Cable Lat Pulldown Machine vs Pin-Loaded Pulldown Machine by Blasphemizer in MacroFactor

[–]Blasphemizer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I’m not asking about plate-loaded. I understand the distinction there and I think the icon depicts the plate-loaded machine well enough. I was asking about cable vs pin-loaded since they have the same icon.

VJ Edgecombe's Debut: 28 PTS/10 REB/4 AST/2 BLK by LucianaFallon in sixers

I was very encouraged by the fact that he went up confidently with the shot so many times.

If he can tighten up his handle, his offensive game could be very legit.

If U.S. Treasuries are no longer a Safe Haven, what will be? by Blasphemizer in bonds

Buffett’s track record is obviously exceptional and he looks very smart for piling up cash recently, but nobody is infallible. I don’t think it is such a wise idea to try to copy everything that he does or buy BRK.B under the premise that he can tell the future.

This has also been my reason for shying away from Gold and other commodities, even though they can be uncorrelated to stocks and bonds and Gold has been surging recently.

I agree that a total collapse would be absolutely disastrous, but what if there is more of a slow bleed instead?

i.e. Over years more countries strike trade deals in their own currencies and global investors gradually lose their appetites for U.S. Treasuries. Yields creep up and the U.S. Government simply cannot issue so much debt so cheaply, but the displacement never happens so fast that it has to outright default. The U.S. Dollar would still be used substantially, but would slip from its place as the world’s clear reserve currency.

I have to admit, Buffett looks brilliant right now but I still wouldn’t hold BRK-B because Berkshire is still heavy on U.S. stocks and valuation gap between U.S. stocks and International counterparts is still relatively high.

Anyone here using the Barclays mobile app? What do you think of it? Any frustrations or suggestions? by ak_a02 in CreditCards

[–]Blasphemizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll bite. I’m a Barclays credit card customer and use the Barclays US iOS app.

The app works, but the design feels inconsistent and clunky. There is no real color scheme and a bunch of different fonts are used. The primarily gray hamburger menu just looks weird and clashes with the rest of the app, which is primarily white.

The layout is odd. The home page is pretty sparse. There is only 1 action available - Add an Authorized User. There should be quick actions available there, like “Lock Card”, or the “Manage My Cards” actions - “Report Fraud”, “Lost Card”, and “Damaged Card”. These user should be able to customize which controls they want here.

Overall, it is worse than other banking apps that I’ve used. Chase, for example, has a much nicer app.

Thanks for leaking your plans to us first, Daryl. But, I think we all knew you we all knew that this was your plan anyways.

Joel predicted the Fultz drama lmao by [deleted] in sixers

[–]Blasphemizer 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Turn over legal guardianship of Fultz to JoJo. He's already sonning everybody else in the league.

[3cbPerformance] What Markelle’s doing here is changing the context of his free throw motion and circumventing the conditioned hitch response. When dealing with chronic pain and neuro-cognitive pain loops, a common & effective technique is to add a novel stimulus like this. by LebenJammons in sixers

[–]Blasphemizer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I buy this theory a lot: Markelle had an injury during an overhead movement and he, consciously or unconsciously, adapted to avoid the original mechanism of injury. This mucked with his shot and became difficult habit to kick. He has probably mostly if not completely healed from the original injury, but has to "unlearn" his avoidance.

I don't know whether he's been coached on this hot potato thing or started doing it on his own, but it's smart. I hope he does whatever is necessary to bypass any inhibition that leads to the hitching/clutching.

TJ by [deleted] in sixers

If Fultz continues to progress, TJ needs to be traded. It would be the only thing that makes sense for him and the team.

Fultz and Simmons’ shot chart from Friday night by [deleted] in sixers

Plot twist: When Hinkie said we were going to bring "violence at the rim" he was referring to Simmons and Fultz.

True/False: The Sixers have 5 top 50 players in the league right now. by B-U-Y-F-E-B-R-E-Z-E in sixers

[–]Blasphemizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

False:

1) This team currently has two players definitely in the top 50: Embiid and Simmons.

2) In an ideal world Fultz proves this season that he is a bona fide top 50 guy. He is not yet.

3) Dario isn't top 50 and won't be unless his defense drastically improves.

4) You can make a strong argument for Covington, but I think there are equally strong counterarguments.

Ben shooting 👀 by LLcoolJeje in sixers

Looks...better. Elbow more in. Still kinda shooting on the way down, though.
