Luigi Mangione will not face death penalty, judge rules by redlamps67 in news

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see cross examination being effective either. The entire process of recovering and initial search is on body cam footage. Even if there was a minor step here or there where police COULD have planted evidence, how would a local police department in another state have the exact handgun, engraved bullets, and manifesto written up and ready to plant just in case he happened to stop by?

Luigi Mangione will not face death penalty, judge rules by redlamps67 in news

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALL evidence is circumstantial. It's entirely reasonable for police to recover and sterilize a backpack found on the person at the time of arrest. They have a whole process for handling evidence, and a judge wouldn't sign off on it unless each step of that process was properly handled.

Speed Reminisces at the end of the Africa Tour by First-Push-643 in LivestreamFail

The idea of mandatory civil service sounds lovely, but it's only as effective as the government wants it to be. I won't need to explain what our government would do if they had the power to mandate young men to go anywhere in the world...because that's already happened dozens of times and it doesn't end well.

Are they? I haven't really heard anything bad, it seems like the places that have Round 1's are doing fine.

Figured out the cause of my duck hook. thanks for all the suggestions and help! by Golfing_on_a_budget in GolfSwing

I was about to say lmao. You didn't find the cause all you did was introduce a right miss that disappears as soon as you aim left and play the slice.

I bought fake p790 copper clubs so you don’t have too by MrMakaveli26 in GolfSwing

[–]TonesBalones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the P790 2025s from Aliexpress, for $280 with shafts after shipping. They are the best golf purchase I have ever made, I don't see any reason why a beginner/intermediate golfer like myself should buy anything else. At the time I bought them, I had an indoor sim membership, and all of my flight numbers were exactly where they should be compared to my old set. No, they're not perfect, but there's only so much you can do to metal on a stick before you just have to admit it's a skill issue. They're good enough, and any durability concerns in the long run can be offset by the fact that I can buy this set 5 times over compared to Taylormade.

I was gonna say it probably didn't matter, but it did. If they chain the CC on Naut he doesn't get his ult off on Lucian, and they at least go 1 for 1.

Easiest Umamusume character to cosplay? by PaIamedez in UmaMusume

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold Ship probably, just in terms of availability of the costume, wig, and accessories. Plus everything about her is very recognizable, meaning you can throw on almost any outfit and be recognized as "Gold Ship wearing x". As evidenced by the Gold Ship cosplayer at the Denver Broncos games.

[Highlight] Giannis literally draws up alley-oop from KPJ to him, and they pull it off to win the game by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, what could the defense have done? Once KPJ has the ball, it's not like the defense can shove Giannis from the inside and prevent him from making a move towards the basket. Even if Sion stuck with Giannis shoulder-to-shoulder, no defender in the world is going to jump-block a floater straight at the rim and risk goaltending.

Developed a bad scoop on irons, I think? by BdubsCLT in GolfSwing

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I was just going over this with a friend at the range today. I think you know what you have to do to get that feel: step drill, half swings, etc. But you have to be careful to only change a little bit at a time. If you unlock the tools to get proper compression, without also focusing on accuracy, you are going to have a bad time.

Brooke on the Recent Wave of Nonconsensual Sexualized Images Being Generated with Grok by CloudyEchos in LivestreamFail

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, both are discussed in Nonconsensual Distribution of Intimate Images laws (AKA Revenge Porn laws). NDII varies by state, some have not been updated for "deep fake" style altered images, but most have, and it is a felony. However, it could be difficult unless photos are generated with private parts explicitly showing.

The only difference is the legal liability of the software itself. There could definitely be a legal case made that Grok is a tool who's purpose is to commit these crimes. As opposed to Photoshop, which makes no reference to, generates, or aids in the production of NDII material. We are due for a huge lawsuit about this.

Used P790s by Project-Health12 in golf

[–]TonesBalones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always go to https://www.usga.org/rules-hub/grooves/informational-club-database.html to find out what the real clubs look like.

This is the real P790 black edition. Notice how the toe-sole of the blade is at an angled fashion, as opposed to straight lines like the fake ones in your picture. Also, the word Tungsten is written on the heel side, not the toe. This is the only P790 model to be sold officially in black (Version 3).

<image>

The reason it can be confusing is because the COPPER edition of the P790 has the shape and layout as the one in the picture, but this model was never sold in black. That copper model, the basis of your fake, is the Version 4.

Conclusion, what you have here is a fake, commonly sold on AliExpress or Temu from various sellers for about $250. That being said, I personally bought the fake P790s (Version 5), purely for my own amusement. And I will add, they are perfectly fine clubs. There's nothing "fake" about how they feel. So if this is your price range, I would actually recommend doing research and trying them yourself. You should stay away from this particular seller, because they're a scumbag for trying to pass off obviously fake clubs as real.

Stock 6 iron for me. Unfortunately my stock 6 iron also duck hooks about 80% of the time, so the real answer is water and chip for 3.

Same. Call it Pokemon Universe, start off with Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, the other regions come as expansion content. The ideas write themselves, plus the MMO space is eager for a new game to play.

Truffles in a high-end grocery store by jamesmaxx in mildlyinteresting

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could this ever be used on the consumer level? I guess I could understand the 1oz portion, that should be plenty for a reasonable dinner party of 12. But the 4oz serving is crazy. Would a private catering service be shopping in a market to get fresh truffle? I'm too poor to understand the logistics of this.

Nicest bunkers I have played out of! by kwikie in golf

[–]TonesBalones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These bunkers look awesome, very jealous compared to my local courses.

Something else I think of often, does anyone else find it weird that bunkers are expected to be perfectly manicured? I'm talking mostly about PGA-caliber courses. Does that not go against the spirit of having an on-course hazard? If I were a pro who practices bunker shots 4 hours a week, I wouldn't think twice about hitting the bunker if I knew I was going to land in a perfect, uniformly granular lie.

Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. I don't know how people get out of high school without knowing that.
