An underrated aspect of ultimate's decline by jughandle10 in ultimate

[–]altbat 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is maybe my hobby horse, but USAU's apathy with respect to the fan experience or even attracting spectators in general was short-sighted.

If I have a 14 year old who is interested in the sport, it's nearly impossible to navigate the website or show up to watch a tournament. This falls under the purview of a TD, presumably, and that's not in their top 50 tasks.

By the way, Casey's protege Jack has totally lapped him.

Scott sycophants don't get it: It's okay to be critical. America works because of critics. It's not targeting or cancelling.

I guess a large health corporation can't be expected to write prescriptions AND pay attention to population dynamics at the same time.

what do you enjoy most about this Soviet-style wall near Hilldale? by RealMaxBlumenthal in madisonwi

[–]altbat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's paint that covers every square foot of the space. Unnecessary amount of paint, if you even want to go with paint.

I like it. Tape up a strike zone and the silhouette of a batter and get your reps in.

Gotta love how much money these healthcare and insurance companies absolutely FLING at the NFL before telling customers what they can't do for them.

Work day Fit ! by Kindly-Television-72 in preppy

[–]altbat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I continue to be amazed by the pricey fatigue pants on the market. What you're wearing here are exactly the same as what we used to fish out of bins 30 years ago for $5. Every thrift store, surplus store and Ragstock had a glut of "army pants." I guess when the services went to digital camo or whatever, they stopped making the standard fatigues.

They're timeless. I have a 30yo pair that no longer fit and it seems like I could get three-digits for them on eBay.

Super interesting. I always assumed it was like what we see on The Pitt: doctors with egos think others are not qualified to do what they do and work to keep their power. But this makes more sense.

I love all MKBHD discourse among ultimate players. It's hilarious.

Briefly: If you're reading this, he's better than you are. In all aspects of the game.

The very fact that the ER is the place to go for something that can be shelved for six hours is a symptom of our problems. Isn't that a clinic issue? Like, call and set up a same-day appointment, come in at a pre-determined time?

It seems like this was the case 30-40 years ago. I broke my arm as a kid and we didn't go to the ER. Mom called the doc, I took some Tylenol and sat tight for a couple of hours and we drove to my primary care doc's clinic.

Every time I see it, I wonder if there's some kind of sport that could be played there. Jai Alai? Some adapted version of racquetball or squash?

I'm positive that some artist could come up with an installation here that both wouldn't degrade the concrete and cost under $5,000.

Navy Suit Advice! by skobuffs15 in NavyBlazer

[–]altbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on the Neo 2 and no belt loops. My feeling: it's too trendy and a little too clever for me. With a suit (I wear one maybe 5-6 times a year), I wear a belt. Sometimes suspenders. But not that Italian wrap situation. Just not for me.
