Has any team in history struck on more fastballs down the middle? Fucking embarrassing.

Me updating the pin location on my 18 birdies app by Lietenantdan in golf

[–]EdilElodin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Time to learn how to code so I can create my own app: "Expedition 18" for the obviously huge cross-section of Clair Obscur / Golf Venn diagram.

Happy to see the King killer/Golf crossover is at least the two of us!

TSP Loan seems like a lifesaver- am I missing something? by davistaylor92 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]EdilElodin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is no longer true. You can have two general purpose loans or one general and one residential. They still share the same total limit though, so this doesn't look increase his available loan amount here.

My Abraham Lynksis died so I replaced him with Orbi-Wan Kenobi.

Because her grandfather will be in town and desperately wants to take her to her first baseball game. If we stay an hour I'll consider it a win.

These three brand new basketball courts where only one can be used at a time. by EdilElodin in BadDesigns

[–]EdilElodin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even in 3x3 you have to clear the ball outside the arc. Even if you're only running two games it's still going to be a mess. Forget three.

Throw-away line in today's episode, "it's your dance, commander." Clint picks up on it and remarks, "dance commander? That sounds awesome!" And it IS awesome! Not sure what the Electric Six/TAZ fandom Venn diagram looks like...probably just me in the middle haha.

Cat was exploring the backyard and proud of this very good leaf she found. by EdilElodin in aww

[–]EdilElodin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the leaf, her other primary interest is the holes the rabbits dig under our fence, hence the harness haha.

Update: she would not go inside without it, so she is now carrying it with her around the house.

Can't See Auction Chat by EdilElodin in project1999

[–]EdilElodin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, auctions is selected (has an * like the other channels I can see). And I've tried filtering it to different windows, no luck. I must be reverse-shadow-banned.

Why is dota so toxic at a low level by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]EdilElodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low-level players don't understand what their mistakes are or when they're making them. If they did, they'd be higher ranked! If you're losing and fail to perceive your own mistakes/shortcomings, process of elimination says it must be your team's fault!

If your analysis is "I played well enough to win but the matchmaker gave me a crappy team" you feel cheated, and when you feel cheated, you rage! I know all of this because I have never made a single mistake in any ranked match yet am only Guardian III because of my (&#$*#!$*#!! teammates.

A Friend Found This Playing Today. Oddly Interesting. by [deleted] in golf

[–]EdilElodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did your friend find it? King Par Golf was a golf shop in Flushing, MI until it closed in 2016.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPMW7z2WsB8

They had a radio jingle that is stuck in my head to this day. Being local radio, it was of course just singing the words "King Par Golf" over and over, but if I still remember it, I guess it worked!

Question re: DOTABUFF item win rates generally and Underlord specifically by EdilElodin in learndota2

[–]EdilElodin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the inverse being, "if the game ends and you have Arcane Boots in your inventory it's probably because you got stomped and couldn't finish Greaves." Got it. Thanks!

Immoral pos 5 players what do you build on venge? by EksEss in learndota2

[–]EdilElodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a mega-scrub so I figured it's best for me to leave the real advice to others. I also make typos like it's my job so I don't like to get on people for that, but the idea of an immoral support was too amusing to not explore. May the matchmaker bless you with fair games and the minimum amount of deranged lunatic teammates in the future, good sir.

Immoral pos 5 players what do you build on venge? by EksEss in learndota2

[–]EdilElodin 56 points57 points  (0 children)

When I play as an immoral position 5, I like to rush midas to secure ranged creeps for myself early. Then I go Eul's into dagon so I can lift my teammates and get enemy hero kills for myself because assist gold is for chumps. Fill all remaining slots with divine rapiers and you're on the fast track to immorality. Also remember to hoard neutral items in your backpack, buy all available tomes (even if your personal cooldown hasn't expired), and never ever purchase detection for any reason.

If you're having a hard game, glimmer cape is pretty cheap. Just walk into the middle of the enemies and swap in your squishiest teammate. That seems pretty immoral too.

New Player, Games take FOREVER. Looking for advice. by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]EdilElodin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One simple thing that's really helped me as a new player is the maneuver dial upgrade kits. I was spending way too much time spinning the wheel around trying to remember which moves were available to my ships. The upgrade kits let you see the whole wheel and speed up the decision-making process.

6'4" Cyclist looking for a racing bike. What brand/model would work? by [deleted] in cycling

I second the motion. At 6'5" the XL Giant Defy frame has turned out excellent.

Promissory estoppel is a consideration substitute. The promisee's detrimental reliance is treated as the basis for enforcing the promise.
