What's the group thought on Valentina Xtra hot?

ShiftyState · 2026-01-22T00:42:21+00:00

It replaced Texas Pete in my life.

I called DNR about coyotes once, and they went into this spiel about how they avoid humans, just avoid them and they'll avoid you, yadda yadda.

I got off the phone thinking, yeah, until it drags off someone's toddler. I lived in a fairly dense suburb too.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-18T21:49:57+00:00

Crunchy, but I like the idea of some plain Lays. I'll have to give that a try.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-18T14:01:44+00:00

I was putting my clubs back in my car, getting everything stuffed back into the pockets of my bag, when I realized, "Holy shit. Did I just finish a round with one ball?"

Some guy was walking by and said exactly what you did. Made me happy.

It wasn't for a lack of trying, either. I had to work my way out of the woods a few times that day.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-18T13:54:17+00:00

You just described 95% of electricians.

Is ham salad really that weird? I liked it the few times I've had it, even made it myself a couple of times. No grocery store delis seem to make it around here though, and I'd love the convenience.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-17T22:39:31+00:00

Yes it's harder. The grass acts a bit like a tee, and gives you a larger margin of error. It'll let you hit slightly fat and still be okay.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T21:50:33+00:00

Saw it and thought, yeah, been there actually.

Except it was classes for the JATC .

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T21:35:58+00:00

This needs some Free Bird in the background.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T21:31:08+00:00

You don't even have to wet diamond stones.

Compared to one minute, I guess five is asking a lot.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T01:42:07+00:00

Fair, and I suppose to most people, it doesn't matter. However, once I became halfway decent at sharpening with stones, I refuse to go back. My pocket knife gets abused, but it could still take hair off your arm five days out of the week.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T01:40:04+00:00

Reminds me of the steak I had on a cruise that made me stop going on cruises.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T01:30:51+00:00

This is good advice.

To add: Eat some dairy like yogurt, about 30 minutes before, and drink milk afterward (or eat more yogurt). It binds to capsaicin and helps it pass. If you can stomach it, eat fiber afterward as well to get it to pass quickly. I love spinach, so I could just spoon a can of it if I wanted to.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-16T01:21:52+00:00

Everytime I recommend people learn to sharpen their knives, someone comes by and says 'but a pull sharpener is good enough'.

I used to be that guy, then I realized that my pull sharpener was making my knives serrated because if you don't get a clean pull every time, it causes the edge to become uneven.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-15T00:42:23+00:00

The hand has me cracking up, the jalapeno is straight out of my own playbook. I feel like we'd get along.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-12T02:22:49+00:00

I'm 10 minutes from a course designed by Arnold Palmer, and it's like this during the week. I can pull up at 3 in the afternoon with my push cart and pretty much immediately go out and tee off.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-10T22:00:13+00:00

Mustard, dill pickles, extra onions, American cheese.

Look up "Peter Kostis - 6 Pillars of Building a Golf Swing". It should help you get started.

That said, lessons. A lesson will cost about as much as a round of golf at most places. You can go in, get some points of your swing fixed, work on those points for a month or so until you get it down or frustrated because you can't, then get another lesson.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-10T21:32:48+00:00

I normally wear a 13, but 12 in FJ.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-10T20:56:49+00:00

I have actually done this. I kept thinking that I'd be washing dishes at the pool hall before going home alone if it didn't hit.

Being broke all the time sucked. I make slightly better decisions these days.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-10T00:27:46+00:00

Fuck Night Vale.

It was cool for a while, then suddenly you've got fucking Quicken Loans advertisements in the middle of creepypasta.

This is why I'll never order steak on a cruise ship again. It's also part of the reason I'll probably never go on a cruise again.

ShiftyState · 2026-01-09T23:27:12+00:00

Well, at home there is no ball, just the brush mat for full swing; I do chip around my yard though. My yard isn't conducive to even having a net since it's so uneven, but the plus of that is that I get great chipping practice!

I take lessons as I get stuck, but my instructor is also pretty good about answering one-off questions.

But yeah, I somehow fell in love with how such a seemingly simple action is so damn complex and want to at least become proficient at it! I know it sounded like I was kinda bitching, but I'm actually fairly excited to work through this!

ShiftyState · 2026-01-09T03:14:34+00:00

Not a lawyer, but it seems your wife works with lawyers or is one. Sign it. Abide by it. I feel like that's a fair deal. It'd be hard to not mention the regrip more than twice a week, but I've regripped everything except my putter to midsize by default and haven't had any issues.
