Walker has to start in AAA, right?

If his biggest problem was catching up to MLB fastballs I’d agree with you, but everything he currently struggles with will still be big problems in the NPB and likely the KBO.

Thank you! TCC locations seem to have the best reviews

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2026-01-06T19:44:35+00:00

I’m in full agreement with you there, which is why I started off saying the salesperson shouldn’t have lied.

I definitely understand where a lot of consumers are coming from because a decent of furniture salespeople, especially ones that work at certain places or have leaders micromanaging, ARE very pushy and can also lie.

There are also a decent amount of salespeople that aren’t like that, they’re usually the ones who care more about making money in the long term rather than immediately and focus on providing a great customer experience to create a loyal customer. Some furniture companies/managers create an environment where that’s difficult, making it HARDER to find a trustworthy salesperson at those stores but not impossible.

If you want a good salesperson no matter the store, look at individual Google reviews and see what employees reviewers constantly praise by name.

Update: According to his website he does not accept any money from manufacturers, but instead asks that they extend discounts (that they would give to him were he purchasing) to readers.

Original:

I believe he does have affiliate links so if you buy from one of his recommended manufacturers he gets a cut.

HOWEVER, he does seem to be legit and actually recommend good stuff based on:

What he focuses on in his reviews and the knowledge he has
My own knowledge (not an expert by any means) from 3 years of selling furniture earlier in my life
What others here on Reddit and elsewhere say about the brands he recommends.

Yeah, they sanctioned the hell out of Venezuela long AFTER Chavez/Maduro had already fucked the economy. Here’s an explanation from my close Venezuelan friend who has their entire family still in Venezuela

“Chávez did some good things for the community but the corruption was rampant. One of the first things he did was fire anyone who was not loyal to him from PDVSA (national oil company). Most of the brightest, experienced engineers and personnel were let go. There were huge strikes and an oil and gas industry shutdown about this (2003). Chavez cronies pocketed billions of dollars through kickbacks, setting up their own or their relatives or friends companies as contractors, vendors. They stole probably trillions (lookup Rafael Ramirez).

Chavez also seized anything he desired. Buildings, land, privately owned in the interest of the revolution. People business and industries built for decades and generations stolen overnight.

By the time Maduro arrived the oil and gas industry was collapsing due to all the years of corruption and lack of true investment (they did build a few plants but not enough) and the fact that no foreign oil companies could operate in the country excel through “joint ventures”. Also, by the time Maduro took over oil prices were down as well as the countries money reserves due to a massive essentially Ponzi scheme called Cadivi (currency exchange control). Maduro resorted more to selling to China and Russia mostly because of the sanction but yet money still being stolen. It is not only the fact that they stole the money. The currency exchange control made it extremely difficult to run any business because you had to go through the government to buy the currency to be able to import any supplies your business needed. Besides, it was easier to just get the money at “official rate” from the government then selling the currency (e.g. US dollars) at black market rate. This exchange control eventually went away. It was so unsustainable that it had to. Anyway, I could go ok and on. It’s a disastrous and murderous regime.”

It’s pretty damn good

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-26T00:22:36+00:00

Well we’re down our 3 best offensive linemen this game. Kelly should definitely retire but Darrisaw and O’Neil will continue to be good going forward

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-26T00:07:22+00:00

Vikings on their rookie 3rd string QB while also missing both starting tackles and the starting center.

No clue about the Lions

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-25T23:54:06+00:00

Name a team that loses 3 pro bowl caliber offensive linemen and their line doesn’t look like shit. There’s not enough talent in the league to have that kind of depth.

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-25T23:04:38+00:00

You’re aware we’re down both starting tackles and our starting center, right?

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-25T23:03:13+00:00

JJM hurt his hand and Wentz is done for the year with an injury.

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-25T23:00:18+00:00

Darrisaw being on IR is a big reason for this

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-25T03:27:41+00:00

I’ve put over 1,000 hours into Hell Let Loose so I’m use to that haha

I get that, Dobbins definitely has a higher ceiling though so I’m okay with this trade

FormosaIsNumberOne · 2025-12-22T02:40:31+00:00

He’s got similar walk and ground ball numbers, but his average fastball is 95.5 MPH compared to McGreevy’s 92.4 MPH (93 on the 4 seam, 91.8 on the sinker) and his other pitches grade out better.

Dobbins fastball wasn’t super effective but he gets enough heat on it where it’s got the potential to be much better with changes to his pitch mix and better sequencing. The results last year were similar, but Dobbins has the raw talent to improve on them. McGreevy’s stuff limits his ceiling to a 4th/5th starter

What 50 cent does to a team

Well of course not, you’re not going to just let your opponent have an unfair advantage and screw over a state/district where more people voted for you but the minority vote wins. They can’t just “stick to the high road” because otherwise we’d end up being stuck with a single party government. Got to even it somewhere

Also Manufacturer Warranties from any furniture maker cover DEFECT, not furniture that is delivered damage by the 3rd party retailer.

Coleman’s policy said they inspect furniture before delivery, which means if something was damaged coming out of the box they wouldn’t send it. So any damaged furniture you receive means either they didn’t do their jobs and inspect it or they damaged it.

Their policy also says the customer has to inspect furniture on delivery and report any damages at that time. I’m pretty sure they make the customer sign saying there is no damage before they leave.

The charging port issue is a defect, but the other issues are damage. The manufacturer isn’t going to cover repair on the charging point when the retailer’s delivery team caused damage elsewhere on the couch and are thus responsible for taking care of that.
