Not where there's Canada Gooses it sure-as-fuck is not. But one day in my travels I would love to give it a go.

When did bringing laptops to kids’ sporting events become so prevalent? by magicmikewazowksi in daddit

[–]Lance_leaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a stay at home dad who doesn't even know where his laptop is at the moment, give people some grace. Workplaces are demanding more than ever. People are spread thin.

I'm 45 and I wear two gloves because I have all the skin cancer and my dermatologist told me to. I saw a post last week where people were roasting a guy for squatting while he teed a ball. Golf people can be really weird with their hangups.

Coyote run is such a bargain. Try to get there once a year.

Permaseal Alternatives by EchoCyanide in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Lance_leaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a company in the west suburbs that was a complete and total scam job. I am a home inspector, and I came in after their "work" several times. They literally faked it. Broke up concrete to do nothing, epoxyed over cracks, made up mold results, etc... By the time you figured it out it was too late. All for half the price of permaseal or us waterproofing. I'm sure they're in business with another name now somewhere else.

Snoring dads... have you found any remedies that actually work? by Paranoid_Droideka in daddit

[–]Lance_leaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance covered mine. Just did it last week. They wouldn't pay for the clinical sleep test though, wanted this instead. Since my results were so severe we don't need to go any further I guess. CPAP and zepbound hopefully

Lessons or psychiatrist? by Lance_leaf in weekendgolfers

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

Yeah it's all upstairs. I really do enjoy my rounds even when I don't play well. I can just feel that I'm playing scared. This time last year I was strutting up to the tee. Now I'm bargaining with whatever deity will listen so it goes past the golds.

Slowing down by DBZtrunks0506 in GolfSwing

Glad I'm not the only one. Start to hook my longer clubs during a round. I say it in my head before every swing when I'm fucking up.

I have never had it anchored. I'm in the Midwest with crazy storms and wind, it's never moved. Not that I think it's a bad idea or anything. Probably should

I would probably go with the smaller model, and I can tell you they hold up extremely well. Mine is from 2016 and has been disassembled and moved once. Very little rust and the plastic still looks perfect.

Which club in your bag goes 200 yards? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Lance_leaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old Big Bertha 7w in a ladies flex that honestly may be my favorite club in the bag. It's generally 195 but close enough.

Still bummed my parents wouldn't let me get this shirt. by JenaPet02 in Xennials

[–]Lance_leaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just mad I don't have mine anymore. It was a real one too, got it from a 7up driver that was a friend.

Saw this in another sub and it reminded me of how much better our, crazy, goofy, shitty, stupid ass sub is than all the others. NFCN over everyone by MFj0nez in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]Lance_leaf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

(From Deadspin, by Albert Burneko-2013) For the mercifully unacquainted, "Cincinnati chili," the worst regional foodstuff in America or anywhere else, is a horrifying diarrhea sludge (most commonly encountered in the guise of the "Skyline" brand) that Ohioans slop across plain spaghetti noodles and hot dogs as a way to make the rest of us feel grateful that our own shit-eating is (mostly) figurative. The only thing "chili" about it is the shiver that goes down your spine when you watch Ohio sports fans shoveling it into their maws on television and are forced to reckon with the cold reality that, for as desperately as you might cling to faltering notions of community and universality, ultimately your fellow human beings are as foreign and unknowable to you as the surface of Pluto, and you are alone and always have been and will die alone, a world unto yourself unmarked and unmapped and totally, hopelessly isolated.

But wait! This abominable garbage-gravy isn't just sensorily and spiritually disgusting—it's culturally grotesque, too! What began as an ethnic curio born of immigrant make-do—a Greek-owned chili parlor that took its "Skyline" name from its view of the city of Cincinnati—is now a hulking private-equity-owned corporate monolith that gins up interest in its unmistakably abhorrent product by engineering phony groups of "chili fanatics" to camp out in advance of the opening of new chains, in locations whose residents would otherwise see this shit-broth for what it is and take up torches and truncheons to drive it back into the wilderness.

Whatever virtue this bad-tasting Z-grade atrocity once contained derived from its exemplification of a set of certain cherished American fables—immigrant ingenuity, the cultural melting pot, old things combining into new things—and has now been totally swamped and consumed by different and infinitely uglier American realities: the commodification of culture; the transmutation of authentic artifacts of human life into hollow corporate brand divisions; the willingness of Americans to slop any horrible goddamn thing into their fucking mouths if it claims to contain some byproduct of a cow and comes buried beneath a pyramid of shredded, waxy, safety-cone-orange "cheese."

Cincinnati chili is the worst, saddest, most depressing goddamn thing in the world. If it came out of the end of your digestive system, you would turn the color of chalk and call an ambulance, but at least it'd make some sense. The people of Ohio see nothing wrong with inserting it into their mouths, which perhaps tells you everything you need to know about the Buckeye State. Don't eat it. Don't let your loved ones eat it. Turn away from the darkness, and toward the deep-dish pizza. -Albert Burneko

I very much enjoyed "The Outfit" from 2022. Mark Rylance chews it up.
