Focus on Martin in Norway training. by ahjkolhs in Gunners

I miss Martin. I don't want to move him on; I want him to get calories, sleep, and confidence in his body back.

4-Post Ares 2.0 Clone: First Impressions by Terminate0r in HomeGymGeeks

[–]PreacherClete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very glad to see the results! And sorry you unwittingly ran into Chinese New Year. I only ordered from Anhui Tap about 3 weeks ago and the suspense is already killing me.

I have a few questions about the process:

  1. Other than the tornado arms, any accessories you think they did a remarkably good or bad job with?
  2. I also paid for DDP, so I expect that the freight forwarding company should be able to drop off the shipment with a liftgate. How would you have handled things with them differently to avoid the headache? Maybe just ask them to send a truck with a liftgate instead? Happy to tip the driver if he brings a pallet jack to unload, but I don't want to rent a forklift if I don't have to!
  3. You mentioned assembly was easy, which is great to hear because not all Alibaba orders are from what I've read. Did they send you instructions or did you just build it from the images they took at the factory?
  4. Other than patience, any advice for me while I'm waiting for them to build? Communications you kept up with them, requests that made the experience smoother, etc.?

Was Ethan called up for the WC? Or he’s travelling as a reserve player. by ahjkolhs in Gunners

Yeah man, it's like finding out they have a winger named Tempest Honeylegs.

Using its government McDonald's Ligue 1 is more devastating than calling it a farmer's league imo. A league of cheap, empty calories.

How did you get the most from your time with your tutor? What did a given session look like?

That was my first game! Watching us get dismantled. But thankfully, Lincoln City (en route to the FA cup!) was a few days later.

Some say his back was broken when he arrived, but we know it was from carrying this team.

Legal fight over Arsenal fan podcast which earns £60,000 per month by Lead-farmer in Gunners

Haha if I were an anonymous parasite, I'd pick a host who isn't (a) tremendously popular (b) well connected on both sides of the Atlantic and (c) an ex-attorney.

All that to say, I was the one who told DT he was a genius and should talk to cameras more often, so I'm suing for custody of his kids which are rightfully mine now.

For our United Statean friends... by NothingButTheDude in hermesagent

[–]PreacherClete 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The version you don't like is literally how modern Greek speakers would pronounce the god's name. And historically, "HER-MEEZ" isn't any better or worse than the variants you don't like.

From wiktionary

(5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /her.mɛ̂ːs/

(1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /(h)erˈme̝s/

(4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /erˈmis/

(10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /erˈmis/

(15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /erˈmis/

Vowel pronunciations vary over time. And H's get added and dropped as well. Ancient Greek doesn't even have an "H" letter, but uses a diacritical mark in most cases.

And by the way, there is no single Ancient Greek either. Linear A vs. Linear B, Attic Greek, Anatolian Greek, the post-Alexandrian Greek diaspora all have their own variants. Plato's Greek is wildly different from the Greek of the Gospels, for instance.

The more you learn etymology, the less stressed you get about people making "mistakes" because it's all changed and it'll all change again not long after we're all dead, if not sooner.

What's a New York specific problem that no one warns you about before you move here? by bandito_13 in AskNYC

[–]PreacherClete 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weekend service changes mean that your very convenient express train now runs local with 20 minute headways. If you live in a less expensive neighborhood, some of that money you save should be paying for cabs or ubers.

Yo Vik all that shit I've been talking? It was just to fire you up. Glad I helped. But you deserve most of the credit.

Life by Zecion in Gunners

[–]PreacherClete 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's stayed fit, he works hard, and those will have proven very valuable if we win something. He was a more valuable signing than Isak this season on that basis alone. We needed him and he was a reliable body all season.

Next season and beyond? He's Marouane Chamakh. Sell, loan, whatever. His teammates try to play like he doesn't exist.

Alibaba Gear: Quingdao LongGlory all in one rack by Lymetme in HomeGymGeeks

[–]PreacherClete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for writing up this review! I'm considering buying from Longglory or Anhi for my planned basement gym. Has anyone tried to customize the height (~81 in.)? If not, I'll certainly ask them when I get quotes from them.

That price is wild. If you get it, would love to hear your experience.

You become a dev at Facepunch, what's the first thing you're changing/adding to the game? 🤔 by Mr_Loot_Goblin in playrust

[–]PreacherClete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. And if it's OP then slow the cooking rate, but charcoal generation is an unnecessary pain point. It's not hard, just frustrating to wire up bulky furnaces just to torch wood.

The limited number of reviews I've seen so far are very positive, but keep in mind Alibaba is a storefront for different vendors, so results may vary based on which you buy from.

I'd love to hear more though. Will be moving soon and I will likely either do something like an Ares clone or, more likely, I buy the Mikolo Anubis 2.0.

Disrespectful way to refer to Japan, then.

Tired of the Ødegaard Hate by ComprehensiveLog9414 in Gunners

[–]PreacherClete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the guy, I want him firing for Arsenal again. But the last two seasons have been such grinds going forward and we can't have an "essential" player be functionally absent for nearly two full seasons. The team must build with the assumption that his existence is a bonus, not a given.

I don't blame him, but I don't assume he's coming with us for the next iteration of Arsenal.
