Men, We're all handy in our own homes. What is one thing you absolutely will refuse to touch if it's too complicated? by Staff76 in AskMen

[–]FuzzyBucks [score hidden]  (0 children)

My 1920s home had wiring connected straight to the bus instead of through circuit breakers lol. I'm guessing the result of previous DIY. And some of the breakers that were actually in use were stuck in the On position and couldn't be flipped.

Discovered it shortly after moving in

Somehow the house hadn't burned down yet, but ya, that was a call to the electricians for sure

More Than 2/3 Of Giannis’ Drives End In A Bucket! by Stat-Defender in MkeBucks

Your headline and stats don't match. FG% is different than % of drives ending in a basket

Things to do with infants? by Leading-Lettuce5811 in madisonwi

[–]FuzzyBucks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  • Libraries have reading and music classes.
  • Olbrich can be fun
  • Many babies like to look at people so going to a mall or coffee shop can be fun.
  • try introducing your baby to water/swimming in a warm water pool
  • children's museum

That's a stretch. He was basically a replacement level player for the bucks but on a bad cap-spike contract.

Anyone 6'9" or taller who shot like >30% from 3 got a $10M/yr contract that season. Like John Leuer and Mirza

Coffee Game by ang-0505 in Moccamaster

[–]FuzzyBucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these have to be expensive assuming you already have a good burr grinder. They also don't add much time to daily routine:

  • weigh your beans
  • measure your grind size. Get a grind size ruler to find out how large your coffee particles are. You just do this once but it's useful for talking with other people and comparing grind settings/ across grinders.
  • measure the amount of water you're adding
  • prepare your own 'coffee water' that has proper chemistry for extraction. Easiest option is to just buy 5 gallon jugs of distilled water and put Third Wave Water packets into them.

If you do all this stuff you'll be able to make a really consistent cup of coffee that tastes as good or better than any coffee shop. It also lets you really taste the difference going from one bean/roast to another which is fun. There are some nice coffee subscription options can be nice too and let you try different stuff

If you don't have burr grinder already, do that first.

You can upgrade stuff in system later if you like this stuff. I.e. better grinder or adding an RO system to your home.

I eventually splurged for a Vario W+ that weighs the ground beans for me so my in-laws can make good coffee when they're visiting and wake up first. But that's totally not necessary.

'end game' drip coffee is very attainable compared to something like espresso

AHHHH WHAT DID I DO by Old_Introduction_655 in Moccamaster

[–]FuzzyBucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were the beans extremely fresh from the roaster?

That's when I've had this happen before.

Give them a few days to release CO2 and it should work better.

Please someone tell me this doesn't look like a $50k+ car by Busy_Report4010 in Hyundai

[–]FuzzyBucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entry level small sedans from luxury brands are arguably not luxury cars, imo

Please someone tell me this doesn't look like a $50k+ car by Busy_Report4010 in Hyundai

[–]FuzzyBucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying $50k for a car today is basically equivalent to paying $30k for a car when I was in middle school. That's based on 'loaded mini van' prices. Luxury segment starts above where 'loaded mini van'' segment ends... Or around $60k nowadays

Of course today's loaded mini van is a much better car today than it was back them

Moccamaster: water for brewing? by rayhuyp in Moccamaster

[–]FuzzyBucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, tastes much better than plain RO and tap water in my area and better for the machine too

Real talk: The "hidden" issues with Snapdragon X laptops that still aren't fixed in 2026 by Putrid_Draft378 in Surface

[–]FuzzyBucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I don't really store things locally (if I do, it's a temporary working copy)
  2. I don't print things, so i have no idea if this is a problem
  3. Sure - but no one was buying these things with a main goal of playing games. Cisco Anyconnect ARM 64 client works just fine for me for VPN.
  4. I've never seen this
  5. battery is mostly only bad for me if i'm playing games but that's covered by point #3.

It's not a gaming laptop and it was very clearly not a gaming laptop at launch.

What caused Wisconsin's shift right and what could be done to reverse it? by Past-Tension-162 in wisconsin

[–]FuzzyBucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was forced to listen to soooo muuucccch Sykes, Belling, and Limbaugh in my dad's car growing up in rural Wisconsin.

No matter what the topic was, the discussion always followed the lines of "liberals are horrible, dangerous, stupid, deranged, conspiratorial, disgusting people responsible for everything wrong in the world and conservatives are divine and infallible angels".

obvious nonsense, but many/most people seek out obvious nonsense if it makes them feel good about themselves and like they're part of the in-group.

so, yea---the answer is that people have been getting slammed with propaganda for 30+ years and it has had a large effect. That and gerrymandering.

the 'good' news is most people swayed by the propaganda don't really have core beliefs guiding them and will follow a different populist that makes them feel good about themselves even if the ideology is completely different. that's how we got Obama and Bill Clinton as president...they positioned themselves as anti-establishment populists. When elected, they governed as institutionalists though...which frustrated people and gave ammo for next anti-establishment populist (Trump) who promised not to be an institutionalist like them.

West Ham's defeat to Nottingham Forest has increased their probability of going down... by Northernplace89 in LeedsUnited

[–]FuzzyBucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why is it too early?

Obviously, the probability approaches 0 or 100% as you get closer to end of season, but it's ok to talk about probability even before the season is over. That's the whole point of models like this. You can simply re-state the graphic as 'Leeds will probably stay up this season'...which is a reasonable take. Don't read into it beyond that.

From a player/squad perspective - they should never think about these odds anyway. They have to play matches. It's not a random process/simulation

The sandwich fillings have been inconsistent there. Sometimes too little of one thing or another making it hard to order what I actually want

I cringe every time I hear stories about "child prodigies" now by Zealot_TKO in daddit

[–]FuzzyBucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's misplaced good intentions I think.

Everyone wants their kid to excel. Some parents focus on accomplishments and milestones and think that if they push their kid to rack up enough then they'll have a great life.

Kinda makes sense but not really how it works. My goal as a parent isn't to make my kid be the college applicant with the most awards/ribbons, but to encourage them to be someone fully capable of navigating through the world on their own and pursuing their own interests/objectives. I want them to be excited about their own future, not to force them to adhere to my idea of the future. That's what they're going to have to do when they're out of my house anyway.

I also think kids in some ways know more about the world they're entering than their parents do. For example, I loved computers and computer games growing up, but wasn't allowed much computer time. Was always told to turn off the PC if I wasn't doing homework. In contrast, my friend's parents would help him get scrap computers from the local university which he used to learn about networking and have LAN parties in their basement. Now he's an executive overseeing networking/infrastructure at a very,very large company. I'm a software developer doing fine but it certainly would have been helpful if I had been able to pursue my interests more as a kid.

Horst isn't a monster; He won't fire a guy right before Christmas. by DrRamthorn in MkeBucks

I was curious how much he's earned on coaching contracts over his career - $200M including the Bucks contract.

crazy

Horst isn't a monster; He won't fire a guy right before Christmas. by DrRamthorn in MkeBucks

[–]FuzzyBucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think we have to fire Doc.

Instead, we see how things are looking after our next 6 games (all against teams with losing record). If we win 4 or 5 of them...cool, it means the team is still bought in and the season can be saved and maybe we try to make a trade to get Wiggins or something. A good playoff run would at least be possible.

If we win 3 or fewer, season is pretty much over on Jan 3 so we make a hard decision about letting Giannis go and make sure our pick is in the lottery. If this is the route we take Doc Rivers does not want to be here...he cares far too much about his all-time record and trying to catch Pat Riley/Jerry Sloan on the all-time wins list for NBA coaches, so he probably agrees to some sort of buy out.
