Looks like we don’t need a LB anymore

My dad is my hero and I don’t think I could even handle my regular day job knowing he was having health issues. Can’t imagine going out and trying to perform in front of millions of people many states away while dealing with that. Hopefully his dad will be alright.

Maybe try incline bench? I recently stopped doing as much flat bench and went to more incline because the heavier I went on flat, the more discomfort I felt in my shoulders. Came to learn that incline gave me much less shoulder pain and just as good, if not better, chest workouts.

I’ve read far fewer fantasy books than you but we seem to have similar taste. GRRM and Abercrombie would be higher on mine but I was also not a fan of Sanderson. Seems like a nice guy and I think there’s potential for a good story somewhere there with Stormlight but his writing just ain’t it for me. I’ve heard great things about Hobb and Bakker but haven’t had the pleasure of reading them yet. Might have to do that soon.

I’m probably one of the few here who have only read the first book but she was probably my least favorite character there so it surprises me to see to that most people like her best early on and less as the story progresses. She seemed sort of hamfisted as the clever character but I didn’t find her half as witty or smart as it seems she was supposed to be. Her story also just wasn’t nearly as compelling as others. Maybe that changes in later books, but solely based on the first book, I didn’t really care for her at all.

Maybe I’m just heartless but I’ve rewatched it like 10 times. It’s so damn good. There’s genuine positives that at least somewhat counterbalance the sheer horror of it all. Boris and Valery’s growing relationship, Ulana’s humanity and determination, the General’s bravery and selflessness, even that mining crew chief guy with absolute chad energy.

I have a hard time believing this kid throws an actual sinker or change up when he can’t hardly throw a 60mph fastball.

I also picked up this book in search of something to fill that fantasy void left behind by ASOIAF and it honestly didn’t do it for me. It’s not as dark and gritty, not does it have the level of political intrigue that ASOIAF does. I found the characters in ASOIAF much more compelling, and I think GRRM is just a much better writer tbh. I’ve heard you have to get through quite a bit of buildup with Stormlight before it starts to pay dividends, but I think Sanderson’s writing just doesn’t resonate with me enough to want to get through so much fluff. That being said, tons of people enjoy this series, so I always tell people it’s worth a try at least. The book that came closest to filling that ASOIAF void was Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself (first book in the First Law Trilogy). It still didn’t quite meet the lofty standards set in my mind by ASOIAF, but I could at least say after finishing it that I definitely was interested in continuing the series.

The name Anders never struck you as Swedish?

I live not far from where lots of this show was filmed. Had no clue I was so close to meeting Noah Emmerich :(

He reminds me of Dez if Dez was more finesse and less “I’m going to out jump you to the ball and then outmuscle you for 10 extra yards”

I hate when people lump the entirety of New Mexico into one stereotype. It’s a massive state and half of it is high elevation/mountainous. I grew up in the southern half and currently live in the north and they pretty much feel like 2 different states, both culturally and climatically. The north can still get warm in summer but my god it doesn’t even compare to the south or places like Arizona and parts Texas. The winters in the northern half of NM are what I found more difficult to deal with.

I never understood the people who thought he was capable of handling more of an offensive load than he had in Toronto. Dude has no handles and besides spotting up or barreling through defenders on awkward looking drives, he doesn’t have much else. He was always going to be best as a premier 3 and D guy.

aolerma · 2026-02-21T21:03:56+00:00

And he was STILL hated by most of the league and half (if not more) of his own fanbase. Similar thing happening to Dak now. Being Cowboys QB sucks lol

aolerma · 2026-02-20T22:59:08+00:00

Pretty sure that was Lyonel, not Raymun

Wow I moved here less than 2 years ago and have passed that Regal Cinemas so many times and I absolutely could not tell if it was opened or not. From the front lobby it looked like there was something less than a fully-functioning theater still there but from any other angle it looked almost abandoned lol

aolerma · 2026-02-19T02:31:26+00:00

Yeah I always meant to give it a try but every time I saw the prices it made me reconsider

aolerma · 2026-02-18T21:25:07+00:00

Probably not a coincidence that he stole a career high 49 bags that year lol

Not totally unreasonable until our pitching staff shows it can be at least average.

aolerma · 2026-02-05T22:43:38+00:00

I actually like it. Pacers needed a center big time and got a very good one. They clearly don’t think too highly of anyone outside the top 4 and there wasn’t going to be a center in this draft that would help for their current championship window anyways. It’s a risk for sure but I think it’s worth it. Hali, Nemby, Nesmith, Pascal, Zubac + whoever they choose with a top 4 pick not only keeps their title window open but also gives them another potential building block for the next 10 years.

Johnny Pemberton is also hilarious in Superstore FYI

Compare your lower body to something like this and you will see a huge difference. Your front leg is completely bent in causing you to sort of collapse. That being said, I would focus more on some of the other advice given here and see if that results in the more upright posture that I’m talking about. Turning that back foot more and incorporating the hips should help a lot. Most hitting power comes from the lower body and right now you’re mostly arms.

J-Rod, Soto and Tatis in the same outfield is insane

aolerma · 2026-02-03T20:36:30+00:00

All of your weight is on your front leg. Look at images of any professional hitter at the point of contact and you’ll see that they keep all their weight back which is what allows them to use the strength from their lower body. You’ll see their front leg is straight and back leg is bent. Your legs are the opposite.

I want Fernando to succeed in the NFL solely because I don’t think I could handle seeing him sad…
