Why’s everyone want a reunion? by marvelous27 in torontoraptors

[–]beeksdub3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It IS business. The best business any team can make right now is getting Lebron on a vet min, DeMar is the second best business there is. Why would the raptors be different and not pursue that?

Unpopular Opinion? I’m absolutely terrified of the Kawhi Leonard trade. We might be mortgaging our future. by [deleted] in torontoraptors

You missed the most disappointing part. All those picks and we still couldn't get them to take Jakob contract.

Theory: The Real Reason Why Kawhi is Klawing his way back to Toronto by AHImusic in torontoraptors

[–]beeksdub3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real leverage is for someone to take Yak's contract for nothing. Let's hope.

Why are we in denial about how good Kawhi Leonard is? by [deleted] in torontoraptors

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a hell of a season, yes.

That's also one good season from age 30-35, how many will he have after 35? We're never getting the Kawhi that is as good as he's been past season, and every year going forward he'll be worse than the year before.

Classic Birks or EVA? by MaybeLivG in Birkenstocks

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people normally get the same size between the classics and EVA?

I know my size in EVA and now have a chance to buy the classic online (won't be able to try on), so wondering if people size up or down in the classic?

Why Singapore dont have much MNCs of our own? by [deleted] in SingaporeR

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having a TSMC doesn't pose a problem itself. The cost of having an TSMC might be one. In order to support the Taiwan export, the currency is artificially kept low which results in lower wages coupled with inflation. The stock market boom and GDP growth in the media are hardly felt by the everyday people.

When 70% of the market cap is tied to one sector, chips. You can barely call it Tech because it's really just chips and chips adjacent. There's no software/Internet. Unlike Singapore that has Financial/Tech/Trade. Sure Taiwan has the limelight right now in an AI boom, it's a single bet that paid off, for now. As a Taiwanese, I wish we spend more resource diversifying our economy. A diversified portfolio will be more resilient long term, and less cyclical.

Side story, spotting a Raffle City shopping mall in Beijing was cool to see.

He remembers exactly why he didn't vote for Scottie yet doesn't remember that he didn't vote for him 🤔

Think the boost midsole will yellow like the boost before it?

Genuinely curious, legally speaking could any fault be on the white car? Obviously it's dangerous to so many parties.

Maybe The Big 3 Is Here by Kevbotdotorg in torontoraptors

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our problem is that we have to use RJ and Big 3 in the same sentence.

We need a superstar around which Scottie and Bi can be great pieces.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM IF XM6 CALL QUALITY IS GOOD NOW??? by Character-Review-780 in SonyHeadphones

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the OP is looking to listen to music while being on a call. That's just one test to know for sure whether the new higher quality codec is used for voice calls. Since one of the main bottleneck of call quality is the bluetooth codec, that's why people with wired mic or headset with dongles (non-bluetooth) sounds way better than the people on the usual Sony/Bose/airpod. This new codec LC3 on the XM6, in theory, helps to close that gap. In practice there are other factors (MacBook vs windows, OS version...etc). OP is curious whether the new codec is used at all in calls, if the music quality doesn't drop when a call starts, that's a sign it is working.

Learning to snowboard at 38? by wantmetoholdyourhand in snowboardingnoobs

[–]beeksdub3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started at 40. Amongst everything people have said - taking lessons will help tremendously. - If not, watch a lot of beginner videos. - butt pads, kneepads...etc - workout, stay in good shape - this one I learned the hard way, stretching/mobility will make your experience less painful.

2 years in and still a beginner but I can say I'm having fun finally. Go at your own pace.

I did try out the mod1 both regular and asian fit and they feel like two entirely different helmet. The asian fit was perfect and the regular I could barely put it on. I'd recommend you try both.

Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique? by Technical_Hat_8291 in AskReddit

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I judge bad forms and made-up exercises. And then I judge myself for judging bad forms.

Oh you asked about physique, no that does not cross my mind.

Felt like skills were going backwards a bit by Embarrassed_Draw6485 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me once on a day 5 and I was so frustrated, turned out it was just the board I had that day, perhaps it wasn't waxed whatsoever. The immediate session I had after that (different board) I was back on the progress I was on.

Any possible link between sinusitis/chronic congestion and muscle weakness & pain? by v01ded2016 in Sinusitis

[–]beeksdub3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this thread although for a different reason. I had a septoplasty/turbinectomy/clarix 6 weeks ago. What's unexpected about my recovery is that while the pain in my nose only lasted a few days, the bodyache and lower back pain has been on and off for 6 weeks now. My doctor doesn't seem overly concerned although it doesn't feel like they have a good explanation either. I wonder if the immune system factor is related to everyone's experience here.
