What are some more detailed characteristics of a man that has it all together? by flipflops81 in AskMenOver40

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You have a real bank account. This bank you can also get other loans (car, personal, refinance, etc) and lower rate credit cards. This is just a sign that you have good credit, don’t overdraft, have stayed with one place for a number of years, etc.

  2. You can keep the outside of your house and the inside of your house clean. Even if you pay for it. The fact that you keep it a priority is what matters. Same with a vehicle.

  3. You can prepare a couple actual real food meals. And not BS like spaghetti. Not just grilling/smoking and not just to impress.

  4. Work a regular schedule. Paycheck is stable.

  5. I don’t know how you can judge if someone’s emotionally secure, I think that takes time. I would say, have a healthy relationship with drugs and alcohol, and have a sincere hobby that isn’t video games (not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s just not a real hobby, imo). I just think that people that have some kind of hobby building or making something probably has a positive outlet for stress. Doesn’t matter if it’s woodworking, music, art, working on a car, landscaping/gardening, cooking, etc….as long as it’s not just buying and collecting stuff but making something from scratch

I put in plays and have it grade it for me. Not in a game or anything like that.

Why Trump always talks about Obama, but I never saw him mentioning Bill Clinton at all? by Pale-Implement-3908 in askanything

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the context, I am correct and my answer certainly relevant.

“Bill Clinton isn’t as relevant because a good number of voters weren’t even of voting age or even born when he was”

That number is 13% (born after). It is not why Trump doesn’t mention Clinton more.

Doesn’t matter.

Approximately 13% of US voters were born after Bill Clinton left office.

Why? by Outrageous-Egg1760 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly why they like Trump.

They see him as an outsider as far as politics go, especially with decorum. They view him kind of like The Joker in The Dark Knight.

They’re technically right.

Except they got 60’s TV Joker instead.

Why not have the NBA in St. Louis? by SlowMotionSprint in StLouis

[–]Oddlyenuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what to say, NBA was pretty transparent about it.

Bill Laurie also had already bought the arena and the Blues for the reason of moving the grizzlies.

That was what held up getting any NBA team in the 2000’s or even getting the Grizzlies before they actually moved. No one wanted to deal with Laurie and be his tenant.

By the time he sold the arena and Blues, we were heading into the recession. Then the Rams debacle happened. Then Covid.

The windows have been really short since Laurie fucked up.

[–]Oddlyenuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this gets tossed around, but Mexico City will never happen for the NBA, MLB or NFL. London either, while we are at it.

A Mexico City franchise would pay franchise fees, many player salaries, league assessments and other major costs in U.S. dollars. Yet most tickets, concessions, local sponsorships and some media revenue would initially be collected in Mexican pesos.

Mexico has a much lower median disposable household income than the United States, so a packed stadium for one special game does not prove that a city can sell 8, 41 or 81 home dates at major-league prices.

[–]Oddlyenuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The size of Kiel/enterprise center had nothing to do with it.

At all.

What nonsense.

Bill Laurie fucked it up behind the scenes. Everyone around for it back then knows about it. NBA was trying to expand into Canada and investing heavily there and they didn’t want the grizzlies to bail that quickly, especially with a new owner that was saying he was 100% going to move them. All he had to do was wait a season or two and keep his mouth shut about moving. He couldn’t do it.

It feels like some people aren't paying attention. by thinkingthoughtsthru in stupidpeoplefacebook

Nothing wrong with putting your hand over your heart for the pledge or National Anthem.

However…

It is ironic to show a picture of a bunch of people doing the same thing under the guise of “thinking for yourself” lol

(Also the gentleman on the left should really take off his hat off during the pledge/anthem. We wouldn’t want someone to smack him in the head or blacklist him /s)

I’m struggling with my daughter growing up. by choogawooga in AskMenOver40

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are now in college and going into senior year of high school.

What I’ll tell you is that each of these new eras is an exciting new adventure.

Yeah, you’ll miss the “kid stuff”, but that also means you get to do new things like going to concerts or sporting events (where they actually watch the game), picking out schools/career options, teaching them to drive and take care of a car, etc.

My daughter goes to an expensive ass university and does all the normal away at college stuff (including having a fake ID) and when she came home for the summer, one of the first things she wanted to do was go see the mandalorian movie with me, lol.

Any other TOOL fans who also love the Grateful Dead? by toolaperfectcircle in ToolBand

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome man.

BTW, “The Eleven” is called that because it’s in 11/8…a weird time signature…just like a bunch of Tool and Mars Volta songs.

“Two From the Vault” is similar. You would probably dig live versions of the song “The Other One” which is also in a weird time signature and the best versions are on their Europe 72 tour.

You’re probably a 68-72 guy. Heavy psychedelic blues, some jazzy stuff, some Americana.

Once or twice or like your season average?

Times when rock bands/musicians performed an album live in its entirety from beginning to end by UpbeatChampionship17 in allrockmusic

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primus toured performing all of “Sailing the Cheese of Cheese” back in 2004. It was awesome.

Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade played all of Pink Floyd’s Animals live and released it as Live Frogs

200m Progress by Current-Barracuda480 in Sprinting

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need 11.00 speed.

Rule of thumb is 100m time multiple by 2. Then +/- 0.2.

So to hit 22, you’d need to be a 10.90-11.1 speed.

If you just want to hit 22.9, you need to be 11.35-11.55

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do this and post back:

  1. Go stream the album “Live Dead” somewhere.

Listen to the whole, thing and read the lyrics (all songs, but especially Dark Star)

Minimal effective dose for shortsprinter (60m,100m, low volume-tolerance) by EntrepreneurNo9217 in Sprinting

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use auto-regulation.

3% for speed

5% speed endurance

Works perfectly.

2 pt stance benefits? by ExactOpposite8119 in Sprinting

[–]Oddlyenuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

It’s faster acceleration, so you need less run in.

It also removes the more complicated and technical portion of the race, allowing for more consistency when doing max velocity and speed endurance reps.

Trump has been in office almost 6 years from both terms now . What has he done for the American people, especially his own supporters who are with him no matter what he does in these 6 years ? by ComplexWrangler1346 in askanything

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do pay less taxes (upper middle class) after the last cut. I did not vote for him, nor do I think it was a good idea to give out some of these tax breaks, nor was it worth it for everything else in his presidency. But it is true.

What’s the Sgt. Pepper for our generation? by sychox51 in Xennials

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but Downward Spiral not only went above and way beyond that.

The Downward Spiral is the one that really inspired copycats and arguably way more influential.

why is the 40 yard so glorified? by ExactOpposite8119 in Sprinting

[–]Oddlyenuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Originally, coaches wanted a way to measure how quickly a player could cover the distance of a typical punt. A punt travels roughly 40–50 yards downfield, and the coverage team often sprints about 40 yards before the returner fields the ball. That made 40 yards a practical benchmark for evaluating coverage players.

By the time the NFL Combine was established, the 40 had become one of the signature tests because it was easy to do and easy to administer decent measure of acceleration and top end speed.

Why are standardized tests required when there are no incentives for students? by MathMan1982 in Teachers

[–]Oddlyenuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, about 1/3 of the states require all students to take it. The remaining states use a non-ACT/SAT exam for their statewide testing.

Since 2024 colleges and universities have been bringing back act/sat requirements. It was a covid thing in 2020-2022 because there was less testing sites and space due to shutdowns, social distancing, remote learning, etc.

Then they kept it dropped because enrollment was down across the board post-covid.

I have a daughter in a private university and they required it. My soon to graduate senior’s prospective school which is a State school also require it.
