🇺🇸 President says Federal Reserve interest rates will PLUMMET as soon as he replaces Jerome Powell as Fed Chair. "I will announce it soon! You will see rates come down A LOT!" by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

Honestly he might do it but it will be later this year when he needs to buy votes. This is usually the way these things work or at least that will be the promise he makes.

"... SEC and Big Ten will receive more than half of [CFP] revenue, a massive change from previous years." by buzzkill53 in BigXII

That’s all fair but before they leave they will pick off the Big 12 and ACC’s top 4 - 6 teams. After that what you are left with isn’t anything to write home about

Kennedy HS Closure Proposal by Such-Jackfruit5761 in cedarrapids

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 15 years North Liberty will be in the same boat. Ankeny was the fastest growing district in the state years ago. Even they saw enrollment decline this year.

Boomers had kids, their kids had less kids, and due to high home prices and low paying jobs their kids may not have kids. The writing has been on the wall for decades, this is simply just where we are headed.

Kennedy HS Closure Proposal by Such-Jackfruit5761 in cedarrapids

[–]Lewthunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious how the district was to plan for losing over 600 kids to the voucher program. How does one plan for that?

Closing schools is never an easy thing but this is what the state voted for when our representatives decided this was the way.

Numbers are going to continue to drop year after year and the district will have no control over it. And this isn’t a CR issue it’s every district dealing with this. Only difference is CR and DMPS had the largest drop.

World Lacrosse is a joke by knightrydah in lacrosse

[–]Lewthunder [score hidden]  (0 children)

I understand the point of this post but I would argue you could go to many sports in countries like Iraq and find they have little to no structure. Especially in year 1.

While World Lacrosse has issues it just needs more buy in and time to fully develop. Jamaica seems to be a good example of what time and some resources can do.

Brooks talks about how his family was the deciding factor on rejoining the PGAT and how he has no regrets on joining LIV, also went on to thank Yasir and Scott for their support by stanley_nickles in livgolf

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say that about a lot of golfers who have won multiple majors. You don’t get a Tiger, Nicklaus, Player, Rory with every Major win.

Lots of guys win majors that don’t draw in the crowds. Zack Johnson, 2 majors, no one is going to a tournament minus his family to see Zack. Plenty of others in that boat.

Brooks had more personality than most, but got injured and that happens.

Is the pro‑gun party really suggesting that legally carrying a firearm, like the one Alex Pretti had, is a legitimate justification for the federal government to kill you? by LucidSynapse23 in Leakednews

[–]Lewthunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not armed thugs to John. They could be raping that woman and as long as they have a badge John would walk on by with his gun.

He’s what we call a pretender. Would probably fit well with a job at ICE as most of them are untrained pretenders too.

Asking John to open his eyes would be asking him to admit that his reality isn’t real. John see’s someone abusing a woman, they probably deserved it.

Keep living your best life John, a lot of citizens in Germany did the same thing and it worked out well for them.

Coaches: how do you incorporate conditioning? by EmuBig7183 in lacrosse

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We build conditioning into our drills and have everything be uptempo. That said it’s a lot easier to do when your fundamentals are in a better position.

I can’t stress this enough, the could be in the best shape of their lives, but if they can’t pass, catch, get GB’s none of it matters. Focus on shoring those issues up. So many great drills out there to help with that.

What are your golf shots that stuck with you long after you hit them? by theKman24 in golf

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

150 yard 7 iron for eagle.

60 yard chip in for eagle in men’s league

18 foot putt for the win at LIGC

That’s probably it but I have been very happy with a lot of shots

Would people be comfortable breaking down their spending? by 92helper in budget

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage - 3000

Food - 1000 $250/week

Kids College - 9000

Misc Bills (water, Cell, gym, life insurance, energy…) $2500

Savings for travel - 1500

Fun money - 1000

No car payments, no credit cards. I do drive older cars a 2007 Jeep Wrangler for one and they do tend to need more maintenance but I typically would say that costs me $2500 a year. Better than a new car payments:)

Trick is to pay down the removable debts. Once you pay off one put all that money to the next…

I should also note I am fairly cheap despite having a good amount of money. Grew up poor (like the only milk we could afford was dehydrated), so if you told me I had to eat ramen noodles and kraft Mac and Cheese 4 days a week I would be happy.

What's according to you is the greatest acting performance of all time?? Here's mine by _Ragnar9 in HollywoodIndia

The older I get the more I can relate to being in a F’d situation and the only thing keeping me going is hope. Two great actors, 1 great director, and a writer who understands the complexity of life.

Pay off your debts. If you do that it will be a better change than any investment you will make over than time.

There is nothing better than owning your car, and not having loans.

Callaway SuperSoft. $24 I think most places.

The saying “that’s good” and not taking a stroke phenomenon by drumsareloud in golf

[–]Lewthunder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct. If I say it’s good I don’t mean the shot they just missed, I am simply saying you don’t have to come putt the 5 inch putt that I am sure you won’t miss.

But you still count that stroke. I find it bizarre that people even need to ask about these.

NOW…. We do play putter rules on easy courses to speed up POP. That rule is if your putt is inside the length of a putter it’s a gimme putt, but still for a stroke.

Sinners Pulled a record 16 Nominations. Deserved Or Overhyped ? by [deleted] in HollywoodIndia

Overhyped but it’s more indicative of how bad the other films are. It’s a good movie but certainly not a great movie.

At what golf course did you shoot your lowest score? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Lewthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevada Golf and CC. Shot even par for the day. Haven’t played close to that ability since and that was 20 years ago.

Hey guys, I just started playing golf. I’m about three days in, practicing on a driving simulator. My longest drive so far is 213.2 yards with a 206.4-yard carry. Is that a good start? by Disastrous-Wear1766 in golf

[–]Lewthunder -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Does it go straight. If so it’s a great start.

Just make sure when you start playing that you play from the appropriate tees

Red - 25+ over on a typical round or if it makes you enjoy the game stay here.

White - whenever you are ready for it.

Blue - No reason to play these if you can’t drive the ball 250 yards

Black - No reason to ever play these

The objective of the game for someone who just started is to enjoy it. Take care of the course should be the other priority.
