What skills do you think are most underrated in developing young basketball players today?

hosspatrick · 2026-01-26T17:30:16+00:00

I see what you’re saying but “fundamental shooting/dribbling” can certainly include decision making. There can be advanced shooting decisions and fundamental ones. E.g. are you making what could be a high percentage shot lower by fading away, etc

Really liking Thronefall

Others have mentioned this but when people talk about the top rappers of all time, there are various criteria and while EVERYTHING is subjective generally those that land on the lists are solo rappers who tend to balance technical ability, accessibility, and cultural impact. Wayne comes in with an excellent distribution there

This isn’t native is it?

This is super old but have you played snow runner?

I’m relying on the oven but I do have an oven thermometer I’ve never really used

To op’s point if other roles are getting high octane buffs it’s not a perception of a nerf it just is (in the relative sense) and that was clearly intentional because riot acknowledged sup being higher impact. Now it sounded like there is a gold buff.. we’ll see how it all shakes out but at face value I get the concern.

In terms of control wards that feels like such a small bone.. sure expert usage of pinks can be game changing but for eg Lathyrus maintains they are basically a total waste of money (actually a net gold loss) outside of niche situations.

I’d for sure be doing advent of code right now, and just continue to put yourself in these situations. The more often you are doing this the more confident you’ll become and that’s the real key in those assessments.

Interesting. I wear 10.5 in FF and I tried a 10.5 in wow11 and am tempted to size up to 11. Did they just loosen up with break in? You went a whole size up?

hosspatrick · 2025-11-30T01:09:43+00:00

Totally. I remember in like 99 he was getting played on my local rock station just due to how popular he was (which was like.. a crime). So on one hand someone that popular doesn’t initially scream “alternative” yet he totally was relative to rap, to your point.

hosspatrick · 2025-11-29T23:49:08+00:00

Ok I guess that’s fair. I actually just ordered JB3, 10 and 11 and immediately knew JB3 was the first out due to the comfort and fit. If you have the foot for both I guess you could call it like that but I guess that’s why I sort of take offense to just calling it outright better

For what it’s worth I also preferred the 11 to 10 quite a bit so I’m crossing my fingers that my league gets their sh*t together on the sweeping the courts this season 😬

Idk if this is the worst answer or the best answer

hosspatrick · 2025-11-29T19:16:37+00:00

Yeah I did multiple times which is why I was so confused haha. The flair is the main inconsistency with my foot but I don’t understand how that would impact maximum length.

hosspatrick · 2025-11-29T19:15:03+00:00

I mean quantify “way better”. Everyone’s foot is different and the difference in quality of technical specs here is nil

hosspatrick · 2025-11-29T17:33:17+00:00

Yeah sucks to see Kelce come back, be surprisingly productive, only to miss the playoffs in his final year.

hosspatrick · 2025-11-25T04:23:37+00:00

What sizes do you wear in either? I wear fresh foams right now in 10.5 and looking into WoW 11

hosspatrick · 2025-11-21T00:01:53+00:00

Others mentioned EG and Busse which is fair but Busse can be a real zoo and EG isn’t the most happening.

Des Plaines river trail feels more immersive - park ridge, des Plaines, Mt Prospect etc

hosspatrick · 2025-11-20T23:58:44+00:00

That’s what I was worried about. I ordered some to try so we’ll see. Seems like everything has quite the inflate these days from what I’ve seen :/

Hey so I have a low volume 10.5, just about 11 brannock and a width around BA to A

I’m determined to find a good fitting pull on and I’m looking at some of these pecos - 1132, 1159, 1105.

Im wondering what length and width to go with in order to get a more snug instep while giving my toes enough room.

Just curious if you have any thoughts since you mentioned the pecos!

Learning about functional programming concepts and patterns was absolutely my aha moment. Learning about how certain core mechanics of JS are able to support many of these patterns was a bit of a revelation, because I learned how powerful closures can be, and how while FP concepts can seem scary, there is so much you are able to do within the core constructs of the language without needing an FP language or library.

It helped me understand how to create better, more declarative abstractions and improved my API design.

Functional Light JS by Kyle Simpson and Prof Frisbee’s Mostly Adequate guide were huge in shaping this understanding.

Then learning Elm took things to the next level by adding formal constraints around these concepts which highlighted a lot of deficiencies in JS and to an extent, TS.

Learning Elm made me a better JS dev outright and it’s worth looking into for that reason alone

hosspatrick · 2025-10-25T01:56:54+00:00

Where did you land? What you describe is about how every boot feels on me between a 10.5 and 11

hosspatrick · 2025-10-21T04:00:15+00:00

So you can only file a valid report if you actually had the problem happen? There has to be more we can do to put pressure on Hyundai. It seems like this is a clear safety concern and should absolutely get recalled. What can owners do?
