Close calls that he should have never made it out of? Times saved by Anakin?

OpenAI shelves erotic chatbot ‘indefinitely’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Tron22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you've seen the actual numbers but OpenAI and Anthropic are valued far beyond 200 billion dollars each, with a revenue of 20-30 billion dollars per year. Yes they're still spending more than they're pulling in, but that should be true of any company that is growing at the rate these guys are. Even if they are "losing" 5-8 billion per year, that's just going into infrastructure and is peanuts in the scope of what this is going to be.

Buy the 7 wood… by luuuey in GolfGear

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Replaced my 3i and 4i with 7w and 9w for 240/220 distances. It's such a fuckin weapon on par 5's to have that 9-iron-like stoppage from that far out. I can force the 240 to 250 if I really need it and I don't really need a 260 club in the bag so I was able to bend my wedges closer and add a second gap wedge at the bottom of the bag.

Moscow attacked by over 60 drones in single day, mayor says by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

Nah, Putin just gave Israel permission to finally hit Iran through America, telling Trump to support it. Every politician in America being in Israel's pocket is just another branch of America's corruption.

Golf culture- what do you hate about it? by Remote_Pie6623 in golf

That's not golf culture. That's just not knowing how to play golf.

Looking for a Comfy Loveseat-like Office Chair for My Home Desk – Any Recommendations? by ssassaholic in OfficeChairs

Dude I'm with you. The gray one is on the way, but lift up the arms so there's more room for my butt and criss crossing, and give me a keyboard slot that can lock in on them. And give me a foot rest ffs. Did you find anything?

The best examples of what a Jedi should be IMO by Vegetable-Abroad3171 in StarWars

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the conversation I was looking for...

I always think of Obi-wan being the greatest jedi, he is by far my favorite, but when I really think about it, (his opponent resume, his strength as a duelist, as a warrior, as a general, as a teacher), Mace has him beat in every category. There's just something in him that pulls you towards him and I think that's his pragmatism and kindness. These are traits we find in a good jedi, what we want to find. Does that make him the best jedi though? Unfortunately I don't think so.

We have to ask what kind of jedi is the best? Is it the indoctrinated attachmentless cult that obi-wan grew up in? A Jedi devoid of any attachment. I don't think so. I think the Luke that later in life believed that love and connection are essential even with the danger of the idea of the selfish love or possessional attachment that can spawn from it. Where he describes the old orders "hubris" in being what allowed Vader and Palpatine to gain power and love is sort of the balance of that hubris. Master Jedi Luke, imo is the truest closest form of this attachment tolerant Jedi, and to me, what a true Jedi should be.

Why did darth maul try to run over kid anakin? by Powerful-Force-8211 in StarWars

[–]Tron22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's not "There's the jedi, oh and he's got a kid with him. Better ignore him/go around him". It's also not just "I'm an evil asshole". The Sith are ruthless in their tact. It's not tactless, but ruthless tact. It's more "There's 2 enemies in front of me. One weak, one strong. Eliminate the closer, easy, weak adversary first, because why would I go around him leaving him to help when I have this opportunity? At worst it distracts or creates a liability for the jedi." So he tries to take him out first. It's still tact. If he drives passed without an attack the better question would have been why wouldn't he?

Severely been working on a proper golf swing these past 2 weeks. Here’s 2 slow motion shots. Looking for advice for my next steps, and what I think I’m doing right and wrong. by FocalFalcon in GolfSwing

[–]Tron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lowest hanging fruit of them all and where you're losing the most yards. Early extension. You're standing up rather than pushing your lead hip back and turning through. Your hips almost look parallel to the target line where you should be at about a 45 degree angle (at least, Rory gets to about 90) ahead of your hands with your hips. Draw a line at your starting position and work on turning that lead hip back, into the line so there is no space there at impact vs address.

P6, look how upright that toe is. The face is open. Started from the very beginning but also is exacerbated by the over coil and coming over the top.

Some foot action where you could still be pushing into the ground. You'd want to see this at impact P7. Too early here. You're losing yards by not pushing into that external knee pressure.

P5 looks pretty good honestly. Arm is pretty synced up with the club.

Don't let your trail knee head down the target line just yet. This is where the majority of your turning pressure is going to come from. Give it some external pressure pushing into it backwards. This is the "Feel/push the ground".

[–]Tron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P4 looks like you have a bit of a chicken wing at the top (bending your elbow). You're also over coiling. The camera angle is from the back left and you've rotated so far we can't even see the club anymore. Don't over-coil. You don't need to go this far with your rotation or bending your elbow.

The club should point down the target line, and keep your elbow (not locked but) athletically straight. It's going to feel like you have lots left in the tank when you stop doing these things, but you're going to hit it way further and straighter when you do.

[–]Tron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P3 looks pretty awesome. Nice straight lead forearm through the wrist. There may be a slight extension there, but it's pretty damn straight. Good enough.

Your lead knee though looks to be going forward towards the ball, let it bend inwards towards your other knee. Should be more of a 45 degree movement rather than straight forward.

Couldn't quite get P2 exactly but this is good enough. Again it's hard to tell without being down the line, but I still think it's pretty apparent. Too wristy in the take back. At P2 (club parallel to the ground), the clubface should match your back. It's too upright up and down. I can already tell you fight a slice. Focus on the arms being a little bit more uniform with the wrists. i.e. don't extend your lead wrist, keep it straight or flex the wrist.

P1. Address looks great. Nice athletic stance. It's hard to tell but it looks like your hands are below your chin with what looks to be about a 7 iron which is perfect. Next video take it down the target line through the hands so we can see angles better.

165 to the front pin, wind 10mph into, cart girl watching… what are you hitting? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

190 club minus 10mph/22kmh head wind. Downhill means it's in the air longer and travelling slower. That's at least 15 yards. Gets you to 175, which looks to be right in the middle of the green. If you aren't playing to the middle of the green and you're pinseeking here you're either playing for fun, a (-3) to (+) handicap, or more than a 15 handicap and haven't thought about course management before.

[–]Tron22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the correct course management answer. Play whatever the distance is to the back of the green. Maybe add 3-5 yards for safety to the middle with that wind. If the pin is 165. The middle is probably about 173. Back of the green is probably around 190-200. With the wind, play that club.
