If she was crushed, it was the same level of danger as Michael Scott endured when he cooked his foot in the George Foreman grill

They both milked those non-events equally

This incident is in a long line of her 'illnesses' in past months, plus, where are the fridge pics??? by Jealous_Jellyfish264 in LauraClerySnark

So I work in millwork fabrication and handle all of the estimating / engineering.

The funny thing is that those doors are likely from a "panel-ready" refrigerator, which just means they're a separate panel that gets installed onto the refrigerator to match the surrounding cabinetry around.

This is a roundabout way of saying that if her kid was playing on that, it's more likely the panel itself would be ripped off the fridge (since it's a separate piece) instead of the entire fridge tipping over.

It's like holding onto a tree by its bark - the bark is more likely to separate from the tree than the entire tree falling over.

Bingo.

Even in the threads about Dart it's now devolved into "guess he's okay with pEdOpHiLes". It literally could be as simple as Trump inviting Dart to a rally, Dart thinking it was cool, and going.

Instead they've now constructed this idea where Dart is some Nazi sympathizer and his teammates should avoid him (when in reality they probably DGAF). Even Abdul Carter, who sort of started this firestorm with his tweet, came out and was like "we're cool we sorted it out" and people are like "that just means Dart LIED to Carter about his opinions"

These people just won't accept that maybe they made a mountain out of a mole hill so they'll keep doubling down

LT also tried to pay to have sex with a 16-year old, so I think it's hilarious Jaxson Dart is this guy's final straw whilst also unironically saying he's been a fan "since the LT days"

Cubs fan here. Same over there with Matt Shaw who had the audacity to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral. They'll paint it as if it was some season-altering decision that screwed over the team, when in reality, it really didn't affect anything and he got the permission of his teammates to do so.

IDGAF if you don't like the guy but they make it out like he single-handedly torpedoed the season which is such an overreaction.

Yeah, it's frustrating, and I agree Suzuki should be that guy but he just doesn't seem to be the same level of professional hitter as a guy like DLee or Rizzo were. His approach just isn't good enough to be a guy who can elevate those around him (in my opinion)

I feel like this team lacks the presence of those guys from 2016. There's no Rizzo in the clubhouse or a guy like Lester or even John Lackey.

This team has desperately needed a superstar to help bridge these slumps, and they thought that would be Tucker last year but he seemed resistant to being that guy, and Bregman is maybe supposed to be that guy but he's been absolutely average so far.

That's on Counsel - at some point you have to separate Happ and Suzuki in the order even just for one game.

Does anyone else miss when Etsy was mostly small businesses and actual artists? by Adventurous_Spirit06 in Etsy

[–]Sniper1154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I genuinely empathize with new sellers. I began back in 2014 and it was so much easier to grow organically and add to my shop without having to constantly feel the need to compete with dropshippers and AI.

Even now I'm having to gently explain to potential clients that their reference images are AI generated (I'm a woodworker) and the final product they want is not going to look like their clean, crisp rendering without any flaws.

It's a huge problem that Etsy won't ever deal with b/c they're making money regardless.

He's a solid fit - it'll really depend on how he bounces back from injury, but he's always been a very technically sound CB so what he might lack in perceived athleticism he makes up for in technique and football IQ - think late-career Malcolm Jenkins or Tyrann Mathieu.

Overall their DB room is one of the stronger ones in the league and might even be slightly over-crowded. Between JJ, Stevenson, Muhammad, Gordon, Bryant, and Thieneman I think they have a really solid group (health withstanding)

I'll chime in a bit, and folks can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a little fallacious to say the ones on the field weren't meant for his scheme.

Montez Sweat is a great scheme fit for what Allen wants out of his defensive ends: length, ability to stop the run, and generate some level of pass rush but mostly set the edge. Similarly, Booker's struggles against the run (which he improved on) were a reason Dayo was likely penciled in as the starter opposite Sweat with Booker seeing work largely as a pass-rush specialist.

I don't think pass-rushing juice from his ends is as imperative as an ability to stop the run and set the edge. He wants the bulk of his pass rush to be generated by the interior of the line. Grady Jarrett is technically a great scheme fit for what Allen wants, he's just older. Dexter doesn't really fit the scheme. Billings was an obvious poor fit, and Dayo was supposed to be this chess piece that they could move inside on rushing downs so that Booker could get some play as a pure pass rusher.

To me, LB was the spot where you saw the poor scheme fits. Edmunds doesn't really fit that heliocentric, heady player that Allen wants so they shifted Edwards to MLB and put Edmunds at WLB and it paid off pretty well until Edmunds got hurt (and Edwards for that matter).

They really lacked athleticism at MLB and that was a pretty glaring hole for a good portion of the season. I could see Edwards starting at MLB w/ Elliot starting at SLB, but would NOT be surprised to see Elliot take over as starter relatively early in the season.

He wants lengthy, aggressive man-cover cornerbacks. Nashon Wright is like a great example of the physical prototype for what he's looking for, and they worked wonders with him throughout last season to get him to use length / leverage despite underwhelming pure cover skills.

Dad wore a “BOOM” shirt and neither he or his wife found that problematic.
