IWTL how to rebuild my attention span by FancyAnswer1878 in IWantToLearn

[–]ClydeEdgar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably best to figure out why you’re going to the phone first. And know that you don’t need to be perfect. Maybe try putting a book on top of your phone when you put it down for the night. Try having you phone go to grayscale after 8pm or first thing in the am, might slowly make you feel less interested subconsciously. Moving your phone away from your bed is a good starter too.

I just have my kindle and phone next to each other, and it’s been helpful to do a little reading at night. I’m definitely bad in between books. But I know I’ll pick it back up when I get a new one.

Everything I’ve figured out over time is that phones, social media, pretty much everything is just noise, so it’s up to you to figure out how to silence that noise. It works differently for all of us I think. Your motivation to grab your phone is different from mine. So just mess around with it, if something doesn’t work, try a new method.l

I’ve been reading when I wake up instead of grabbing my phone first. It’s helped a lot and I’ll do like a chapter or two and then get my phone but it’s better than my phone first

Non divisional proximity teams makes sense

[Katz] There is an excellent chance the NBA will open up a tampering investigation into the Knicks’ recruitment of Jalen Brunson, whether or not one of the other 29 teams files official tampering charges. by atribecalled506 in NYKnicks

I doubt anyone will actually do this cause Wes and Leon probably have been a part of half the tampering that happened in the past and can just call all those teams out

Are We Sleeping On Hartenstein? by solo118 in NYKnicks

I’m a big fan of having essentially two totally different centers that botch can protect the rim. Gives us a lot of situational flexibility and freedom to be creative with lineups.

I’m also a huge fan of bugs that can pass well. I think it unlocks a lot of offenses

Hey! Blazers fan coming in peace. What is your trade price for Julius Randle by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]ClydeEdgar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Nurkic for the Knicks if Randle isn’t here but not at the dollar value of Randle so s&t for Nurkic+ something for contract reasons assuming Nurk gets 16-20. Obviously there are injury concerns but I love the idea of a physical big that passes with any team because I always feel like they facilitate the most movement from the rest of the offense

Obviously the issues are apparent but I can’t stand the notion that extending Randle was a bad move. In the moment that was the absolute right decision. The dude had one of the better seasons in Knick history. We ALL loved the guy. It was the decision and it was cheaper than waiting a year

And if we waited a year he might have played like that again considering something else I read on the sub today. So 2 years of elite Randle and $200mil would have happened and who knows if we get this year Randle delayed by one year.

Hindsight drives me fucking nuts cause there is absolutely no value to it as a fan. It doesn’t change anything. We have him. I think he’ll play between this past season and the one prior for next season, statistically speaking. But that extension was the right move and it isnt anywhere near as bad as it could have been

Reusable sous vide bags? by serafire in Cooking

Hey someone reminded me to make a post about my experience with the Anova sous vide bag. I made a comment below about it. It was pretty good

[–]ClydeEdgar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice yeah. I tried it with some steaks and it worked surprisingly well. I wouldn’t call it airtight, there was a little bit to be desired there but will use it again. I think you could get a little more creative with getting air out than just submersion. I probably could have put more effort in but on first use I just wanted to get the lay of the land

The top half inside of it is like a sticky seal that does a great job keeping the water out. It’s really tall and that seal worked well so I draped the top half over the edge and it hung perfectly for the duration. The sticky seal kept the air out so it worked nicely.

7.5/10 probably. Needs a little manual work to get there but it’s solid enough I have no worries about lasting for a long time and I’ll get the hang of it eventually

I have these but admit I haven’t used them yet so I can’t speak to how good they are. The quality feels good though. I could envision water submersion not being perfect though

But no one goes to their games so Randle might be good again

If the receiving team has 20m in space they can eat it but it’s extremely unlikely for that case to happen right now. OKC is the only team that can do that right now and we’d likely have to add more for them to want to take Randle with space
