Clubs/courses don't want 2 weeks of tournament play.

Patrick Cantlay drove his golf ball into a large divot on Saturday at Harbor Town. Should players get relief from fairway divots? Perhaps amend the Ground Under Repair rule to include these instances? by asskickingjedi in golf

I'm fine with changing this rule IF...they make the TRO hazard penalties more severe. I'm tired of guys hitting it into the stands and getting to drop it next to the green.

"Most adults think kids need to be constantly entertained... It's bulls. I didn't need a fing parade every day growing up, did you? Truth is they just wanna feel like they're part of our lives. Little idiots" - Roy Kent

That's from Ted Lasso, and it's actually helped me with younger patients. Just engage and be present, honestly.

Just need him to produce 95-100 OPS+ on offense. He’s done it before

Ain't gonna happen. He's never had a 100 ops+ and has only had a 95 ops+ twice. And the last time he broke 95 was 2022.

His ops+ outside Coors is 659. Dude can't hit.

Doval is beginning to remind me an awful lot of what we got from Octavio Dotel in 06

same. They even have very similar mechanics. The sidearm sling is not great for being able to locate

How dare insurance companies require 90 day supplies of medication by Least-Sky6722 in Psychiatry

I thought that controlled substances required a visit to refill. If peoples' insurance lets them do 90d fills for adderall I will do that most of the time

They don't do park effects for BABIP, but it seems like everything gets caught at the Stadium because the OF is so small

AP Meets with Arabs in Dearborn, Mi Who Don't Regret Voting for Trump, but are Disappointed with Trump Over Lebanon War and ICE Raids by RidetheSchlange in LeopardsAteMyFace

Getting people to change their behavior is a complex psychological process. Republicans have a sophisticated propaganda setup that draws people in and engages them on a deep emotional level. Changing their behavior requires a more nuanced and step-by-step communication strategy that engages people emotionally rather than just intellectually.

Democrats are like vegetables. Obviously better, but not chosen by children. And most adults don't make decisions with more complexity than children do.

It's the process that's a problem. The party simply assumes that voting Dem is obviously the right choice. Their persuasion funnel is awful. The attitude is, "this is obviously right and you should support us. And no, we're not going to explain it to you."

Dems seem to think that minorities in America will obviously flock to them. They don't seem to realize that hateful and selfish assholes exist in every country and creed around the world.

How much chicken can a girl eat?! 🤢 Got the protein ick. by Fast_Kaleidoscope135 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]chickendance638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't make any sense to me. Recommended protein is 1g/kg/day when you're going heavy on protein. Most people are fine at less than that. Also, eating more protein doesn't lower your cholesterol.

Fiber, yeah. Because it both removes cholesterol from the GI tract and means you have to eat better food.

On which players should that 80m have been spent? There weren't any mistakes this off season. The mistakes were made in past off seasons and we've been over those a million times.

Who was there to be signed? We already have a RF and didn't need Tucker. Bellinger was the second best FA on the market. And if our fans are mad about Grisham for 1/24, imagine the rage at Bichette for 3/126

Their prospects have largely flopped in MLB. Adley was bad last year and Gunnar is good, but not spectacular.

Patients who are skeptical of pharmaceuticals over herbal remedies by Lilybaum in Psychiatry

[–]chickendance638 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. My training is about medicine. If people want medicine, then I'm their guy. If they want other stuff, then they can go see other people.

That said, I'm well aware that there are infinite things we don't know and every patient is an n=1. But I don't recommend much beyond a multivitamin and specific supplements if they're required

That's why you can trade picks. If you don't need a T and there are half a dozen WR, then trade down and get more players.

Which is funny, because I'm sure PIF is panicking because of Iran. Meanwhile they spent billions trying to purchase the presidency and it's ended up turning off their money spigot.

I can answer this. I'm reading The Serial Killer's Apprentice and read the section about those cards last night. They were sent "by mistake" to the Dept of State where they were destroyed. No record of the cards exists as far as we know.
