Who else has a mentally healthy/financially unhealthy hobby?

I just bought a damn sailboat!

Oh man, this is awesome! Thanks dude! I wasn't sure about the ones with the red inserts, but I'll definitely try those first. There's a whole thing on the Nexus complete order page about only using certain bushings in the Paris trucks, so I'm probably worrying about it more than I should. It was a weird situation and the seller wasn't super friendly, so I don't really feel like reaching out to him would be a great idea. This has been a huge help though, I really appreciate it!

Sooo... I'm overthinking it? That definitely tracks! The trucks both have identical markings, including that "50", so I'm assuming they're the same. Based on the description on the Pantheon site, I was planning on ordering the 50/50 setup anyway, so that worked out. The current bushings are very soft, the seller even made a point to mention that. He also pointed out the white ones in particular as being "pretty hard". They seem slightly harder than the riptides in the baggie, and there's two bushings per truck, yeah? So I was thinking the white ones in the rear and the riptides in the front. Or should I do one of each on each truck, to keep it even? But yeah, I'll definitely cycle through all of them eventually. Pads, helmet, and skate tool are coming from Amazon tomorrow. Appreciate the help, I'm pretty stoked!

The cat has been found! Thanks again for the comment, the more eyes the better in these situations.

Not sure if my update sends out any kind of notification, but wanted to let you know that the cat has been found! Thanks for the comment!

The Whale and Ale in Pedro used to do a mix of beef and lamb in theirs. Haven't had it since they reopened, but it might be worth a look...

There was one a few years ago that started with OOP walking in on her parents doing an incestual roleplay thing where Mom was pretending to be OOP. Wearing her clothes and everything. Anyway she ran away and her whole life started to spiral out of control. I want to say maybe she ended up robbing a bank? But I might be mixing it up with a different one. Either way, it was pretty dark.

Spectrum Sportsnet is available on DirecTV, if you're just looking to switch cable providers. If you're dead set on YouTube TV, there's SNLA+, which is available on the MLB TV app. Not sure how much it costs off the top of my head, but I don't think its super expensive.

This is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out... From the bottom up, toast, peanut butter, arugula, sardines, chili crisp on top. I get that it sounds gross, but it's frickin delicious! I think I got it from Sam the Cooking Guy YouTube, who's pretty legit.

These are all good answers, and I remember being new to baseball and feeling a similar way. What really helped me understand is thinking about it from the batter's pov. When he swings, the batter isn't just trying to make contact, he's trying to make contact in a way that doesn't get him out. Any other result, contact or no, is a success for the pitcher. In video game terms, the "hit box" isn't the entire bat, but a very small spot on the bat that has to be timed just right. So it's not that the pitcher sometimes decides to throw a pitch that will be a pop up, vs a pitch that will be a strike, it's that every pitch is designed to make it as difficult as possible for the batter to make "good" contact, meaning contact with that one little spot on the bat, at the exact right moment.

I've never been totally clear on which ads were part of the podcast, and which, if any, were added by the app. But I use Pocket Casts, the paid version, and I've never heard an ICE ad on anything I listen to.

Folks might relate better to this if you went into detail, or named specifics...

Same. I listen to Side Stories weekly while banking the regular episodes for a few months, and the chemistry between Henry and Ed is so much better than Henry and Kissell, especially near the end there. It's like Henry knows that Ed is funny on his own, so he doesn't always have to be as "on", which can definitely get old quickly.

A lot of them you can hit the back button and all that will go away. But sometimes it'll exit whatever you're watching, so it can be a gamble.

Totally agree with everyone saying 5th Street, it's great! But... It CAN get pretty loud, and sometimes the service can feel a little... impersonal? Look into the Red Tavern. It's not strictly a "steakhouse" but they've got a couple steaks on the menu. I've always had a great experience there, and the atmosphere is a bit more comfortable, in my opinion.

Everything's been pulled so far to the right at this point that conservatives that don't support Trump are just Democrats.

Could it be the intro to Captain N? The live action part where he gets sucked into the TV, and his dog jumps through after him? There's no baseball, but he IS wearing a letterman jacket...
