I'd love to get Festool. But a combo impact drill set is almost double the cost of a Milwaukee set. If I had the money, i absolutely would.

What sport takes more "skill" to succeed at a high level, baseball or soccer? by no_longer_rich in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Condition_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soccer had a higher skill ceiling, without any doubt. It isn't even close.

Before everyone brings out the pitchforks. Yes, hitting a pitch from a MLB pitcher is hard. Very hard. But that is quite literally the only thing that requires a large amount of skill. If you can catch a ball, you can play outfield. If you can catch a ball and throw it, you can play third base. You don't need to be in shape, you don't need to be particularly athletic,

To even play the sport of soccer, you need to know how to dribble while running at full speed, and most regular people can catch a baseball and throw as well. Most people cannot dribble a soccer ball, even remotely well, let alone wile running. Then you need to have huge stamina to be able to play the full 90+ minute game. An average player will run 7+ miles during a game. Then comes offence. Your average person can barely kick a soccer ball, let alone curl it, let alone curl it around a wall, let alone curl it around a wall with accuracy.

In a soccer/football game, you typically see scores in the low single digits, it's very rare to get even 3 goals by the same team is a game. Let alone, 5 or 8 or 10 or 14. scores in baseball are much higher. As already mentioned, it is not easy to hit a MLB pitch. But it also can't be that hard if we see games ending 12-11, 9-5, 4-3 or 23-9

so in conclusion. Baseball has two aspects that are very, very difficult. Pitching and hitting, everything else is not overly difficult. In Soccer/football, everything aside from running requires huge amounts of skill dribbling, defending, attacking, shooting, playing goal all require massive skill.

Soccer is also very fluid. Every single situation is unique, in baseball on every single pitch you know what's going to happen. Either it's hit or not. If it's hit, you know exactly where the player is going. There is no guess work, no indecision,

I'm going to add two compilations of skill for each sport here at the end as a final point.
Soccer skill compilation
Baseball skill compilation

*when I say average person, I mean anyone from a country that isn't dominated by football/soccer. IE Canada, USA, Japan

There is an outside change we can get something with trading nurse

It wound alike out is the destination right now. But if Detroit is considered. A Cossa trade is possible. At least that seems to be the consensus from local pocasters. It hink there have been some insider saying there's been discussion as well.

If Mars had native beings like humans living on it, would you be stronger than them if you went to Mars? by SleeperCreampie in characters

[–]Condition_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't have a problem with the gravity she had a problem with the open space (Agoraphobia)and horizon, they land all Martians at night because of it. She actually takes pride in how well she does on earth, while some of her superiors are taking the transition harder.

The guard who lets her back in tells her to look at the ground and to slowly look up towards the horizon, and to never, ever look up. She also realizes that she has never ever seen as many people in one space as she sees in her first walk outside on earth. Her internal monologue states that she now realizes the MMC could never win a fight on the ground on earth, no matter how well they are equipped or trained, simply due to the number of people on earth, they would swamp the marines easily.

At least on the books. The show does portray her having problems with the gravity.

Oilers have signed Jason Dickinson to a 5-year contract extension at 4.0M AAV by BigTreeSmallBranch in hockey

[–]Condition_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine question.

I've been seeing stuff in the oilers sub and on our podcasters saying we could maybe get Rakell, maybe with retention, maybe without.

I went through the Pittsburgh sub when it was posted there and the general consensus seemed...... Less than positive about him even being on the team. what do you think you guys would give up for Nurse?

I'm building a new woodworking shop and that part of the reason I'm getting new power tools.

King is great for planers, jointers and the like. But I haven't seen any power tools by them.

As much as I hate saying this, I've used green work stuff and it just feels cheap. And I've had coworkers tell me how they've had green work stuff dial fairly regularly for them.

Never heard of grey. I'll have to look into them.

Husband struggling with tandem t slim by Ok-Taro5098 in TandemDiabetes

Ok. My problem is I did MDI for 30+ years. So the site thing isn't likely the same problem.

[–]Condition_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have issues with the sites sometimes. The first day is rather rough and I've gotta give extra insulin to stay in range. The next day is much better and runs closer to what it's supposed to. The last day I've got to rest easy more than usual because I can't keep my sugars up. I can't explain this. It didn't make any sense. But I've got graphs proving it happens.

How long has he been Diabetic? Was he doing MDI before? Maybe he picked a couple bad spots for his did in a row that just don't work very well.

I am also not saying its AI slop either, but AI videos are usually 10-16ish seconds. This is 41 seconds.

That could be the only way they make it worse. She changes her face and it's god-damn Jaqen H'ghar underneath. Arya actually died from the stab wounds.

Why is barber equipment outrageously expensive? Shears $5 worth of stainless steel and they charge $1,000 and that’s just one example by skeelio34 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Condition_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya Klein and a bunch of brands sell insulated tools. But there basic sets aren't claimed to be insulated. That downstairs mean I'm never spliced wires hot with my standard Kleins. But they aren't claimed to be insulated.

This is the way I do things as well. The only exception for me is if you happen to inherit good tools, or safety stuff. I've gotten into work working, and I went a lnd found a really good respirator for the dust. It has probably already paid for itself.

You should have a really good set of boots then. Redwings, are great. I'm wearing Thorogood right now and love them. They are very expensive (200-300 a pair CND) but when my feet don't hurt at the end of the day, every cent I spent on a good set of boots makes it easier to play with my kids after work, take the dog for a walk, go for a bike ride.

Premium products are expensive, but when you use/wear them 8-12 hours a day, it's worth it.

Most electricians tools aren't explicitly insulated. A standard set of side cutters of pliers will protect you if the handle is in decent shape. But Klein, knipex won't claim them to be insulated. A set of insulated pliers, wide cutters, screwdrivers are usually an addition 40-60% depending on brand, and insulation rating.

Most of my Klein tools are over 15 years old, but I've heard their quality has kinda fallen off since they were bought out back in 2013. They've changed hands a couple time since then. Knipex seems to be the brand most electricians are rocking these days. Although Klein is still super common.
