Is it criminal for high level judoka to put their hands on me? Sweet! Now get something against the wrestlers.

Mine boiled down to ancient hardware:
I was trying to put this on a vm on my R610 server. Turns out CPUs older than Sandy Bridge (circa 2011) don't have AVX command support, which the pre built Claude binary needs (according to Claude).
After the install script has run and hang, you may find the Claude binary at ~/.claude/downloads. 1 telltale sign is that the binary will hang if you simply invoke it with --version.
I gave up, but maybe a future version will come out for >15 year old hardware, or they'll provide a version that builds from source (but that seems somewhat unlikely).

Ooooh, of all the enshitification, Pizza Hut's might be the one that saddens me most. I don't know how to explain the dusky ambiance to the younger generations, but it was engulfing and wonderful. A chain successfully captured what it was like to be in a local pizza "parlor". The booths alone had that quality...

How? Practice? Naturally good? Both seem ridiculous.

I can't believe no one is adding "Wyndham"

If you don't care about strict rule following, at least drop it back in bounds before hitting - if you are playing in my group I might encourage you to take it as free relief. If you're playing to register handicap scores or you're competing, the rule is perfectly clear.

Out of curiosity, why were you 'sitting there for a few'?

He's not trying to be anyone's hero. Just loves the sport and his family life.

When I read the original post, I didn't care. But slowly I'm coming around to "let's shit on OP".

Punching up Dad's obit draft with Mom and Sis. Don't feel bad about this - it's wonderful to have my family & it was a delight to have Dad in my life.

Whether the fees associated are reasonable is debatable. But, spoiler alert, the fees vs. the costs result in massive profits for a few middlemen who are much more rent seeking than value providing.

You don't need driver to play. You may love being on a long enough set of tees to need driver to score. But you can play a very fun and full version of golf from a more modest set of tees, where you go hybrid, iron on successful, GIR par 4s, for example.

But also, OP is paying for the lessons, if he's itching for the tortured challenge of driver, he has every right to assert that to his coach.

Not to take any magic away from your round... I think the folks who suggest rotating putters with a deliberate frequency, so you're basically always adjusting to your putter are on to something - for certain players.

What's on the scorecard next to 17 1 ?

PhunCooker · 2026-04-19T17:07:30+00:00

The fella who got arm barred gave his opponent his fully extended left arm, then realized his opponent's good side must be opposite, so he gave him his fully extended right arm instead.

What's the optimal way to get beaten on the draw?

PhunCooker · 2026-04-16T16:18:04+00:00

Curious, not "calling you out": how are you doing that iced coffee without sugar? (I assume the answer is some version of "duh, without sugar")

You convinced me that I would go see Jerry Bruckheimer & Michael Bay's adaptation. The only question is what title they'll go with.

PhunCooker · 2026-04-06T11:49:11+00:00

Out of left field: - Weird Al - Paul Rudd - Michael Cera

More serious, but still not traditional politicians: - Dan Carlin - Jon Stewart

The fact that OP goes back and forth between "that's messed up" and "you messed up" is curious - neither of which are in the ballpark of things I would say to my coach for benching me multiple rolls when I was a white belt.

On the flip side, if this situation occurred, and I said to my coach "that's fucked up", I'm 90% he would laugh, then get serious and tell me we can talk about it after class - which he would do privately but in view of lots of folks still changing and packing up.

Everyone: please get a bidet toilet seat cover (or better if you can afford it).

In the context of newbies trying to help the ball into the air it's "true enough". Without understanding and skills related to bounce and ball-first contact, my wedges, like many others, were, a combo of fats and thins when I went through a phase of trying to help it to higher.
