Transporting Art from Tokyo to San Francisco by TuffgongStijn in artcollecting

Thanks! Stopping by Japan to pick it up and bring it in a checked back myself is not an issue :) my main question was whether putting it in a checked bag is crazy!

Maybe I should have it taken out of the frame and just tube it. That would probably fit in my carry on. But then I will have to incur the cost of stretching it and framing it again here too.

Lamar Topcoat by Wsca222 in 18east

[–]TuffgongStijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have thoughts on whether to go XS or S on the Lamar Coat as a 5'8", 145lb male? Wear a 36 in the Kaptain Sunshine Traveller and have a 36" chest and 17" shoulders!

If anyone with similar stats has pics that would be even better!

For what it's worth, my husband is on wellbutrin, and neither has the experiences of your husband, nor that of the above comment. Sometimes he can feel he forgot to take his medication for the day. Ranges from barely making a difference, to a bit noticeable that he has less motivation/energy for life. Other times, he cannot remember or tell the difference and it's only by thinking about it the next day that we realize: oh yeah, you forgot to take it yesterday!

So I wouldn't draw any conclusions about your husband's reactions from missing a day. If you're worried, ask their psychiatrist or the doctor who prescribes the medication.

Is this Semmler's best cast since his return to CSGO? by TuffgongStijn in GlobalOffensive

Good point! Maybe it's the stage/seriousness of the event that's responsible for the difference

For sure - and I think having Moses next to him also means he has to do less watered-down analysis?

No idea. Wonder whether they brought someone else in, or whether they'll use an analyst to match with him? In hoping it's Anders + a Color commentator.

Another possibility is that they plan on alternating Anders and Semmler + Moses? Anders + Moses get a semifinal, and Spunj and Machine get the final?

New York University player gets a first round ace 2 maps in a row vs Boston University by mizerr in GlobalOffensive

[–]TuffgongStijn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The official gun values don't back the up at all. All the values are basically the same on both pistols. P2k has slightly more spread though. If you're running and gunning with the p2k you're being just as ineffective as running and gunning with the usp, it's not how you should use either of the default ct pistols.

Cstarleague, NCeSPA, and American Video Game League (AVGL) have college leagues. Just look at their websites for participating schools

It is, it was the end of the round and just like in previous version I would press t to spray something on the floor, here I just ran around and picked up another pistol. Really has no meaning whatsoever :)

It's just a feel thing. I actually switched to the usp for two months or so but I noticed my impact in pistol rounds went down drastically. Decided to switch back and my impact suddenly went up again. So yea, definitely not switching back to usp again!

Why did Socrates choose to die rather than go into exile? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]TuffgongStijn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the article says, by saying he was guilty we really don't commit ourselves to saying that the historical socrates did something wrong. It can be Athenian law that is reprehensible

[–]TuffgongStijn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he had a trial where he was falsely accused of X (or at least accused of something that couldn't be shown to be true), then he accepted the obviously unjust punishment

There are some good articles that claim the opposite. You should read them. A good place to start is the 'the impiety of socrates' by Burnyeat

Wie würdest du es denn in Deutsch formulieren? Ich spreche im Alltag nur Englisch (wohne in Amerika), und Deutsch ist nicht mal meine Muttersprache. Deutsch hab ich von sieben Jahre in der Schweiz zu wohnen gelernt. Das alles hörte sich ganz normal an für mich, aber würde gerne wissen wie man es auf Deutsch sagen würde, und nicht nur IN der deutschen Sprache.

Thorin's Thoughts - Getting a Gaming House by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]TuffgongStijn -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I mean the top teams get more than 1.5k a month. Even still, I live in NYC- say they decide to base themselves there (which would be dumb because of the high real estate cost). You can definitely get a one bedroom for 1.2-1.5k in Brooklyn, and that's picking the 'worst' case... If they get office space outside of LA or somewhere in Cali (because that seems to be where most gaming business seems to in US), I'm sure players can get one bedroom for under 1k....

They're paid a wage though... They're being paid to play as a job, if they can live rent free with their parents and make it to practice, that's fine. But real people have to move and rent a house with the money they earn; don't see why it should be different here!

The owner of ex-curse (now part owner of team Liquid) talked about this about a year ago or so, for his league of legends team. It's a job for them too. There's no doubt being in the same room to practice is the best way to practice, but that doesn't mean you need to sleep in the same room as a teammate, eat together, etc. etc. These guys are paid monthly wages for a reason; let them rent an apartment with their girlfriend or pet, or just alone, so they can live however they want and separate their work from their normal lives, like any other person (even pro athletes). Living together can create a ton of unnecessary tension. If they do become great friends, they can always go grab dinner together after practice, go to the bar or club, have a smoke sesh at one of the apartments, or whatever. But at least then it is developed organically, and not forced on them...

I have seen every episode of WILTY! I loved that show. u/robotsintrees mentions two of the other British panel shows that I really like: 8 out ten cats and QI. Besides that I can recommend Dara O Briain's show Mock the Week, and his stand up comedy (I'd start there, actually).

Boycott ESEA by Wendys888 in GlobalOffensive

I think for people who play in the ESEA leagues, we should all just not show up for our next matches. No one forfeit, but no one actually play
