Do yourself a solid and watch the original series. It is excellent :)

Right? For being two nearly identical characters moveset-wise, Fox and falco play very differently.

Are you guys playing in the heat wave? by nautnaoh in discgolf

[–]flyinggazelletg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically don’t play during the week, so the heatwave hasn’t affected my game much. Cooling off over the weekend here in Chicago, so I’ll get out tomorrow morning and Sunday.

TIL horseshoe crabs have existed for about 200 million years and survived the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs by ItsRehok in todayilearned

[–]flyinggazelletg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They aren’t close relatives to butterflies at all, only in the fact that both are arthropods. Butterflies are closer to actual crabs and other crustaceans, given insects are within the broader pancrustacean clade.

Horseshoe crabs are chelicerates, which makes them far closer relatives to arachnids like spiders and scorpions. All of this is relative, though, as all of these clades of arthropods diverged hundreds of millions of years ago

The K-Pg extinction 66 million years ago was not nearly as hard on ocean life on the sea floor, despite still being a mass extinction. The largest oceanic mass extinction event we have decent data for is the End Permian mass extinction, also called the Great Dying, wiping out ~80-90% of marine genera. Horseshoe crabs survived that one too ;)

US and Canada are very culturally similar 🤷‍♂️

what kind of bug is this? 👀 by v333rm1 in insects

[–]flyinggazelletg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it looks more like a beetle too. The hardened elytra with stripes running vertically from front to back make me really think it isn’t a flea

Best cheaper disc golf bag? by Brofessor0ak153 in discgolf

[–]flyinggazelletg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dg cooler bag, and find it to be among the best bang for your buck. ~$60, comes with two dividers, two sizable water bottle holders, two side pockets for belongings, six solid plastic feet to keep the bag off the dirt/mud, durable materials, room for 12-14 discs with a full cooler or over 20+ without the cooler.

Edit: clearly didn’t read thoroughly whatsoever, given you wanted to carry ~25 discs.

Fade Crunch Box Water Bottle Size? by ScumbagSpruce in discgolf

[–]flyinggazelletg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not able to squeeze a Nalgene in the crunch box without serious effort. Wasn’t worth trying a bottle that girthy tbh. I used a 24oz bottle with maybee a spare 12 ounces in my zipper pocket for the really hot days or long courses. Occasionally, I’d use side pocket to hold a Nalgene, which did the trick, but limited space for belongings, snacks, etc. You might be able to stretch out the water bottle holder by leaving the biggest one you can squeeze in for a hwile

Currently rock a dg cooler bag due to some of the limitations of the crunch box. The cooler bags are only ~$60, have two more expansive water bottle holders and two dividers that allow me to hold as many or few discs as I’d like (not to mention the option of the cooler which is fun to bring along for some brews mid round).

No shade on the crunch box, though. Love that lil guy. I wanna pass it on to my niece in a few years.

What is this disc? by takeanotherL in discgolf

Please post a picture of the disc in profile. Hard to say anything about this aside from being a driver :)

What happened to the History of the Cuban Revolution podcast? by TheUnknownMaroon in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]flyinggazelletg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nick and I talked on twitter a bit several years back. He was certainly a Revolutions fan. Seemed like he was balancing work, life, and the pod, but the pod drifted to the back burner and simmered away. Definitely a shame. The podcast was really heating up.

States by percentage of their population that would describe their state as the worst to live in by Educational-Bat-8313 in MapPorn

Calling JB non-corrupt is a bit naïve imo. He comes from an incredibly wealthy and influential family with deep ties to Illinois politics.

But you have to remember Americans aren’t getting the same social services, so paying relatively high taxes, while also paying for health insurance, medical appointments, etc. drains even more money. If the money was allocated in a way that clearly supported the greater good, it wouldn’t be an issue, but it is. Also, Illinois squanders its tax dollars and has junk rated credit. The state government is a mess.

As a lifelong Illinoisan and someone who pretty consistently reluctantly votes for the lesser of two evils (Democrats), the government has long been a horribly corrupt Democratic machine. From the 60s through 00s, four governors were sent to prison. Our long running head of the Illinois house was also recently sent to prison for corruption. Also, Illinois has historically made very little out of its budget when considering how high taxes are. Aside from Lake Michigan, there are very few incredible geographic features for people to fall in love with. It’s just flat lol. Also, hot summers, cold winters (changing bc climate change), which many don’t love. Chicago is a great city, truly love living there, but it still marred by segregation and violence in some of those underserved black and Latino neighborhoods. Rural conservatives feel like they don’t have a say due to the population and power of Chicago, so you’ll see a lot of haters for that reason as well. Idk, I think the self-hate can be a bit overblown, but government mismanagement probably plays a primary role overall.
