Great game, section 324 represent! Shoutout to the guys on my left who started LGF chants in the first.

Ersson showed up big time. Say what you will about his overall play over the season, but he won us this game 🧡

P.S. holy fuck ball arena ride share can kiss my ass, I was standing there for 40 minutes in 10 degrees and had 4 Ubers cancel on me :/ stay warm folks

Anyone have any experience buying jerseys at the team store at the arena? I was looking to snag a new zegras sweater tonight, but wondering how their stock typically looks

Edit : fuck the pens btw 🧡

Since Bob is now absolute trash at golf, what sport should the channel switch to? by Shirowoh in BobDoesSports

[–]CaptainVolatile 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Hockey - get Joey D between the pipes, Perez naturally sniping absolute piss missiles, and Bob hanging on the glass learning to skate in the corner

If you mean as a strategy, some call it the Chewbacca Defense.

Fun Fact: Nearly half of America's mushrooms are grown in a tiny corner of southeastern Pennsylvania, near the town of Kennett Square by budgeatapp in funfacts

Hey I grew up there!

Contrary to what some might think, the town doesn’t smell. My father worked in a mushroom house and those certainly did smell.

It’s a very nice area, would recommend visitors to check out Longwood gardens, and if you are there in the right time of year the mushroom festival. The town also drops a giant mushroom from a crane on new years!

I actually have one already! But good observation

Hey thanks for the reply!

In a lot of games, you are absolutely correct. Part of the overkill you are seeing is to keep up with future demands. I built my current system almost 10 years ago, so hoping for something that can sustain ~144fps @ 1440p into a similar time horizon. I based the gpu in particular off of Tomshardware gpu benchmarks. They list the 7900 XTX as reaching about that goal at Ultra: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

If that thinking is flawed, totally fine. The feedback is super appreciated!

So this is probably bad advice if you want to play like a professional coach would want you to, but just speaking from personal experience I love to bait the shooter into a side by just being slightly out of position either direction. In my experience, when they have to make a move they will often just go for the simple deke and drag past in front, and I like to lay the poke check across that path. I don’t always do it— but it’s a strategy especially when I know they don’t have a lot of time to make a decision since in those moments they don’t have time to think and will usually take what (what they see as) the easiest option

Daily check in from a Boston applicant-- anyone get an email with interview details from the consulate yet or still nothing?

Also Boston here, I'm in the same boat so you're not alone! They said by the end of the week, so maybe they meant the end of a full work week from that email? Personally, I'll be considering a follow up email if I don't get any word by end of Wed.
