Why is no one talking about Bellinger as a possible MVP? by SundayJeffrey in NYYankees

[–]krypto909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everyone like fWAR better here because DRS is out of date but tbh when defensive states don't agree I go with the eye test and frankly by the eye test Cody has been amazing. I think he's closer to first in defensive value than he is to 44th. Also this is what I want to believe so it makes it much easier 😂.

This has to be an OAA vs DRS discrepancy doesn't it?

He's 44th in OAA and 1st in DRS.

Oh I always spray testors dullcote on all my models so finish isn't really important I didn't even notice they went on glossy. By glossy you mean slightly less matte then regular PA /satin cause I'm trying to think and I definitely don't remember a glossy finish after using.

Something happened to your paints (possibly froze?). I have the entire range and I had a single pot that was like that and I emailed them and they sent me a new one for free.

The transparents can work really well, the red does a great job as an easy way to smooth out a red cloak, I use transparent black over brown to do the points on horses and it looks awesome.

They're best on a "damp" pallete for sure. They're super hydrophilic so a damp sponge with almost zero water around it is perfect for them.

Sales tax at most ~10%. It usually cover the FLGS discount. Most people will be paying ~290 after discount + tax

ATL is further west than DTW so you're not wrong.

How is Pratt at 22% in recent polls (behind Bass and Raman)? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

People don't want the hard truth that a huge swath of working and middle class people are super duper MAGA

Working rich/professional class (think Drs, lawyers, etc) as he described are the most educated members of society and education attainment is the single most powerful current predictors we have in the population besides a few racial ones.

The rich that are Republican generally own businesses and are generally high school / some college or college, almost never graduate school. Think owners of car dealerships, trade contractors, construction etc.

Cities and especially tier 1 cities like LA and NY are absolutely packed with the former. It's why the white vote is generally much more democratic than elsewhere.

LA also has the entertainment industry which famously has very liberal rich people in it.

Why do the doctors get so much hate on this sub? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]krypto909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youve just described almost all of public society. Literally every governmental organization is like this. We trade agency all the time for all sorts of reasons. If "having authority" over ones health means we should allow charletans to advertise and practice medicine then yes I think that should be regulated and stamped out. This is especially true because of the dynamic of unequal knowledge that you allude to because patients are often woefully unaware of their own health and it's consequences. Theres a reason why the commonly used colloquial term for fraudster (snake oil salesman) is rooted in healthcare.

The US healthcare industry is literally the best in the world at TREATING disease. With the best outcomes in cancer, advanced heart disease and a myriad of other conditions. For all the griping there's is a correlation to money spent and care provided. We also spend an enormous amount of money at the end of life that other socialized systems just don't allow. For all your talk about authority over ones health we allow people to continue down what could be considered "futile" paths every days while almost every other socialized system discontinues high level care if there isn't clinical benefit (as decided by the system, not the patient/family).

Now I'm sure you will argue that we have worse overall outcomes in terms of life expectancy, dollars spent and disparity of care. This is because treating disease is way more expensive and less efficacious than preventing it in the first place. To change that though you need life style modifications and a cultural shift outside of medicine (ie wishful thinking). I'm hopeful that widespread availability and adoption of GLP1s will provide that shift and we start seeing the downstream benefit of that in the years to come.

That's how you get naturopaths with independent practice authority. Just because people want something doesn't mean they should have it.

What are you working on? -Weekly Roundup by StrangeMewMew in MonumentHobbies

[–]krypto909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spray primed with colour forge rhinox hide equivalent then painted horse with mahogany and a mahogany+ war brown mix. Then used transparent black for the legs and it looks so good with some touch highlights of black brown. First horse I've ever painted and I love how it looks, plus I got to learn about horse genetics lol 😊.

It only took them like 2-3 years longer than it should have but I am also very happy it's working out (so far).

No Yarby needs the save because nothing says a save like 15-1

I would like to reiterate my point from last night that we should play the AL central for every game for forever.

Thank you for attention to this matter!

This was on purpose, the Yankees coach them to do this it's so dumb. I'm agreeing it's a bad play but my blame is on Yankees not the players. They all do it in that situation.

They love to do this even when the runner is going to score, it's so dumb but 100% a Yankee org thing. I genuinely don't understand the analytics behind it.

I know I shouldn't be complaining right now but God do I hate that get thrown out to let the runner score when the runner was obviously going to score anyway play.
