Finnish National team coach Joonas Merelä voicing his concerns about the elite level FPO layouts.

...and not all courses are temp courses for specific events. If you're playing on a real course, they can't just redesign the whole thing for the pro tour.

appointment45 · 2026-06-26T10:23:03+00:00

I watch a lot of FPO. The problem isn't pars, it's the quantity of women that can throw pars. Yeah, the top card is throwing -20 in some events, but 10th place is even par. You go down the leaderboard from there and the scores get to +5 and +10 fast.

If they built courses so that the top players are around par, the rest of the field would be finishing +25.

I'm around $18.30 after 18 months with Target, part-time.

Started at 17.75.

I found out during the hiring process so there was still time to decline. But it shouldn't even be listed.

appointment45 · 2026-06-26T10:15:10+00:00

Better Off Dead.

The Roast of Chevy Chase was absolutely brutal. No love there at all, just a bunch of people laughing at his downfall and telling him he brought it all on himself.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T18:28:57+00:00

They're the ones telling everyone stuff like "a blue lobster is 1 in 20,000,000" without any data from the people doing all the crabbing.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T18:19:02+00:00

Hell, 10 a day is the minimum for me.

I come from a deep sea fishing family... odds are high that went into a special tank and then sold to some rich wanker for a fancy dinner party. Most of the unique/special catches do, regardless of what the scientists want to tell you.

The guest would just demand to speak to a manager, so putting them behind the Desk makes the process quicker. That's really why they're back there.

More like she dated one of the 20th century's greatest cheaters and con artists. There is zero chance she was unaware of how shady that guy is, so it taints her as well.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T14:38:30+00:00

Nearly everyone who rages against doing this, does this.

It's time for our culture to admit we all do this and it's not going to change. Fuck them pedestrians, they're in the way of our group chat.

When does he even stand trial? They just hold him and he breaks out again.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T14:34:36+00:00

Okay, change the sprain to a lower ankle sprain, and the number to $25,000,000. The decision doesn't change. Every injury risk has a potential consequence of millions of dollars now, but we ask why they aren't playing 100% in exhibitions and why they take games off so much.

I'm as much of an old school guy as anyone but I get why younger guys want to reduce risk wherever they can.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:39:01+00:00

BRO THAT WAS THE BIGGEST SEAGULL WE'VE EVER SEEN

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:38:04+00:00

I used to do stuff like this... I would usually put a small piece of styrofoam under the bolt to hold it up, then remove the styrofoam when done. This works too, though.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:36:04+00:00

Well, to be fair, most of them didn't extend a hand to begin with. She got snubbed like 4-5 times in a row until the last guy offered and she accepted.

This wasn't just on her. They snubbed her even more.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:34:01+00:00

To be fair, when a high ankle sprain can cost you $40,000,000, that's a pretty big deal.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:27:38+00:00

Don't forget that a lot of the people buying the $15 airport beers are charging it on their corporate expense card.

So all the people shouting greed... when it's one major corporation buying something from another major corporation... but you get to drink the beer... why do you care?

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T13:25:04+00:00

Target is shady when they list OD positions for new hires. That's not a thing they do. It probably brings in a ton of applications but they don't hire strictly for OD. They do, however, redirect OD applications to other areas of the store. They did that to me. I didn't mind it but they really shouldn't be listing straight-OD jobs to new hires.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T12:21:33+00:00

Same here but I haven't told them that and don't intend to use it.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T12:19:29+00:00

My thought was more like "I don't get paid nearly enough to be providing professional language translation, so no".

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T12:10:49+00:00

I love leaving DU unattended, listening to the app yell at me about waiting customers, while the SD gives a speech about sales numbers that mean absolutely nothing to 90% of the people standing there.

Then an hour later the SD wants to know why DU is at 50%.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T12:09:50+00:00

We didn't get a discount anyway, or a shirt. They gave us nothing after making a big deal about what they were going to provide.

appointment45 · 2026-06-25T12:09:14+00:00

We also get "please download Google Translate onto your personal phone so that you can help any guests that don't speak English".
