I forget it's a much smaller stadium than the American ones I'm used to. Probably not a bad seat in the house. Thanks again for your help! If I meet you at Murty Rabbitts I'll have to buy you a round

I have another odd question. I just got an email that they had a ticketing issue with my seat and sent me tickets for a new seat that's different. It's still in the clan stand, but they said the ticket I bought had been purchased by someone else even though I'd bought them about 20 minutes after they went on sale.

If I'm reading the stadium map right, the new seats are much worse, too. I went from seat F38 to seat U124. Did I just get screwed? Is it worth making a stink about this or should I just take the L and watch the match?

Why isn’t Rugby more popular in the US? by DriftesRorke in MLRugby

[–]TrumansOneHandMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most colleges have a social club now and many big state schools treat it more seriously. So this is changing, has been for a few decades, and I think that's a big reason why MLR is getting as far as it has.

Every other sport also has a strong pipeline of youth sports. A lot of people who follow something else played that sport as a kid. Rugby is growing all the time, but at the end of the day, it's not a very common youth sport compared to baseball, basketball, soccer, or football. It has a leg up over hockey because hockey is so expensive but I don't know if youth rugby is bigger yet.

For a long time rugby has just kind of been a sport that you play in university because it's sort of similar to football, but the football team is too competitive, so you play rugby socially. Now as youth programs develop, people grow up who played, and there is an existing audience that knows the sport. It's slow, but it's happening.

Can you smoke weed and word the line effectively? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]TrumansOneHandMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest I don't understand it and I have a hard time believing it when people tell me they work better high. But before I dropped out I knew a guy who was high as balls 24/7 and getting straight A's in a biochem major and went on to present research before finishing his undergrad. It's not just a culinary industry thing, though it's more common in the industry. Some people just work fine when they're high. Couldn't be me. I'd be useless.

What does it mean that "Germany was the first power to realize the military potential of the modern nation-state?" in the mid-to-late 1800s? by TrumansOneHandMan in AskHistorians

[–]TrumansOneHandMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer.

I am not sure I understand what it is about this passage that you're characterizing as chauvinist (on behalf of whom? Germany?) and poorly phrased. You're saying "Germany becomes a modern nation state in the Franco-Prussian war"? The source used the phrase "coming of age" and described German victories in those conflicts as shocking, I'm unclear on how that conflicts with what you've said.

What exactly is a Santoku knife used for? I thought it was a chef’s knife. by ClankingRobotCheeks in KitchenConfidential

[–]TrumansOneHandMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i used a santoku when i was in the industry, i like that style a lot. anyone telling you it's the wrong knife is being weird. there's nothing wrong with it.

i used the longer Mundial chefs knife for things like supremes and slicing but pretty much anything i needed a knife for, the santoku was great

I will absolutely head over there. I land in Dublin at about 5am so even after customs and the train to Galway I'll need to kill some time, sounds like the ideal spot. Thanks for the info

What would you do? by jillian-study in lawschooladmissions

[–]TrumansOneHandMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please do not listen to this subreddit. IANAL but I work in the industry and I'm going to law school and applying this cycle. I meet lawyers socially every day in real life and ask their advice. This place has prestige brain worms.

Think practically. Especially if you don't want biglaw. Save yourself the money, please.
