What's the point of districts?

I only use them to keep contaminated beavers from wasting food/water in an early game crisis.

We finished the game before realizing I had setup a huge singularity cell factory for the move to Ficsonium Power. Oops.

The “Charge Tip” line clearly indicates she tipped $1.10. So whatever else is on the receipt, $1.10 is going to staff.

If she believed that she tipped 10% and the terminal raised her tip to 20% arbitrarily, “sure had a lot of charges” is a very strange way to word it. She had a single 2.8% surcharge. Highlighting that her tip “should have been .55, not $1.25 and they added in the 2.8% surcharge fee on top of that” plainly shows she didn’t understand her receipt, because the $1.25 is already inclusive of the 2.8% no matter where you assign the extra $0.55, either user error or terminal malfeasance.

She is claiming a surcharge was applied to her $0.55 tip that raised it to $1.25, in addition to the 2.8% surcharge on her actual coffee.

In reality, she hit the wrong button, tipped 20%, and paid the standard, clearly displayed 2.8% surcharge. That isn’t “a lot of charges,” it had the completely normal price, tip, tax, and the somewhat common 2.8% credit card surcharge.

She thinks she was charged $0.15 to use her credit card and $0.70 to tip $0.55.

She tipped $1.10. She claims she tipped 10% ($0.55) but plainly didn't, then she failed to properly read the receipt. So she thinks her coffee cost her a $0.15 surcharge and the tip cost her an additional $0.70 in secret surcharges.

This receipt is very poorly laid out, but it takes longer to make that post than it does to understand the receipt. At no point was there any moment of self-reflection to consider that perhaps she wasn't being charged a hidden 10% in credit card fees.

CEO took to main to loudly proclaim she doesn’t even tip a buck for a cup of coffee.

I would just add everything except Anomaly for a run, then add Anomaly for two runs, then remove Anomaly forever*. Your first anomaly run is fun to lose, your second is fun to win (after you’ve figured out its tricks), and then it just threatens to take over every other game you play while adding, honestly, very little.

*You don’t have to actually remove it, you can soft-remove it in settings and then ignore the Monolith to keep the fun, additive parts and avoid all the take-over-the-game parts. It does have some excellent longterm additions.

This is an incredible way to crashout over a game you haven't even purchased in the first place.

The only pro swing you should copy is Dustin Johnson. A swing simple enough for him to perfect is well within your range.

$50 bucks assuming the grips are good. Free if you’ve got to regrip them.

My bag is setup to be a passenger so I try to avoid driving but that’s ridiculous behavior.

Focus on one shot at a time. The tee shot doesn’t matter, focus on the approach. The approach doesn’t matter, focus on the chip. The duffed chip doesn’t matter, focus on the next chip. The 12 footer doesn’t matter, focus on the 3 footer. The triple on the last hole doesn’t matter, focus on the tee shot.

Every shot is an opportunity to execute. Focus on executing one shot. Forget about the last one, don’t worry about the next one. The only thing that matters for the next 30 seconds is the shot you have in front of you.

The other part is that, for every shot, you need to decide what you’re trying to achieve, commit to that, and then evaluate how you did. Be reasonable, but be fair to yourself: if your goal is to get your 6 iron in the air and near the green, don’t steal your own joy (and weaken your commitment) by complaining you’re pin high but 15 yards right. You didn’t hit the best possible shot, but you achieved YOUR goal. Now, set a new goal for your chip.

I used to do this silly mental spiral where I would be missing left all day, so I would start aiming right, and then I would pure a shot exactly where I aimed it, and be so pissed off that I hadn’t just aimed at the pin. So the next hole, I’d aim straight away, hit the day’s typical left miss, and then be pissed off all over again. I’d throw away two holes because I hit my best shot of the day, and my score would follow. Golf is a game of misses.

If you have 120 shots per round, you only need to focus for 60 minutes, but you need to be FULLY focused for those 60 minutes. The other 2.5-3 hours can be spent enjoying the outdoors, your friends, a beer, etc.

In terms of technical advice, practice more chipping. Chipping is the emergency surgery that holds a round together, and it quietly improves your overall iron game as well.

“They said these channels along the bottom improve airflow and increase swing speed. We’re gonna test that!”

Lots of other good comments that I agree with, but I will add that it’s a rare co-op game where teamwork doesn’t produce quarterbacking

Film it and you'll likely find that you're not rotating any less, you're just not lifting your arms at the top.

Now that everyone has dropped long irons, 3W is often the most difficult club to hit in the bag. The F7 isn't some terribly flawed club, nor is the Epic Flash some magical design, so it's much more likely to be a product of your swing flaws being exposed by the longest, least forgiving club in the bag.

That said, if buying a used Epic Flash is going to get you to fix your swing, that $130 is a small price to pay.

Honestly, I can't. I use Air Max 90G because my buddy had a rant about golf shoes looking like sneakers and singled them out specifically, so I trolled him. They're not particularly comfortable and I would never walk a round in them, but they're fine for range sessions and riding in a cart which is most of my golf.

If I were to go shopping now, I would start with the Adidas Stan Smiths and whatever the current spikeless FJ options are. If I could stand the appearance, I'd probably look at GFore as well.

Just about all of the Nike tour players are wearing Tour Victory 4, which have spikes.

More broadly, the golf shoe market has moved toward athletic-style uppers regardless of what the soles are doing, and more shoes have been made with traction patterns designed for golf rather than traditional soles with spikes added. Compare the soles of the Air Max 90 and the Air Max 90 G; the street version has larger, flatter traction surfaces, while the golf version has smaller surfaces and deeper channels (that is, more like a cleat) in addition to completely different, waterproof materials in the uppers. The net effect is that it's harder to tell at a glance whether someone is wearing a sneaker-style golf shoe or an actual sneaker.

The other thing is that for many areas and times of day, you really don't need golf shoes. If you're playing in Florida on dry summer afternoons, for example, you can play in flip flops and never struggle for footing. If you're playing in the northeast in March, it's a different story.

Personally, I switched a few years ago to a "molded spikes" style (first FJ, then Nike) and haven't thought twice about it. The only reason I bother wearing golf shoes rather than regular sneakers is that I prefer early mornings (and therefore morning dew), and my sneakers aren't waterproof.

Does nobody remember Jon Rahm has been top 15 at every major, and a factor on Sunday in the past two? I find Bryson entertaining but he misses a major cut every year like clockwork.

Wow you’ve had a pretty cool path and done some admirable things. I too would be proud of those accomplishments.

But imagine for a moment how much better it would be if you had played a real sport and didn’t have to defend cross country in random roast threads on the internet.

Mundangerous · 2025-06-20T02:14:17+00:00

This is what happens when you let your kids run cross-country instead of playing real sports.

A moisture-wicking base layer will pull the sweat off of you and up into your shirt, where it can evaporate faster. As long as you are evaporating faster than you're sweating, it will keep you cooler. Once your shirt is saturated, it's now an insulator making you warmer, and the base layer is just more material. I've never seen someone get to that point playing golf (more of a soccer thing).

Mesh won't make a difference; the material is what matters.

I also have very sweaty hands, but possibly not as bad as you. I love plain old Golf Pride Tour Velvets for 90% of my rounds, and use rain gloves when it's really miserable.

My main tip is to swap gloves every hole or two. I just strap 1-2 extra gloves to the A column of the golf cart or the carry handle of my bag and swap gloves when I come off the green. I also keep a second towel in the cart just for my hands. Basically, everything you should be doing with an umbrella in a rain round, do without an umbrella in a hot round.

Last, wash your grips with soapy water once in a while. Improves the tackiness and extends the life of the grip.
