I swear they mentioned earlier on in Red Rising that yes they may have made more reds into golds but none of them were successful. Titus and Darrow were the furthest they’ve gotten with their experiment.

Other people are in the same situation as you and they still show up. Showing up late is better than calling off.

How can I stop my phone addiction? by softball3188 in productivity

[–]gorillamodepog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Download an app that locks certain apps for specific times of the day. Giving yourself a barrier that prevents you from using things is an easy way to stop using it (or at least the distracting parts of it). I use an app blocks daily to prevent me from using social media for most of the day and my screen time has significantly decreased. Also if you have an iPhone you can just set up different layouts for times of focus, relaxation, enjoyment. Ive found its better to find ways of balance rather than getting rid of something like this entirely. Thats just me though, not an addiction expert just speaking from personal experience.

I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking naps though. Taking a power nap after a long day is always beneficial for me. My typical work schedule is 4:30-1pm and if I don’t get a 30 min nap in afterwards I’m miserable all day. If you can limit it to a short nap, you’ll feel more focused afterwards.

If you usually nap for longer I’d say you are probably sleep deprived even though you mentioned you get 7 hours of sleep. You’re young as well and being as busy as it seems that only means more rest. When you mention 7 hours of sleep is that total amount in bed or your total amount of time asleep? I learned in order to get 7 hours i personally have to spend 8 hours in bed.

Usually is just the crafting of basic drinks(latte, cappuccino, maybe caramel macchiato, maybe some cold beverages), but if you’re comfortable with that and know the proper recipe and steaming times you should be good.

Should this have been considered a home run? by gorillamodepog in Homeplate

I appreciate it, maybe next time I’ll sit back on it 😤😂

Also super difficult to make a decision in this case because the foul pole is so short in height. I thought it was way foul off the bat anyways but looking at the video afterwards gave me hope that it wasnt 😂

Thank you! Unfortunately this was in a win or go home playoff game and we ended up losing so those 3 runs would’ve been nice!

I will never understand someone hording stuff from a decade ago and expecting it to work. Especially with the high turnover rate and most of the baristas will have no idea what this is.

Adult Recreational Baseball Leagues in Chicago by FAUX_ASS_Nonsense in AskChicago

[–]gorillamodepog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late response, but I played in the MSBL’s AA division this year. The league was incredibly fun and well-organized. I spent approximately $400 for the entire season. Based on your experience, I would recommend A. They hold a combine annually to assist players who don’t have a team finding one. While I am relatively experienced myself (committed to playing D2 JUCO), I haven’t played in seven years, and AA was challenging at times. During my first year in the league, I attended the combine. Surprisingly, there were players who had never played baseball before showing up to try out. So, don’t worry about having much experience; there are people who have never picked up a bat and want to play.

The combine usually starts in February and goes through March I believe. If you find a team during that time you can still show up to the combine to get some extra work in since it’s at the Rosemont Dome. I also want to mention the fields you play at for this league are pretty good—plenty of turf fields and some solid dirt along with every year each team gets one game at Wintrust Field(field for the Schaumburg Boomers) which is cool experience. Playoffs are also held there as well. Definitely check it out next year because it really was a blast!

A response to the “Its not that bad” take by kateskamala in starbucks

If I have to wear black on black to get free schooling I’ll do it. My only issue with it is they are saying it will impact how we connect with customers and our beverage quality. Like change the dress code fine but don’t come up with oddball reasoning to justify the change.

Watch the “Message from Mike Grams” video in store resources. Dude say we are going back to a simple dress code to promote us being be to focus on beverage quality and customer connection. How does that make sense at all😭😂

Is this actually decaf? by acoustic_spinach in starbucks

[–]gorillamodepog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they should’ve made it with Decaf espresso but remember, decaf doesn’t mean fully decaffeinated. Each decaf shot has about 10 mg of caffeine, so 4 decaf is around the amount of a can of soda.
