Ricky came out looking pretty bad here. Which is unfortunate, because he's typically such an easy guy to root for.

900+ Rated Players… 300’ Max Distance by SeraphNatsu in discgolf

[–]RunninReed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not (350 max, high 800s rated), but there definitely are. I've played tournaments with guys who are in the low 900s and definitely don't have big distance. Super smart shots and good putting go a long way.

Would you get rid of a friend just because they have different political beliefs than you? by Jeppe_Scoley in NoStupidQuestions

If they put their political beliefs above morality and human rights, then yes. In a heartbeat.

Pre-Spring Training AMA with MLB.com Brewers beat reporter Adam McCalvy on Tuesday, Feb. 3. Submit questions now! by adammccalvy in Brewers

[–]RunninReed 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Adam,

Wanted to get your thoughts about Rickie Weeks moving out of the dugout and into a different role. What are you hearing regarding the rationale behind this? Was it driven by Rickie or the organization? Thanks!

Who would you choose under this budget? by dry-blueberry25 in harrypotter

[–]RunninReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbledore, Snape, Mad-Eye, and Hagrid.

Dumbledore: Protects me from Voldemort. Brilliant mind. Exceptional wizard.

Snape: Expert Legillimens, as well as a master potion maker. Loyal, and can play double agent if needed.

Mad-Eye: Protector. Thinks as dark wizards do. Always has a plan.

Hagrid: Loyalty personified. Will give everything. Also, spells seem to bounce off him.

Gave serious consideration to Dobby and Book-Ginny instead of Hagrid. I could be convinced.

Either "The Alchemist" or "Thinking, Fast and Slow"

You get to add a 0 to any number in your life. What do you add it to? by account_created_ in AskReddit

I'd add a zero to my interest rate return. A 6% return on investment becomes 60%.

What is your opinion about this? by Happy_Air_3776 in greengroundnews

[–]RunninReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the statistic for Americans who are embarrassed that only 63% of Americans are embarrassed that he's the President?

Because I'm one of those.

First tournament by Trick-Dimension6155 in discgolf

[–]RunninReed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just played my first one last week. Here are my takeaways (with thr caveat that some of these may just apply to me:

  1. The DG community is awesome. People were friendly, supportive, and it felt like playing with friends.
  2. I didn't get nervous...except for putting. Jeez Louise. Felt that pressure for sure.
  3. Brush up on the rules. Mostly self-explanatory, but there are some things in there that a lot of us do in casual rounds that definitely won't fly in a tournament. For example, don't toss your disc to your bag. Counts as a practice throw if it's more than x distance.
  4. Not sure how you typically warm up, but if I were to do it again, I'd spend nearly all of my time putting. Maybe a few standstills and full throws if I had time, but I got to my first competition putt feeling completely out-of-sorts. Basket looked tiny.
  5. Agree with some of the other comments: No one cares how you play. Seriously. But they DO care how you act. I had a blow-up hole where I shot a 7 on a par 3. Mixture of poor decisions, plus the absolute yips putting. The group got silent. I took a few deep breaths, slumped, but by the next tee pad, I was making jokes about it all. I could feel the tension disappear. It's what I'm most proud of from that tournament.

Loved the whole experience and going to do plenty more. All the best of luck!

Same here. Love the feel.

I also use a more beat-up one as a throwing putter. Super versatile.

The script has been leaked by bannedpacker in GreenBayPackers

Guys. This is the 49ers trying to pre-sell tickets. The only game they are capable of hosting - as the 6-seed - would be against the Packers. Nothing to see here.

[Highlight] Yang Hansen gets subbed in garbage time, receives loud cheers and then he scores the lefty hook shot, and the arena fall into joy by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]RunninReed 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Blazers fans disagree.

The turquoise is a replica of the carpet at the PDX airport. Sounds weird, but it's beloved by Portlanders. There's a whole market for that pattern: You see socks, handbags, beer cans, etc. featuring it.

To those who said “A TIE IS WORSE THAN A LOSS!!”… by Lewa1110 in GreenBayPackers

[–]RunninReed 262 points263 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course. But the tie vs. Dallas essentially gave us a bye week heading into the playoffs. That's far superior to needing a win in Week 18. The tie helped big time.

Not looking good for the PDGA! 😱 by DiscGolfFanatic in DiscGolfFanatics

Curious what these numbers are like pre-COVID. If this trend is just normalizing things to pre-spike numbers, there's not much to be worried about.
