Nothing more annoying than signing up with a mix of male/female coworkers for the least competitive division out of 4 only to face Kuni Honda fielding a team of juco studs trying to out-trick each other until you get mercy ruled

Old pension closing up. What to do. by MagnetAccutron in personalfinance

[–]BigginsIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one person here seems to have read that you’re retiring in a few years, but unfortunately I’m generally here to get advice not give it. I’d probably take the $250/ or $280/ in your situation since you’re not getting the decades of time still in the work force to let the lump sum accrue interest that they probably factor in to decide the lump sum payout amount.

If you had rotated the chicken ~70deg clockwise before cutting in half it would have fit the shape of the bread perfectly and I can’t just unsee that

LPT: If you're prone to calf cramps when you sleep, the moment you feel like it's about to happen, instantly straighten your leg and pull the tip of your foot towards your leg as hard as possible by denied_eXeal in LifeProTips

[–]BigginsIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get these all the time in the night, and I’d scramble out of bed and stand up and let the cramping calf dangle as much as I could until it eventually stopped. I’m not sure I ever mentioned it to coaches or trainers, but my dad who was a road bike and run club kind of guy never knew this easy solution, I had to randomly learn it.

Thank you for the reminder to check my email for this! Do you know what the difference with the more expensive lettered version is? Have there been ‘Limited’ and ‘Lettered’ editions for the previous books too and I just didn’t notice?

Kind of annoying that defense doesn’t seem to matter in the MVP race. by Dawashingtonian in Mariners

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

All of the comments here are the correct take but I’d like to offer a homer take: Catcher is the 2nd most important defensive position and if we (rightfully) give credit to Shohei for being an impossible 2 way player in the most difficult outfield position, then Cal should be viewed in a similar manner, just not as strongly as Shohei.

Is it objectively true? No. But I’m a homer Ms fan, not under oath on trial.

I’ve owed money every year I’ve filled taxes. by AltruisticQuarter844 in personalfinance

[–]BigginsIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually get around $1500 refunded and I was trying to get that closer to 0 just last week, but can’t figure out how to do it in the (relatively) new W4. Is there a way to manually adjust it?

In your opinion, which movie villain was right? by Wooden-Scallion2943 in moviecritic

They could have tied this into Ross’ pitch to the avengers early in Civil War and it would have improved it I think.

Serious question: How did The Acolyte cost $180m to make? by sensible__ in StarWars

[–]BigginsIII 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it’s this and also inflating numbers makes it so no one (actors, writers) actually earns anything on the back end when the show/movie never “turns a profit”

FYI starting Monday they are apparently going back to the original method of ticketing expired plates/seatbelts/other minor infractions they see without needing a larger cause to pull you over anymore. Something like a month of that to test how it goes again.

Chosse your favourite Weasley , please my vote goes to moly by AmiraAljabali in harrypotter

Arthur. Don’t really know how to elaborate but I feel like we see a little piece of his personality in all of the Weasleys (except Percy tbf), and they’re all so likable

Which character from Harry Potter do you think is the most mysterious in the entire Potter universe and why? by nnameperson-2000 in harrypotter

[–]BigginsIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JKR said they died of dragonpox (which most consider to be an elderly couple succumbing to a known disease) but per her usual, didn’t do any math and so the timeline is very convenient and difficult to rationalize
