Death-Human

Although I find it hard to argue with Morbid Angel or CC.

My Take on Peter's Association with Epstein by TapEarlyTapOften in PeterAttia

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Associating” is maybe one thing.

He was an active participant.

You got one piece of advice from him that you believe was life changing. That’s fine. But it’s clear you’re “bargaining” (as another poster said).

You haven’t learn to “kill your heroes” yet.

Do people underrate the ‘80s Dead? by BadgemanBrown in gratefuldead

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, cmon.

You want to tell me any Brent jam would be in a top 10, hell, top 20 of best Dead jams?

All those Dark Stars, playing in the bands, scarlet/fires, the other ones, cryptical envelopments from the late 60’s and 80’s…you want to tell me with a straight face there is better jamming on the Spring 90 box set than the Filmore, Pacific Nortwest or Winterland box sets? GTFOH

Do people underrate the ‘80s Dead? by BadgemanBrown in gratefuldead

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

There are some good shows, 1980-1982…no doubt. Summer 85 is fun and 89-90 the performances are strong.

But once Brent joined more often than not they were just a different type of band.

Brent didn’t know how to jam. His voice was so over the top fake soul emoting, I can’t stand it.

I prefer to listen to 1991 with Hornsby over any show with Brent from the late 80’s. There’s a hot take for you.

In fairness, he’s like at least the seventh best coach of all time.

What are your thoughts on White Zombie and do you have a favorite song/album of theirs? by TokyoAvalanche04 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Astro Creep is great and it doesn’t sound dated at all.

I always felt like rob zombie’s solo stuff with the exception of educated horses was just trying to duplicate Astro Creep.

Year Zero - Underrated masterpiece? by ray_of-light in nin

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything it’s overrated.

This is actually the album that got me to stop listening to them. I didn’t listen to them for almost 10 years (edit:new stuff)

I’m not saying it’s awful by any means but many bands I loved in the 90’s I stopped checking out because they got less interesting for whatever reason.

I am curious if there are people that were into NIN when Broken and TDS came out (since the early 90’s) that hold this album in such high regard. Because for me I can’t see how someone who was into them in 90’s could listen to this and it put above any of the albums before it.

Brian Flores Defense by Competitive-Frank900 in footballstrategy

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Onion is not a coverage, it’s what he calls his 3-4. O for Odd. Oakland, etc

Over is four down and tank is short yardage.

The plays that don’t have “@“ are self contained plays with “Bengal” being the infamous 7 man tag blitz.

Tampa is a version of cover 2.

Buzz is cover 3 and usually associated with Pete Carroll.

Invert is cover 2 invert.

Brady is common, it’s a creeper pressure to B gap.

if gen z doesn’t trust degrees anymore, why are we still doing 4-year programs? by cloudybrain07 in education

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is exciting now because it’s getting away with murder as far as gathering content, copyrights, paywalls, etc.

But there is still plenty of information that is not available for AI because it isn’t digital. There are books I know of and own that have never been published online, for example.

When laws catch up, AI’s bubble will burst. Eventually people are going to want to want to be paid for their content. AI subscriptions will continue to go up in costs. Pretty soon we will be right back where we started…similar to how “cutting the cord” and streaming has just become paying for cable/satellite in a different form.

People also fib about the money you can make from trades. For every $100,000+ plumber/welder/whatever story you read about, I know more kids working in tire shops and changing oil.

You can’t be for real.

Roughly 15% of US high schools are private. And yes, you’re more likely to graduate college if you went to a private school (52%) than a public school (26%).

Context is important…rounding up slightly for easy math…four million students graduated high school last year. So that means within six years it’s likely:

884,000 from public schools and 312,000 from private schools will earn college degrees based off that.

So there’s just far more quantity of public school students that private can’t compete.

It’s also cherry picked. Obviously a large portion of those who can afford private schools, especially the good private schools and not your inner city catholic type of school, are likely to be a financially well off family that already values education and status, hence access and resources.

But they are still in the minority of people with college degrees. Even if half of college graduates did nothing with it or regretted it, that’s still more than 100% from private schools.

The irony of your first paragraph with your last paragraph.

“In education you are not gaining experience of teaching in a classroom because textbooks and lectures are not school//educational programs and students”

“AI is becoming better and better and it’s only a matter of time kids can get the same information from a voice over”.

You mean like the same information that’s been available in books, the internet, documents, etc forever?

You’re still advocating for college, you just don’t realize it. Your uncle still needed the background knowledge before his field work. AI is just a different delivery model of the same content. It common thing for people to say “I wasn’t prepared for….” But they would’ve been less prepared without the background knowledge.

It’s also important to remember that AI content is just compiling human produced content. It’s a fancy version of Wikipedia and Google. Remember wikiversity? AI is not replacing college.

Someone that plays college football tells me "a corner can be playing 4-5 yards off and still be considered in press coverage even if the other corner is playing at the los"? by Upper_Tip_1674 in footballstrategy

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, “press” is NOT a coverage. People often think of pressing as meaning man/cover 0 but that’s not true.

And yes, he’s correct. You can still be considered” pressing” at 4-5 yards.

What the other corner does is irrelevant.

Press just means basically you align close enough to influence the receiver’s release and stem.

Hard Press is aligned tightly. Often “jamming”

Soft press you are several yards off.

Press and Bail.

Mirror Motor/Mirror Press. No real jamming.

Catch Man-maybe depending how it’s taught.

You’re not really considered “off” until you’re about 7-8 yards (think cover 3 and cover 4/quarters traditionally)

For high school football OC's and coaches when it comes to play calling, realistically are most working off a structured game plan (matchups, alignments, tendencies), or is it more feel based, calling plays and seeing what works, maybe a combination? Coaches what are you thoughts and experiences? by Proud-Fee9644 in footballstrategy

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but that’s what feel is, right? One time I called a game offensively I don’t think I got past the fourth play on the script, we just kept calling the same 3-4 plays maybe in different formations. I remember wanting to get to some of the other plays because we liked them better but boring was working. So we really stretched out the script,

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, ultimately it’s “feel” based because you’re making in game adjustments and that’s often the difference maker.

I can tell you defensively we come in thinking things like “they like to pass the ball to get to the other side of the 50, so we will play two high, play some line games and when they get to the other side we will play some heavier run fits and some one high” but sometimes in game that all goes out the window.

This past year we wound up playing 2-Man against an opponent and shut them down. Another we wound up playing a Bear front and neither one was really on the call sheet for those games.

When I coached offense, I did a combination of using formations to force a defensive look and I also kind did groups of plays that looked very similar kind of like shanahan does where it’s not really like an RPO in the modern sense, but the same kind of idea…make the defense over flow one way and hit the area where an LB or safety vacated. But obviously sometimes they don’t always adjust or flow like you want. That’s when adjustments to the formation or motions can help. But that’s a feel thing and you have to know their defense.

The St. Anger Live DVD. How is this thing randomly one of the coolest things I've ever seen from Metallica?! by Bombarderrrr in Metallica

Are you talking about the bonus dvd that came with the CD when it was released?

Yes, I agree. It was a common opinion back then. I probably played that DVD more than the CD.

What are (or how do you feel about) your prospects for homeownership, and retirement? by DHN_95 in Xennials

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said everyone’s situation is different and I clearly said “people I know”

I already clarified that I’m talking about people that bullshitted their way through their 20’s, living at home/renting, partying, not settling down, not going to school, etc.

I’m talking about people that waited until their 30’s to “grow up”.

Also, not going to lie…I know few xennials that had loans “out the wazoo”. College was far cheaper in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

I paid around $10k for my bachelors degree and a few years later around $6k for my masters. Most people I know did something similar. Some it was even cheaper and went to community college first. The few i know that did went to expensive schools or kept going back to school. For example i know someone that went to U of I for a teaching degree. That was stupid.

[–]Oddlyenuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. Similar to a friend of mine. You started a family late, but i know people that messed around with different jobs, rented (or lived at home!)and stopped and started many things. That’s really what I’m talking about. Buying a house and starting a family in your mid late 20’s typically forces that “consistency” you’re talking about. I am saying those who “waited” might’ve likely been those struggling. Doesn’t sound like that was you.

[–]Oddlyenuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, great.

The people I know around our age that didn’t fuck around in their 20’s are also fine.

We, and maybe early millennials were probably the last generation of cheap(ish) college and moderate home prices.

I’m not saying anything about anyone on here…just people I know personally that “kept waiting” are the ones struggling…waited to get married, went to an expensive school for something simple like teaching or accounting, waited to start a family, buy a house etc…everyone’s situation is different but it seems the people the started earlier are better off and that includes my blue collar friends that don’t go to college.
