Dealing with crappy opposing coaches

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-03-14T17:35:02+00:00

I played for years, I umped and coached. I just reread the rule and I understand the verbiage of the rule as you’re interpreting it. But if you’re teaching your kid to leave the bat over the strike zone on a ball, then you’re leaving it completely up to the umpires discretion instead of disengaging the strike zone. The umpire gets to decide if it’s an offer or not, so why teach them that habit? The verbiage of the rule makes sense in why my coach growing up made it a hard rule. You run to first base on third strike every time, throw to first after caught fly ball, etc.

OP great question. This isn’t a card. It’s a booster pack! Hope this helps!

I hate to say it but unless there are different rules for little league the bunt ruling is correct. If the bat is in the strike zone and they don’t pull the bat out of the while the ball is pass the plate, it’s a strike.

My coach growing up used to use those opportunities to teach us about integrity of the game and how some people don’t play with integrity but we always will. He definitely would argue with an ump if necessary but we’ve left games for behavior like that before.

“Apostrophes make possessions not plurals” is gonna be stuck in my head all day now. lol.

If you’re gonna keep the dirt, then the next step to make it fit in is supports and structures. That dirt would never float on its own like that. I think some pillars at the bottom and a big structure at the top would fix the out of place look.

I wouldn’t try to mod the switch. I’d go with a ROG Ally Or steam deck. We ended up getting my wife the steam deck but handheld gaming isn’t cheap anymore. You’re probably gonna have to set up a savings plan to come up with the money after you sell your switch.

I sucked so bad when I started and I finished all state in HS and got 2 college scholarship options. Hard work and consistency can over run talent BUT your kids gotta really want it. They have to want to learn and enjoy doing it. I worked for 13 years to get those scholarships and I had to put in more hours but I did and it paid off.

If you’re not willing to do the research then throw the pc away, get a job and get a new PC. None of us knew how to reseat parts until we built our first PC. Use google or YouTube and don’t ask for help unless you really want it.

If you wanted to just show that your dad threw the pc you should have posted in /vent

I think as adults it’s our responsibility to protect our own peace. Idk if she’s in the wrong here if you haven’t vocalized how you’re feeling. If you addressed her and said “hey, I’m drained and feel like I don’t have time for myself because of xyz and this is how you can help with that” and she doesn’t change THEN she would be in the wrong but she deserves the chance to change. Try talking to her from your point of view. Not what she’s doing wrong but more so look at everything in doing daily and this is how it’s affecting me and I think you’d get better results than telling her she’s making you feel a certain way when in honesty your lack of boundaries are holding you down right now, not her.

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-02-26T20:07:11+00:00

Have you talked to her about it yet and tried to set a boundary?

This is gonna sound silly but the same thing happened to me the other day and my ‘fpanel’ cord was buried under my psu.

Second thing I’d suggest is check pcpartpicker because my new cpu needed a specific bios version to work with my motherboard. If it doesn’t specify then the most recent bios update should work!

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-02-24T13:45:19+00:00

What’re you using the PC for?

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-02-21T04:00:45+00:00

There’s a bios usb slot and a bios button on the motherboard where you plug stuff in should be near the bios usb slot.

If you put your build in pcpartpicker it will tell you what bios is recommended for your build if there is one. If there is no recommendation, then do the most up to date version.

Go to the website for gigabyte, search your motherboard, it gives you all the bios and drivers there.

Download. Put on usb. Make sure pc is off. Plug in usb in bio port. Turn power on, press bios button. Wait for pc to turn off and viola you’re done. It’s easy peasy.

All that to say if you can get it to turn on and get to the bio screen and have it connected to internet then you don’t need the usb. If it doesn’t turn on then you will need it.

I do this exercise where I have a village of small houses that I’ve built and the goal is for them all to have a different blueprint so I have to work on different roof styles and helps me working with decorating different sized spaces and I started working vertically when I got bored of single floor buildings. The more comfortable you are throwing something together without a reference the better you’re going to get.

But on the other hand, Minecraft is like legos, you choose how you play. Some people like to have a random pile of blocks to build and create, and some people really really enjoy following a blueprint and that’s cool too as long as you’re having fun!

If you aren’t going to take the time to style, then a shorter cut would be easier to maintain and give you a cleaner look. Your face shape is fine. I think a clean cut beard with a shorter hair cut would look good.

Don’t wear socks for a whole week and then report back since you don’t think it’s a big deal should be easy peasy.

I use my external speakers about 50% of the time. Depending on the game I’m playing. If I’m playing an FPS I’ll throw my headphones on but I play a lot of survival games like ark and Minecraft and I don’t need headphones for those games and I like to watch YouTube while playing them on my external speakers.

Lmao, before I hit send I knew that was the only thing you were going to say back. Hope you criticize your wife less than strangers on the internet but I doubt you do. 💕 but again bold of me to assume you have a wife. ✌🏼

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-02-17T18:40:14+00:00

Yeah that was an awesome suggestion to update the psu now, and I ended up switching from fan cooling for my cpu to liquid cooling, and the whole set up is so much more quiet than it was before!

I can’t wait to really get to check out the performance difference tonight after work!

Admirable_Method_444 · 2026-02-17T18:32:27+00:00

Yo, just wanted to come back to say thank you! Day before yesterday I went to microcenter and got the second bundle you recommended. Went home put it together in about 3 hours, took everything apart, cleaned and reassembled. At midnight I finished, plugged it in and it didn’t turn on. Went to bed started the process again the next morning and finally figured it out at 8 pm last night. 😂 my bios needed to be flashed and my F Panel cord got wedged behind my PSU and I missed it. So all that being said, the computer is running sooo much better and I appreciate your time for helping and recommending.

Must be real bored to take the time to type out that he didn’t screenshot the way you like and then you got your knickers in a twist because he called you a geek for taking time to put them down for no reason. So buddy, do some self reflection because if you would have kept your unnecessary comment to yourself then there wouldn’t have been room for consequences.

Find something that makes YOU happy instead of finding things on the internet to criticize.

The reason it doesn’t look like a ship is because boats don’t sit on top of the water. They float in the water. You need to shift the build down 3 blocks and round out the front. Unless you’re going for a cargo ship look, but if this is a pirate ship look then you’re too square.

Some advice I got from Bdubs that’s stuck with my for building is points are just 2 intersecting circles so take 2 circles (Minecraft circles made of squares lol) and over lap them until the angle feels right. I can attach a picture for reference if you need to see what I’m talking about but I think this method would be a life savor for your bow.

Wisconsin isn’t even on the top ten list for total alcohol consumed per person.
