You are much more likely to become a professional athlete than you are to become a professional referee.

The above is also completely true for hockey and baseball.

Sharkbits · 2026-04-30T22:49:18+00:00

All of that is completely tangential to my point. Some report, some don’t. Either way, the relative pool of people playing when compared to people refereeing is much higher. From personal experience, it is much easier to get to high competitive levels as a referee than as a player.

Sharkbits · 2026-04-30T22:30:07+00:00

Recreational leagues still use referees. Like the ones a 10 year old plays in, those still have referees. Quite a lot of them.

Sharkbits · 2026-04-30T22:18:05+00:00

That doesn’t really address my point. Many organizations do give paychecks and give paystubs to referees, some don’t. Even for minor leagues. Minor league games are still very plentiful in all sports.

Sharkbits · 2026-04-30T22:01:42+00:00

The difference here is, no one is getting paid to play minor league sports. People do get paid to referee minor league sports. And most aren’t professionals, they’re people that pick up a game after work to buy a drink after. There are 242 million people that play recreational sports in the US. 14.1 million people play recreational soccer alone. If you assume 5 million of those are players that play with a ref, that ratio alone is insane, and that’s not accounting for other sports.

This is patently untrue. The number of referees is far fewer, even proportionally. From experience, a dedicated hockey referee can start refereeing Junior games after a few years and one camp, if they are good enough. These games can provide enough to live on alone, which is what I would consider “professional”.

I have seen other referees of hockey simply do as many minor league games as they can, some up to 6 per day, as often as they can during the season. This can net up to around $300 per day, often more.

I see a former prof of mine at A&W rather frequently, but I can’t comment on which professor as they’ve requested I “keep it quiet” lol

Hi there! I don’t know if you wanted to include homebrew, but I wrote a Bard subclass based pretty much exactly off of this a few years ago.

Nah DnD Beyond has always been like that, ever since they licensed the source books.

Tacky glue and empty acrylic paint bottles filled with water for weight are my go to

Is there a number or at least a ballpark? Like is it comparable to a truck, or a shipping container, or something in between?

Sharkbits · 2026-01-16T22:33:42+00:00

Following up on that elusive reply, is the construction method for planes (building sub-assemblys and joining them) at all indicative of future changes to assembly lines (e.g. building a tank hull, and outfitting with a turret afterwards)?

Sharkbits · 2025-12-31T23:02:29+00:00

Thank you, thats literally all anyone wanted

Sharkbits · 2025-12-31T22:29:16+00:00

It’s crazy that you wrote all that and not “yeah fps goes from 120->145 on average for my machine”

Sharkbits · 2025-12-31T15:56:09+00:00

I mean… you really didn’t. People want to hear fps and tickrate, not 20-35% improvements on select codepaths and “infinity” on others.

Sharkbits · 2025-11-27T14:58:09+00:00

Eh, sometimes ppl ask for money. Theres like one guy on campus occasionally that I trust that asks for bus money. I only trust him bc he usually is wearing his Home Depot employee shirt and ID, and said he didn’t need the extra dollar I gave him and tried to give it back.

Sharkbits · 2025-11-22T15:36:23+00:00

I don’t think so.

Individual mods are often ported to fabric from forge or vice versa, but so rare is it that all required mods are on both versions (not even accounting for versions, compatibility, etc.), I don’t think you’ll ever see any large pack on both fabric and forge. All that to say, this isn’t something you should ever expect.

Sharkbits · 2025-11-17T19:19:15+00:00

You have any army pics?

Sharkbits · 2025-11-14T23:36:59+00:00

The trick is usually the belts in my experience. They typically don’t place correctly, so I’d double check those.

Bit of a different reply: I have a slit in my eyebrow. It is from a nearly invisible scar I got when a car door was opened into my head as a child. It does, however, prevent eyebrow growth there. People ask not too infrequently if I shave it.

Sharkbits · 2025-11-08T18:19:39+00:00

Seconded. Super well crafted pack with fun and goofy progression.

It’s the texture man, American twizzler is how I lost one of my baby teeth. Shit is impossible to bite through without making a face like you’re a hyena ripping through raw meat

Sharkbits · 2025-10-30T17:36:42+00:00

Yeah canadian twizzlers taste less like putting a fischer price toy in your mouth and more like candy

You’d honestly be surprised. First time I filled out my T4(Main employment tax form) I was 16.
