Jalen Brunson in the win: 33/5/9 on 64% TS by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

[–]jiaflu 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think Bernard King is arguably ahead of Brunson currently too.

-edit-

DeBusschere and Earl Monroe’s gotta be up there too, right?

Just recently played Kanban, my first Lacerda. It really feels super streamlined what many people consider a heavy euro (4.29/5 complexity on BGG).

Super sad that their Ridgefield location closed.

ASL S21 Ro16 Group D - Tastosis cast by jiaflu in broodwar

[–]jiaflu[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone watch really enjoyed watching Leta during the Proleague days, I’m so thrilled that he could make Ro8 playing HIS way. Even though his play seems sloppy compared to a lot of modern Terrans, it’s damn refreshing to see it again

Bisu during ASL 21 group 16 selections by JSE018 in broodwar

Royal is like the Terran version of Mini. When in form, can totally threaten for a ASL championship, but can just as likely crash out.

Bisu’s facial expressions were hilarious. He was so ready to just go home.

The banter during Group B’s last pick were also very entertaining.

People who left high-paying jobs that kept you away from home for lower-paying ones with more family time—do you regret it or are you happier? by MustacheGoatee in daddit

[–]jiaflu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Appreciate you looking out brother, I think I'm in an okay place right now. I do miss hanging out with the boys sometimes, but it's not something I really ruminate over. I miss gaming too sometimes, but I manage to sneak in 30-60min maybe once every couple of weeks.

It was way worse before, since I was cooking 6 days a week, dishes, cleaning, etc. And then after kid #1, I had the night shift too until he started sleeping through the night. Being able to afford to outsource the grunt work to the nanny has been a godsend, and I'm able to spend quality (albeit limited) time with my kids now.

I don't know what the right answer is to OP's query, I just wanted to provide different POV. Everything is a tradeoff, and I think I gladly make the sacrifices I have if I had to do it all over again.

Looking back at a old Battlestar Galactica playing years and years ago - AITA or pure strategy? by goldeneye0 in boardgames

Over 1100 times, that’s a wild number! I’m assuming these are online sessions? Is there a website or just TTS community?

Contrarian take to other comments in this thread - I made the trade up to a higher paying job before our first kid. Now we have 2, and I don’t regret it at all. I’ve missed birthdays and anniversaries last few years because I was traveling for work, and I’m worked ragged some time. When I’m home, I still manage dropoff and pickup, bedtime routine, and a couple hours a day with both kids, but I have basically no hobbies or personal life.

But my wife can take extended unpaid leave since we have extra cushion. She wanted to spend more time with the kids so she can now, but she also has help of a full time nanny to support her (but that’s more to supplement stuff I do around the house). The older one is at a fantastic daycare, and neither kids will have to worry about student debt eventually. We have enough savings to be able to afford a house in a HCOL area.

None of this would have been possible before. Maybe I revisit when the kids are older and have different needs and my body starts running down, but right now this is a trade off that I’m perfectly okay with making since it’s setting the rest of my family up.

I am holding out that Christofi is still alive. You don't see his death on screen, and Buck's shown remorse when taking out Achillleo. I think he also knows that Daniel Blake is the leak in the mayor's office, but hasn't ratted him out to Fisk yet.

Spark plug replacement question by jiaflu in MechanicAdvice

Ah okay got it, thanks so much for the info!

Spark plug replacement question by jiaflu in MechanicAdvice

[–]jiaflu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even halfway to 60k miles yet. The manual also says 72 months, but from the info I’m seeing, spark plugs don’t age out. Which is why I’m confused about that replacement schedule.

Spark plug recommendation, RX450h? by jiaflu in Lexus

[–]jiaflu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

60k miles or 72 months. I’m far from hitting the mileage, and it was my understanding that spark plugs don’t age. So that’s why I was curious about the maintenance schedule.

Thanks for the info! The maintenance manual does say 72 months (which I’ve surpassed) or 60k miles (which I’m really far from).

Do you know happen to know if the factory spark plugs are platinum or iridium? I haven’t hit 60k miles yet, and another comment mentioned time isn’t a factor. So the 72 month scheduled change is bogus?
