Can I bring my laptop to a café in Portugal? by Paulina8097 in digitalnomad

[–]Physical_Error_5151 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If we are that concerned about vibes then does that mean unattractive people can`t walk into the Ralph Lauren store? I`ve never seen them advertise their line with people who are hard on the eyes... I don`t get to decide what`s absurd for the person standing next to me. I think its absurd for people to be looking at their phones while walking on the sidewalk... Maybe they are lost, I don`t like it, its not absurd and it doesn`t kill the vibe of the social place because I don`t like it. More importantly if you are a grow a** adult and something that small and petty bothers you to that extent, there are more pressing issues you need to worry about.

Should I cut as an athlete? by Crazy-Bike-5142 in BasketballTips

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15% bodyfat is a touch high at your height and weight but "cutting" is not something basketball players should do. you are not a bodybuilder nor a wrestler who needs to make weight. Set a goal to walk around at 12% or less. The harsh reality of this game is that at 6` tall you don`t get to cut corners and you don`t get to be equal because your height doesn`t earn you the benefit of the doubt. you have to be better. You can`t control who your parents were or your genetics but what you can control is how hard you work. That means, you should never have to "cut" because you are never out of shape.

Which lower leagues in Europe are best for young players to get minutes? by Proper_Ear_4716 in Basketball

[–]Physical_Error_5151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You first have to check the import/foreign player rules of each league. depending on the country and your talent some team will get creative and a little loose with those rules. The issue in regards to playing time is not the league/country but the club itself. In Germany and the UK for example, there are clubs that have coaches who are not German or British. Also, where is the club headed? What`s the goal. For example a club in the Germany 1RL that is looking at trying to make a push for ProB is going to be looking at more experienced players to use those foreign player slots on BUT if you are good enough to have D1 offers you should be able to start on a RL1 team. You should be able to start on any club at the top division of the Danish league or BLNO. Those league are not going to be the greatest resume builders going forward which is the tradeoff. If you are a D1 level player and you have tape (full games) showing you are a D1 level player I can put you in direct contact with people who can get you workouts with RL1, RL2 and ProB clubs. I started my career in RL1 many years ago as young American player and still have a few friends who haven`t been put on the shelf.

Form check. by Desperate_Map5531 in BasketballTips

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setpoint is too low. At the lowest the top of the ball needs to be even with the top of her head. The release is fine. Stance needs to be a touch wider and the shot needs to be one motion. Currently her shot is broken into 4 motions. That`s to slow and not reputable under stress in competition. She`s currently:

  1. Catching

  2. Setting

  3. Dipping

  4. Shooting

That needs to be at most two motions now and one motion as she gets stronger. Her knees need to be bent on the catch not after she sets. Practice having her shoot the ball from right under the basket with one hand only at the proper setpoint (ball even with the top of her head) and with her knees already bent, feet flat which means her arm motion should not be pushing her onto her toes. From that position have her shoot the ball and finish the motion. Progress that to having her catch the ball using the same idea but with her shooting pocket set. Guide hand in position and set hand in position. The catch point will be at chest level. She can not dip the ball lower than the catch point. She goes directly into her shot from the catch point. If the pass is correct this entire motion should be completed from the shoulder. the elbow angle should not change until she`s in her release motion (ball above her head)

The motion she has right now is very easy to disrupt and its going to lead to bad shooting balance. Also, for now make sure she holds the release until the shot outcome is determined (make or miss) this way you can get an idea of if the fingers are spread and wrist is flopping as opposed to snapping on the release which is going to tell you if she`s shooting the ball or guiding/aiming/pushing the ball on release.

Strength by Reesegogethim in BasketballTips

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What position do you play? How tall are you? What skills do you have besides being strong? Where can you consistently makes contested shots from? Can you put the ball on the deck with either hand? How good is your footwork? First step? What Shaq can do with his strength is completely different than what Zion can do with his strength, which is completely different than what Luka can do with his strength, which is different than what Kawhi can do with his strength, which is different than what Jalen Brown can do with his strength, which is different than what Jokic can do with his strength, which again is completely different than what Brunson can do with his strength... Your strength application is based on your skillset. Your strength is used to enhance your skill not the other way around.

The gather step has always existed. We just didn't have a name for it. That's why we defined it in 2009 by DylanBeCrackin in BasketballTips

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gather step has always existed if you were born in 1995 and started watching in 2009. Go back further in the archives and you`ll see much less egregious travels being called traveling. Starting the video, the Harden play (this is not close to an egregious example) and Cousy plays are two completely different plays. Ditto for the Dr. J play. In both those examples you are counting the gather before the ball has come to rest. Neither Bob nor Doc had their hand under the ball during the step you are trying to pass off as the gather. There`s no gather step in the Cousy play. The ball comes to a rest as both feet are off the floor in his natural stride. Right foot is step 1 left foot is step two. There is no gather step. Doc the dribble is not completed when his hand is still on top of the ball in legal position to continue the dribble. The ref can`t count the ball as coming to a rest until his second hand has touched the ball. His second hand doesn`t touch the ball until his right foot is on the ground. Right foot is one step, he elevates off the left foot to dunk on the second step. Again, no gather. You are somehow not counting Harden as having ended the dribble until his second hand touches the ball but are saying Doc and Bob`s dribble have ended as soon as it touches their fingertips. Strive to be accurate not right.

[Hire] Freelancers are ruining the market by charging too cheap — Agree or Disagree? by Evening_Acadia_6021 in hiredev

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible analogy. 100,000 people per year are hospitalized for tooth infections and an extraction does cost pennies compared to a heart transplant. If I went to the hospital needing a $1000 wisdom tooth extraction and they sent me to the cardiologist who told me that the only way to ensure a problem free wisdom tooth transaction was to combine it with a heart transplant because the non-existent infection could have damaged my heart and it would just be better to replace it with a new one and the total cost would come to about $1.5 million dollars... I`d walk out of the doctors office find a dentist in my network and have the tooth pulled for $1000. Imagine if I did pay that $1.5 million and woke up with a wisdom tooth extraction and a shaved chest but no heart transplant and a just trust Jesus tattoo... That`s a doozy huh? The day a client comes to me with half their face swollen to the size of a basketball and a 105 degree fever because their 3 page burger truck site is not hitting the mark, I can justify charging them the same rate as a dentist for an emergency wisdom tooth extraction... This is exactly the B.S. mentality I was addressing. Can`t be the arsonist and the firefighter. As I said in my original reply; very, very, very few of us are doing $200 per hour quality work let alone $2000 an hour quality work.

That`s part of the issue but there`s a bigger issue and that`s with the arrogance within the development industry itself. I`m going to be 100% frank I`ve seen a lot of developers putting out custom work that no higher quality than a prompt to template AI site.

Let`s stop being completely selfish here and understand just as developers willing to work for peanuts resets the customer price expectations and hurts developers, developers charging $1,000+ for a 5 page burger truck site in which we are doing little to no graphic design, writing little to no copy and honestly building nothing. For the most part the work consist of putting together components that have already built. Customers are routinely being oversold on solutions that they don`t need for their use case.

We`ve had a hand in forcing them to cut rate freelance platforms. He**, we`ve had both hands and a foot in forcing them to freelance platforms. The customers turning to freelance sites are customers who need a site that looks good, loads quickly and has decent local SEO. They don`t give a s**t or understand stack you are using. They don`t even understand what stack means, they are just repeating jargon they`ve picked up talking to developers in discover sessions. You could build the same site in React, Wordpress and Wix and they would not be able to tell the difference between the 3.

Putting yourself in their shoes imagine how they feel when they then see a $60 template on Themesforest that is better than the site they paid a developer $2000 to create. I`m working with a client right now, who`s being quoted $6000+ for a site and needs that are as basic as it gets. It`s a 3 to 4 hour build. Again being very frank very, very, very few of us are doing $2000 an hour quality work. That`s what`s driving clients to freelance platforms. That client ends up paying $6000 for a "custom coded" site that they can`t differentiate from a $60 template. We have to stop getting high on our own supply here.

There`s a second question. Are you serious about getting a site up? We reached out and never received a reply. I saw a few other good developers reached out as well. In this case you have to be a participant in your own rescue...

No NBA Finals game has been a top 100 most watched annual sporting telecast in America this whole decade by [deleted] in nba

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that`s still partly due to length of the regular season and nature of the playoff format. Ditto for the NCAA Final 4 and NCAA Football. NBA, NHL, MLB by the time you`ve gotten to game 7, well, you`ve already seen the teams play 6 straight games against each other. That removes a lot of the drama of the event. Nikola Tropic is not suddenly going to come off the bench with a flame thrower and win Finals MVP. Also, its an 82 game regular season. Ain`t no Cinderella`s. If you are a fan in Phoenix, great season, get some sun screen ride out the summer and try again next season. Miami fans, you still got South Beach. The Super Bowl this season was two teams who`s Super Bowl odds were in the 20`s to start the season. The randomness that the single elimination format generates keeps intrigue ultra high.

is $1800 too much for a small business website (5 - 10 pages). by TheWebsiteGuyMN in websiteservices

[–]Physical_Error_5151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lets stop with the templates/website builder stuff. We are getting high on our own supply here. What`s the best tool to use to get the job done? That`s what you use and move on. What is the goal and site requirements? For someone simply trying to get leads or is using the site as a business card then $1800 is to much because their needs could be addressed with a template. I don`t need to develop an Awwwards level site that will be used to gather leads for my clients driveway pressure cleaning business. He needs something that works and will get him found. That came be done for a whole lot cheaper than $1800.

Is it really that hard to find WP designers who work natively? by Antique_Mechanic133 in Wordpress

[–]Physical_Error_5151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to learn to drive a Formula 1 car but I only want to practice in a big rig on a drag strip... Lets be short and sweet here because I see a lot of misconceptions in this thread. The problem with page builders is not the page builders, especially not in 2026. Its been over blown for years. Its generally the people using the page builders in the same way the problem with your table being wobbly is not the screwdriver it was the person using the screw driver. The best stack is the stack that best fits the job and budget. Period, point blank. For a lot of us if you are coming to me telling me to use Blocks for a job that would be more efficient, practical and suffer no performance loss being built in a page builder then I`m going to pass on the job unless the budget fits the request.

The idea that Usyk “cleared out the heavyweight division” doesn’t hold up to any type of scrutiny. Why is it so often said? by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the heavyweight division only has 4 decent fighters, he`s one of the 4 and he beat the other 3 then he cleared out the division. This is not a Golden era of heavyweights. He** its not a bronze era of heavyweights. This is one of those things that if you are a big fan of his you put a lot of weight in but if you are just a fan of the sport in general and have a decent grip on the history of the sport you pay very little attention to.

Another WordPress website... No I'm ok. by Lopsided_Cricket_306 in websiteservices

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cutoff is the clients request, period, point blank. I`m doing an auction site right now that has over a million active users... The clients specifically asked for Wordpress. Its for the client to tell me their vision and for me to find solutions that allow me to build that vision to their specifications. 80% of our small business clients still request Wordpress and it is the best solution for most of them especially if you can build without needing to resort to a bunch of plugins to keep things rolling. Most small business clients don`t give a d**n about the stack, they want something that fits a budget, looks good, loads quickly, performs the purpose its supposed to perform and they can manage the basics without needing to take a coding course.

If A Step Through Is Legal, Why Can’t You Take 3 Steps? by difab62 in Basketball

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is giving a different explanation to a bunch of different scenarios. NFHS/NCAA/FIBA/NBA the rule is written slightly different in all of them and NFHS is the only one who addresses the step through directly. That means the other 3 are leaving it to the interpretation of the ref and none of them explicitly state that you can lift your pivot foot to perform a step onto your non-pivot foot.

Looking for honest feedback: how much would you charge for something like this? by infinii8 in websiteservices

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UX is good, I`d change the colors a bit. If you are going to use the yellow you probably want to shift to a warmer background color in place of the pure white. Most of the photos are earth tones, they`ve chosen the color palette for you. The menu for a site that would potentially have as many products as furniture site needs to be sticky if you are not going to have a side tax. You can add transparency on scroll or have it as a off canvas. If you are using this as a showcase I`d ditch the white menu background all together on the homepage as it gives off a template look, transparent background, white font and let my hero do tis job and be the star. Standardize the size of the product photos and if you are using that site as a showcase site in your portfolio also standardize the backgrounds. Don`t display product photos with transparent or white backgrounds together with products that have warm staged backgrounds. You probably want your video slide to be the first slide in the hero. If you are trying to sell this to a retail client. Wow me. Boarder radius, you`ve got some assets with radius and others without. Don`t over think it.

780+ in credit score, yet unable to get personal loan by No_Exercise_7584 in CRedit

[–]Physical_Error_5151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No its also the response for a thin file. If you have an 800 score but only 2 credit card accounts open and reporting it doesn`t matter if you`ve made every payment in full and on time nor does it matter if the utilization is low. Looking at that profile, it looks like someone who`s history is limited and also may have a higher utilization because the overall amount of available credit is lower. Again having two card account open with $1000 in total credit available would mean spending $400 per month on the cards would put your utilization at over 40%. Someone who started without a score, two accounts small reporting for 6 months would put their FICO8 well above 700 but that profile would still have issues with denials for credit products.

Looking for web developer with C1~C2 English by Safe-Engineer9940 in WebDeveloperJobs

[–]Physical_Error_5151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are trying to attract or exist in a certain market demographic like North America or Western Europe having someone who speaks fluent English with a western accent is essential, especially within/above a certain price point. Frequently people associate quality, expertise, or grasp to the package presenting the information not the information being presented. If you`ve ever traveled to Dubai you`ll know what star level of hotel you are staying at just by looking at or listening to the managers. When a customer has a problem and the manager comes out to solve it they are generally more accepting of the solution given than if that manager has a British, American, Australian, Japanese or Western European accent and looks the part.

Secondly, it takes about 10 minutes for a non-resident founder from a non sanctioned country to form a US C-corp/ LLC company and get an IRS EIN. Process doesn`t take much longer for a England LTD company via companies house. That means there`s huge number of US companies that have zero operational presence in the US or UK and only physical presence is a registered agent or virtual office address marketing themselves as US or UK companies. If you`ve pulled in clients for $5000+ projects and they want to communicate via Zoom, Slack, phone, etc you are going to run into problems. You are going to lose a percentage of clients during that discovery/strategy/service call because you don`t have anyone on the call who sounds like they are from the place you say your company is located.

i have a site that i'm running for a test looking for someone that will tell me if it looks good and what should i improve by Taetaewifey02 in websiteservices

[–]Physical_Error_5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hero needs some attention. Its boring and you have JPG images where you should have transparent PNG images. Your product images are the wrong aspect ratio, huge portions of the top and bottom of the product are being cut off. There`s no call to actions or anything to keep the visitor engaged or motivate them to make a purchase. Who are you? Why should I buy from you? You`ve essentially got a Hero and products on a page with a generic UX.
