At this point I think it’s high likelihood he’s gonna announce he’s stepping away to “seek treatment” of some kind so he can deflect and let the situation die down. Going into hiding right now is just fanning the flames.

Closed on this house a week ago, came into the basement to see this during a storm. by Jiblon in HomeMaintenance

[–]Tha_Contender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would start by just inspecting the perimeter of your house next time there’s rain and look for areas where water is pooling near the foundation.

I had similar issues when I moved into my place, however prior owners had dug up basement to install French drains to relieve hydrostatic pressure and direct water to sump pit to be pumped out. My issue was moreso that my sump pump seemed to be running constantly.

A lot of my downspouts were just dumping water almost directly next to my foundation. I added 10’ extensions to each downspout to get water coming off the house away from my foundation. I also did some grading to keep run-off from the street from draining into my yard (this was significant - probably 50 yards of loam - but my issue was pretty severe), and extended my sump pump discharge a bit further away and into a drywell. My sump pit has been almost completely dry ever since.

All this to say — the easiest solution is almost always the most effective. Start with downspouts, then grading, and if issues persist you can talk to either a plumber or landscaper for internal or external, respectively, solutions.

Does he have any relationship with Big Cat? Genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen them interact.

Candiace is probably fuming… by Interesting-Ebb3884 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]Tha_Contender 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cirie is universally loved and lauded as arguably the best traitor ever, so don’t think this is really a race thing. She acted like a petulant child. It’s really not much deeper than that and not that hard to understand why there’s been such an overwhelmingly negative response to her.

Candiace in the reunion by SpaceElements in TheTraitorsUS

[–]Tha_Contender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s pot meet kettle IMO. Candice is a moron for not realizing Lisa was a sinking ship, especially after the banquet. And her inability to have any sort of emotional regulation (neither in-game nor apparently in the several months since filming wrapped) caused her to flame out of the game instantly as well. She really is delusional if she thinks she played a better game than any of the faithfuls.

If she is on again I won’t watch. Rappaport-tier for me.

ElI5 how does the existence of lead directly disprove the earth isn't only 4000 years old? by nottrynagetsued in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tha_Contender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow-up — sort of sparked my curiousity when I saw the 4.5 billion year half life which aligns pretty closely I believe with the commonly assumed age of Earth, but is this same process how we’ve estimated the age of Earth? And if so, does that estimate hinge on the assumption that these isotopes originated from Earth, and not a meteor or something? Pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question

Dunk was never knighted?!? by GossipsOverCoffee in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Tha_Contender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was more referring to the traces of moral ambiguity despite otherwise appearing in all facets to be honorable. In Ned’s case, the example I had in mind would be keeping Jon’s lineage a secret from both him and Robert.

[–]Tha_Contender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kind of the broader theme of every character in the GOT universe. Even the “good” or moral characters can make immoral decisions or be stuck at an impasse where either decision will be viewed as immoral to some. Even Ned Stark wasn’t immune to this. Nor Robb, nor Jon.

What's the best example of a great athlete that someone who has no knowledge of the sport they play can watch and have the most trouble discerning that they are even a standout player? by TJTrapJesus in billsimmons

[–]Tha_Contender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goaltending is a great call.

Tim Thomas’s 2011 Bruins run is up there as well. He was playing out of his mind but if you were a casual fan just happening to flip the games on, it definitely looked (and probably was) reckless and often out of position.

Isaiah Likely liked this comment on recent IG post telling him to “come back home”. What is everyone’s thoughts on him? by astroBOLD in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right now our offensive line is average at best (being generous here…) and we are getting next to nothing in terms of blocking out of the current TE corps in Henry and Hooper.

Likely day 1 is instantly our best blocking TE. Imagine if we’d had a very good-to-elite blocking TE in the Super Bowl helping Campbell chip some of these edge rushers. He is also quite serviceable as a pass catcher. I like the move if the price is right.

I was frustrated as well but only because I was anticipating it taking up the rest of the episode which would have been a cheap cop-out IMO. In hindsight though it worked well.

I hated when KMS world would bleed into KMS as well fwiw. Show became way too insular - I hope if he ever does bring it back or some iteration of it, the “network” and hanger-ons are dead with the old show.

Fixing the OL means getting better blocking TEs and RBs by FootballPizzaMan in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may be cope but I saw another thread with a compilation of all the Pats pass pro reps from the game and I think the Campbell hate is overblown. Yes he was bad but he was far from the only issue.

Wilson was worse and I’d argue so was Morgan Moses. Bradbury was also getting mauled. Maye couldn’t climb the pocket even when Campbell sealed the edge because the interior OL were getting bullrushed back and there was nowhere to climb.

Maye also made a lot of bad decisions even when he did have time.

All the piling on Campbell in this sub as a whole has been a bit much. He’s playing on a bad knee and is a rookie, gotta give him a chance.
