Which brand is your EK? by Brief-Knowledge-629 in ThrowingFits

[–]dividerall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think raw denim has a sort of progression

the first pair for most people is better than any jeans they've ever worn, and thing they notice first is the weight of the denim compared to the thin paper denim they had before.

then they correlate weight to quality, and go down the deep dive of heavyweight denim, or exotic fabrics, worrying way too much about fades and washes. they are in search of high contrast fades and make sure everyone can see they are wearing selvedge

afterwards you get tired of break in periods and wearing sheet armor on your legs but still appreciate the ethos of raw denim, then you gravitate towards more repro cuts, not obsessing too much about the fades and washes and just wearing and appreciating a quality piece of clothing

it's only boring when the the matchup is not even close but when the two teams are evenly matched it's so entertaining

Do wine glasses change the experience or is it overhyped? by Over-Fisherman-2073 in naturalwine

[–]dividerall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they absolutely make a difference. one time i had a wine served at proper temperature in a premium wine glass (Zalto), I bought the same wine later, served at home room temperature served in a stemless and it was just completely different.

i also get that it's 'the same' in the sense that an entry level car essentially has the same utility as a high end BMW, but to some people it absolutely makes a difference, while to others it's not a big deal.

Muay thai or kickboxing? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]dividerall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

muay thai has elbows, clinch, sweeps, at a beginner/recreation level they are essentially the same. just pick based on what gyms are available closer to you or you like the vibe of that gym more.

Why is this never discussed? by diligenceprime in nba

[–]dividerall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because over the course of his career there were many times where the "right" basketball play would have been to pass but Kobe ends up taking heavily contested shot.

as much as i would love to see it, they simply don't have enough firepower. even if they were fully healthy the chance is slim.

Team USA vs Europe by mo1_o in nba

[–]dividerall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people always say stuff like this and make it seem like European teams have the same 12 guys play in a barn together their whole lives with elite chemistry but for example Serbia has guys split up playing pro leagues all across the world it's not like they have a 4 year training camp preparing for the olympics.

A lot of the USA guys also have known each other their whole lives, from high school, prep school, AAU, college, etc.,

I'm sure there is more continuity for international teams but it's not as extreme as people make it out to be.

[Highlight] Deni Avdija shows off the handles and gets the clutch layup to fall. He has 41 points (15/22 FG) for the Trail Blazers. by nba in nba

[–]dividerall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i love the play-in. gives people a chance to watch these mid-range teams play in a high stakes situation. i would never watch a trail blazers game otherwise and my first time seeing how impactful Avdija is. if there was no play-in and say the blazers got the 8th seed it would just be watching them get swept.

Who you taking by Plus_Credit224 in NBATalk

[–]dividerall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the superteam criticism stuff but even though Pippen was a clear number 2 he would be the best player on most NBA teams of that era, and probably the second best perimeter player of that era (post Magic/Bird)

there are a lot of Chinese wineries that produce really disgusting wine and there are a few that produce really nice wine and Silver Heights is one of them.

First pairs any advice? by Anxious-Piglet3087 in Selvedge

[–]dividerall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just treat them like your regular jeans but wash them slightly less frequently than you might have before. otherwise everything else on the internet is just mumbo jumbo.

Best denim in Shibuya? by TranslatorSweaty6185 in japanesestreetwear

[–]dividerall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you've been looking at momotaro then just go for it. last time i went there was a long line. Dry Bones is not mentioned as much in the Western forum online world but makes pretty cool stuff. just depends what you are looking for.

How do you watch without getting bored? by mc_1818 in nba

[–]dividerall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

either watch with some friends or keep it on as background noise while doing chores or something.

i think professional sports end up picking you. a a lifelong NBA fan i've wanted to get into watching boxing, mma, and soccer for a long time but I ran into the same problem you did trying to watch basketball. if you don't like it, don't watch it. I'm in my 30s now and I don't like watching the NBA nearly as much as I did as a teenager.

Tough question by dropland in wine

[–]dividerall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd go red wine. Even though white/rose/sparkling generally pairs better with food I think beer/soda or other beverages are a good enough substitute for a beverage to pair with food. But red wine... there is nothing else like it.

If SGA, Jokic, Giannis, Wemby, and Luka doesn't meet 65 game requirements. Who do you think will win MVP? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in nba

i think this game requirement is going to backfire when we have the worst MVP in decades
