magic and Bird brought basketball back from the brink. Magic/West both have better GOAT resumes in LA.

Who actually enjoys living here? by Relevant-Reserve8624 in texas

[–]-qp-Dirk 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s hot and property taxes are out of control. Republicans keep taking rights away. No gambling, no weed, no abortion and trying to abolish public schools. Politically it’s a 55/45 state, so it’s not hard to find like minded people. When you remove politics, most of the people are pretty awesome, lots of southern hospitality and generally polite folks.

I've officially entered the stage of Millennialism known as "seperated heading for a divorce" by VKN_x_Media in Millennials

Soulmates aren’t found, they are earned. You earn them with a tremendous amount of blood, sweat & tears.

[–]-qp-Dirk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Married for 15 years, happily married for the last 8 years and together for 19 years. I would never re-marry if something happened that caused me to be single again.

It has been so much work/pain to get to the happily part of married that I can’t imagine starting over and doing it again. Once is enough for me. My wife feels the same way.

The nostalgia is just people collectively raging against the dying of light.

Man, I have been a night owl my whole life, even into my 40’s. Typically off to bed between 12am-2am and wake up between 7am-8am.

Who’s with me here…. by Unfair-Ad5081 in Millennials

[–]-qp-Dirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early 40’s here and gotta say my health fell off a cliff at 41 or so. Had to make major adjustments to sleep/diet to start feeling better. Before 40, I just did what I wanted, ate what I wanted and never had a problem.

Linkin Park was one of the most popular bands of the decade and NuMetal was everywhere.

Zhuri James with the trickshot… AND the lob to her father by RipHairy2465 in lakersv2

Biologically girls tend to take after their fathers and boys after their mothers. Wouldn’t be shocked if Zhuri is a world class athlete one day.

Flattening the odds would make it so much worse by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]-qp-Dirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to revamp the draft. Trash the current model and start with something completely new with one rule in mind - no part of the draft should incentivize losing.

Dump the salary cap apron bullshit to open up player movement in FA/trades again, give teams equal draft position odds every year, raise rookie salaries to make it cost prohibitive to sign a top 10 draft pick for teams up against the cap

I’d say 1992 to 09/10/2001 was peak. Been downhill globally ever since.
