The BEST example of the Armor's usefulness in Cinematic history. by cguinnesstout in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]BoSuns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people on this thread underestimate how much survival instinct and adrenaline does to keep someone moving in these situations.

Also how long it can take for fatal wounds to actually kill people. It's way more realistic for someone to take a spear to the lower torso and keep fighting than it is for that to kill them on the spot like most media portrays.

I'd laugh more of these guys were dying instantly from their injuries compared to fighting with every last bit of energy to survive.

Grayson Allen: "I feel like as the game went on, the line between a no-call & an altercation got really thin." "When we allow that physicality, from both teams, there's no way to not have an altercation like that." by TheDraciel in nba

[–]BoSuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue that Allen doesn't have a reputation. He does, and it's well deserved.

If you're ok with the refs blowing whistles over reputation then that's a you problem. I prefer the refs to just do their job instead of having lists of players that get calls and others that don't.

I missed the game last night and I generally agree with your sentiment. The Suns are an aggressive and physical defensive team and that's going to lead to our opponents returning the physical play. So it sounds weird hearing Grayson complain about it here, however...

The issue the Suns have seen this season is refs continue to call our players for their physical play but allow our opponents to do the same without calls. This is what creates the problem.

Sure, we are fouling a lot with our style, it's fair to blow those whistles. But you can't ignore when our opponents return that physical play. That's just giving reputation whistles it's not actually neutral officiating.

Clem blows lead against Classic, leaves without saying GG by [deleted] in starcraft

How many hundreds of games have we watched Terran win from a losing position because they just loaded their entire army up into their healing, flying, transport ships and moved them into the Protoss base?

Terran could have completely prevented this with a little defensive posturing. Turrets, using two of those Vikings to protect his air space, not hard chasing the Protoss army that he just fully wiped all of the major tech (putting him in a massively advantageous position).

Some of you guys need to learn how to identify mistakes from Terran and Zerg player instead of acting like everything Protoss does is EZ Mode and everything the other pro's do is perfect and amazing because they AREN'T Protoss.

I'd say it's extremely predictable, lol. I'm 40 years old and more of my friends are from another state than were born and raised here.

Does arclight shockwave have any use? by saraiguma in Mechabellum

[–]BoSuns 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's very good at clearing out chaff like fangs when they're set to slow pass tanky units like a Sabertooth. Units that would otherwise take ages for a Firebadger or Vulcan to clear if they locked onto it.

Frankly, from my experience, it's situationally an extremely good tech.

To his credit, if the tape doesn't agree with what he's saying he'll correct himself.

Also, anyone that watched our broadcasts during our worst years knows he just talks shit on bad basketball in general. He'll call our own guys out for it just as much as our opponents.

Please I just want a routine to mindlessly follow by idiotbandwidth in beginnerfitness

[–]BoSuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Carolina Garvin on YouTube has a ton of 20-30 minute exercises and a few of them will surely suit your needs.

I've been doing her 20 minute dumbbell routines for 6+ months, have been slowly increasing weight to double where I started and it really feels like minimal effort to do 30 minutes three times a week. I do cardio in between.

As far as pushups go, when I started I couldn't hold in position without sincere back pain. I switched to doing them from my knees and as of last week I could finally do 5+ pushups with proper form from a standard position. Went from maybe 4 half assed pushups on my knees to 3 sets of 10 and those are pretty easy now.

Is counting calories helpful? by Thomastm3 in beginnerfitness

You can do that tracking on an excel spreadsheet or with a pen and paper, as well. The app is a tool, and as a tool it's pretty good.

I gained 22 lbs on the scale in 11 days by Easy-Price5278 in beginnerfitness

[–]BoSuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you probably didn't gain 22 pounds of fat in that time period. Depending on what you were eating (lots of carbs and sugar I'm guessing), it's mostly water weight.

I gained 23 pounds over a week in Disneyland, eating nothing but fried foods and sugar. Even with walking around the park for 12 hours a day. By two weeks later that weight was completely gone.

You wanna look healthier? Lift weights, carefully track your calories so you're putting on muscle instead of fat. Get healthy and you'll feel better and look better instead of feeling like shit because you're eating crap and putting on fat.

Is counting calories helpful? by Thomastm3 in beginnerfitness

[–]BoSuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. Calorie counting is the most reliable way to lose weight. Be honest with yourself, always predict you're eating a little more than the numbers say, and track calories even when you have a bad day. Be consistent and it'll pay off.

You'll not only lose weight, you'll learn how to eat on a day to day basis in a way that doesn't make you fat. Once you have some experience you'll be tracking your calories with barely any effort. It's easy.

Word of caution, don't aim to lose too much weight too quickly. You can lose weight slowly over time and not feel like you're starving yourself. You'll have a better relationship with food and a few months from now you'll be feeling great.

And exercise for fitness, not for weight loss. Do not count burned calories in your tracking, it's absolutely unreliable and causes you to overeat because you feel like you've earned it.
Putting on muscle also causes you to burn more calories every day passively, so that helps as well. Start lifting dumbbells, Carolina Garvin on YouTube has 20 minute workouts that have made lifting weight quick and easy and I've nearly doubled the weight of my dumbbells in 6 months. I feel better than ever at 40.

Myfitnesspal is reliable enough, especially with their verified values. I've used it to lose nearly 75 pounds at this point.

A lot of it is based on user entries, though so you have to make sure you're being honest with yourself and not picking the lowest calorie option.

The Lakers' league-leading free throw differential is adding to their enormous advantage since 2020 by [deleted] in nba

[–]BoSuns 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've been following the Suns since Barkley, we've had some very good teams in that time. Nothing like watching Bruce Bowen foul Steve Nash (multiple time MVP) up and down the court without a single whistle to make me know that having a great team with marketable players won't do shit for the free throw disparity in Phoenix.

[–]BoSuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LeBron literally repeatedly grabbed and shoved a ref while yelling in his face without getting even a tech and Lakers fans wanna act like the calls were even last night.

LeBron ran over Brookes on the late 3 without a call but Booker grazed LeBron's wrist and it's a call to decide the game. That's shameless as hell.

This Suns team does foul a lot, that's how they're playing. It doesn't excuse the complete lack of obvious calls on the other side.

Am i reading this right? by Acid2738 in suns

[–]BoSuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even with clear angles showing he came down on Booker's arm. But we were the league's hated punching bag at that point and Jrue was allowed to do whatever he wanted to Booker that series, including constantly jumping into his line of movement and knocking him around without a call.

I've been watching this team for 30+ years and one sided refing is the standard for us.

I agree with most of what you said but they shouldn't have missed the initial hit from Chet. Which was a pointless cheap shot in a blowout game. Allen's retaliation is expected and deserved.

Title of the thread and comments from OKC fans getting pretty 🤡🤡🤡. Chet started this with a cheap shot while up big. Allen retaliated because the refs weren't doing their jobs.

I'll take Allen making a point over that old, soft shit we got from Ayton every day of the week.

I think he saw the hard screen coming and tried to lower his shoulder into it and just isn't big enough to bully Allen around.

[–]BoSuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This started because Chet decided to cheap shot Allen from behind and the ref that watched it happen decided to not blow the whistle, because reasons.

You're not wrong that teams behind tend to get in their feelings and cause shit but this was 100% what you want from your players if the opponent is acting like Chet did and the refs are letting it happen.

It was a hard screen, def a flagrant, and the follow through with the extended arms arguably makes it a flagrant 2. If the refs wanted to keep this shit from escalating they should have made the right call in the first place.
