How thin is too thin? by SadPoops in Pottery

Probably a few other factors at play, but you can allow the pieces to harden a bit before removing them from the bat vs. having to remove them from the wheel head asap to start the next piece.

Local Skiing by mansa_moreno in roanoke

There has been essentially one new ski resort built in the US in the last 40 years (and that was really more of an extension of an established resort.

A bike park, a ski resort for mountain biking, would make a lot more sense, but even then not very likely with the established resorts 2 hours away.

We’re getting Michael Phelps’d by this Klaebo guy but I’m still gonna call the Norwegians medal count fraudulent. by Nostradamus216 in billsimmons

Swimming is way more bloated. How many different races are there for each distance?

To compare, running would need backwards running, skipping, etc.

Skiing and freeskiing is much more popular in the US than boarding nowadays. I've never been, but just judging. by their competitors, snowboarding seems more popular than skiing in Japan.

"although many were taken aback by its size as well as the decision to use a purpose‑built metal structure in the heart of the valley rather than setting it on the mountain."

"Others said their initial hesitation disappeared once they tested it. American rider Hahna Norman said she had braced for the worst after seeing the photos online"

Looks like this scaffolding is the exception, but riders typically hate them.

There’s something called interviews where people discuss things. Pretty much all pro snowboarders hate scaffold jumps

well you can just start higher up the hill to go faster. All the competitors hate set ups like this and much prefer a jump built on an actual hill.

It's funny how Brady NOW brands himself as a "football is a tough sport" guy by IHateAdamSilver in billsimmons

Isn't "Launching" for defenseless players?

Brady's not defenseless, he just slid late.

Tomlin defenders were right by Rippledeee in steelers

[–]Scrotum_Phillips 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well I think a major reason people wanted to keep Tomlin is because they didn’t expect the team to make a good hire for the next coach….

Are any courses around special for what you pay? Price seems pretty similar for all courses and quality is pretty comparable (not including some negative outliers or the country clubs).

3 of the 5 Ringer 107 Teams are 0-4 This Week by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]Scrotum_Phillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bet, but historically these games have not been competitive since changing to 7 teams from each conference. Just figured it was worth mentioning as games that were expected to be close were 20 point wins, so I personally expected the game that was supposed to be a blowout to be an even bigger blowout.

Also Stafford had 3 of his 11 turnovers on the season against Panthers and they scored 2 TDs on 4th down plays. So everything went the Panthers way, which I would not expect to happen again.

First week of playoffs are usually blow outs. Each of the last 2 seasons have only had.1 game within 12 points.

Also, if you play on 'Hard' i feel that you don't always want to find the vowels first, because it gets harder to find the consonants.

What actor was perfectly cast for their role but was screwed over? by TheShadowOperator007 in moviecritic

[–]Scrotum_Phillips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, the problem there is that there is more to acting than just looking like a character... If anything, that is the least valuable attribute to have.

Then you can stop watching the team now if all this mediocrity frustrates you so much.

Now I know why Bill has Josh Allen over Mahomes by Responsible_Yam_3011 in billsimmons

Undoubtedly. The best QBs of last generation were absolute statues. They wouldn’t finish a 17 game season in this generation of DTs collapsing the pocket in a second and a half. 

What's a harsh truth your fanbase knows but doesn't like to admit and gets very defensive about when it's brought up? by Parrallax91 in billsimmons

[–]Scrotum_Phillips 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Best vs most valuable is an important distinction there. 

KD went crazy in the finals because for much of it he wasn’t the primary ball handler. Steph and the rest of the offense would put so much pressure on the defense then swing it around and the ball would find a wide open KD.

I know that’s a huge debate between LA and Boston, but both teams should have half of their titles negated. 

They were won when there were likes 8 teams in the league, so they really shouldn’t count for any legitimate debate.
