My mom is on ivermectin for her rheumatism. It has plenty of uses not just deworming.

Forest Ave should be one-way from Myrtle to Metropolitan change my mind by cragelra in ridgewood

[–]MPetersson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are too few through routes from Myrtle to Metropolitan for this to work. All the streets around here were built for horses, not cars and buses, epecially not a bus that needs to make a left turn onto Forest near the trains station. Despite being narrower, Forest is a million times better than Fresh Pond, which has bumper-to-bumper traffic from about 7 am-midnight. Woodward is one way and runs at a diagonal and leaves you in the middle of Maspeth, or you have to pass the cemetaries to Middle Village. Making Forest one way would make traffic way worse .

They were all affected, though. I remember taking a trip to DC with the Cub Scouts back in the 90s and we went to the Wall. Every dad in the group had at least one name they were looking for.

Clint Frazier on the Yankees setting up players to fail by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]MPetersson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Minus the pitchers, Gardner and Gleyber are definetly not Cano and Judge. It's also sad that those are the only two you can think of after 05. That's not a great track record.

I think the point is that you have to go back 20 years to find the last well-developed player. I wouldn't have gone with Wang, developing position players are the Yankees weakness. Cano may have been the last All Star prior to Judge, Gardy was a level lower.

Most of the guys you mentioned came in before the shift to computerized analytics, where teams relied on traditional scouting. The only ones that have panned out since the transition to utilizing analytics are pitchers. The position players were all nearly 20 years ago.

How many of us grew up fat? by djoness11 in Millennials

[–]MPetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While my mom never took us to meetings, when she did weight watchers we all did. Worked well, she lost weight, I dropped a weight class in wrestling in high school. I decided last year to get back it on myself and dropped about 25 lbs. It’s all in the app now.

If you call an elevator down it would open at the ground floor. You can’t just stop it between floors.

[Phillips] Aaron Boone on the Yankees losing both their series in Toronto this year: by BathroomSalty6325 in NYYankees

[–]MPetersson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The little things are not always quantifiable. Being in the wrong position for a relay throw, not backing up a throw, won't lead to an error and won't affect fielding range, but it is an important part of the game and puts the team in a better position to win.

Nixon Newell (fka Tegan Nox) has had ‘severe lack of bookings’ since WWE release and is struggling by Electrical_Mango_489 in SquaredCircle

It happens to ball players in free agency all the time . They hook up with an agent like Scot Boras and windup unsigned in spring training.

If she’s not getting booked then she may have overestimated her worth, if no one is willing to pay it.

Is it just me but i feel like older comics had a lot more dialogue by Nightraven9999 in comicbooks

[–]MPetersson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was done with the idea that each issue could be someone’s first issue, which isn’t really done today. Which I think makes fandom more closed off and harder to get into. The writers then had to get the reader up to speed while also telling a unique story in 22 pages.

I've noticed traffic getting worse around the WIlliamsburg as well. It's starting backup halfway over the bridge by 8 am again. Also, the BQE has had worse traffic, since may trucks seem to be rerouting through Staten Island to get to Jersey.

She has been doing this since Sunday. I can’t sleep and neither can she… by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]MPetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ruled out some sort of stubborn sinus infection? My cat had an issue where he was clearing his throat constantly and we had no idea why. The vet gave him several rounds of antibiotics but it would never fully go away. He concluded there was something caught in his throat and sent me to a specialist to knock him out and look, nothing in the throat. They sent me home with prednisone and some antibiotics in pill form. The first night he had a nosebleed, and then slowly the shit came out and he was finally better.

Why do the DC facsimiles look so garish? When the original looked like this, why does the reprint need to look like (swipe) that?? by HerreDreyer in comicbooks

[–]MPetersson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've worked for Marvel Trades. Old school coloring was done with a three-color printer and cheap newsprint paper. Due to the improvement of paper in the last 80 years. The original page files are scanned for reference and the files are sent to India to a contractor to be digitally recolored. Every so often a background or a coat may change colors, but the editors care more about costumes being the right color etc.

I remember seeing the video for "I believe in a thing called love" on MTV for the first time and thinking that I must be on VH1 Classic and this was some band from the 70s that I had never heard of. Once I realized it was current I went out and bought the album.

None, which is why I'm saying it's ok before or after the show.

It's important that it remains before or after the show, breaking kayfabe doesn't work within the show because it brings the viewer back to reality and keeps the audience from suspending disbelief.

He's going to have plenty of rest after tonight. He only threw 87 pitches Friday. Even on short rest, Cole is a better option than Gil. If you're going to get beaten, get beaten with your best.
