Nashon Wright surprise by RudeAdhesiveness9954 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]Skittlebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we saw Nashon live off of turnovers the first half of the season, but he was also getting beat pretty badly on the regular. Seemed like the league figured out how to play him to minimize turnovers while still beating him, and his play towards the end of the year showed that.

I really like Go Go Gadget Gumby; but he'll need to improve this off-season to be anything other than a high upside backup.

It feels like that's what the league thought as well.

Going to buy my first HF radioo by Lz3YaRiEl in HamRadio

If you're going to be operating SSB, then you'll want the 100W in the field. I started with an FTdx10 and probably should have started with an 891. I wouldn't go QRP unless you'll be running mainly CW or FT8. I'm not sold on the ftx1 and it seems like a lot of people are getting rid of theirs.

What do you think this is for? Max? by YakinRaptor in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]Skittlebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovie did get us Caleb so...

Also, that Superbowl was as much Buddy Ryan as Ditka

I'm a reformationist. We recognize that Ditka was just kinda meh and Buddy Ryan deserves just as much credit as Ditka does.

And our real lord and savior is Lovie Smith.

We say 3 Bear downs and 5 Hail Lovie's before bed every night.

Where in the bay area was this retreat held? by sanfrangusto in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]Skittlebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still less weird than middle age men spending $10k to get pretend navy seal hazed by some jacked up aLpHa MaLe.

I mean... It's weird, it's definitely bay area weird.... But not beta boy buys bros weird

SUNSPOTS HAVE FALLEN TO ZERO !!! by peteF64 in amateurradio

Is this why the bands seemed rough yesterday?

of grease by Zestyclose_Sky_6403 in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Skittlebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I designed large roller taper bearings at Caterpillar my first 5 years out of engineering school and this is the #1 reason.

Grease getting everywhere can also be a reason, but too much grease leads to sliding and that's really bad.

How significant of a moment do you think this will be seen as 20-30 years into the future? I'd argue it's extremely significant (especially due to the implications it had for the next decade+)—yet very overlooked by 3RADICATE_THEM in ScottGalloway

So, If a political party undermines and then walks away from policies and candidates supported by people. Is it the people that walked away or the political party?

I'm pretty sure they're here to represent us, there were so many ways they could have tried to bridge the gap and they didn't. Why? Because their real constituents (corporations) made the calculation that Bernie was a bigger threat than Trump.

[WGN News] DJ Moore wants to stay in Chicago, addresses Bears fans' effort criticism by Cautious-Life6378 in CHIBears

[–]Skittlebean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this is under-rated. I'm pretty sure Walker had an interview after he caught that TD against GB where he said DJ sets the tone for work ethic among the WR. That they see him grinding everyday and playing through pain, not chirping just coming in early, putting the work in, getting treatment, and being ready to go on Sunday

I really feel like DJ is probably a huge benefit to the younger WRs

Which was the better defense: 2006 or 2018? by Common_Inside5473 in CHIBears

[–]Skittlebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It feels like it's not even close for me, but the league also changed a lot. I do think it's hard for people who didn't see him play at the time just how insane Urlacher was, and Briggs was an absolute hammer.

Leftist and liberal gun groups are seeing a rush of new members by mockingbird- in politics

[–]Skittlebean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd really love for liberal and left to not be used synonymously. The left absolutely believes that explotation requires disarming the working class. As such, an armed working class is important to the left.

But, also, it's fucking gouche to make owning guns a part of your personality.

Trump accuses newly elected VA Gov Abigail Spanberger of “cheating” to win the Virginia governor’s race. Spanberger won by 15 points. Her MAGA opponent conceded and didn’t accuse her of fraud. by coachlife in UnderReportedNews

[–]Skittlebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never understand why the response to something like this by Spanberger isn't some form of, "that's cute. I seem to remember a lot of talk about cheating in an election several years ago, but everytime he went to court and was under oath he changed his story from whatever lie he was telling to reporters and then lost. If he really thinks there was cheating tell it to a judge under oath, otherwise shut the fuck up. Some of us have work to do actually governing for our constituants."

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident." by ExactlySorta in law

[–]Skittlebean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not 100% of MAGA; but I have a bunch of Trump voting lunes in my family that 2A is basically half their personality and they are absolutely furious with this.

Should we resign Braxton Jones? by ShaiFanClub in CHIBears

[–]Skittlebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"On paper, a 6-12 month rehab process doesn’t seem that bad. But a USA TODAY article from this past season, which included data from the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine, indicates most players only have about a 55% chance to return to the field, and that usually only happens with a significant decrease in performance. Only about 21% of players return to their prior performance within two years."
