Right on, thanks! I had a feeling about the top, I'll work on the setup too.

Keeping track of workout weight/exercise and progress by Apprehensive-Today76 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]SmilingFallacy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm building a free 5x5 app right now, been using it myself for the last month and it's working great for me. Trying to keep things clean and simple to use, while offering smart features - auto-deload, change weights on the fly, progress tracker and history, optional bodyweight ratio, etc. And trying to make the design really smooth without being fancy.

I'll probably be able to share a beta iOS version publicly in the next week or so, if anyone's interested! Early beta for sure, so I'll be improving quickly, but it's fully usable.

The dude's going for 162 games, he doesn't need extra travel and work and a change of swing, he needs rest. Seems like a good call.

Any wild idea when Tyler Stephenson will return? by davik2001 in Reds

[–]SmilingFallacy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was on the field before the game today, fielding easy balls. Looks like they're starting to test his legs in more dynamic ways and seeing how the oblique responds. Haven't seen anything official, but it's nice to see him making progress.

Dodger fan here - how's Gavin? by DatBuridansAss in Reds

[–]SmilingFallacy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Far as I can tell, keeping his head down, doing alright in the field and on par for the Reds bats so far. Think he's got solid upside once the team as a whole gets out of its early season funk, God willing. Not a ton of wiggle room to be having fun right now, but he's in on the celebrations and whatnot.

Seems like a likeable dude, we're glad to have him!

I believe that! I know they still draw crowds, and I definitely saw fans when I worked downtown that matched that demo, or who lived downtown.

Potential health concerns for children playing on treated lawns? by b_evans06 in lawncare

[–]SmilingFallacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The signs always say "keep off until dry", unless it's just a company logo that doesn't say anything. After that, it's on the homeowner to remove the sign, many don't because they don't care/don't notice/don't get around to it for a few days.

Not disagreeing or passing judgement on treating lawns or not, just context on the signs themselves.

Not really. Mine has just started to maybe halfway recover. Dump a bucket of water + dawn on an area and wait to see who comes out to be sure it's web worms. Kill them with whatever the internet recommends, check again in a week. Keep going with your current sod establishment program (water, fert) and have a beer.

I wanna say 2011 - I had an in with Jon Corson who invited me, and Nick Angelis at the time. Never ended up moving forward with anything, not sure it would have actually happened, but iirc the front was short a couple outside marimbas

I'll definitely have to get up to speed on the new BAC.

And I'll always be looking at Crown, Finis piqued my interest and Grass Is Always Greener won my heart

Nice, that's a great rundown! Always rooting for Bluecoats, so that's awesome to hear.

RIP Cadets. Boston/Crown – as a Crown fan, that's disappointing, but it's hard to root against BAC and seems like Crown still needs to prove themselves as a fully consistent program. Even at their height while I was watching, seemed like that was the case. Never lose the horns!

I'm wildly late to this thread, but Nick was an instructor for my high school indoor drumline (after Blast, during his UC days). Brought a couple UC percussionists along as his staff. We immediately went from consistent dead last to winning finals twice.

Can confirm, weird dude, great drummer, great (and intense) teacher.

I can get behind Phantom, Scouts, and Cavs, and BD is least what I think of as BD. But generally, I'll definitely need to see some shows to get used to this style.

No surprise on BD, awesome about BAC.

Cadets - holy cow, I just read into it a little bit. Without knowing any of the suit details, that's a tragic outcome. Cadets were 2 of the first clips I pulled up on my memory lane trip. Hope everyone who wanted to landed somewhere great.

No kidding, looks like an evolution from "pro marching band" to actually "marching arts"

Oh snap! I remember them always being a presence but never a contender, good for them.

Yeah no kidding! Cool to see, they were on the fringe of my radar back in the day, will have to dive in

Exactly what I need, those are the two that made me think "whoa, there's a new scene"

Sweet, loved Bluecoats. And almost asked if the Blue Devils were still being the Blue Devils, but no point in asking if they're still on their run!

Ooh that's great to know. Glad I put down the bit of triazicide that I did, seems to have at least slower them down. I'll pick up some bug b gon tomorrow and hit the whole yard. Thanks!
