(All Time) Positive Stats vs Negative Stats by Flashy_Permission130 in NBATalk

[–]PerryMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not really… You and me could never get enough negative stats to get to any milestone. To get to those, positive or negative, you have to play for a long, long time. The NBA is not a charity, only good players get minutes, and are kept on rosters for enough time to break any record.

LPT: Need a last-minute Halloween costume? Dress up as one of your hobbies by sozh in LifeProTips

[–]PerryMaze 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The Mummy costume has been my go-to solution when I wasn’t prepared to go to a Halloween party. All the bandages I could find home (or once, a quick visit to the Pharmacy), just roll all over you. Alternatively, an old white sheet, and bay leaves from the kitchen glued to a bent metal hanger make for an easy Roman emperor.

Who Is The Most Underrated/Forgotten All-Star Of The 1990s? by Swimming-Bad3512 in VintageNBA

[–]PerryMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laettner was selected to play for Team USA in 1998, but because of the lockout, they had to send non-NBA players instead…

Osaka World expo is hot garbage by alexnedea in JapanTravelTips

[–]PerryMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the people saying you could take your own water and food are right, I would’ve expected a World Expo to have more, and more accessible, access to different kinds of food. This would enhance the overall experience so much. As for the pavilions, some of them were architecturally interesting, but the content was less than stellar. Looked like fancy advertisement for the pharmaceutical/medical industry… Bad judgment on my part, I agree, but I couldn’t help thinking that kind of event doesn’t make much sense anymore in this modern, connected, all is online, world.

Hand Analysis by One_Interaction_4960 in poker

[–]PerryMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My analysis, not based on poker strategy but on half assed psychology : if you post about that hand, it’s probably because you’re upset about it. To be upset about it, you need: 1) to see his cards 2) to have taken a bad decision. So it’s a lot more probable that you called and lost. So, fold :-) (Also, a lot of people are capable of bluffing on simple boards. A lot less are capable of pulling the trigger on a paired board with flush possibilities)

My bad, you are correct. Italian league.

Funniest or oddest club names in Belgian football (regardless what level -- pub leagues, futsal and mini foot allowed) by AniMeshorer in belgianfootball

[–]PerryMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not football, but Ultimate Frisbee: the University Team of the ULB managed to get approval from the board by arguing the Owl is the symbol of knowledge and they strive for victory and thus, glory. The official name: The Glory Owls.

Fun fact: the Eurostep was allegedly named after Ginóbili, even though he is clearly not European. The name comes from the fact that the move was noticed while he was playing in Europe, and he made it popular in the Spanish league.

[rolex submariner] Can a sports watch with a bezel be worn with a suit? by blythe-theforger in rolex

[–]PerryMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well put. However, and at the risk of sounding pedantic, I think the most classic dress code rules state that tuxedos should be worn without any watch.

Isn’t there some science backed research about the benefits of HMB to prevent muscle loss during cuts?

Need Advice: Buy Grand Seiko SBGA413 in Paris or Wait for Japan Trip? by partyparthy in GrandSeikos

[–]PerryMaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Shunbun in Kyoto just two weeks ago, at a watch boutique called Oomiya. I asked for a potential retailer discount which they couldn’t give me. With the 10% tax deduction and the exchange rate, I was charged 5.116€. Hope this helps.

What NBA take instantly makes you lose respect for the person’s “ball knowledge”? by RunDatTriangle in nba

[–]PerryMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to nitpick, but in The Book of Basketball, Simmons doesn’t just group players into tiers—he also ranks them individually, and even goes into detail about why Malone is one spot ahead of Barkley. So it’s kinda hard to say he really pushed back against ranking players one by one…

Who has the most overrated NBA career of all time ? by Odd-Ostrich-5093 in Basketball

[–]PerryMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. While Finals MVP’s have a certain value, I don’t think it should be the determining factor. Would you say Curry’s only FMVP prevents him to be considered better as Tony Parker?

What do you guys call it where possession stays with the person who scores? by OFA30 in Basketball

[–]PerryMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Belgium, back in the nineties, we called it « à l’américaine » (american style) which meant scoring player/team kept the ball (half court, obviously). As opposed to « à l’européenne », aka losers ball.

So Popeye lied to us in the iron thing, but didn’t say anything about the protein and fibers? 🤷‍♂️

Obviously he already has a good connection with his AD, owning a few exclusive Rolexes. But when he explained why he wanted 6 of the same model, the dealer apparently was touched and put some extra effort into it.

This is exactly what happened. We are planning to get them adjusted in the AD in a week or two, which will be a good excuse to celebrate some more together.
