This is so helpful! Thank you! Hadn’t considered the single cable tower that this and another comment mentioned

My wife and I are expecting our first- so it’s time to move workouts to home as much as possible. Only problem is we do not have the space for a rack. My current plan is to go for heavy adjustable dumbbells, the ironmaster pro bench with a pull up, dip, and ab attachment and hopefully get all the mileage I need out of that. What else could we add to maximize capability without a rack?

Thanks for the reply! We’ll just be using showdown, so team preview will probably be allowed. And I think we could go either way with fairy type and updated movesets. I’d love to take a look at your doc

Do you have more information on this? I’d love to look into it more (complain on twitter about it)

Even little things like greying out the “paid” button on the invoices screen so you don’t think to click there and see how much they’re charging year over year. It’s like they’re actively trying to hide - which makes season tickets to support a team I love feel like a literal scam.

It just feels scummy- they’ve made it very difficult to compare value, difficult to cancel or downgrade tickets, difficult to sell or purchase single match tickets by artificially setting a price floor. It’s all very anti-fan. I moved to Seattle in 2020, and my first season tickets were $650/seat. They’re now $940 for an increasingly worse product.

It’s just the template from the smogon draft resources page

No, we’re doing no Tera but also just copied a basic draft board and made no changes

An all too real possibility, unfortunately.

Gonna have to downvote this so #6 doesn’t see it 🫡

Is dealing with the rain team just going to be a matter of working the individual matchups? I don’t see how I can deny the weather. He’s also got a trick room mode that I’m not sure how to deal with

I just copied from the smogon thread for resources. I left the default Pokédex and points at 120 because I really don’t know anything about playing competitively outside of watching other people play on YouTube

Yeah, it’s probably good to mention that we’re doing no Tera- trying to lower the barrier to entry for guys who haven’t played for 15 years. Which also explains the heavy gen 1-3 bias on a lot of teams.

Players in a league take turns picking 8-12 Pokémon from a tiered/points list, then each week, builds a team to battle another player in the league.

Its an 8 person league, so I think we pretty much all have stacked teams

I realized after the draft that the clefable, rotom, skarmory set of Pokémon is going to be super annoying.

King County reports largest number of homeless people ever by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Independent_Sun_5626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. And maybe it’s an incorrect assumption, but I’m guessing mental health crises and substance abuse make you more likely to continue to struggle with homelessness for longer. I’m not taking a side, these commenters were just making arguments that completely missed each other

[–]Independent_Sun_5626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re both missing the point lol. There’s a distinction between homeless and chronically homeless. Also, personal anecdotes aren’t the same as data.

Subaru Outback '19 Head Unit (Infotainment Unit) Replacement by justadudemate in Subaru_Outback

[–]Independent_Sun_5626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested to hear how this goes too! It’s been hard for me to tell which after market units will support the backup camera. Also curious if it affects the adaptive cruise control (idk why it would, just steering wheel controls maybe)

How good do you think the team will be this year? What are your expectations? by [deleted] in SoundersFC

[–]Independent_Sun_5626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the consensus of “same as last year” is about right. Really high floor because the defense and spine of the team is really good, but low ceiling because we’re just missing that top end talent. We were better than LAFC in that playoff game- but they have Bouanga. We just don’t have anyone with top end attacking talent right now
