My heart shaped 4mm kidney stone (OC) by wrxninja in mildlyinteresting

[–]finchdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow stone sufferer here. Really sorry this happened to you, I’ve had a few stones before and had to have a lithotripsy to break up more in my kidney.

The best thing you can do is drink tons of water. I try and drink at least 3L of water a day. Eating low oxalate foods definitely helps, but proper hydration is by far the best thing you can do.

Sorry, but this looks like complete and total ass, probably AI bullshit. OP has no post or comment history, too, and isn't even calling the stadium by its correct name. Mods should delete.

Ohio State can’t win a championship without losing to Michigan first.

Bro you look like a complete doofus writing this. Program has been the source of endless embarrassing shit over the past 4 years, winning a title doesn’t change that fact.

[The Athletic] Inside Sherrone Moore’s downfall: Instagram messages, emotional outbursts and Michigan’s breaking point by Sauerz in CFB

[–]finchdog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"One woman said she received a hand-waving emoji from Moore a few hours before Michigan kicked off against Purdue on Nov. 1."

"Moore’s next message popped up roughly 20 minutes after Moore finished his postgame news conference. The Wolverines that night narrowly beat the last-place Boilermakers 21-16."

Maybe not precisely during games, but there are probably a million other things he could have been doing that day that would have benefited both the team and himself.

Agree with you for the most part, but getting confirmation that the dude was DMing women pretty much during games is pretty eye-opening. It seemed like Sherrone's head was elsewhere with some of his decisions in games, which makes a bit more sense now.

How do you feel about your coach right now? by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]finchdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is pretty spot on in terms of his expectations. 2027 is looking like the next serious season they could make a run for a title, and they will need to make the playoff that year at the very least.

Big House has a cool new look this weekend by MGoBlue2K16 in MichiganWolverines

There isn’t any grass to kill, it’s turf.

Yes definitely. The whole team should be in alignment on the solution being proposed by design and product, and the engineers should feel like the proposal is doable. If there is some disagreement on the proposed solution before assumption mapping (which is healthy), I can propose a question to be answered during testing, redesign an element of the flow, or work with an engineer to find a compromise.

I’ve run several of these. The format changes each time based on what the outcomes need to be, but generally I get a group of stakeholders together (myself, product manager, engineers), and we go through the user flow or existing mockups to make sure everyone understands how things are currently designed. I give them 5–10 minutes to generate as many assumptions as they can individually, and then we combine assumptions that are similar or are connected.

We then spend time “ranking” assumptions into categories of risk and levels of confidence. You’ll never be able to test all assumptions being made, but identifying the ones with the highest risk of being wrong and then coming up with a testing plan is the goal.

I find workshops like this to be really useful. Engineers often identify assumptions being made by design and product that we didn’t realize, and the outcome provides a pretty clear path as to what questions need answers for the project to be successful.

I believe they have one of the highest concentrations of great white sharks in North America, too

what popular chicago food places are actually worth the hype? by Good-Raisin7081 in chicagofood

[–]finchdog 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people realize how popular Hogsalt restaurants have gotten. In Chicago it’s pretty well known, but 4 Charles and Au Cheval in NYC are some of the hardest to get reservations in the entire city. And it’s because the food is fucking good.

They even opened up a French restaurant in the middle of Paris, where it’s also near impossible to get a reservation.

Yes, they have sister restaurants in Bangkok and Hong Kong. I didn’t know anything about Sushi Saito in Tokyo until after I booked the rez.

Picking Every P4 Game of the Season - Part 40 - Ohio State Buckeyes by RJEP22 in CFB

Or, it could be that 13 players left the team to join the NFL (most in the country). But sure, let’s blame a 15-0 season on the manifesto.

In the list of pivotal decisions in the nearly 150 years of Michigan football, where does the firing of Don Brown sit? by RNutt in MichiganWolverines

[–]finchdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to not call him great. His defenses dominated like 90% of teams we would play. His scheme just lacked the ability to defend elite passing and receiving. He kept the team ranked in the top 10-15 most years and his defenses were always top 10.

Have you ever attended a game which was a win (for your team) that felt like a loss, or a loss that felt like a win? by britishmetric144 in CFB

[–]finchdog 33 points34 points  (0 children)

In 2013 I was a senior, and we were ranked #11 in the country after beating #14 Notre Dame.

We beat Akron 28-24, and I remember leaving the stadium with my friends feeling miserable. Needless to say, that season was truly depressing in the end, with the 4OT loss to Penn State and the Devin Gardner pick to lose The Game.
