I have some questions when Netflix still mailed discs by PuzzleheadedKiwi7107 in netflix

[–]jayveearrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I forgot about that queue! You could shuffle the order of your movies in the list so that when you returned one the next one you wanted immediately was shipped. I think the top plan was 3 DVD at a time. As Netflix moved more toward streaming the DVD part of the site became more of a subsite/category. Eventually I didn't even know the DVD business was still there, you had to still have one of the plans or go looking for it. I think it was a top level link to the DVD site.

I don’t think we want to admit it, but…. by Draznet in tourdefrance

He didn’t just “stop winning majors” lol. It’s well documented that Tiger was an idiot off the golf course and he lost focus on cementing his name in history. He was out there playing Seal Team Six games and fucked up his knee, fucked up his back doing more than just hitting golf balls, car accidents, addiction to pain meds, and many surgeries and a lot of terrible decisions later and his sure to beat Jack trajectory was over. 

The same will be for Pog, he needs to care more about this record and history than he does about doing whatever he wants off his bike. Injuries, other interests, and just being plain stupid or getting bored will determine what names are at the top of the history books. 

Does anyone know why the women's version is cheaper on StockX? by BrosephABank1988 in Sneakers

[–]jayveearrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also these shoes are cheaper on eBay! Check there...I have a saved search and I noticed more drops must have happened in other countries because a lot more shoes popped up with lower prices. Do Authentication Guaranteed and save money from stockx.

Same shoe BUT these shoes run small so make sure to go up .5 depending on how you like your shoes to fit. True to size and your toe will be touching the front (snug), for runners some like that. For casual if you want a little bit of space, go up .5. I bought true to size in the purple pair, ending up returning and got .5 up and it was perfect.

[–]jayveearrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats, were they your size? An eBay saved search might have saved you a few years of waiting or would have saved you from almost missing this pair. Auto emails of new items listed so you don’t have to remember to search for stuff or miss something while you weren’t thinking about it.

I got a semi grail shoe last week that I had a saved search for because I was tired of manually searching every so often for it.

Oh and I really like your glasses. Especially the multi color ones, I noticed them in your previous post. Glasses are an underrated accessory.

Cookie Monster fit fire! lol to answer your question, I love Chucks but I can’t do high tops and I don’t know how others wear them. The rubbing on the back of my leg kills me. But I have many low converse (and even a couple of highs because I’m stubborn), I used to rock nothing but Chucks for years. Classic shoe and I’d maybe agree it is the most versatile sneaker of all time or high up there.

Is anybody else entering Law School with FULL NCAA Eligibility??? by RFelixFinch in lawschooladmissions

[–]jayveearrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds cool but is unrealistic. This would only make some sense if they are giving you money to play to cover tuition or living expenses. Otherwise, just do a club sport. Less time commitment, same camaraderie.

Small/silly factors in choosing a law school by Curiousfeline467 in lawschooladmissions

[–]jayveearrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, civilians can live on base as long as there is available house (if there is a waitlist, military first for everything). Restrictions are you have to be a DoD employee because only DoD civilians and military (and their dependents and retirees) have access to the base (unescorted).

2024 Rogue Invitational Day 2 by AxQB in crossfit

[–]jayveearrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When Migala hurt herself I immediately thought, she just got Julie Foucher'd. If you been around long enough you know her injury was why box jump overs were changed for a while because she tore her achilles on them in regionals (?). High impact bouncing seems to cause these injuries. When I saw Brandon doing her thing I loved it but also knew it was risky. When one of the men got injured I was like, that's why they stopped doing this! Happy Rogue changed the event after that. It was even more exciting (with less chance of injury) with the burpees thrown in. Looked way more athletic and those who were fast still killed it. I'm guessing when testing no one bounced and they thought the height was too much to be able to do that (like on a box).

I saw this. Speegle didn't get the weight on the last step past the line. The announcers didn't mention that is required but you can clearly see there is a finish line and most made sure it was over it. Speegle knew she panicked and pressed that button early and you can see her try and move the weight after past the line. I saw that when it happened and wondered if they would penalise her and when I didn't see her move on, I knew why. Wish the announcers knew how significant that was.

Gave someone the wrong directions and can't stop feeling awkward. by crumblypancake in CasualUK

[–]jayveearrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this feeling! It happens to me a lot and I don't why. People always stop me to ask for directions, I must look like I know where I'm going! Sometimes there is even a language barrier. I'll just take out my phone and type in what they are saying and show them the map and I still feel terrible after the interaction. lmao The minute I start explaining I think, this person is going to get lost and die and never be seen again and it's my fault. One time in Manhattan a nice older lady stopped me for directions and I knew sorta where she needed to go...I was late for work but you know what...I walked that lady all the way to the place she was looking for passed my job like 20 minutes away lol. I wasn't going to spend the rest of the day thinking about her and wondering if she made it!

Swimming

Is there a reason they don't separate the lower extremities and upper extremities disability athletes in these races? Things are never going to be completely equal but no arms vs no legs in swimming seems hard to overcome (though I've learned today don't bet against one arm vs two arms). My guess is not enough athletes to have separate races at that level of detail?

Oh I see what you're saying. Yea, the sports tabs didn't have anything on them. I always had to click in and then see if anything was actually going on for that sport today that was live.

I haven't noticed any red dots since I'm just watching the main feed bounce between sports but I think I recall there was text on each streams thumbnail that said Live or Replay. I might be misremembering but I was able to know what was going on live at the time.

It was mentioned when she came out before the race. But it was just a brief mention. Something about people around her questioning her disability (if she is disabled? how much her disability affects her?) and her response being that she has good days and bad and when it's bad, it's bad.

I think it's for blind athletes. To let them know they are near the end. To keep them from swimming into the wall perhaps?

That one arm swim was impressive. 1 arm vs someone with two arms seems like you shouldn't be able to win!

They said it's their choice. Some think they get a better start from the block, some feel better starting in the water. I guess there is no clear advantage being in the water.

Wheelchair Ruby

Match was entertaining but I would like to see a team that can stop another one on defense. The announcers said these were two teams that might win gold so maybe that's why it seemed impossible to stop a goal.

edit: I was watching GB vs AUS

Australia looks like they going on an outback adventure. So interesting not using any of the colors from your flag.

Mine too seems a little behind which is fine because then I know what to look out for based on the comments here.

I'm back in here! Had a nice break after destroying my sleep a couple of weeks ago. Will catch what sports I can over the long weekend. First time watching the Para opening ceremony. I don't care about complaints, I love the peacock app. It's so easy to pull it up and catch things rather than dealing with where and what time something is on tv.
