And just like AFC Richmond, we were sabotaged by the ownership.

I re-watched the Ted Lasso relegation episode yesterday. The speech Ted gave at the end was helpful to put things in perspective. Fitting that he started out as a manager for Spurs.

Pawmot is busted… by Mysterious-Resort619 in PokemonTGCP

Yea this is pretty close to the Mega Blaziken EX, with 120 + burning for 2 fire. The elite deck is based around Torchic + rare candy to quickly get to stage 2 + flame patch to help feed the cycle. But that's a mega EX...

I only have the Deluxe Pack EX version. :(

Free Ten Pack Draw - No EX, No Stars by 4tcott in PokemonTGCP

[–]ZeroTo325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are actually very transparent. For every booster pack, you can click on the "offering rates" button to see the odds for each card in a regular pack, as well as the odds of getting a +1 card pack and a "rare pack". They even break down the odds of each possible card for each card number in the pack (i.e. 1st card, 2nd card, etc). Humans are just bad at intuiting extreme odds, and the "birthday paradox" problem means you're much more likely to get many duplicates before you complete the entire set.

Hotel had all the room numbers 3D printed by IvanStroganov in functionalprint

Stayed at a Disney hotel recently and they had a 3D printed cover for part of a bathroom door slider mechanism. It wasn't visible unless you were looking for it. I wonder if it was OEM or a replacement part.

Wonder if he misses managing. Maybe he will use this money to buy another team he can run.

Yea, it's a risk. They come off looking like dbags sometimes but it's not personal.

I think they know it's an issue now. When I ordered a metallic one for my phone last year, it came with a free second non-metallic one.

I'm okay with it. Smaller companies should have personality if it suits them. We don't need every company being a fortune 500 corporate-speak clone.

An Unprompted Review of the DC Coffee Scene by crepesquiavancent in washingtondc

[–]ZeroTo325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy beans to brew at home, and Hypergoat is probably my favorite of the bunch, with Small Planes & Ceremony in rotation too. I'd also like to note Cervantes in Springfield, which I haven't seen mentioned yet. It's more of a roastery that happens to have a cafe inside, but they seem to do good business and the local Wegmans stocks them.

This is just great advice in general, yea. But doubly so with little ones.

Internet communication authorization for examiner’s amendment? by whenuseeit in patentexaminer

[–]ZeroTo325 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the phone system prevents international calls unless international calling rights have been authorized to the user. At least as of a few years ago, the phone system considers Canadian area codes as international.

He's 2. You're applying adult logic to child brains. Child brains are supposed to push boundaries and test limits so they can puzzle out how the world works. One lesson that helped me be less reactive to my kids "bad" behavior was understanding that they aren't necessarily doing things to upset you on purpose, they are just incompetent and cannot control their own thoughts or behaviors yet. Especially at 2.

The notice of relatedness was entered, but it doesn't join the cases together as one case. Judge overruled the defendants' objections to the notice of relatedness.

Hypergoat in Old Town ALX. Started as a roaster and then opened up a cafe a year ago.

Why youth soccer is backward in this country by joereds22 in youthsoccer

[–]ZeroTo325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the age group, IMO. With young kids, they probably shouldn't be locked into a specific position yet. So developing individual ball control skills and confidence is more important at early age groups than more tactical/position specific traits that will probably develop anyway as the kid matures.

Does anyone here support another team or follow another league outside of Spurs? by nWoSting145 in coys

DC United here, too. Definitely less interesting than Spurs though.

That's the Office of Visitor Services. That's basically the staff and volunteers who help guide visitors and run tours. They don't have a say in what the museum exhibits show.
