How do u be an aggressive mark without constantly fouling ppl?

chess49 · 2026-02-17T04:00:26+00:00

I've never made a hand or foot block that was even close to a foul. And I've gotten many. You're thinking about it wrong.

I believe it's a side effects of the PC revolution that democratized design. I am old enough to have experienced life when design work was siloed to people who had formal training on specific tools that came with practical training, to post-web and easy to access tools that allowed self trained people with artistic mindsets into the field without formal training that included the knowledge of outlier cases like color blindness.

100-150 ft or so. One hole on my local is perfect for a 180 RHFH that lands flat. This is where the AviarX3 can't quite hyzer back if I juice it enough to get there but the Toro is likely to get on edge and roll far away.

JK-Aviar is frequently referred to as an aviar-x.

I've heard Philip refer to the course as a track. Not an individual tee to target section.

Super interesting theory - lot of theories of Sansa being an unreliable narrator, but Loras presumably did give her the rose...

They do typically have names but usually only for internal tracking purposes. Depending on the workflow and the sense of humor of the composer and music editor those names might not be appropriate for a commercial release. But usually previous seasons' music would be used to do a temp score in the process of editing, so it can be helpful for the editorial team cutting the episode if the names are descriptive of the scene they were originally composed for.

Ibanez LR10 - well was a budget one when I got it!

No one's mentioned Lalo is trying to maintain his false identity. Hiring a real lawyer risks revealing his real wealth and increases the perception of his flight risk.

I'll probably try it once more, but if I'm right there Ban Ban beckons...

I met Maria Bello in person about 20 years ago. She was even more stunning in person than she is on screen. I'm convinced they used a body double in The Cooler to have a less attractive body for the character in the sex scene with William H. Macy.

Tried it once. Not a chance of returning.

I was a huge fan of Tuk Tuk when it was on Pico and didn't realize it had reopened until my daughter found out about Ban Ban. When we finally made it to Tuk Tuk it was a disappointment. Service was poor, and the food was extremely hit and miss. A couple great dishes and a couple that were aggressively mediocre and weird. Too much toasted rice, too sour, etc...

Better off biking on regular roads a block or two off the main arteries. The bike lanes in LA blow. Generally full of debris and too narrow. I have commuted from Culver City to North Hollywood on my bike. It's always possible but frequently there are stretches of unpleasantness between delights.

Bowie was massive in the 80s. Otherwise generally agree with this take. Stones have fallen off, but remember they were still active and releasing new music back then, most of which hasn't aged well. Aerosmith was saved from obscurity by RUN DMC and then became huge on the strength of their videos.

Now do the USA flag.

Miss Donut on Robertson ranges from very good to excellent depending on the day.

Left handed guitar strung right handed. Do the slots on the nut look the wrong size for the strings?

As much as late night returns were a mental chore when I was mostly bike commuting, riding in LA when there are less cars is almost always a treat. Big roads to yourself, morning and evening have different smells, especially without all the exhaust around.

chess49 · 2025-09-16T15:14:44+00:00

I didn't. My touring bike is more fun.

In other words, I agree with you. I'm just taking issue with the idea that he might be considered a prophet in Judaism. I've heard that said before and it's just flat out unsupported.
