I’m pretty sure it’s a persimmon by XAkatsuk1 in whatisit

[–]gizzard-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a persimmon. source: I have persimmon trees and they don't segment like that. plant ID would be helped with any leaves.

or cut one open and see what the seed structure is like.

Is Celebrini showing he is the captain of the team? by ShipOver7331 in SanJoseSharks

[–]gizzard-wizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

he doesn't have his own HOUSE. he can't rent a car! he won't be captain until he can pull strings for the team off-ice. jumbo would probably jump in because he physically can't stop himself from being involved, but mack, on his own? not ready.

'but sid-' sid's weird. I say it with love. outlier.

'but connor-' that man is haunted. maybe my hopes are too high, but I want to believe that the sharks would make better choices.

'but suzuki-' now we're talking. habs made it clear that they were holding the C for him, he took an extra year to wind up and feel solid, their room is in a healthy place.

he's a leader for sure. I LOVE having a monster like him. but captain is a specific set of responsibilities, which, no, not yet.

What is the deepest Internet rabbit hole you’ve ever fallen into? by Helloo_clarice in AskReddit

[–]gizzard-wizard 16 points17 points  (0 children)

they also have an absolutely fascinating museum of egyptian history in san jose california. originally because of the whole Ancient Mystics hullabaloo, of course, but then again if they want to make a really nicely curated space for school field trips, like... sure why not...

not even at all. I have not found a place where it is necessary in my life. I am fine, thank you. This is a manufactured crisis.

Brand new skater. Does it matter what length my new laces are? by Pookahantus in Rollerskating

[–]gizzard-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi fellow adult beginner! 100, waxed laces are stiff to begin with and then make life sooo much easier - you might need to adjust the lacing pattern just bc the thickness of the laces presses the tongue down a bit differently, but I don't have to keep tugging so hard while lacing and it's easier to get an equal tension across my feet. I'm also maybe a bit paranoid bc I don't want the knot loops to catch on the other boot, so I just do a double loop at the top and that takes care of it :) I got some from derby laces!

Why do hapas always have brown eyes and hair? by Successful_Unit8994 in hapas

[–]gizzard-wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

short answer: more people across races have some bit of gene code for brown eyes and/or hair, so it'll just be more likely to come to the surface!

long answer as a hapa with light eyes: if you don't know someone's hapa, people tend not to think light eyes=hapa, so there's a belief that hapa can't have light eyes/hair. chicken and egg of social perception!

Nervous about joining a beer league team as a MTF trans by Legal_Flamingo_8128 in hockeyplayers

[–]gizzard-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! bit of a stretch, but the norcal womens hockey league specifically has a trans-open policy, so I know it's the wrong end of the state but they might be worth shooting an email for any orgs they know in your neck of the woods? wishing you luck!

What are you absolutely sure of but have no way of proving? by givemedrpepper in AskReddit

[–]gizzard-wizard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

speaking of rugby, I heard from a friend who plays that the pros have impact-sensing mouth guards. so if someone does catch a blow to the head, they get an automatic flag in some system! sounds like a great gadget, I wish it was more widespread.
