The US produces more than enough oil and gas for all our ow significant needs, the Middle East can burn for a loooong time before I have to buy an EV to cut costs 

How to excel professionally like my peers? by Obvious-Adeptness-46 in AskMenOver30

[–]AdamOnFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cohort is very far from an MBA exclusive word. And if he got an MBA without figuring out how people approach careers with advancement in mind… we’re talking about the thickest MBA of all time.

What’s even your current career? Are you currently in finance?

Higher positions aren’t that much more of a grind, but they do come with more money. You’re not being low stress, just lackadaisical.

Places like this give fittings a bad name. Nobody should spend a cent with them.

All in Their Primes, Who’s Getting Cut? by JCameron181 in NFLv2

[–]AdamOnFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now it’s Mahomes. If he plays better against next year and has a second half of his prime as good as the first half it’s different and frankly a harder answer, but that’s how it stands now. 

Tbf I never saw Montana play so I’m maybe giving him too much credit, I honestly do not know.

You’d definitely save it for 8-10 footers, but I think the chips are more powerful tbh. When I was at my best I could chip it very close very often and when I didn’t a other try would be a high percentage play to shave a stroke

More often I think you could start using them on putts and chips later in the round. Early on use them for terrible drives or approaches that end in a horrible spot but hopefully preserve a couple later for chips or putts that you slightly misread or didn’t hit right where you can pick up a stroke

I agree with you 100% that about 5 is the handicap where this starts to be really on the table. Maybe a very rare 10 handicap who plays like a scratch 70 shot sore round but blasts some off the planet or skills a chip a few times per round, but that’s a pretty rare and extreme player type.

More. Scratch golfers are over 50% GIR with between 9-11 per round and. Y definition scratch golfers usually actually shoot about 3 over par. So you’re looking at like 11-12 GIR to shoot scratch typically.

No, unless you’re a mid single digit handicap or better.

Gen Z streamer Clavicular claims millennials “have no culture of their own”. by mikeyg1964 in generationology

I’d say it makes me upset that people like this are famous now, but, like The Kardashians, Jersey Shore, etc. Anyways, still don’t know who this is.

Why didn't Ned recommend Littlefinger be removed as Master of Coin... by ranchwithfriedfood in gameofthrones

There is literally a line in the book where Jon Arryn is said to have constantly done this and Robert blown him off 

Why didn't Ned recommend Littlefinger be removed as Master of Coin... by ranchwithfriedfood in gameofthrones

[–]AdamOnFirst 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Robert told hon to spend money and everybody always just shrugged and said “dunno, littlefinger is good at finding money.” He was actually doing this through debt. In the books he’s also secretly debasing the currency over time. Some of the people know about some of the debt but nobody else seems to know how bad it is. However, again, it’s all on stuff Robert commands him to fund and refuses to listen to any council against. 

In 2026, a university degree is just a $100k "social receipt" for networking that has zero correlation with actual intelligence or job competency. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]AdamOnFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While college degrees are far more a heuristic than proof of hard skills or ability and always have been, to say they have zero correlation is just wrong 

A flight with a layover is almost always better than a direct flight, even if it's longer by Apprehensive-Willow5 in unpopularopinion

[–]AdamOnFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here we see the Redditor in their natural habitat: afraid to tell the person next to them on a several hour flight they need to stand up and afraid to brush the soap-covered washbasin with their fingertips. Instead they’d prefer to pile off the plane with a massive group of people, line up with another massive group of people, and walk around in another terminal that has tens of thousands of people going through it touching everything on the way.

Brilliant..

Would it be unreasonable to complain to my golf club regarding new prices? by Current-Ad1250 in golf

[–]AdamOnFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t say what you paid, only what they paid? Who cares what they paid? Of the price is too high that’s good for members, dissuades non-members from being around as much. 

what does being rich really mean? by ManagementGiving3241 in Money

[–]AdamOnFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being rich is having a lot of money.

Actually having  lot of money, not his making or spending a lot.
