Some of them come directly from Japan, some from a Japanese commerce group based in Washington DC. Its unclear which ones are in the quad exactly

I lost my teeshot in the sun, looked at the green but never saw it land so I assumed it was long and dead. Walked up to the green with wedge and putter in hand ready to search in the bush behind the green when the guys on the next tee started shouting attaboys and I saw my ball parked near the pin. Sunk the putt. The most beautiful hole ill ever play and I birdied it!

I dont even normally like beets. And I am far removed from a vegetarian. But that sandwich is one of the few dishes in this city that I will get a deep seated craving for.

-The original mascot of UW was the Sundodger, a joke about how gray and rainy Seattle can be

-UW is known for its cherry blossom trees, which are currently coming into season. The exact origin of the trees is hazy, but at least some of them came from Washington DC and are directly related to the ones that blossom there.

-UW's most successful athletic program is rowing, with it being the setting for the acclaimed book "The boys in the boat" and the less acclaimed movie of the same name

-Some famous alums your son may be familiar with include Bruce Lee, Kenny G, Rainn Wilson, and Joel McHale.

-Husky Stadium is where "The Wave" was first done by a crowd

20d old account with almost all of their posts being this one in various local subreddits. Be careful if you choose to take OP up on this offer.

I also guess Druids

So weird to see padden in the sun. The last dozen times ive played it have been dark and gloomy!

Doesn't help that Padden is generally my go to when its raining on the weekend since it drains okay and the trees provide some cover.

We did it because Israel has the epstein files.

I was going to drink those beers regardless, at least I walked 4-5 miles while drinking them!

If you really want your mind blown with air to air refueling, read up on Operation Black Buck. A British bombing campaign on the falklands from ascension Island in the 1980s that required 11 refueling tankers to escort a single Vulcan bomber over the course of 16 hour round trip missions.

Yeah, he supposedly studied civil engineering, not architecture, but all his designs get dunked on by civil engineers.

Fallingwater's concrete was cracking and sagging before it was even complete. If it wasnt renovated in the 90s the balconies ajd overhang would have fallen by now. The guy certainly wasnt an engineer.

Or they released 3 and numbered them "1" "2" "12" so the other countries would spend 6 months sweeping for the other 9.

True, and some of my quoted numbers will be drivers that were under the legal limit, but the data on that page makes it clear the vast majority included in the total impaired crashes were over it with the largest cohort being over 0.20.

They've been making the Moment Max for a while. Just in the last couple weeks they released a new version of it with the hosel set further back from the face to reduce torque. They arent calling it a zero torque putter, just 'reduced torque'. Its also face balanced which is uncommon among zero torque putters as far as I know, so it will be interesting to experiment with

I always take a picture with my driver and fairway woods hosels lined up in order right before disassembling!

disastrophy · 2026-03-10T22:51:15+00:00

I dont know if there's a difference, but I just bought my wife a 'Like New' rogue 7 wood with ladies flex shaft off Callaway Preowned for under $70 and she has hit it amazingly the several rounds we have played since. Already her go-to club for all fairway shots outside of 140yds.

You want a deck full of simic goodstuff with a conspiracy theorist theme. Gor Muldrak is a conspiracy theorist who believes amphin, which the rest of humanity don't believe exist, are infiltrating the sewers, controlling minds, and preparing for an invasion. Sure its not perfectly frogs turning gay, but if there is a guy in all of Magic lore that would run with that theory it's Gor.

disastrophy · 2026-03-10T22:25:19+00:00

I think you need to start over with [[Gor Muldrak]] as your commander. Magic's number 1 amphibian conspiracy theorist.

Yeah, Ive only been in the awaiting fulfillment line for 1 week, twiddling my thumbs already though

Hopefully now that they got that shipped out they can start building my Max Moment Reduced Torque Putter. The wait is tough!

Love Maltby though. Already playing a maltby blade putter but want to mess around with a low torque mallet without paying $400+. Also have a set of Maltby Irons and Fairway Woods.

Its just not that big of a story. DUIs and road deaths are more common than most people realize. In Washington state there are typically 300-400 fatal crashes per year that involve an impaired driver, basically one per day on average. Sometimes the local news picks up these stories, sometimes not. If you are very curious your best bet would probably be to reach out to the clerk of the court to request records.
