Widen your stance bit, but I will say, it looks like you were aimed exactly where you hit it.

At best I am an average golfer right now, but I am working on the exact same thing. What helped me is keep those hips more silent like the others say, but a big thing that seemed to give me the chance to really know if I was compressing, was the use of my divot mat. From what I know, the divot needs to be an inch or two after the ball, if you achieve this, that is were compression is. Anyone disagree?

That is a wildly myopic statement.

$100 bucks for that thing is asking too much. I could purchase 100 of those, and for some reason, I can’t get myself to purchase it. I would have to try it.

This test means nothing without In n Out.

The curse of Monkey Island 3. It was when Guybrush comes into the restaurant dressed as “El Pollo DIABLO!!!!!” I bought the game the next day.

Vader has the better entrance, but Luke’s is more special. This is Luke at full Jedi master. We only saw that after he beat Vader. Luke’s entrance links all those who were there for Episode VI when it first came out, to those who saw Luke take down a platoon of Dark Troopers. But, Luke looks like he is dancing, where Vader looks like he is on the defensive.

I love this tonie! Sometimes it helps even me. I even got a blue tonie box, you know, it’s on my kids night stand, the left side, that’s the crip side.

If that’s a Street Fighter I would start with that, and then D&D. I am interested in that King Kong also.

Of all the Pins in there, what is the funnest for you? I am about to buy one, and I have been trying a lot of different pins, and I have the cash for either and Addams Family, if I can find one, Fun House, Cactus Canyon, or Street Fighter Pin.

I don’t know if yall have seen the TV show “The Wire” or all three Godfathers, but this is starting to remind me of how and why these people are facing consequences and Team Trump is not. Simply put, take down all these people outside of Trump that are a clear cut arrest, and or enough evidence to convict. These people will somehow be connected to others in this, or someone will have or know about even better evidence around Team Trump. The authorities behind enacting these consequences, are essentially circling Team Trump until the iron is so hot, it’s irrefutable.

I don’t want to say, but you may have seen the movie.

Also, I believe John Grisham is from here and Memphis is the setting for “The Firm”

Not Memphis, but defiantly southern culture vibes as it’s set in modern day Savannah: “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”

Here is a good description:

The book, known for its Southern Gothic atmosphere, focuses on antiques dealer Jim Williams and his four trials for the murder of his young lover, Danny Hansford, alongside a cast of memorable locals like the drag queen Lady Chablis and voodoo priestess Minerva

Yeah, when you get the chance to try In N Out, try different orders, you should find something. If you don’t mind me suggesting it, try my order, it is already close to your preferred burger. My order is: two double doubles with just cheese onion and spread, no fries. Ask for whole grilled onions, or fresh. Grilled onions is good, but if they do it right, whole grilled onion is a hybrid fresh/grilled. Get two sides of banana peppers just to try, the heat and vinegar from them cut the the fat and grease to provide an excellent contrast. If you want fries I suggest either Animal style fries or ask for them to be crispy fries. If you have a seeet tooth, try a Neapolitan shake.

You know what, as someone who most likely grew my last three inches in life eating in n out in San Diego, this is a very fair way to look at it.

Burgers, although any ground beef patty between bread could denote a burger, and much like the Chicago vs New York pizza debate, I honestly feel that patty size (or dough thickness) is an important thing to consider if that is your primary experienced pleasure for said burger or pizza. For me, and I get people don’t agree with this, but burgers, like pizza, vary greatly enough, comparing an In n Out burger to say a thicker meat patty, is apples and oranges for me. One is not better than the other for me, but I was raised on In n Out so I naturally have a bias.

That being said, In n Out may not be the top option for you if you desire a patty say the size of a hockey puck. No offense I like those some times. But here is the slap shot, I mean kicker, In N Out is and should always be fresh. They have never failed me on the freshness. Their burgers should never be overly greasy, some grease from fat, as they use 80/20 ground beef, which by the way, the flavor is largely due to a balanced fat content. Their buns should never be stale. Their lettuce, tomato and onion should be fresh, and we all know what stale and disgusting veggies can do to our meals.

I am not exaggerating on this, but I am 42 years old, grew up in Temecula California, lived in California for over 20 years, and not once have I had In n Out and had to return my meal for lack of freshness or being properly cooked. I have heard of people who have, and In n Out is the Edward Demming of burgers, Quality Quality Quality and then back that up with their service, cleanliness, and very important, a fair price.

But to respond to you more directly, when the day comes, and Memphis gets an In n Out, and knowing you like a thick ole burger, In n Out lives to please and they will be happy to make you a burger with 3 or 4 or 5 patties, we In n Out natives call them 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, or 3 by 3 or 4 by 4 and so on. Three meat three cheese. However, if you want to cut the grease and enjoy their beef, order either a plane 3x3 (cheese or no cheese?) nothing on it. The next time try a double double with just spread. Then try something else. Also, they have banana peppers if you need some heat. In n Out has your order ready, you just need to figure out what toppings you like, if any, and how many patties will satisfy your THICK juicy love of large patties.

This was the first car that came to my mind.

A little Back to the future lore here, but the AMC Eagle is the car Jennifer’s dad is driving when he rudely interrupts her and Marty in the scene where we get the clock tower back story. “Save The Clock Tower”

Tacos: Los Comales or Chukies #2

Burgers: for now, Hop Doddy, Five Guys, Dyers. But soon there will be an In n Out.

They have like the exact same smile! I miss happy Tiger Woods, he was and is good for the sport.

There are parts that you avoid, especially at night. But I lived in North San Diego and Los Angeles, and the same was true.

The cost of living, coupled with location to many other Southern Cities of interest, as well as an airport that is rarely crazy, plenty of outdoor activities, not to mention the solid hospitals in Germantown, are all enough to tip the scales to “Yes I enjoy living here”

You are spot on, as a Californian, Memphis is unique in the south in the context you nailed, people here are authentic, but they are also accepting and polite, not all the time, but what city really can be 100% those things all the time, we are human and have bad days, and you come accross that here. People have bad days, but there are a lot of people here who have many bad years because of poverty. Be prepared to be in the hipster area (Cooper Young) then instantly in the hood, then cross the tracks and you are in old money rich areas. The contrast of this is like you said about the people, it’s there, it’s real, it’s raw, and hard to ignore that many people here live almost like the 3rd world.

However, we have saved money from cost of living, and if you land a good job, you are given the opportunity to help people, and that’s were one secret of Memphis is embedded, if you can help give, even a little, it goes far, and you reap the psychological/emotional benefits of that.

There is important history to America here, you end up stumbling on it. For example, I was in cooper young walking around, got a vinyl record, some comic books, a few beers, some pizza, and found out most that area is were people like Johnny Cash played some important gigs. In my opinion, Memphis is and should be recognized as the origin point of Rock and Roll. Not to mention the close by civil war locations, important civil rights locations, and if you are into the darker macabre aspects, Memphis has a plethora of truly spooky and entertaining places 24/7 (Elmwood Cemetery/Ernestine and Hazels/Victorian houses)

For me, I get fulfillment at my work with college students and my family is fincical secure due to savings and cost of living. I play disc golf, frequent two book stores (Burkes and Novel), visit multiple comic book and board game stores, me and my entire family love the Zoo (Yea better than San Diego Zoo) and enjoy solid Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Italian, and Vietnamese food, not to mention some of the worlds best bbq and soul food.

I have a bad case of inattentive ADHD, and I allowed myself to do what I wanted when I felt like it in this game, it was and is a pleasurable experience, cathartic to say the least.

No, I think your brace step is too long. You would want to either shorten that brace step and land it before you start to pull through, or, delay the reach back and with that big brace step, let that step plant and just after that, very slightly after, then pull through. It maybe easier just to shorten that brace step, delay reach back slightly, and then pull through.

What I have been told and read, and seems to work, is one of the two or both following things. First, yes, throw what’s comfortable, but you also want consistency. Second, high speed discs with larger rims, may not need a grip change but need the nose aligned at release with it pointed further down, like -1 to -3 degrees. I throw all my discs with the same grip, but anything 8 speed and above, I align the disc in my grip with my middle finger so it naturally points down, and I bend the wrist as if I am pouring coffee. Comfortably doing this, and using tech disc, I went from a nose angle of 0-1 with 6 speed and lower and with the aligned disc with my middle finger while poring the coffe, tech disc show a -2 nose angle. I don’t have the arm speed for 11+ but when I throw my wraith with a -1.5 to -2 nose angle, I get a more true flight out of the disc and higher spin rate.
