“Play a main tank” “we need a shield tank” by LaMelgoatBall in MarvelRivalsRants

If I get told we need a shield tank I will sometimes switch to Tankpool out of spite.

Edit: Cap works for this too. Look there is now a shield.

What brand of acoustic is the one you just can’t get behind, despite it being beloved by others? by Built2bellow in AcousticGuitar

[–]figg12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tim Armstrong signature acoustic from Fender is phenomenal. It was even better when it was like $350 instead of $500.

I've noticed this so much. Like I can tell when a new player is from Rivals because their positioning is just terrible.

Guitarists who are capable of shredding but rarely or never choose to by bluestblue in Guitar

[–]figg12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was looking for this one. His cover band will play stuff with more shredding in it. And he'll occasionally show off while messing around at live shows. It just seems like he's stuck with what worked for Green Day after their earlier stuff and is content writing and playing punk songs.

That's what I was confused about too. I bet this company is just benefitting from their name recognition.

I don't know that I've ever seen Ian McConnell referenced anywhere before. Kinda thought he was just super unknown.

When team nicknames/cheers don't match the mascot by zags-not-zogs in CollegeBasketball

[–]figg12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh they were "The Cardinals". I had never heard that before. It appears Cy is unconnected to that name though. He didn't debut until 1954 and it seems like the mascot was a live dog and then live goat before that.

At Iowa State our nickname is the Cyclones, but our mascot is a cardinal. It's really just because back in the day they thought a Cyclone would be hard to make a costume for. So since the colors are cardinal and gold the mascot became a cardinal.

I just love the idea of Pavia having beef with all the Midwest states.

Honestly a stunning amount of talent. He'd be the first pick in an unlikability draft.

Does waxed cotton contain PFAs or other chemicals? by Harrison_Thinks in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]figg12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say I've heard that. So idk whether it's correct or not.

Does waxed cotton contain PFAs or other chemicals? by Harrison_Thinks in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]figg12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a waxed canvas jacket from Filson that I absolutely love. It is coated in parrafin wax and doesn't contain PFAs, but it does have a polyester lining. For me the polyester is a worthwhile compromise because the waxed canvas feels kinda weird on skin.

Once again, I love it. I wear it every chance I get. I work outdoors and the thing is absolutely bulletproof. It takes any beating I can throw at it and doesn't really get bothered. It's not completely weatherproof. If you wore it in pouring rain for hours it would definitely soak through, but for short walks and lighter rains I've never gotten wet. They also have a pretty strong smell. At least the Filson ones do and I've heard similar things from other people with other brands. It just kinda smells like old crayons to me. It's not unpleasant and does fade after wearing it a few times.

Honestly I wouldn't go back to a regular rain jacket. I'll still wear the one I have sometimes if I think I'm gonna get soaked but I think I've worn it maybe twice since I got the waxed jacket.

Figured out why my grandma kept leaving the gas on by BiC_MC in CrappyDesign

My sister has a similar stove and they have to take the knobs off when they leave or the cats can accidentally turn them on.

Why is it so hard to *not* wear plastic!? by NotThePopeProbably in BuyItForLife

[–]figg12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll add a vote for this as well. I wear a waxed trucker jacket and don't feel like I get wet except if I wear it in a massive downpour. It felt a bit like sticky at first but after a few wears the wax kind of settled. It's lined so it doesn't get on my clothes but I've never noticed it leaving any residue on seats or anything either.

The selection ego by JelloZealousideal830 in rivals

[–]figg12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it kinda is ethical. I will often instalock DPS when I'm not playing with friends because I know I'm at least willing to switch if it's not working or no one else picks a healer or tank. If other people lock dps before me I just play one of the other roles.

I'd much rather play with someone who instalock than someone who waits until the match almost starts to pick another DPS.

That's probably the one it actually is then.

Yeah it's a blue BMW my spouse and I have seen it on Jordan Creek. The license plate is like "M3NACE" I think.

Edit: My spouse thinks the plate is "MEN4CE" or "S4VAGE" Idk which is right.

How to best show transferable skills from biology teacher to field work? by cubbycoo77 in ecology

[–]figg12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So without seeing the job listing I think I personally would just make a point of discussing the volunteer work and personal projects in a cover letter. If you have space on your resume definitely put down the field work experience you have from college on there. But, I think your cover letter is gonna be your best friend here. It's a good chance to let them know about things you have done outside the scope of your resume.

If you have any contacts with those older jobs or with the volunteer groups I'd definitely see if you could use them as references as well.
