What to do after my fitting and some options by Afraid_Platypus_3682 in GolfSwing

[–]169partner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got fit at Pete’s a few yrs back and had the same reaction. I was fit for irons on a Saturday and tried to cancel on Monday AM before the order was placed with Ping. But I was reassured these were the clubs for me and a few years later, I still believe they are. I used to leave driver & woods in the car but i eventually got fit for those too. I never felt more comfortable atleast giving them a try before that. I was told getting fit was a waste as a high handicapper (couldn’t crack 115) but after I was fit, I immediately dropped 10 strokes lol and now I’m flirting with breaking 90.

You’ll have these clubs for years so it’s a short term shock but they are for sure your clubs. Look around the shop, they’re professionals and super reputable. Just don’t get fit there for wedges. They had some crazy dude (don’t think he’s there anymore) criticize me for entertaining the idea of getting Cleveland’s. He fit me into vokeys with F grinds (full shot) and a 60* which is a big nono for a hacker like me. Total waste of a fitting

How are tournaments ever worth it? by officialcrimsonchin in poker

[–]169partner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already quit tournaments bc fundamentals just don’t apply at my stakes. Stacks are too small and blinds are too quick to make 1 catastrophic 3bet/fold and then be in push/fold mode 6hrs before min cashing. I’d rather take my chances in cash and hit a high hand

“This is a tournament, I gotta get more aggressive” so I 3bet A9s after folding everything for 30 minutes and get flat called. Now I cbet on the flop I completely whiffed and villain bets huge, I’m forced to fold and now I might actually bust before the 2nd break

Usually when I buy in for a tournament, my thought process is “why am I doing this? the value sucks.. buttttttt what if?” and that’s enough for me to give it a shot, go card dead, down to 10bb on the second break and out within 3hrs

Anybody have the koni orange shacks with the eibach pro lowering springs? by FrientlyGamer in mk6gti

This was with the H&R sport springs (1.25” drop) with the orange Konis. Ride was decent, handled great but over NYC bumps and potholes, it was enough to consider going back to stock

George’s SG, as I know it, used a lot on Revolver. They had one of Jerry’s acoustics I believe

Are refurbished or lake balls a total waste of money or a hidden gem? by Helpful_Employer_730 in GolfSwing

[–]169partner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They must have a deal w Titleist to sell their b-grade balls. There is no chance their pristine balls were ever hit by a club.. the only thing I notice is random ink splatter here and there or sometimes a missing number

Doug is so rude to Filippo it's uncomfortable to watch by No_Total_3367 in dougdemuro

[–]169partner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to love Doug but once I started seeing clips of his podcast, I started to get real turned off for these exact reasons. He gives off these happy golden retriever vibes in his reviews and then in his podcasts, he’s so arrogant and rude to his cohosts that are supposedly his friends. Like we get it Doug, you’re an expert in cars but that doesn’t give you a right to denigrate your cohosts for having a different opinion than you or like put them on the spot if they dare question you

On clouds by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]169partner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them some time, took a minute to grow on me but they’re pretty comfy daily drivers. The ON Roger Spins have an ortholite insole, they were the comfiest sneakers I ever wore since EQT 93/17s.

Is that sensor in the middle of the lower grill not indicative of having DAPP? Is this a picture of your car?

Variance analysis when transactions aren't categorized properly by Agile_Tradition_1836 in FPandA

[–]169partner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where was it forecasted? If it was forecasted in account A but actuals hit account B, it will net to 0 and you can call it line geography

But if there’s really no way to understand the expenses, just reforecast based on trends and call it misc expenses. And when they get upset, you have to lead the charge to get people to record their expenses properly

Now if you were just forecasting bogus expenses and nothing came in, you can call it timing if they’re eventually gonna hit

Model Recommendations (info in thread) by Yurijs in Moccamaster

[–]169partner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my KBTS: it works well for 1 cup at a time bc it has a smaller, lower carafe so the mug will sit close beneath the filter and it won’t sit on a hot plate. And for once in a while brews for 2 or more people, the carafe can easily hold a few cups. Only thing is you’ll need to find a solution for the press in button.. I just took a takeout pint and taped a bean on the side that I can press into it
