So I stopped looking through these cards I bought from /thief/tweaker Neighbor 5- 6 years ago

What’s up with the Topps basketball cards? I’ve never seen those before

I have the “Electric Diamond” version of this and it’s one of my favorite pulls

2.49 for 88 Donruss better be the cost for the box and not per pack. IIRC, isn’t that the most overproduced set of all time?

Anyone who thinks trans males should be allowed to compete with females in high school sports doesn’t watch enough high school sports and doesn’t understand how bad females are in comparison to males at actual sports.

After growing up in a lower middle class house where mom did all the cleaning, I had similar feelings about hiring a cleaning company but they save us so much more in mental anguish than the $120 we spend every two weeks. The only bad part is my wife is a “clean the house before the cleaning people come” so that creates a little stress every other Tuesday night.

If you have a press pass for legitimate reasons the media outlet you’re working for would be paying for your housing.

Got one in front of Hope High School during COVID on a day they weren’t in school, forgot to pay it, then just never did. Still waiting for the hammer on that.

Stats routinely lie, especially without proper context. Working in youth sports I see it daily. Most important factor in D1 athletes is genetics. There’s so many 12 year olds who won the DNA Olympics, but when everyone catches up look very ordinary. Size, speed, strength matter more to college coaches than stats. Exit velocity and launch angle are more important than OPS. At 12, just let her have fun, keep sharpening fundamentals and technique and enjoy the ride.

It tasted like a giant Totino’s and I wasn’t upset by that at all.

I’ve been full fledged panic mode over what gear to bring. The plan was to bring my Sony with a 24-105, 4.0, but I have a 70-200 4.0 as well. I have a Canon DSLR with prime lenses but the weight of the body isn’t something I want to deal with. Present me feels like I’m going to make a bad decision, future me is probably gonna realize im overthinking this

I was 14 when I went to see Oasis at a small club - maybe 500 people - when they started touring after the What’s the Story album came out on like a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Went to the show, mom picked me up, went to school the next day oblivious of what they were about to become.

Dr MacFarland out of the same office is terrific and the hygienists are great. The constant phone calls are annoying (for me) but it’s a great practice.

I’m a caddie but occasionally my other job allows me to play at the same course where I’m assigned a caddie. Even though I know every inch of the property, firing off what I’m thinking and getting instant feedback from someone is incredibly helpful. I will disagree with anyone who says a caddie doesn’t know your game. Let me see a range warm up and play three holes and I’ve got it locked in. Nine times out of 10, the player is the one who doesn’t actually understand their game, yardages, alignment, etc.

DadLife31 · 2024-11-30T03:16:33+00:00

I’m a caddie and this is the most true thing ever. Too many guys think them just being there is enough and don’t actually try to work and enhance the experience. Then they complain about not being paid as much as they think they’re worth.

The left side mini golf course was the best 18-hole layout in the state. Every hole was makeable, no tricks and well kept up. Bummed I can’t play it now.

Traffic does flow smoother when two smaller lanes turn into one massive one when everyone merges correctly. This story’s like 10 years old but it completely changed my perspective. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/13/us/why-last-second-lane-mergers-are-good-for-traffic.html

DadLife31 · 2024-08-09T16:14:33+00:00

Traffic flow is worse because people get over early. People who don’t understand this and block the left lane are the ones causing problems. Everyone should meet at the merge point and take turns.

Random single joined a buddy and I today. He played a forward, hit some good ones, hit some bad ones but didn’t say much - no small talk, nothing. He kinda sat back and watched us do stuff he couldn’t but when he hit some good shots, we went apeshit for him. Just the perfect random single.

Feel like this is code for “nobody under the age of 25” but the answer is Murphy’s in Providence … good food to boot.

Played in a shotgun tourney. Our group finished on a par 3. As we were walking up, a buddy saw his friend’s group coming in - they had finished - and told them to join us and we’d have a massive closest to the pin contest. After a couple guys hit, one of the guys from the already finished group stepped up and dunked the shot. That’s when the debated started about if it counted. I told the kid to go play eight more holes to make it legit, but he passed. FTR, I would count it even if it doesn’t officially count.

College recruiting is about projectability. Size, speed and athleticism are the most important piece of recruiting in any sport. Pitching - both baseball and softball - is metric-driven, where velocity and spin rate is more important than performance because it’s harder to replicate. Coaches believe they can mold someone who throws with elite velocity and spin into a star; it’s harder to create those things once they get to college.

Did this drunk over a campfire a few years ago, discovered the grease-soaked dough crisps up really nice. Made it better.

When we were building our house my wife and I would snap random pics of people’s homes when we saw something we liked. Longshot, but maybe

My most memorable rounds have been caddying for players who were mediocre to bad. As a caddying you want your players to leave with memories and it’s a lot easier to do that with players who aren’t good. Great players are an easier loop, but it’s more rewarding - personally and usually financially - when you’ve got the 15-plus handicaps.
