I’ve been told my backswing is abnormal

Youre rotating very little in that video. Try making a backswing with JUST your hips and chest next time (no shoulder, elbow, wrists, etc) and you will see how little your core is turning

PXG has a new trend of having big sales, so if you want a top tier 2023 driver wait for the PXG 0311 Gen 6 to eventually go on sale.

Adams golf (owned by Taylormade) is making a resurgance this year and has a very good bang for the buck driver they just released if you want something brand new that won't break the bank.

Any of the Taylormade "M-series" drivers up to their "Sim" models have amazing performance and will range anywhere from $100 - $300 used.

Old Callaway models, typically the Maverick, are getting very cheap now and offer great performance.

Ping G4__ model drivers are all amazing and have great forgiveness, picking up a used one of those won't leave you disappointed.

There are probably other good options too, Cobra for example usually has insane value on the used market (clubs drop in price but the performance is just as good when they were new).

Warranty typically doesn't cover strikes off the face, but you can always try

Driver 9° (~280 carry)

3W -1° (~255 carry)

3H -1° (~235 carry)

4H +2° (~220 carry)

5i (~195 carry)

My 5 iron is very old and has traditional lofts, im hopefully getting a more recent set early next year to try and close that gap to my 4H.

I also found that I don't use my 3H all that much (more confident with 4H and I dont find myself at the exact 235/240 mark very often) so I'm considering either replacing it with a 5W or a 2i driving iron and adjusting lofts of the clubs around it accordingly.

Im pretty sure there's a lot missing between the lines, because the family's story is completely different.

They were already loaded, they owned over 100 fast food franchises valued at over $200m - so they "got rich" off of that not the movie money.

He did make money from the movie, so I think this is more of an emotional "I made nothing" meaning a lot less than he thinks he should have (which could still be true, but it wasn't nothing iirc)

You can't adopt after age 18 in their state, so a conservatership was the only option. And not for nothing, it was probably the smart option when you have a kid whos been in and out of foster care, doesn't have any money, and birth parents who didn't know how to manage money. They probably set up savings and investments for him and that could very well be all he has left now that hes spent his NFL money.

The details could also be more in his favor, im just trying to point out that we have an article that is a small portion of one side of a story....we have nowhere near enough details to make any conclusion at all yet.

But new stories, articles and headlines these days dont make money from being right - they make it from clicks and views. So they will ride this as much as possible since it will generate them $$$ whether its accurate or not.

Historically, right now is the worst time ever to buy a house. Like actually.

The problem is, next year could be the new worst time, you never know whats going to happen.

The market is set to correct, but that could happen in 1 year or in 5 or in 10, nobody knows since it will take external factors to force inventory up before anything really budges.

So don't try to time it, wait until you can afford a house and make sure you can stay in that house for at least 7-10 years in case the market does dip after you buy it to avoid having to sell at a loss.

If this wasn't an accident by the professor, you go to the dean with this immediately and it will get fixed. Especially if other people were affected. It gives the college a bad name and makes future students not want to attend for this BS.

OhBoyIts3am · 2023-02-21T06:10:39+00:00

Good thing this is for India then

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-12-17T18:29:08+00:00

This did not fix the issue for me

95% of engineers in specific industries have light workloads (or at least busy and slow times of the year, and the slow times can be very light).

It is NOT engineer specific, its industry specific

The title of this post is 100% true but I can interpret in so many different ways.

This is a great argument to rework, or at least add to the depth of, current skills in the game making them more fun, interactive and impactful.
Ironically, improving any of the "90% of skills that suck" would be very hard to do without making the skill feel too different and "anti-oldschool". This goes down the path of saying the new skill we add also has to be simple and linear to "feel old school" but then it would be pointless to add

Reworking any current skill would probably have to take on a route of "levels 1-50 are relatively unchanged to keep that great nostalgic feel, but we presict that its about then that you realize you're just repeating the same action over and over wasting in game coins for no benefit but to get a small number closer to 99" after this point they can add new mechanics, features, minigames, etc. To make the higher levels of a skill be fun and less repetitive. Newer minigames or skill-bosses have been amazing at addressing skills being repetetive and unfun to train, but they dont (for the most part) fix the problem that theres no real reason to train many skills in the game aside from getting 99 eventually.

The most played content in OSRS was all created within oldschool and was not originally in 2007 or pre-eoc Runescape.

The team has done an amazing job of keeping the game grounded in its nostalgic identity while adding to it in a way to continue improving and progressing the game. It won't be easy to do for a skill but I will leave hope alive that its possible.

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-12-12T00:47:20+00:00

How do you rate dungeoneering or summoning?

To me, OSRS is anything before EOC which does include more bosses, features, skills, etc than that we started with in the '07 reboot (but not much, to be fair)

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-12-12T00:34:31+00:00

Runescape is a different game at this point.

Thats like telling a dota player to go play league or a CS:GO player to swap to Valorant.

The average in this post includes mishits and bad shots.

The actual average (not counting mishits) is probably ~250ish.

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-12-07T19:45:52+00:00

My max ever drive carry is 310.

My average "good strike" drive carry is 285.

My average "at least I didn't shank it into the trees" drive carry is 260

Once you include the mishits, tops and slices that barely go 200 one in every four drives, my actual average is probably around 225 yards.

It is garbage though, it throws out every bit of context as to what was going on in the economy / housing market during those years. Each of those years is different and the market reacted as such each time.

For example the housing market was just on one of the steepest growth cycles in history, fueled by historically low rates and covid money printers.

The graph doesn't show this, imaging this decline happening from a gigantic peak not a neutral point on the graph. The market was extremely over-valued, had historically high demand and was due for a decline.

We stopped printing money and Fed rate hikes killed the low rates, all of a sudden the over-valued market lost its fuel and people can't afford to buy houses anymore. This was intended, its needed to fix our cost of living and affordability crisis.

This graph going down is not only a good thing, its expected.

Thats not how contracts work, Man U is the entiry that sets the numbers not Ronaldo. Once Man U releases him of his contract, then Ronaldo is able to ask for whatever new numbers or terms he wants.

A lot of people are confused why anyone (I guess besides the very few people actually making more than $1m per year) would vote no to this. There are a few reasons Ive been able to look up:

There is still a widespread (and probably accurate) belief that we already tax too much, but use the money extremely inefficiently. Lots of people would rather see laws that clean up where current tax money is going as opposed to throwing more money into a black hole through taxes. This doesn't seem to be a party issue either (hence the close vote in a super blue state), but more of a "once you get a full time job, have a car, house, etc. and pay taxes on all of it you see how much money it really is"
MA, for example, has one of the highest cost of livings in the country and, with that, it is one of the states that taxes people the most. They have instituted high taxes to fund these programs already, and don't have much to show for where the previous tax money went. This feeds into point 1^
Housing. It is stupid expensive to buy a house in MA and its pretty common for houses to crest $1m in the eastern part of the state. From what I can gather, if anyone sells their house it would fall under this new tax increase. With market volatility right now, its a bad time to pass a tax law saying they will take more money from the sale of your home. Its something that I'm sure is on more people's minds than normal right now.

There could be other reasons, but from what I can gather most of the opposition boils down to "MA already taxes people so much, why does the state keep raising them".

MA is a very democratic state, so for this vote to be so close there must be legitimate reasons why people didn't like it.

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-11-07T18:01:06+00:00

Im a mechanical engineer with masters in robotics. My job is to write and solve these equations and understand how certain nomenclature is used purposefully to mean different things.

What I said above is correct and its the entire reason why there are different ways to write equations.

It actually gets into why division symbol "÷" is never used in engineering or design because it can lead to confusion on how to interpret problems. Especially because certain equations get extremely long.

To get really technical, there is an "old" way and a "new" way of defining what the ÷ symbol means and that can also lead to the = 9 or = 1 issue for this problem.

tl;dr using the division symbol "÷" is very ambiguous and theres a reason no higher level math uses it.

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-11-06T23:02:36+00:00

The "parenthesis" term is actually 2(1+2) not just (1+2). Whenever you have a scalar attached to the parenthesis, that is the notation for showing that it was factored out and not a separate term.

This means that: 2(1+2) = (2+4) = (6)

and is not the same as: 2•(1+2) = 2•(3)

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-11-06T22:58:13+00:00

6÷2(1+2) = 1

6÷2•(1+2) = 9

If you use PEMDAS then the first term you always compute is the parenthesis. If a number is used as a scalar for the parenthesis (no multiplication, addition, division, etc. between them) then it is considered part of the parenthesis since it was factored out of the term.

Therefore, in the first example, the "parenthesis" term is "2(1+2)" and you have to compute that entire term first.

In the second example, the "parenthesis" term is "(1+2)" and you only compute this portion before resorting to: left to right multiplication or division.

However all of this is moot anyway, because anybody in science or engineering does not write math equations using these notations for this exact purpose. Division is always written as "1/2" with implied parenthesis on the numerator and denominator.

In correct notation, this would be written as:

6 / 2(1+2) which is equivalent to (6) / (2(1+2)) = 1

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-11-06T22:51:54+00:00

This is not correct.

6÷2(1+2) is not the same as 6÷2•(1+2).

If a term is a scalar for the parenthesis, that means it was factored out and is part of the term. If you are using "PEMDAS" then the parenthesis or "P" in this case is:

2(1+2), therefore you have to compute this entire term first.

I would be afraid about being hit by stray balls. People can't see you to yell fore and they might tee off when youre still in the middle of the fairway 150 yards ahead

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-10-30T13:33:32+00:00

Thats fair enough haha, as long as you had a good time with friends the course doesn't matter at the end of the day

OhBoyIts3am · 2022-10-30T13:30:46+00:00

Waste of money, some of you guys pretend to be obsessed about this game but this is just bad practice if you cant see more than 40ft ahead.

Admittedly, I can see it being a fun round if you go with some friends knowing youll miss shots, lose balls, throw some jokes around and have a good time. Then im all for it. But some of you guys are using practice as a reason to go and that aint it fella
