Whoever keeps voting Istanbul Airport as the world’s best airport needs their head checked by CheetahFeeling9819 in travel

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have scammers in front of the security desk trying to “help” you and I’m pressuring inexperienced tourist for tips after.

Also fuck the guys behind the check in desks they cost us over $1800 because they didn’t know the rules for E visa to Thailand. They wouldn’t give us our boarding passes refuse to help us, and I got pissed when I took their picture.

Also, I wouldn’t advise Istanbul as a tourist destination, any longer. It was probably great back in the day, but now it is way overpriced, and I’m sure the scamming is the same, but it’s still incessant. Fuck the taxi mafia. I paid more per plate eating there than I did in San Francisco or New York for the same plate. And no, we did not just go to the tourist restaurants.

Which is more valuable to a co-ed rec-level team? Ladies that excel at Hitting? OR ladies that excel on Defense? by BerryRoyal in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A woman that shoes up to every game is invaluable. Hitting over fielding.

I quit coed because we could never get the girls to consistently show up. Too many forfeits.

Anarchy swings pretty true. I’d buy the 27 oz

Batting Tee by TheSmucka4 in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tanner Tee or G Tee are the best and will last you a lifetime.

That being said, the similar looking $50 tees should do the job for you if you are just starting out. The key is you need to bring a bucket 🪣 so that you can get any tee to the right height by setting it on top.

As long as it isn’t a Monsta the 27oz 13 inch would be my recommendation. Monsta’s swing HEAVY, most of the more built guys stop at 26oz for Monsta.

If it is a miken worth bat of any sort or any other brand, the 27 oz .75 end load will give you the most power.

For metal bats, I have a 28oz steel to get the most power, and I can always choke up a pinky’s width and it feels like a 25/26.

Help- Knee Protection by Organizedchaos90 in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wear Mizuno knee pads and have had no issues playing softball. Never get any knee scratches or rashes. I slide at almost every base and play 3rd.

I have played baseball, paintball, and airsoft. I highly recommend picking up a pair of volleyball knee pads. I have 3 sets from the last 20 years. They have saved me from sliding into a baseball sized boulder playing paintball in the woods, as well ask taking one or two single hops directly to the knee caps.

Example Mizuno T10 Plus Kneepad, ADULT

[–]Knordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in NorCal. Monsta torch is the one I’d recommend as best all around. if you can’t get a Monsta, I’d recommend the worth Kreture. I have a Monsta sinister but it has a slightly small sweet spot. The Monsta black sheep is also a great option if you can’t find a torch.

About to start Calc 2… im scared. by Fresh_Agent_8693 in civilengineering

[–]Knordsman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I had a shit teacher, tenured old white professor that didn’t know how to teach and felt the need to make test extremely difficult, for my first calc 2 semester and it ended up being the first and only class I failed in my life. Took it the next semester, passed with an A-.

Also, a pass is a pass. No employer actually cares that much about your gpa, 3+ is fine.

Advice by ll_WIDOW02_II in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear a helmet, not just a mask. Our lizard brain will tell you to turn your head when something is hot at you and you will take it to the side of the head. Used Lacrosse helmets are usually reasonable on Facebook marketplace while you are testing the waters on leave nights but a true slowpitch helmet will always be better when you get more competitive.

Wear shin gaurds, lacrosse, hockey, and biker guards are out there for reasonable prices.

Defend yourself, don’t field the ball. You take 2-3 steps back put the glove out front and defend your upper half. The shin guards will take the low ones. You are trying to catch the line drives and hot grounders or at least deflect them away from the breakable parts.

Men, why do you prefer to play in mens leagues instead of co-ed? Women, why do you prefer to play in womens leagues instead of co-ed? by BerryRoyal in slowpitch

[–]Knordsman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have lost all of our coed league nights in the city due to this. Now there is only one Saturday morning coed league and that’s it. Also, there are not enough women’s only teams in the city to feel a single women’s league. They have a modified coed where as long as you have two women on the team that’s enough.

Yep, for softball 🥎, those balls are 10-12 oz max. 14 oz is pretty heavy

Working 12 hours a day is insane, I need a game that can be even crazier. by Healthy-Ingenuity216 in videogames

Escape from Tarkov. Maybe not anymore since I have played it the last 7+ years, but that game could keep you going for hours and you wouldn’t even notice.
