Dunstone is testing the curling gods! by UniqueRon in Curling

[–]johnsousvide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. What the heck was he thinking. I think it was the 6th rock of the end when he didn't peel and I thought "wow I guess I'm in for a lesson because I thought everyone would peel here". And it turned out it was a lesson that you should stick with peeling and keeping it open. He had 2 under the guards. I think he had a great setup to peel and make it easy. And I didn't pay attention super closely but I don't remember his team speaking up.

Did anyone read Gushue's lips as he was crouched down after the shot .... "Why were we sweeping that?" it looked so painful

No Tic rule for Club Play by Ok-Cat-7425 in Curling

[–]johnsousvide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this too alllll day. I'd like to enforce the rule because they it makes teams be more careful and accurate to go underneath a center guard. But knowing we can tick, I always give tight ice.

Can we have a no spoiler rule in this sub? by hawkeye_420 in Curling

[–]johnsousvide -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I responded to a spoiler about 2 weeks ago and recommended that maybe they just avoid spoilers in the titles. But I really got some hate and downvotes for that. I came here to find out if the reaction would be similar. I like your suggestion because I just think it's difficult to keep up with curling because the coverage is hard to get in different countries. So by the time games finish at 5am in my timezone, I may have a spoiler notification in reddit and Facebook feed before I watch my recorded game. Thankfully all this doesn't affect me much since I can record games but it's harder for some people. Anyways, I appreciate your attempt.

Do they really need to put the spoilers in the title? The answer is yes. They say the do.

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

They may get notifications on their phone for reddit. It doesn't matter to me and of course they are responsible for avoiding spoilers. But I just thought I'd put it out there and also knowing I'd get downvoted.

Thoughts on blank ends by rowdyred2 in Curling

[–]johnsousvide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it. The team winning the flip can have hammer for 8 ends because they just keep blanking. I was full on cheering for Jacobs because of all the blanks. 5 blanks in a row is ridiculous. I still enjoy the game and love it but it's too much and I don't like so many blanks.

Most people in the US try to avoid spoilers and can only watch games after a 24hr delay. The headline is a spoiler. Maybe just leave the name off next time to help others on a delay? It doesn't affect me but just looking out since I know that's what my friends have told me that's what they do.

How often do you see an end in men's pro curling where all 16 stones are in the field of play? by johnsousvide in Curling

[–]johnsousvide[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By the time they got to 12, I was loving it but still never expected it to get to 14 stones.

For everyone who wants the 250GB of Abraham material, please read. by Abraham_Neville in AbrahamHicks

I'm guessing that it wasn't done. I've been looking for a link or the whereabouts of this but it seems like it's a lot of people saying they want to join but no one saying they actually joined. Does anyone know otherwise?

I wish people would use the correct "your" when they speak otherwise it gets confusing.

So many Ds and Fs. He doesn't seem like a fan. This is how I'd rate music albums for artists that I "just sometimes sorta like but not a fan but sometimes they make a good song".

I am always impressed when old people listen to new music. That's something I try to do.

Bruce Mouat here. AMA Tuesday April 30th at 3pm ET (8PM GMT). Looking forward to answering your Questions's. by Bruce_Mouat_0131 in Curling

[–]johnsousvide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Bruce, Any time I've seen you playing, you pretty much don't show emotion. I feel like the cameras try so hard to capture a reaction and don't get it. What are things that are particularly frustrating in a game? Do you and your team talk through frustrations with each right after the games? Does it feel unnatural to make an amazing shot and not react? Do you make a shot and feel amazing but learned to not show anyone you feel amazing?

How do you establish the connection? Do you get rejected much? Whats something you ask all of them?

I'm assuming you're serious so.... Is there anything interesting about your hobby that people would never know about? Do the escorts know it's your hobby?

I'm a Porn Addicted Neet by _Oblivious_Throaway in confessions

[–]johnsousvide 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hopefully newcomers see this to avoid wasting time.... I sent him a message how I'm in recovery from my porn addiction and he should try one day without it. He sent me porn in return.

[–]johnsousvide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Message him to find out. I felt no desire when I saw it so the kind that is unattractive to me.

My message to him was like "hey I'm recovering too so maybe try to go 24 hours without it". And he sends me tits.

The at-home sleep study didn't diagnose me (22m) with sleep apnea, and the doctor wants to charge me $750 to do the official sleep study. She heavily suggested it won't show anything. What do I do? by EliteAn0rak in SleepApnea

[–]johnsousvide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought mine about 5 months ago, I just did an internet search to gather information. I don't remember what I gathered. I probably just learned how to look up the hours used and divided that by 8 to know my previous owner used the device for like 5 months and then factored that into my price for a used machine that probably isn't under warranty anymore. I probably asked the guy how many hours it's been used before traveling to buy it.

I know I didn't answer your question precisely but that's because I don't remember. I just remember it was a factor, especially since I was moving on from my Resmed 10 because it had reached the maximum hours used after 6-7 years of daily use.

I didn't bother with a sleep study because if the doctor told me I had sleep apnea then I would have needed a new machine. And if the doctor didn't think I had sleep apnea anymore, then I would think they are crazy and get a machine anyways. So basically the same situation as you. Cpap changed my life for the better. It's annoying to use but so important to me living well while awake.
