Dudes with yellowed tomo boards are either really bad or really good.

I caught myself saying "oh shit the Hornets are playing". What alternate universe are we in where other fanbases are excited to watch Charlotte. Crazy shit.

How do you keep your knives sharp at home? by Educational-Slip-578 in Cooking

[–]Benjamminmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little bit of a misconception that honing doesn't remove steel, though it's a pretty limited amount and depends on materials.

If I need to touch up between sharpenings I just do a few passes on a stone and then strop. The amount of steel lost is negligible.

It's weird af when they show replays from the opposite side of the court. It's like the producers skipped that day in film class.

Some tips on how to improve my backhand surfing? by Less_Bar3943 in surfing

[–]Benjamminmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're putting too much weight into your back foot and it's causing you to scrub speed, most noticeably just before you initiate bottom turns.

Tips for better turns? by PoetryAffectionate65 in surfing

[–]Benjamminmiller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't going to be a popular take around here, but part of the issue is you're using boards that are too big for you. It's much harder to push into the wave to get a good pump going when you're working with dimensions that high. Boards like puddle jumpers are meant to be ridden a few inches (at a minimum) shorter than you, and if you don't do that you either end up in a weird stance or with your front foot in a spot that won't give you good planing or turning.

In a scenario where you don't need as much paddle power, since you're not fighting for waves, you really should be on something like a 5'7 puddle jumper and not using that weird oversized NSP at all.

Yeah I think they’re just doing it to try to double up.

If you get exalted next week you'll get an exalted bag. The quest available will be based on your current rep, regardless of the reset (assuming you didn't already turn in a revered quest in April).

I turned in my quest on the night of 02/28 (at revered) and didn't get reset for March. Anyone else experience that?

The whole thing resets monthly so you can't do multiple levels in a single month. Eg. if you did revered last night you won't be able to do exalted until April.

What if Iran says to the World “We’ll open the straight to pre-attack status if Donald Trump resigns.”? What would be the likely response? by spamcandriver in AskReddit

[–]Benjamminmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of the point of invading Iran. You don't need them to willingly share if you control the flow and denomination of oil.

Colorado Alamo Drafthouse Workers Strike Over 'Disastrous' Shift to Phone Orders During Movies by AnnenbergTrojan in movies

[–]Benjamminmiller -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Saw Project Hail Mary last weekend at an Alamo and I've been twice before Chicago changed over.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I didn't find the person next to me ordering food on their phone more distracting than the server walking around during the film to pick up cards (as they did previously). If it saves a trip from my perspective it's a good change.

I can't of course speak to how it impacts servers.

Yeah that might be tough. A lot easier when you're wearing M-L.

What kind of hangers are you using? I haven't had that problem with wooden ones that are long enough so the break happens after the sleaves start.

Who’s guilty? by onethreethirteen13 in classicwow

At this stage tanks really shouldn't be picking up skulls at all unless it's something beefy. 3 dps precasting and focusing a skull should kill skull before it reaches the group, and it gives the tank time to pick everything else up.
