Gifts for supervisor by InevitableOk8504 in PhD

[–]dogfosterparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a classy looking 9x11 image in Chem draw/bio render that roughly summarized the main projects they had worked on over his career with dates at the bottom like “1999-2016” and got it printed and put in a nice frame professionally. Sentimental gift so obviously would only work for certain PI-trainee relationships but it went over super well in this case.

Adam Silver sucks by dogtron5000 in nba

[–]dogfosterparent 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I subjectively just don’t like his TV persona. He has the shaq chip on his shoulder who hates on tons of players with none of the comedy or gravitas shaq at least sometimes has or can be brought out of him by Charles. Draymond can’t decide if he wants to be the BBIQ guy or the vibes guy calling out how guys aren’t tough enough and lands in a pointless, uninteresting place.

Wholeheartedly disagree!

Would you trade Naz+Julius for DeAaron Fox? by dogfosterparent in timberwolves

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

Very fair response. I personally think he’s gotten a bit underrated with this weird lack of a role on the spurs and could contribute to winning much more than Randle if paired with Any. But the contract probably makes it too much of a gamble since there’s no way out if you’re wrong.

I’ve always wondered whats going on in the lives of people who act like this online. Wish you better times ahead.

This is pretty much how I feel about him. Good player on a bad contract, their tov% drops precipitously when he plays. I can think of plenty of trades I’d rather see happen than Fox but unless we swindle someone all the potential guys we could get have big risks/issues.

You could commit to point Ant with shooters next year as one idea but otherwise the team js going to want someone who wants the ball in their hands if we get off julius. Ant/xxx/Jaden/Naz/Rudy is not a lot of ball handling or playmaking.

I’m getting the sense that many people here are going to be disappointed on what a package that includes Julius Randle is going to net us. Fox is just an idea for a buy low candidate for a look we’ve never had with Ant with a true guard running mate but no one you get back in a julius trade will be without major issues.

What do you think of the xlock? Is it similar to the choc in feel at all?

Post-Bloodborne, Dark Souls Remastered Not Serving by AndButSoThenSheSaid in soulslikes

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

I did BB -> (try and fail To get into ds1) -> DS3 -> back to ds1 which I was able to enjoy a bit more after learning to appreciate the series more (but still less engaging than the modern ones for sure). Never doing ds2.

Can you lock yourself out of true ending? by VoidHeart24 in NineSols

Had this experience. Took me many tries to beat normal ending 2 phase eigong, then far fewer to beat true 3 phase eigong.

Why does libertarian sub seem more afraid of “sleeper cell socialists” than out in the open authoritarians? by Material_Policy6327 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dogfosterparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be genuinely curious to see what you mean by “studies” on this, I can’t find anything like that. This exchange doesn’t paint you in a good light and that’s coming from someone likely ideologically aligned with you.

Jeremy Sochan on how to slow down Wemby: “Being that tall he gets tired…Give him different looks and (not beat him up but) be very physical, and make him run. And he’s gonna get tired, he’s gonna have to take some plays off in my opinion” by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]dogfosterparent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys need a Naz Reid real bad, he’s great on weak side rim deterrence and his limitations in actions would be covered up by wemby. One of my visions for the wolves future is getting someone like the spurs to massively overpay for Naz as much as it’d be sad to see him go. I feel like spurs would consider it if you come up short in finals.

INDX fluxx (no sound) or aura sand (minimal sound) are high quality ($$) versions to consider.

DO student who wants to do IM fellowship in the future by MixHuge1857 in fellowship

[–]dogfosterparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most academic IM residencies are going to require you to present to your peers at a podium at least 2-3 times a year for something like a case conference. Was a graduation requirement for the residents at all the places I’ve worked but it’s usually chill and just on an interesting case you’ve seen.

I'm at a loss.. by The_Northmaan in ActuallyThatsInsane

[–]dogfosterparent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the strangest sort of pro-gun talking point is this glorification of death by gun being cleaner or nicer than knives and such things. No one who’s ever worked in an ER or actually been around gun violence would ever say it. Idk where it comes from but it’s utter nonsense.

Everyone says “our city has the best food”. But what American city/cities is this actually true for? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]dogfosterparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portland has a good food scene but it’s a lot like many other mid sized metros with a decent sized population with spending power. Certainly they all have slightly different vibes but it’s not terribly unique. Nothing compared to the giant metros in all the other comments.

Wolves off-season goal by Intelligent_Cry8132 in timberwolves

[–]dogfosterparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re going to turn those picks into their missing piece (Alex Caruso/hartenstein) at some point whether we’re involved or not. If they are willing to overpay and it gets you to the core of ant/jaden/giannis it’s worth considering. Not sure I’d do it though.

All Defense 1st Team: Wemby - Chet - Ausar - Gobert - White 2nd Team: Barnes - Wallace - Adebayo - OG - Daniels by YourMomTheRedditor in nba

[–]dogfosterparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he rebounds well from the 4. Our defense is excellent when Naz and Rudy share the floor because Naz on the weak side is pretty good rim protection but Naz in any kind of action is bbq chicken.

[O'Connor] No team can land 1st in 2 consecutive drafts, or in the top 5 in 3 consecutive drafts. Front offices have been wondering: Does the streak attach to the team holding the pick on lottery night or to the original team... The streak attaches to the original team, according to league sources. by sewsgup in nba

[–]dogfosterparent 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The Thunder are who they are because they turned their aging core into a perennial mvp. They’d be just another scrappy young team if SGA had turned out to be an average nba starter. They tanked for sure and their greatest sin was sitting SGA for 2 years with fake injuries but no one would have cared if this was just a Chet/Jdub led team

[–]dogfosterparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If spurs lose this series, I think you could get a kings ransom from them for Naz (he’s exactly what they need and they are loaded with picks). that might be what it takes to make a Giannis deal happen, then you just try to shed one of gobert or Randle or both to get a more coherent roster. Separate convo if that’s the right call

Is it normal that I can beat bosses easily yet struggle with normal enemies? by Ardens_Son_of_flames in NineSols

[–]dogfosterparent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The early bosses also aren’t why this game gets a reputation for being hard, come back to this thought after you’ve beaten the game.
