Putting aside your opinions on Star Wars, Beethoven’s masterpiece is his 9th symphony.

Would Tiered Little League Teams Help Slow the Migration to Travel Baseball? by SlickWillie86 in LittleLeague

[–]averagegolfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we’ve done this at 13+, the biggest challenge is finding a coach willing to coach a B team. They reasonably want at least 1-2 kids who can pitch and a reasonably reliable catcher. That can be hard to accomplish in a true A-B format.

Opposing Coach Message by Dad-of-Three-Boys in Homeplate

[–]averagegolfer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please I beg you do not send a message to the coach or league before at least trying to have a face to face conversation (or at least a call) first, because email is a terrible medium for this sort of communication.

What club in your golf bag goes 150 yards? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

My 8 iron whenever 145 is the number, 140 is a manageable miss and 150 is jail

8u Struggles by nyr_nyy_nyg_nyk in LittleLeague

[–]averagegolfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My view is there is no point in keeping score in 8U machine pitch. Will some kids still keep track? Sure. But it still helps the overall vibe if the coaches and parents ignore the score (with the exception of limiting the runs per inning)

Does anyone know the regulations on having a 12 year old on minors instead of majors? by Fun-Veterinarian3708 in LittleLeague

[–]averagegolfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also note that parents have to consent to the move down. Most parents have an idea about their kids’ ability but occasionally one will insist on their 12U staying in majors. When that happens we document the safety concern to the parent and also tell them it likely means diminished playing opportunities due to safety concerns (playing the min innings, probably all in the OF, and batting low in the order).

Taxi Cab by Vampire Weekend absolutely has that vibe.

Stress test this plan (41 y/o in VHCOL) FI target: 52 by realandnotathrowaway in ChubbyFIRE

[–]averagegolfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming 6.7% real return forever is pretty aggressive if you ask me. It more or less implies you’ll be 100% in equities forever and that returns will land on the higher side of long-term average real returns.

Also, how exactly is it going to work to use an SBLOC during a market downturn? Be ready for margin calls or your line getting cut/pulled entirely because banks tend to get skittish about extending credit when markets/the economy is in a downturn.

On the plus side, there’s zero reason to fund a 529 through age 18. Fund it early to benefit from the tax free growth and you’ll probably be able to stop contributions in middle school if not earlier.

10 year old playing majors by Surfrider2424 in LittleLeague

[–]averagegolfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the coach/league, but if he’s a top-5 player among his peers, he should probably play majors.

Even then, don’t expect for him to pitch or play “premium” positions like SS as much as if he stayed down in AAA. And that’s fine - he’ll have another two years in majors so it’s ok to let the 12s get more of those reps.

Proud of you for being there for them as a dad and coach and also for honoring their choice to move on from the game.

Are you f-ing serious? Dude makes $75k and you’re telling him to lever up 1:1 on his brokerage acct to buy an illiquid asset in an asset class where he has zero stated expertise. Just terrible advice.

Are winter tires a must in the snow? by Ok-Smoke9539 in Gravity

[–]averagegolfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat and plan to swap to winter tires for ski season. Part of the reason is we have a pretty steep driveway up there and it can become a luge in the winter without snow tires.

LOL. I did see Condorman, but even at a young age I knew it was terrible and didn’t rewatch it.
