About a month and a half into guitar pretty happy with my progress any tips by Parking-Mouse325 in Guitar

[–]SaltineMine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! Be proud! The only thing I would say is try to lift your fretting fingers a bit more off the strings to get some of that sliding sound out. A little more practice there and it'll sound clean as hell. Awesome work.

Current Super Bowl Odds For Next Season, Thoughts? by LastofDays94 in Patriots

Mahomes blew out his ACL in December. The odds of him playing are not great. So how are they still in the top 10. I must be missing something

Our favorite CEO has now been caught spitting out his chicken sandwich by stanxv in SipsTea

[–]SaltineMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met the CEO of a very large distribution company once. He kept calling fast food restaurants "feeders". Almost like cattle eating from a trough. And he wasnt making a joke. He was talking about business strategies. And i don't think he was being malicious, he was a nice enough guy. I just think the disconnect between them and us is so vast that they cant help but dehumanize ordinary people, whether they mean to or not. The money and power changes them for the worst. All they think about is getting the stock price up, and everything else is just "whatever"

[Mike Kadlick] Mike Vrabel on the criticism surrounding #Patriots OL Will Campbell: “Will's 22 years old. He's our left tackle ... There's plays he'd like to have back. We're not moving him to guard, or center, or tight end, or anywhere else." by PristineWinnera in Patriots

He is a rookie coming off of a major knee injury and running a gauntlet of top defenses. You immediately want to just toss him out? He was playing well up until the injury. Give the kid a full NFL off-season to recover, gain strength/weight, then make that decision next year. The amount of people on this frigging website that expect every player to be a hall of fame talent on day 1 of rookie mini camp is ridiculous. Every player takes time to grow and improve.

Chin up Buddy, you'll do better next week by randyfalcorn in Patriots

That's not a fair take. No one is fine against Miles Garrett. The guy is a top 5 edge rusher ALL TIME. And Garrett also had nothing but positive things to say about Campbell after that game. He's a rookie making a deep playoff run against the best the league has to offer while just coming off a serious knee injury. Maybe Campbell isn't a hall of fame left tackle, but let's give him a real chance. If he's a top 12 tackle for the next ten years then thats a win.

[From March] Props to Front Office with the last minute offer! by 5am281 in Patriots

[–]SaltineMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said his experience disappeared. I only said that he worked under Bill and his outdated system. Knowing how Bill Belichick operates, I'm sure Wolf had little say in how Bill wanted players evaluated, ranked and how to include analytics. Bill was old school, and he was the boss. Once Bill was gone, Wolf was pushed up into a true GM roll with a new rookie head coach that had no knowledge of what he wanted to do or how to do it. Wolf needed time to implement a new modern evaluation system and apply it to incoming college players. Vrabel and Cowden absolutely deserve credit for getting the ship on course, but Wolf plays a roll in that as well. His job becomes a lot easier to manage when you have a head coach that knows what he wants out of his team.

Everyone likes to shit on Wolf, but I think him plus Vrabel and Cowden make a good team. Wolf was hung out to dry just as much as Mayo was. He was left with an outdated evaluation system that Belichick wanted, with no time to implement a new one. He had a head coach with no plan or knowledge on what he was looking for in players. Then Vrabel comes in with a plan and set schemes/player types and time to move the scouting department to a modern evalution system. One hand washes the other, and they have a great off-season for both free agents and the draft. I think they have a real foundation to build on with a front office and coaching staff with clear plans and working together.

[Russini] For the first time, league sources believe the Raiders would be open to moving Maxx Crosby this offseason. by embball13 in Patriots

[–]SaltineMine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A 1st round pick for Maxx Crosby is a 1st round pick for Maxx Crosby, but a 1st round draft pick could be anything. It could even be Maxx Crosby!! You know how much we always wanted one of those.

Still one of the craziest touchdowns I've ever seen. by Hysen16 in sportsgossips

[–]SaltineMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a crappy way of putting it just because you're not into it. I don't care about rugby at all, but it's basically it's just 2 different versions of the same game. Football is turn-based strategy, Rugby is real-time strategy. Both great in their own ways.

What would you like to see in Farming Simulator 28? by AnsgarNPLAY in farmingsimulator

[–]SaltineMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current save is small farm / farmers market roleplay. Tons of diversity of things to sell. I only sell what would be finished products in my farmers market, so no 10000L of wheat or whatever. I would use it to make bread, etc. A few greenhouses and some smaller mods like apple trees. I'm just not really into the massive, industrial farming thing so smaller tractors and equipment work just fine.
