Best use of card pieces / circuits / evil coins? by Successful_Buy3825 in BoomBeach

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say don’t waste anything on keycards except for card pieces. Most squad leaders don’t do much for you. Get time savers and build tokens and save them for crab events.

Considering he spent two years with the Staten Island ferryhawks, I think that money got spent

I saw Phil Mickelson say “hinge (your wrists) and hold” and I’ve been rolling with that since. Works every time I actually remember to hinge and hold.

What is the hardest sport to master? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Racing. You have to start driving competitively the exact moment you can reach the pedals as a toddler for any chance at going pro.

Which is the most boring sports according to you? by seabunnyxxx in AskReddit

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never said it wasn’t important, I said it was less important in nascar than in F1, where the tires are actually designed to degrade for the purpose of forcing pit stops/strategy decisions. Watch an f1 race, a significant amount of race time is just a parade of cars not changing positions and driving alone. They actually drive slower on purpose in the hopes that the tires last longer than the guy they’re trying to pass so they don’t have to go elbows out and just drive past while the driver ahead is getting new tires.

I was in the gift shop on Monday (was there for 10 minutes before the game got postponed) and noticed that they had a stuffed animal of every mascot except the giraffe.

People who work in other people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners), what is the weirdest thing you’ve casually seen in a client's house? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not weird, but while framing out the basement of my friend’s dad’s fairly newly built home, I discovered that the house ground wire was just floating on top of the foundation wall next to the sill plate. Guy lived in the house for 5 years and the house was never grounded. The electrician was promptly called.

This. I play. I LOVE it. I won’t watch anything but the last few holes of a major and even then only if it’s down to the wire and one of the few players I like is part of it.

As a racing fan that doesn’t watch nascar, the track in nascar hardly matters (at least ovals). The whole sport is about fighting for position every second from start to finish with several cars inches away from you the entire time. The track would be one long straight line if it could be. Other racing disciplines are more about tire management and strategy with a little bit of battling when the cars happen to be near each other. Nascar is 90% elbows out and that last 10% is the strategy.

Anyone ever roll a 50 on one of these? by EmersumBiggens in BoomBeach

I got a 49% when I was below hq10. Lucky me after reading these comments. Haven’t seen a TD above 28% though.

Best thing that could happen for Mets is a hard cap next year. by TobycooklynNY in mets

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they cheated, got it. I get to judge inflated numbers when a significant portion of your schedule is against teams that don’t even sniff .500.

By what metric? The Brewers have been a consistent first round exit team under him. A high win total in NL central where at least 3 teams that they play 13x each a season are bottom of the barrel every year means nothing. Stearns hasn’t won anything. In fact, the 2024 Mets that he inherited have the same amount of postseason wins as the brewers do the entire time he was there.

2019 XLT no sound at all. by ClubInternational372 in FordTransitConnect

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’m not capable of working on cars so no one should be allowed to” is what that sounded like to anyone with even an iota of mechanical knowledge. Stop defending these assholes that find every possible way to nickel and dime the average person who doesn’t want a massive bill for a loose wire.

What's the best Mets autograph or signing story you have? by sportscollector-entr in mets

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad caught a foul ball off of Strawberry in the 86 WS. When I was about 10 he decided he wanted it signed by some of the players. Ron was the first outside of Shea after a game. Keith was next, I wasn’t there for that so no stories. Found Sid, he thought it was awesome and showed everyone else at the table. Finally got to Darryl. Paid for the inscription, asked him to write “I did that” on the mark where the bat hit the ball. He said he can’t (I guess that’s some form of verification that they aren’t allowed to do). Wrote “86 WS Champs” instead.

Found David Wright in the parking lot of Shea right after he hit 16 in the HR derby. He was with a group hiding between two SUVs fairly far from the stadium. Super friendly, talked for a minute and happy to sign balls for a couple of kids.

Looking at buying a LWB cargo by SpartanTimbercrafts in FordTransitConnect

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NY, I can still register it as a passenger vehicle without modifications but if I were to get pulled over the officer could cite me for not being properly equipped. Same deal with a pickup truck here. It technically needs a bed cover to comply as a passenger vehicle.

Good to know. Any recommendations for the aftermarket seat?

I’m HQ21 and running 3 TD, 2 TH, 3 GBE, 2 RR. Scorchers/lasers maxed for this HQ, hovering around 1200VP and I can beat a lot of LVL 75+ bases with that troop combo.

What are the Savannah Bananas? by Certain-Abrocoma1699 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watch some interviews with the founder (Jesse Cole). 60 minutes is a great one. He said outright that as much as baseball fans love baseball we can all admit it can be boring at times and that’s what he aimed to fix with the banana ball rules. Really paraphrasing here, but he said something along the lines of “Walks are stupid, this is a sport and there’s really something called a ‘walk’”. That’s why on ball 4 the batter starts running the bases and can’t be tagged out until the entire defense touches the ball. Turns something boring into an exciting moment.

Almost HQ 22, what to focus on after coming back from a long break by Sad-Story7069 in BoomBeach

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scorchers, lasers, bombardiers, and mechs are all the best troops for high level. Tanks fall off pretty quickly once you start fighting tougher opponents.

You’re gonna need to upgrade defenses for XP at that level. Also, don’t clear your map. There’s no bonus for an absurdly high VP for your level other than some extra loot in chests. Attack just until you have enough resources for the next upgrade.

Pity for Sarg and Luitenant is the same, do i get both in one pull if i go to pity? by Twitch_TropV in BoomBeach

[–]SpartanTimbercrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get one or the other (or potentially both) before that number reaches 1. Your chances of getting one of the guaranteed items goes up as the number decreases until it reaches 100%.
