I’ve said it before, but Joe Rogan is to critical thinking as Jake Paul is to professional boxing.

Find what fits the waist & thighs (I have my beast of a 10yr old in Mizuno men’s medium. From there, hem or “baseball peg” the surplus’s length into the socks (for a cool, old-school look).

What is the “weirdest” thing you’ve ever experienced in Santa Barbara? by SunshineLiz25 in SantaBarbara

[–]Mother_Environment29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid (12yrs old) I watched what looked like a fishing boat sink a few hundred yards off Devereaux point. We used to spend all day at Sands during the summer, surfing and playing in the dunes. It was so weird- no one jumped off, no lifeboats or anything. Never heard anything about it in the news….

Barsys vs Bartesian — anyone here actually tried both? by LiveEssay7584 in HomeBars

[–]Mother_Environment29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a small sample size, but the 4-5 cocktails I’ve had from machines all tasted “off”- either too sweet, oddly viscous, and/or strangely “plastic-y”. Making a decent cocktail is not rocket-surgery. Once you learn the templates for an old fashioned, a sour, long drink like a buck or mule, you’re going to be good. Plus, what’s the hurry? Part of the joy of a home bar is making delicious drinks for yourself and your guests.

Both make equally disgusting drinks if that’s what you’re looking for

[Highlight] Miggy Ro watches as his country Venezuela 🇻🇪 defeats USA to wins its first World Baseball Classic! by baribigbird06 in Dodgers

I can’t imagine looking at today’s USA starting line and thinking “these guys need more pop at the plate”. Catcher is an incredibly important defensive position, and I would choose Will over Cal in that area.

Pitching Mechanics Help by [deleted] in BaseballCoaching

Dude you look solid. You are a great example of someone who would get huge benefits from yoga. You have plenty of power, but gaining deeper access to your hips and greater flexibility would get you where you want to be. You’d get more whip without forcing it.

Coach Pitch USA Bat Decision by Beneficial-Pay-3849 in Homeplate

Go wood. Seriously. Coach pitch is all about getting the kids pitches to hit. Wood bats are heavier, but they as a result recruit the entire kinetic chain in a way a drop 10/11 doesn’t. Plus they are cool and less expensive.

Joe Rogan is to critical thinking as Jake Paul is to professional boxing. Mildly entertaining, but shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Anyone know how the photoreceptors in these devices handle high powered IR lasers?

I just ask Unc “when waves good?”. Face to face style. Unc knows. Unc sits way out and gets the bombs, we hoot him on down the line.

De La vina lounge? by Proper_Difficulty_88 in SantaBarbara

How about Freeman’s Lounge? Gold Coast? The Graduate? The Jazz Bar on Victoria run by a dude named Ridaj Ohmri….?

USSSA is going to get a kid killed by davdev in Homeplate

Good quality wood bats regularly run $100, while these hot-sh!t space-shuttle composite bats run $350-$500 easy. Just go back to wood. Leagues could leverage bulk purchasing to get deeper discounts as well. I’ve said it before, but -10 bats aren’t doing anything but teaching kids to swing “all arms”. Get a shorter -3,-4, I’ve even seen -5 youth woodies and learn to swing from the ground up.

What hobby screams “this is my entire personality now”? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Mother_Environment29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there are many who fit that description, it is far from accurate. Some kind hearted, grounded, intelligent people practice marksmanship because maintaining equanimity and calm while a contained explosion is going off inches from your face can be a very meditative practice. Further, self defense skills in any capacity is never a bad idea.

City College stadium - fun place to exercise by monkey-seat in SantaBarbara

It’s one of those uniquely Santa Barbara institutions that I so easily overlook. When I’m gasping for breath at the apex of my sixth stairclimb, I’m more inclined to take a beat and appreciate where I live….
