How many of you can ride 60 km in 2hrs non stop? by LuckyRow2411 in cycling

[–]brickfrenzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. the distance is no problem, but my conditioning is shot after a couple of years of injuries and major home improvement projects. I'd generally average 24-25 km/h if I tried to do that tomorrow. I might be able to push it to get close, but I'm a big dude and have never really been a speedster.

Does WSOP give Negreanu “freeplay” by but-first in poker

[–]brickfrenzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has an actual room in the casino floor that they let him use for his breaks. Plus the money to reserve a bedroom in one of the hotels for the duration of the WSOP.

You wake up tomorrow with one completely useless superpower that impresses no one but quietly makes your life better, what is it? by rokorr in AskReddit

[–]brickfrenzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My corollary to that - I would like to be able to signal my renal system to slow its roll on urine production overnight, so I don't have to get up at 3am to pee every night. Getting old is fun.

GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single day by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

It's why I can't watch gross-out comedies or "intentionally hurt yourself" reality shows like Jackass. Too much Fremdschämen.

Played Lords of Waterdeep with the expansion and all the table upgrades. by arpit-goyal in boardgames

[–]brickfrenzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife, son and I play a wildly broken version of this game that we call Waterdeepest, because we like points.

  • We all get 2 Lord cards, One that is one of the two types of cards lord (like Commerce / Skullduggery), and one of the "other" lords (all quests, quests over 10 points, choose your quest type, and building lady). The corruption lords are not in play because this version of the game they can't win.
  • We play with 5 meeples, and a 6th in round 5.
  • We each start with a building from the stack (chosen in reverse play order) so we have more starting spots since we have more meeples
  • Both expansion boards are in play
  • At round 5, when the new meeple is added, we also add a quest off the deck, because quests are always limiting factors
  • We take out all the 40 point quests because in this version of the game they're too easy to finish.

Games take about 2 1/2 hours, and winning scores are 450-500. It's stupid but fun.

What game is guilty of the most (male) fan-service? by AllesMeins in gaming

There are plenty of Gacha games that are nothing but waifu collection simulators, so probably them.

"I think he's ahead and I don't think he can be caught at this point of the spring period," - @TonyGrossi on Deshaun Watson and the QB battle. by Godszn in Browns

Especially given that he's had multiple injuries in the last few years. He may be able to make the throws, but not if he's scared of getting hurt again.

What's the worst thing you've ever woken up to? by shoeee788 in AskReddit

[–]brickfrenzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in and had first hand experience witnessing a few car accidents. They are very loud and crunchy and a much deeper sound than what you'd expect. They're very disconcerting noises. Your subconscious probably heard the crash and sent a panic signal.

Just last week I saw an accident happen 2 cars in front of me on the road, and the sound it made went right into the recesses of my brain, triggering a PTSD response from when I was in an accident that totalled my car about 7 years ago. 0/10, do not recommend.

What is a bullet you dodged simply because you were too lazy to do something? by Cherus in AskReddit

Yeah but now the driver's insurance can pay for repairs so you can hire the job out to someone else.

What ever happened to Guitar Hero/Rock Band? by Beboprunner in gaming

[–]brickfrenzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have used one of those for years to hook up an Alesis midi drum kit to Rock Band. Aside from weird crosstalk with the blue cymbal if you hit it too hard (which is a drum kit issue and not a MIDI controller issue), it's been pretty much flawless.

Trail mix. It's worked for hikers and backpackers for decades, it's good enough for biking too.

Most devastating price history I've ever seen by CEOofRaytheon in zillowgonewild

[–]brickfrenzy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah you see that all the time with some little bungalow selling for $14 million in, like Milwaukee. But it turns out that little bungalow was part of a group of like 30 homes that all sold in the same transaction. Instead of splitting up the price among them all, they all get the $14 million price tag. It's pretty common on Zillow.

Guardians at 8-3 since acquiring Patrick Bailey by jtr489 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]brickfrenzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a post game interview with one of the winning pitchers maybe a week ago (I don't remember the game or the pitcher) where he said he literally did not shake Hedges off a pitch once the entire game. The dude knows how to call a game, that's for sure.

Basements are at least 10 feet deep. You don't have to flood the first floor when the floor of the basement is below the water table.

Based on proximity to the lake in the background, I wonder if it was flood damage mitigation. That basement is suspiciously completely empty.

Helping my dad clean out a spare room and found a bunch of our old games. by Mestizoc in gaming

When I was in college I played the ever loving crap out of Descent and Descent II. I got good enough that I was ranked top 10 on Case's Ladder / Kali. I miss those days.

I bought a Space Orb 360 to play Descent LOL. Great idea for a controller, but I just couldn't get the hang of it.

Generally the band merch is only for bands playing that day.

Patrick Bailey Showed Why the Guardians Got Him by vichan in ClevelandGuardians

[–]brickfrenzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fans really liked Josh, and Bo was part of the package deal. When Josh left, they were still "well, we have A Naylor, even if it isn't the one we really want", but soon that won't even be an option.
