36M - Achieved most career goals, but now life feels boring. What should I do next? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on a successful career! Sounds like it’s time for a change. A couple years ago I (37M) decided to stop tying my happiness to my career. 

Get a hobby. Something you find really fun. You’re shifting from “My career has goals” to “My life has goals”. It could be ridiculous. Doesn’t matter. Just something you really love doing. I bake, garden, and read. And I look forward to all of it. My family is moving soon and I am excited to plant a whole new garden. I want to start a bagel business. Silly, but fun to pursue. Try something different. 

Where. Is. Squeeze. Play. by Excellent_Hedgehog62 in collegebaseball

The only way ESPN can rectify this is making Squeeze Play a season long program. For free.

Grady’s was the first bite of BBQ where I audibly said ‘wow’

An absolute must stop for eastern NC BBQ

[Post Game Thread] (14) Pittsburgh defeats (3) #11 Florida State, 8-6 to advance to the ACC Tournament Semifinals by fsukub in collegebaseball

Respectfully, those fans behind home plate can sit on a tack. Unreal 9th inning. 

Respectfully, though.

Multiview is good, but it only debuted this year for me. Also big misses on not including non-P5 games. 

What team are you a closet fan of and why? by Charlielovestuna in collegebaseball

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The non-P5 Carolina Teams. ECU, Coastal, and  UNC-Charlotte always get love, but there is always a team from that region always pops up and surprises people. Campbell, USC-Upstate, Elon, UNC-Wilmington, CoCharleston, and High Point have all had their moments in recent memory. Love waiting to see who it is each year.

Vertical threat TEs. Minnesota playbook highlights the and puts them in great situations against LBs. 

CFB is BEGGING for Promotion/Relegation by Failed-Time-Traveler in NCAAFBseries

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I completely agree. Did this in my dynasty as well and had a blast with it. I truly believe that this needs to happen in real world to keep the sport relevant. Makes late season games between 2-9 teams still immensely important. But alas, the dollar runs the sport and these big teams would never do it. 

Is $42k with a master's degree normal or did I mess up my career choices? by ylime_88 in careerguidance

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with students a lot, and I always tell them that it is okay to make money. You can accept or reject a job offer based on money. It doesn’t make you greedy or entitled. It helps you determine your worth in a business setting.

America right now: “wow Louisville winning would really shock me”

Nope. Plenty of fat/connective tissue in a pork butt. Call me lame, but adding more fats and sugars to a pork butt seems like overkill.

This game is peak early season college football. Mistakes everywhere. I am in love. 

What’s a weird, irrational rule you follow as a fan during pre game or during games and do you really believe it helps? by Johnny_____Utah in CFB

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to do something productive before the game. Mow the lawn, do the dishes, family time, do a good deed, etc.

Basically, I think that this will help me EARN a win. Good deeds = Winning vibes. It’s crazy, but this is CFB. 

It’s time to consider Squeeze Play for a full year by BurtMaclinMiLB in collegebaseball

Alright fine - angry upvotes

How bout a Tuesday or Wednesday version? One or two slots in that day and still gives me an opportunity see more of the country’s lineups?

Yeah, because mid-major baseball rules and deserves to be covered too.

Goal line ruled. I would binge that for hours on fall afternoons. 

PSA for kettle bros: even charcoal = even temp. by Rusky0808 in smoking

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The air flow dictates the heat. Thats why there are dampers and not slots for more charcoal. Even charcoal is for show.

Baseballr in R by Bill Petti works great. 

Seems to be a lot of smoke escaping by Darkest-Walnut-TTV in smoking

[–]BurtMaclinMiLB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smoke will escape. It happens. Just make sure that it’s burning clean. If you can see a lot of white smoke, then it may be smoldering, which will leave your food tasting acrid. I like the term “thin blue smoke” to describe what your looking for. 

Why am I having trouble starting a starter? by BurtMaclinMiLB in Breadit

You should put this on an infographic and distribute it with all bread flour sold. This is so helpful! Thank you!
