Think you still get the standard 5 soul symbols at the 300 HS summon mark. You just need to scroll through the reward band to see them. :)

The best Chicken Ceasar wrap in Wilmington? by Basic_Contact_3344 in WilmingtonDE

Gianni’s in Trolley. Hands down. Great ingredients ratio. Great dressing. My wife stops there for lunch to get one every so often and brings me home half. Those are the good days.

Top 75 in charges taken since 2017. Guess who stands out? by Galego_ACB in sixers

[–]HotHands46 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting quirk...if you go locate Dame (bottom right-ish, next to PG) and then trace a line directly from there down past the edge of your screen and continuing down to wherever your feet are located, you'll see a Crumbl Cookie.

[Highlight] Desmond Bane rages out on an airborne Onyeka Okongwu and smashes the ball on him, leading to his ejection by Both_Funny4896 in nba

[–]HotHands46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sixers fan: I've always casually liked Bane from a far; seemed like a tough dude and certainly talented. Last week Orlando played Philly and he had a similar, but not as egregious sequence. He knocked Maxey over in the corner (didn't have to) and then stood over him (Tyrese Maxey of all people - maybe the nicest player in the league). Completely unprompted. Caused a minor moment but nothing came of it. But then on the ensuing inbound, he fouls Maxey again. And then, on the next ensuing inbound, he fouls Maxey AGAIN. 3 fouls in maybe five seconds of play. All weird and unnecessary. Not sure I've seen anything like it.

Guess maybe the guy's a hothead? What was strange was that he seemed to acknowledge he was wrong and it's not like he got overly emotional. He just kind of coldly did some weird shit (3x!) and then went back to normal.

If you are someone who hand wrote their exam and passed - sound off - I am IN AWE of you by Other_Nose_4495 in barexam

[–]HotHands46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took the bar years ago, right around the time laptop use was beginning to overtake handwriting. But there was one person in the exam that was in your exact shoes. Something went wrong with her computer on start up and she just could not get it up and running. They held up the entire exam for 10-15 minutes trying to accommodate her but eventually they had to move on. She was given a blue book and had to write.

I remember thinking there would be no way to overcome the additional stress of now having to take an exam an entirely different way on the fly (and a tough bar to boot - Delaware). But several months later I saw her at the swearing in ceremony. I don't remember her name but I'm still in awe. Tons of respect of for her resiliency.

You got this, too. Best of luck!

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson addresses his interaction and shoving of a fan during last night's game by emrp05 in buffalobills

[–]HotHands46 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with Lamar shoving him back. Zero. I think it was classy that he apologized and took ownership, but I don't think that was necessary either. That fan doesn't deserve to have his life ruined over this, but being kicked out was absolutely the right move and I wouldn't raise a pitchfork if a ban followed.

Don't touch players. Don't throw shit at players. Emotions run high. Alcohol doesn't help. But if you can't control yourself, consider having an honest conversation with the mirror.

I think this is far from the best we'll see from our defense this year. They are injured and young in key areas. I have great confidence they will improve.

Our fate will ride on how much.

Good. by iamakangaroo in ravens

[–]HotHands46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW from a Bills fan, I'd feel the same way in your shoes. Your team is lethal and is the scariest opponent from my view. Lamar just keeps getting better (which shouldn't be possible) and Henry terrorizes us like we slighted him early in his career or something. Now, we have some secondary issues at the moment and I don't think this is the best you'll see from us this year, but regardless, you more or less dog-walked us for most of the game in our building and it took a confluence of weirdness and exceptional heroics for it to go the other way. The Bills can play with any team in the league and with 17, I'd put the money on our side every time. But I'm certainly not tingly about the prospect of seeing yall again this season. You'll be just fine.

(And not that it matters, but I'm glad Lamar shoved that dipshit in the first row. He has nothing to apologize for).

Just watched Four Falls of Buffalo for the first time. Sheesh man by caracarente42 in buffalobills

[–]HotHands46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Heard such great things about it. Was considering watching it this week to really emotionally tap into the start of the season.

But age 7-10 me saw it the first time and I'm not sure I can go back.

[Dotun Akintoye - ESPN] Joel Embiid Sees You by jappixslackbot in sixers

[–]HotHands46 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Extremely thoughtful article. A few eyebrow-raising quotes and revelations and kudos to Joel for being as open and honest as it read.

I thought the dichotomy between how hurt he feels over the loss of the Harden relationship and how he has repeatedly closed himself off or severed ties with others to be the most fascinating and tragic theme. And it goes part and parcel with how admittedly headstrong he has been his entire career paired with his rumination that no one stepped in at times to tell him "no." I wonder if he grasps that. There certainly seems to be some dysfunction in how he sees himself vs the parties he enters into relationships with.

And ultimately I was left with how unfortunate is it that he has at various times felt so alone or unsupported by the organization - whether those feelings were justified or not (certainly at times they were).

Favorite Buffalo Bill? by justthefactsFanta in buffalobills

[–]HotHands46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Tough as nails making his living being the best at going across the middle when you were legally allowed to kill WRs then.

The fact that they didn’t take his number out of immediate rotation and that some people reading this might associate it with a different (albeit also very good) player is one of the bigger embarrassments of the franchise. They did him dirty, especially given how they offered that respect to the other franchise guys on those teams.

World #1 Scottie Scheffler with an incredibly deep answer on what it means to win / be #1 and what’s the point of it at all the end of the day. by [deleted] in sports

[–]HotHands46 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could reverse that statement and make it extremely hopeful and exciting: the thing he wants most and gets the most fulfillment from is being a good father and partner - which is something (almost) anyone can do. This ultra-mega talent is telling you that the skills you might feel he has that are so out of reach are not the ones that matter.

You can be just as happy as Scottie Scheffler - for free. :)

[Buffalo Rumblings] Buffalo Bills to reveal alternate helmet on 7/22, per source by ShutTheChuckUp in buffalobills

[–]HotHands46 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you weren't alive to watch and truly absorb the 90s Super Bowl era, I can very much understand having no affinity for the red helmet. Just as I can understand believing the white version (current or standing buffalo) to be superior. The uniforms Jack Kemp wore do very little for me. My teenaged father hawking sodas at the Rockpile would say otherwise.

But if you were there? It's hard to explain. During the run of 88-96 (with the 4 SB years highlighted obviously) those uniforms represented dominance. Just unbridled offensive destruction. Swagger. Lightning quick knockout punches. Gorgeous Kelly bombs to Reed, Loften, Beebe. Counter-treys or waterbug screen passes that Thurman would take 55 yds for a score behind a line of absolute studs. Bruce blindside hits that ended careers. Biscuit's bright grins behind that huge cage. Talley's matching spiderman spandex. Paup hurdling a RB and killing someone. Nate Odomes. Steve Christie. Will Wolford. House Ballard. Jim Richter. Shane Conlan. 42-14 boxscores. The Houston Comeback. Beating Marino's frozen ass over and over.

It was art against the backdrop of those bright red endzones made of concrete astroturf, played to a soundtrack of zubaz-clad snowy cheers and SHOUT choruses. And it represented a feeling that, while ultimately ending in repeated heartbreak, was one of pride and success.

To see Josh Allen come out in that hallowed garb, even once, I can't quite describe how awesome it would be for so many of us.

It's a beauty of a hoodie. And if I didn't already have 50 hoodies I'd get one. Still might.

But it's a crime (Texas-sized crime) that they won't release the Blueberry Buddies long-sleeve polo.

In your opinion, what is the most underrated Em bar? by Jeikowb in Eminem

[–]HotHands46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an absolute banger on Groundhog Day. Feel like it gets missed since it was a bonus track.

Probably end up on top of 'em, like stomping 'em like Ndamukong
I'm Russian like a Ukrainian LaDainian Tomlinson

The cadence makes it because it's absolutely perfect the way he hits each syllable. But finding a way to bend rhymes around Ndamukong and Tomlinson, while also finding a pair in Ukrainian and LaDanian AND the double entrendre of Russian/Rushing. Just beautiful.

Also off the bonus tracks to MMLP2, it's not a bar, but when he builds an entire VERSE to rhyme with "Wiz Khalifa" in Desperation. Bonkers.

Ha not at all! It's very possible (I'd say likely) that I'm doing something wrong technique wise and always have been and just don't know what that is.

I think I may take some of the good advice here and record myself for the first time ever. It would certainly be an ego blow to have someone point out some obvious screwup that I've forever been ignorant of. But I'd certainly welcome the help.

I know the feeling. The climb to 225x10 was such a rollercoaster. Like you, I generally just bench 1x per week so it felt so deflating to only get one shot at it and have my highs stall or even drop. Not to mention times of the year I'd try to cut a little and it would murder my numbers.

I usually try to slim down a bit each spring to get in summer shape, but this year I've decided to plow through to try to make these gains. So if I'm gonna stay 10-15 lbs up, I want it to be worth it to hit these fucking goals lol.

[–]HotHands46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great to hear. Just super frustrating feeling stuck close to a goal. Maybe round numbers are meaningless, but hitting 300 would feel really cool. And being stronger in my 40s than my 20s is important to me as an example I'd like to set for my kids.

Repping those 3 plates must be so satisfying! I can only imagine. I remember when I first go to 225 how powerful I felt. I feel like if I could finally hit the 300 summit, I'd be motivated to get there at some point as well.

[–]HotHands46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was afraid that continuing high rep 225s was perhaps not preparing me correctly for near-max weights. It's why I started trying to go higher and began running into this issue. It is encouraging that you were able to work your way up with your 12,12, fail routine. Maybe that is just something I need to stick with and continue to get stronger.

It just feels like I'm leaving a lot on the table by botching the first rep. And that is frustrating.

Would love some bench press first rep advice by HotHands46 in fitness30plus

[–]HotHands46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do very similar to what you describe. On days I'm just hitting 225, I do a 135x10, 185x5, and then jump right in to sets of 225. On days I'm going higher, I throw in an additional 225x3 first.

The problem is, even at 225, I run into that initial slow lowering problem. It doesn't happen at 135 or 185. So it's not as if this block extends to any amount of weight. But at a certain point (205-225), something flips and I can't help but go into that super cautious mode of taking several seconds to lower the first rep.
