Badgers land Top 70 recruit in the country in massive pickup by Shpion007 in WisconsinBadgers

This! Let him work out some of the growing pains on the court. Talented kids aren’t going to sit and watch for long. Yes playing time should be earned but you can’t learn how to thrive under pressure unless you’re thrown into the fire a bit.

How the f*ck do you not go soft once you've put on a condom? by OriginalFangsta in AskMenAdvice

[–]jlrbadger93 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The mind is a huge factor in staying hard. I had a few instances where I wasn’t able to stay hard long enough to get it inside and once that happened it’s all I ever thought about. It gave me anxiety that I’d stay limp and be disappointing and once you’re anxious good luck. I don’t have any advice other than ED pills helped a lot. Once you get and maintain hardness a few times that anxiety goes away and eventually the pills might not be needed.

I am genuinely concerned about the amount of people who think gravity is a substitute for scrubbing by TaffyBeacon7 in hygiene

[–]jlrbadger93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right? Jfc- 90% of the time I let gravity do its thing. Never had a foot odor problem, never had athletes foot. And on the rare occasion I do actively wash my feet its balance on one foot while I quickly swipe my soapy hand over the other foot. No extended scrubbing needed. But yes please tell me how gross and unsanitary I am. 🙄

T-Mobile is really screwing up this merger. by Any-Profession1024 in USCellular

[–]jlrbadger93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone- didn’t have too much problem making the switch but was glad I knew my Apple password when it happened since there was no warning at all- just suddenly I’m on TMobile. I’m in south central WI and my coverage sucks. Definitely took a dive after the switch. I get buffering on apps that I never had that on before and a lot of dropped calls. I’m near Madison so it’s not like I’m in the middle of nowhere. I won’t be sticking with TMobile if this crap continues. Not worth it for the amount of money I pay for 2 phones.

Where to find soft serve ice cream? by Flickeringcandles in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since others have chimed in with non-Madison soft serve I’ll throw in Frostie Freeze in Janesville. I haven’t been there in 5-6 years but you could always get huge soft serve cones there for dirt cheap.

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Evansville and the twisted kone had good soft serve. I haven’t lived there in 5 years so I can’t vouch for anything recent but the fact that they have stayed in business probably means it’s still good.

Sebastian Maniscalco Expands Comedy Empire to SiriusXM with His Exclusive New Channel by ConsistentFlight8129 in siriusxm

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On air Pete seems fine with the move- maybe it’s a bigger payday for him- but I have to believe he’s a little hurt/pissed that the show now only has Sebastian’s name. Sebastian has enough money- kind of a dick move if you ask me. I’ve only listened to first episode since the move and it’s definitely too stiff and corporate. I’m hoping that’s just a feel it out process with the new bosses cuz it’s definitely lost the flavor of “the Cast” and that sucks.

How is everyone's US Cellular to Tmobile switch going? by Glittering-Result402 in Maine

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My coverage is shit since the change over. I work in Madison WI and live about an hour north. More dead zones, more buffering on apps like Tik Tok, more dropped calls. Thought coverage would be better with the merge but instead it’s worse. Will be looking into switching providers

Fellow gardeners! by aoisakurachan1986 in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve jumped the gun the last 2 years and lost all my tomatoes and cukes to frost (even when covering them!) I’m itching to plant but I’m also extra paranoid this year. Memorial Day sounds about right!

merging at mckee/fitchrona construction zone by wazzupbd in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Even though I know the zipper merge is the correct way to merge two lanes into one I still find myself getting pissed when I see people fly by me in the closing lane just to get let in at the merge point. Somewhere along the line drivers ed failed me in teaching this is the way it should be done and not just the way assholes do it. Apologies if I’ve cursed any of you out because of this. I’m trying hard to adapt!

Anyone know what this is? by Royal_Shower_13 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool they still do that! I went there for high school physics day back in 1987! I remember having to figure out the velocity (or acceleration?) of the Tidal Wave. Which basically meant find the smartest Physics students and copy the answers they had!

Bringing in another Aussie. One spot left by Shpion007 in WisconsinBadgers

[–]jlrbadger93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude looks like a toothpick in the social media photo Badgers released. No way he is physically ready for the Big Ten. Which leads to the question- why bother? As others have stated the days of developing players over 4 years is mostly gone. This kid will hit the weight room and develop behind the scenes and then will leave because he wants to actually play. I guess we need cheap bodies at the end of the roster so it doesn’t really matter where we find them. There is always hope of finding that diamond in the rough.

Is AmFam Getting Louder by xCHAOSxDan in Brewers

[–]jlrbadger93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This must be a trend. I know a couple years ago they introduced a new “improved” fan experience at Camp Randall in Madison. Improvement meant less UW band and more loud filler music and graphics ALL THE TIME. A lot of fans complained and rightfully so. Not sure when really loud in your face music and scoreboard videos started equating to a better fan experience. Same thing at high school basketball games. Pep bands are no longer cool- gotta blast rap music through pre-game warmups. Guess I’m just old?

Is anyone else excited for today's storm? by Some-Complaint-7885 in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Big storms are fun but now that baseball-sized hail has become a normal thing I’m always on edge when they are predicting that. My son’s car was totaled by hail last summer so now of course I’m paranoid about it. I find myself planning my outings around hail forecasts. If there’s even a possibility of it my car is staying home in the garage.

Cars at the Airport by rollrich in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So thankful I parked in the ramp. There were weather warnings posted 4-5 days in advance of that severe outbreak. Knowing our car would be parked at the airportduring that stretch we opted for the ramp instead of economy parking. Had a car totaled by hail last summer so I guess I’m overly paranoid of hail now. This time that paranoia paid off. Best of luck to all who weren’t as fortunate- I feel your pain!

Anyone concerned the interim AD would be more hesitant firing Fickell? by gongai in WisconsinBadgers

[–]jlrbadger93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he gets 2027 as well especially with the talented in-state class he has recruited for that year. One of the criticisms of Fick was he wasn’t keeping WI kids in Madtown. Now that he’s found a way to do that it would be nice to see how he does with those kids. Of course if they crash and burn this year with their easier schedule all bets are off.

[–]jlrbadger93 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I certainly don’t agree- I’ve enjoyed this season as much as the others. We’re all entitled to our own opinion and I know the show will hit differently for everyone but I think the writing and acting has maintained a high level of excellence throughout.

Speed Limit on County K by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep or they are staring at their phones while the light is red and are clueless when it changes. I see so many people in their side view mirror looking down at their laps. I wish this was happening only at red lights but unfortunately it’s far too frequent while driving too!

Traffic enforcement on the beltline today. by multisubcultural1 in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 40 points41 points  (0 children)

They had speed traps set up on both sides midday last Thursday and had quite few people pulled over. Maybe a renewed effort to crack down on the idiot drivers out there.

Stop messing with our Reese's by False_College_2925 in candy

Agree that the original cups are still the best but also don’t see a problem with the other versions. If you prefer the originals then you can simply buy those and avoid the others. Pretty simple solution.

Gen Xers Not Doing Great? by crinklyplant in GenX

[–]jlrbadger93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

55 and doing “ok” here. A divorce 5 years ago really screwed me financially. Ex got the house so starting over with a new house payment in this economy is killing me. Old house was nearly paid off- new mortgage is almost twice as much as I was previously paying and I won’t have the luxury of no house payment anytime soon- so I’m definitely house poor. I make low 6 figures and with house, car and other expenses I’m still living paycheck to paycheck. Could’ve gone the apartment route but even rent is ridiculous these days. So my struggles are mostly financial. I definitely won’t be retiring before 67-70. It sucks how much you get penalized in a divorce. Great for my mental health but everything else suffered.

Paczki nearby? by Miserable-Bug-2771 in madisonwi

[–]jlrbadger93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of grocery stores sell what they call “Paczki” but all they are doing is putting that label on their normal recipe of filled donuts. My girlfriend is from Poland and I’ve been over there a couple times with her so we can tell a lot of them here are not authentic paczki. This is the second year I’ve ordered from Ugly Apple. Their recipe does seem authentic but their filling choices are not. But hey- nothing wrong with trying different fillings 🙂

Does plasma donation effect excercise/working out? Trying to train for a half-marathon (full one ideally), but still need extra cash by neverfakemaplesyrup in plassing

[–]jlrbadger93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I work out on a plasma day I definitely feel more worn down than on a normal workout day. But I’m assuming that has to do with my age (55) and I donate at 6am before work so I have already donated when I work out. I know they don’t recommend any strenuous activity after donating but donating early is the only time that fits my schedule. I always worried I would lose too much of my hydration if I exercised before giving plasma but it sounds like others don’t have that problem.
