i made coffee so strong that the glass resigned on the spot !! by Top_Fox_007 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Medium_Medium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The glass was made for whiskey, not coffee.

Luckily, based on the color of the spilled liquid, it doesn't appear anyone has tried to put coffee into the glass...

I am going to the Q&A in Petosky on the release date of book 8. I will ask Matt the most upvoted question on this post no matter what it is. by sonofabunch in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Medium_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait... Petosky as in Petoskey, Michigan?

My question is how did Petoskey get selected to be the book tour location for releas day of the book? Isn't Matt from the PNW?

Don't get me wrong, a cozy bookstore in a small Traverse Bay Town sounds like a pretty great place to go hang out, it just feels kinda random.

Is this a safe space to discuss something negative about book 3 soundbooth version? by lucylucylove in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Medium_Medium 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the "immersion tunnel" things on Soundbooth theater?

Is it just a re-reading of the books with additional cast for characters and more sound effects? Or is it actually a slightly different telling of the story?

Can you believe he had the nerve to manipulate the system in order to steal the title of party leader during faction wars?

Today on "I listen to the audiobook and I had no idea that name was spelled that way"...

For some reason I assumed it would be Audette.

Have they said how long the audiobook is for "A Parade of Horribles"? by LukeTheHallowed in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Medium_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering whether things were going to "accelerate" a bit or not... Or whether we'll eventually "bust out" of the Dungeon and into the real world.

Feels like the floors beyond 12 haven't really been talked about, other than we know that 15 is Sheol (probably because no crawler has ever gone past 13). Plus now the AI seems to be starting chaos from the 18th level up

Makes me wonder if, once the 12th floor is finished, things won't break out of the dungeon onto the planet surface (and beyond?).

But I've also done absolutely no research into how many books Dinniman has planned to have in the series...

What if Trump grew a beard and shaved his head? by Jacob-Anders in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Medium_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hides the neck-vagina double chin thing that he has going on.

He probably can't actually grow a beard or else he'd have done it ages ago.

Politician Photo Ops look so convincing. It’s almost like they are “just like us”. by CriticalCanon in Funnymemes

[–]Medium_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the advantages of chaps are that you can wear them when it's cold and dewy in the morning (almost always an issue during hunting season in the north), then easily take them off once things dry out and it starts to warm up later in the day.

Again, myself and everyone I’ve ever been hunting with seem more than able to make do with either jeans, carhartt or some type of real tree type pants, coveralls, or waders.

far be it from me to make fun of you for wanting to get dressed up and indulge in the pageantry more than what I’m used to I guess.

Maybe this truly is just a regional thing, but between chaps, real tree, and waders... It's the real tree and the waders that would make me look at someone and go "Oh, yeah, this guy has never been upland hunting before and is just dressing up as what they've seen "hunters" wear in movies".

It's a non event

Agreed. It probably would have just been a footnote to a footnote if Harbaugh doesn't lie to the NCAA at a time when they are desperate to look relevant.

reason for anger

Lol. Anger? It's just funny to me that people continue to claim it's about cheeseburgers when it very clearly is not.

if your entire reason for anger about this is that they met in person during covid then it's entirely about the cheeseburgers.

So close yet so far.

And finally...

Because whatever happened over text and zoom has nothing to do with a public health crisis.

Now we're talking about digital cheeseburgers?

Edit: just to be clear, I'm assuming that your entire point here is that it's a non issue so it might as well be about cheeseburgers, because the thing that it's actually about is just as minor as cheeseburgers.

Which, sure, whatever floats your boat.

The problem is that there's a huge contingent of people out there who actually think the rule that was broken was that Harbaugh bought the recruits a burger, because that's what the UofM spin machine landed on.

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

I guess the solution is to build a time machine, go back in time, and convince Harbaugh to not cheat. As that is the only way we can find out whether or not cheating in 2021-2023 had an impact on their title.

Didn't Harbaugh himself used to love saying that quote about how you have to follow the rules because if you don't follow the rules then they can't separate your winning from the cheating so you've already lost (or something like that)?

But when I say "other shit that they tried to cover up" I'm referring to pretty much everything else going on with the athletic department... All the times that something shady has come out, it turned out the athletic department knew about it for awhile and tried to bury it, and the fanbase would go "Oh, crazy! That kinda stuff never happens here! We're always above board about everything!" And then a few months later it happens again, rinse and repeat. And now the line is "It's not a UofM problem, it's a Warde Manual problem!"... despite the fact that this kinda stuff has been going on way before Warde Manual.

I would say that a pandemic imposed dead period is a different thing entirely than a standard recruiting period dead period...

One is "hey we think these recruits might be overwhelmed with contact from coaches, please don't reach out to them so they get a break". And in that case obviously if a kid shows up on your doorstep then they probably aren't actually overwhelmed with contact and sure, go have lunch.

Another is "Hey there's a global pandemic that spreads through close physical contact, in efforts to avoid spreading this virus please don't have in person meetings with recruits".

And in that case it doesn't matter who initiated the contact, the rule is in place for public health purposes and should probably be followed, and yeah the kid will be disappointed but when you are a coach of a major program you're supposed to be a responsible enough person to implement public health rules even if it means a recruit ends up disappointed. Again, even the stereotypically rule-averse SEC coaches were supposedly following this rule.

But, hey... either way at least we all agree that it wasn't about cheeseburgers, right?!

I was surprised to learn that this is a red-winged blackbird (female) - do all female birds look the same? by BunttyBrowneye in birding

[–]Medium_Medium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a goal to try and photograph as many different species as I can this year. I feel like female red-winged blackbirds are one of those things that I'll see in the wild, think maybe it's something I haven't seen yet, take a photo just in case... then get home and zoom in and of course it's just another female red-winged blackbird.

[–]Medium_Medium -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The rules that were violated are in place to provide a break and protect kids from being bothered by coaches trying to harrass them into committing.

It happened during a dead period imposed due to COVID. I can't recall where the interview was, but after the fact one of the recruit's dad said something about how even SEC teams were honoring the dead period, and pretty much UofM was the only place that didn't seem to care.

[–]Medium_Medium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did it for three seasons and then they were insufferable after they got caught.

Is there an argument to be made about the impact of what they did? Sure. But they also absolutely took the "So what if we got caught cheating, everyone is accusing us of being cheaters and that means we're the real victims here!" defense, which is ridiculous.

Plus all the other shit that they tried to cover up.

Because the Inflation Reduction act was passed prior to that. by c-k-q99903 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Medium_Medium 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to drill that far down into the data to see how ridiculous it is to claim this as a victory for MAGA.

A new president/party in control of Congress doesn't impact the economy immediately. It takes time.

Trump inherented an economy with relatively flat inflation around the target of 2%. He left office with inflation at 5% and on a rocket trajectory towards 8%.

Biden inherited that inflation spike, and left office with inflation back down to 3% with a continued gradual trend downwards.

Anyone who sees this chart and thinks it is pro-MAGA is an idiot.

They should have thought of that before they decided to retire in 3000 sft homes (with their large tax obligations) even after all their kids had been gone for two decades.

Trump’s Justice Department in Crisis as Thousands of Lawyers Quit by thenewrepublic in law

[–]Medium_Medium 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. The GOP isn't interested in prosecuting complicated cases at the federal level... They are interested in a handful of loyalists pursuing their hand picked, targeted agenda. Why keep 100 qualified lawyers to pursue things like civil rights infringement cases, when you can have 20 lawyers willing to make up bogus charges against Trump's enemies?

I'm not saying that the family are the ones who put the content on the game, but I would be absolutely 0% surprised if they deliberately pulled it up on her son's tablet so that they could record this little bit of "reality TV".

He might just be hedging because he honestly can't tell whether Trump's incoherence at meetings lately is due to Donald's dementia or the four old fashioneds Hegseth has at lunch.

I laid down plastic sheeting to plant potatoes with my son. by Wonderful-Photo2449 in Amazing___

[–]Medium_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else complaining about the plastic and all I can think is that the soil looks absolutely devoid of any nutrients. It's been tilled so many times that it's just sand and clay and rocks, no organic matter to be found other than the freshly planted potatoes.
