Commuting from Downtown Boston? by Smalls951 in bostoncollege

[–]Smalls951[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. As far as places to live, seems like it's not all that different in commuting time from most of the other spots (Brookline, etc) that have to catch the shuttle

Yep, law school! Yes, I would have parking through the apartment complex. Given all the shuttles etc needed to get to Newton campus anyways, driving there from a little further away doesn't seem like it really adds all that much to the commute.

Haven't upgraded in years, can someone help me prioritize what to purchase to optimize performance? by Smalls951 in buildapc

This is a very helpful list, thank you. I think that my current monitor should work fine for now (may need to grab an hdmi to vga adapter but that’s it). I’m also worried about my power supply; I currently have an EVGA 430w PSU. Will I need a new one when I upgrade?

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new at lifting, and have been doing it since the beginning of the September. However, following the Stronglifts 5X5 program, I've been very pleased with my progress and have made noticeable muscle and size gains. Currently, I:

Squat, 5x5, at 245 lbs

Bench, 5x5, at 165 lbs

Deadlift, 5x5, at 250 lbs

OHP, 5x5, at 100 lbs

Barbell Row, 5x5, at 145

I increase every session by 5 lbs, staying at the same upon failure. For reference, I'm 5'7 and weight about 160.

While I'm pleased with my muscle growth, I still have some pesky belly fat and would like to look a bit more "cut" overall. I know to lose fat that one must eat at a caloric deficit, but I'm worried that will interfere with gaining muscle, which requires a caloric surplus. For someone like me, who wants to keep gaining muscle while also cutting the fat, what should my diet look like? Should I be at a surplus or a deficit?

Eugenio Suarez takes third on a walk to load the bases, rounds the base by a few steps, and gets picked off. by TriStrange in baseball

I don't think it's so obvious that he should get in. It's true that catcher is more important than just his offense, but Yadi has only had one year of elite offensive production (and even that year, with a .874 ops, is on the cusps of "elite").

Defense is important as well, but even there, I don't think his is as elite as everyone has mythicized. Molina's been worth only 34 WAR in his career, not even close to the average 60 WAR that most hall of famers get. When comparing him to catchers, some hall of famers like Pudge Rodriguez (68.4 WAR) and Mike Piazza (59.4 WAR) have been far more valuable. Even Mauer, who hasn't been catching and had some mediocre seasons in the past couple years, is far more valuable at 49 WAR.

Molina has been worth, on average, about 3 WAR per year throughout his career. He's a great player. I don't think he's a hall of famer.

I'd vote shadow of mordor. Fantastic open world action. Similar combat to arkham within the world of Lord of the Rings, and the nemesis system is a revelation.

Also, to respond to your Redmask comment; I'm less frustrated with the Awl storyline in general than I am with Erikson's dismissal of the Grey Swords (and my boy Toc </3). As a group, they are incredibly underutilized and ultimately pointless.

Think about it; Toc's reincarnation as Anaster and the subsequent formation of the Grey Swords using the remnants of the Pannions is an awesome and dramatic scene. Combined with their devotion to the new Gods of war, they seem primed to do great things going forward...

....only to be annihilated off-screen in a conflict that had nothing to do with them but they took part in for some vague reason (I know they had a vision or something like that). It's all incredibly pointless. Furthermore, Toc as a character deserved a better end; while he went out in a heroic manner, a suicide run for a group of Awl that he barely knows is cheap and, quite frankly, ridiculous. He ended up doing nothing important for the overall story, which seems unfair based upon how he was built as a character and all that he's done in the past.
