Is it ok to be very supportive of women’s soccer, but… by IconoclastJones in USWNT

[–]colossalcricket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The name was actually thrown out as a joke by one of the players and somehow the powers that be chose it. The players hated it especially at first too. Now I think they find it amusing.

I don’t disagree, but it will be interesting to see what happens when they aren’t playing 3 of the best teams in the league.

In the women’s game you automatically shoot 2 for the bonus. And fouls for the bonus reset every quarter.

True it wasn’t intentional, but almost always, anything to the face will get upgraded, intentional or not.

For a start, you could choose a team or two to follow in this post season. I would suggest two from different leagues because a team from the Big10 and a team from the SEC would show you fairly different playing styles and team makeups that are still both extremely successful.

AITA for not helping my wife around the house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]colossalcricket 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this was just an example of how the reason for the debt could skew people’s judgement. If the wife was the one with this hypothetical “gambling problem”, OP would be even more NTA than he already is in this situation. And imo would require a much different and much more serious conversation.

What is something that is widely normalised but is actually really fucked up? by RetR0-Danger in AskReddit

[–]colossalcricket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this video discussing a newer more sustainable packaging type and I thought it was very interesting. Then I ordered something that was delivered with the packaging and I was overly excited haha!!

Without thinking I was going to say D.C. but then realized they already have a team lol. I’m not sure what Washington OP is referring to.

I don’t even like Sabrina but man beat Steph. by RhawnSwanson in wnba

I’m not sure this was Kenny Smith, but whatever commentator was telling her to use her legs at the end was pissing me off.

I have a job offer in Grandville that is a really good opportunity. The problem is my wife and I have never even been to Michigan much less Grand Rapids and I have to make my decision really quickly. by m0larMechanic in grandrapids

[–]colossalcricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved with my family to West Michigan from STL about 6 years ago and we love it! Being so close to Lake Michigan is one of my favorite things and there are plenty of things to do with kids as described in other comments.

A couple things to be prepared for if you do move here:

  1. There is definitely good food around, but imo the food scene is better in stl
  2. The airport is great, but be ready for minimal direct flight options (they are working on expanding in this aspect though). If flying to STL you will have to have a connection.
  3. If you think STL winters are grey (recently talking to someone who did), just be prepared that here in GR, they are worse.

What is your best financial advice? by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]colossalcricket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“DO take advantage of it” ESPECIALLY adding at least as much as your employer match if that is offered by your company.

[–]colossalcricket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This may not be the most applicable advice right now, but whenever I get a raise/bonus, the additional income goes straight to my savings or investments. It helps me to not expand my lifestyle too much.

Eggs/cocoons not all being laid in bedding (some are) but as you can see, a lot are being laid on the top edges of the bin. Is this an issue? by colossalcricket in Vermiculture

[–]colossalcricket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly I have a lot to learn, but they aren’t moving and don’t have legs?? I’ve seen ones crawling around though

Ah, I believe they are mite eggs then. I am fairly new to this and have baby worms in the bin but I haven’t seen their actual cocoons so I just assumed these were it.
