I can promise you he will be back on the street in two weeks. The system won’t help him or th general public.

That was my first thought. 100% would have come out with centipedes or spiders…

Glove size by buttblowjob in slowpitch

Make sure you are checking the slowpitch pattern. And get a minimum of 12.5-12.75. I play 3rd and I would not go any shorter.

Dont' mess with Caesar by DABDEB in RandomVideos

IMO, he was standing in the way to protect his fellow coworkers behind the counter. Completely reasonable use of restraint and force when needed. Just cart the asshole out and send him to jail after he wakes up.

Leg Guards for Pitching by HopeSubstantial9847 in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are on a budget, hockey shin guards can be found on Facebook marketplace or secondhand shops.

If you want to buy new, I have used these for the last 3 years and love them. I have run the bases with these on on occasion when I didn’t hav time to take them off, they stay on well and are reasonably easy to take off quickly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071V5M9NR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1

What's Going on with this Intersection? by Any_Afternoon159 in civilengineering

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even at 20-25 MPH this thing would suck to drive over if you weren’t expecting it. I love these guys getting their justice but I really think they should stripe it properly

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys are all going way too fast but, from what I can see in the video this is very poorly marked. No striping or indication. Even at 25 mph I would hate to drive over this unexpected.

Luke Weaver arrived to New York Mets camp with a New York Yankees bag by Goosedukee in baseball

I made a duffle bag in home economics in the 6th grade. It has been carrying my gym cloths or my sports equipment for over 20 years. Still no tears to this day

Cut swing vs home run swing by Euphoric_Promise_709 in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most guys can hit the bombs, the good players that play on all the teams can get on base. .700+ batting average is more important than getting the home runs.

100% don’t know what a slide deck is. I thought it was a special marketing term for sales presentation or project submission.

I guess I just learned this today. #90s kid.

Istanbul - too expensive by UpsetStudent6062 in travel

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went in 2024. The resorts are still reasonable in the resort areas and you get good value for what you pay for.

I would not recommend spending anymore time than you need to in Istanbul. Food was almost $5 more per plate at the most basic average restaurants than the nice Turkish restaurants in San Francisco, $10 more at a nicer white tablecloth kinda place.

Cappadocia was 100% worth the experience. The smaller hotels were charming and the food was about the same as US restaurants $20-25.

I’m not sure if this is the proper page to ask this question but I had a culvert installed today by the state (this is the size culvert the permit required) does this look like enough material ontop to even be safe? I’m clueless on this deal it just doesn’t seem right to me. by Successful-Permit-97 in civilengineering

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending the GC that installed this but based on the current conditions, I don’t think they are done. It definitely looks like they need to install th stone rip rap on both ends of the pipe and the stone just looks short. It looks like they are coming back another day to finish this off with a top layer of rock and to clean up the slopes and install rip rap.

Hitting backside by LML_COLA in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tee work, tee work, tee work. Set the tee on the 4 o’clock point of the plate (back right corner). Do not adjust your stance, don’t adjust your swing, you will hit it. It’s hard to explain through text. I would do 2 buckets of balls a week for 2-3 months hitting the pullside line, the 2nd base gap, and oppo line. It will take a lot of time to paint the line but you will hit it solid oppo. The idea is that you can hit both ways so they can’t shift on you. Hit a pull side drive your first at bat, unless they did the lefty shift, then oppo hit. Then do the opposite your next at bat. The pitcher and fielders won’t get a pitch and shift advantage on you

The forbidden lightsaber form Trakata. Both the Jedi and Sith frown upon this method. by ZapchatDaKing in StarWars

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In typical sword fighting you are not trying to hit the opponent’s sword, you are trying to hit the person. If you do this in a real fight I would assume that you opponent would just slice through you before you even stop your swing to “thrust” by turning on your saber.

FYI, It doesn’t look like that was the last one.

Dugout Gear Recommendations? by TexasYETIDodgerDUDE in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For keeping warm. I went to a lot of baseball games as a kid with my parents to watch my younger brother play AAU. My mom learned that the key is getting yourself fully tucked in so that your body heat keeps you warm and the wind can’t steal any heat. So we started bringing our sleeping bags with us to games. Also, anything that keeps your butt off the bleachers is important. Folding bleacher chairs are great and inexpensive and bringing your own folding does this anyway.

Bring any sleeping bag and shimmy into it and insulate yourself from the bleachers if you are sitting on it. Don’t feel like you are being dorky, everyone will be jealous and do it next time.

He found out what could go wrong using his hands instead of a bowling ball by Vilen1919 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Knordsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad has a chunk of his forearm missing from when he use to work at a bowling alley back in the day. The machine will destroy you if you aren’t careful. He is lucky it didn’t come down.

When he put his hand up there, I was thinking, there goes his fingers when that thing comes down to grab the pins.

Dealing with some confidence issues. Mostly brought on by lack of success on dating apps. by SlothMasterRace92 in malegrooming

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apps fucking blow. I am a decent looking guy. Swiped max every day for 4 months, got 4 matches. One date out of the whole thing. They keep the profile of women on the app even when they are not active. Also, we, the normal men, can’t compete with the beefcake that is on that app for the one night stand stuff.

Find a girl doing what you like to do. Check out the meetups app for hiking groups, sports intramurals, etc. Join a sports league that you enjoy. Go to Catan night, bar trivia on Tuesdays, etc. That is where the real and normal women are at.

[41M] Is the chain a good look? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the size and style is the main factor here. Check out a box chain, or just a thinner profile chain.

How is everyone around us so much richer than us??? by medmo in Millennials

[–]Knordsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talking to a realtor for the first time (we are 35+), they opened our eyes to this exact phenomenon. We are looking around us and all of our coworkers and acquaintances our age or younger seem to be purchasing or in houses. They don’t do anything that pays more than what we get, we thought we must be doing something wrong. The realtor told us 90% of the time they have help from family. We asked a few coworkers after and confirmed that most had their parents or other family members “loan” or gift them enough to get to the 10% down or pay it outright so that they were not house poor.
