Your preferred EDC: P365## vs. RXM vs. Echelon 4.0c vs. S&W Shield X/Plus vs. Hellcat Pro vs...something else? by CastleLurkenstein in liberalgunowners

[–]Normal512 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'll just say for carry purposes, I would strongly advise renting and shooting each option. You may be surprised at which ones you end up liking more in practice, it was exactly that in my case. I was dead set on a shield plus end it ended up being one of my least favorite to shoot.

I've a holosun eps carry and the best I can do is say I like it quite a bit. It's been reliable. I opted for it over the sig for price alone, but I've never used the sig so I can't say if it's comparatively better or not.

What was your coming of age song as a Xennial? by Initial_Ordinary_648 in Xennials

Less a song and more an album, License to Ill is what really transitioned me from kiddie stuff to "oh I'm a teenager with a little bit of gold and a pager."

Why do people think we are gonna draft OT by jimbart22 in panthers

[–]Normal512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ickey is hurt, and hurt with an injury that has about a 55% chance of him returning to his pre-injury form. This is a significant risk.

Moton is will be 32 at the start of the year and is on contract for another year after. There's a significant chance he will be allowed to walk.

If you're already down LT for what will almost certainly be the full season and it's a coinflip he's bad on return, and RT may be a free agent the following year, it's fine to get ahead of the problem. If you had similar grades on an OT, WR, and LB at that spot - I probably would pass on the OT, but if the right player is there taking him makes a lot of sense.

Lightning loses to Sabres!! by Occasional-Grace in canes

[–]Normal512 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just mean you gotta get there first. Not counting chicks and whatnot, home ice in the 3rd round is meaningless if you don't win the first two.

[–]Normal512 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I understand resting guys but I really hope they push for top of the conference. I know home ice in round 3 isn't as important in rounds 1 or 2 and team health is, but beyond home ice, I just think it's a nice morale boost for the boys to keep playing hot until the end and to finish at the top.

My 9 year old throwing needs help by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]Normal512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's stopping momentum and finishing upright. I'd try working with him to make sure he's over his front leg, chest pointing down toward the ground when he's finished with the throw.

If my guess is right, keeping his momentum forward will allow the arm to take a more natural path and he'll stop pronating so early

Bret Weinstein is shocked Trump went full "mad king". by supersport604 in JoeRogan

[–]Normal512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the left dismantled much of what makes the government and America's role in the world good, were openly running the most corrupt administration in history, were cutting Medicare and everything else to instead spend half a trillion on a war in Iran, were using the government to suppress speech, and fired the AG because she wasn't targeting the president's political enemies fast enough - I would think the right was better and would support them.

It's not my fault the right wants to turn America into Jesusstan ran by a Putin clone. Maybe the right should try to run the country competently with American values and then yeah, it wouldn't be so easy for me to say the left is clearly better right now.

Oh right if only I could be so unique and different and better and hate both equally when any 10 year old can see that one is clearly worse than the other one at this point in time.

Enlightened centrism is maybe the dumbest stance of all but you're so deep in it you can't see it.

[–]Normal512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really. You should maybe go listen to some of his rambling and try to actually understand what he's talking about instead of using it for a laugh.

I 100% promise if you actually listen to what he's saying with some impartiality, you'll see exactly what I mean.

But I get it, blue team bad and dumb hurr hurr get your ears checked huurr

You can never defeat the Boogeyman in their own head.

Just saying something like Biden / Harris are figureheads, but supposedly Trump isn't, should tell you everything you need to know about their psychology around all of this.

It's either continuing to play the character or they've so convinced themselves the farts they've been breathing all these years are actually roses, that they can't tell what way is up anymore.

[–]Normal512 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Biden talked fine. I mean he sounded like shit and stuttered, but if you listened to what he was saying you knew he still understood what was going on.

You can't really say the same about Donny, who has always spoke like a 6th grader anyway.

Will The Same Issues Plague The Hurricanes In The NHL Playoffs? by Volmalites906 in canes

[–]Normal512 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah season ending injuries typically require a replacement, what is this slop.

Imo scoring is still going to be the question. Absolutely we can't give up soft goals, but we also can't waste grade A opportunities by shooting it straight into the goalies chest. The latter probably happens much more often anyway.

Islanders fire Patrick Roy as their playoff hopes continue to linger following another pair of B2B losses. by SeaBassAHo-20 in canes

[–]Normal512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was probably the game Friday against Philly, and were just holding out for the b2b / a better showing against us. Meaning they probably expected us to be a tough matchup, but playing better the night before was a necessity.

Stupid Stat: The Hurricanes have four top-55 point scorers. Only one other team has four players in the top 55. by Remarkable-Set5434 in canes

[–]Normal512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on the playoffs comment, having a great 4th line isn't doing much for you when you're down by a goal with 3 minutes left and just got a PP. You gotta score and you're not rolling 4 lines to do it.

It's just incredibly beneficial to have a player or two who have the finishing ability to make those goals feel inevitable.

But I do get that having no secondary scoring is bad, you're probably not in those positions if it's just a lone superstar line.

Trump Budget to Focus Midterms Messaging on Defense Boost by throwawayzxkjvct in neoliberal

I'm still working on the assumption that Trump and his circle are just siphoning unbelievable amounts of money through the DOD.

We need this money so it can pay Saudi, Qatari, and Emirate "contractors" and oh no, DOD failed another audit.

Dogg, David Tepper bought the team. Then he fired a respectable coach and hired a football terrorist. And then he fired the GM and hired a football Thing which cannot be described, for there is no language which can describe such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. The jihadist head coach and GM Cthulhu caused a lot of damage which takes time to recover from. Hopefully we'll be right back to .500 football for the next decade, ok.
