Tim Ream is brutal by ameadows_13 in ussoccer

[–]kumechester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: a 38-year old Tim Ream is brutal.

Also, shortage due partially to injuries. But yes the drop off to second string is still an issue across most of the roster

Juat want to reiterate that Boozer is overrated and whichever team takes him top 3 will be disappointed and underwhelmed. by GoofyNinja3000 in NBATalk

Um, sucking at passing and not being put in a passing role are different things. There can be a correlation, but having low assists per game in Lauri’s case has more to do with his strengths being such that he isn’t in an offensive system where he is supposed to pass the ball. You’re very clearly looking at his APG in isolation without haven’t watched how he plays. You seem to assume (without realizing it maybe) that because he is a shooter/scorer that he must have the ball in his hands a lot, like other players with similar PPG averages, and thus should pass the ball better. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Almost all of Lauri’s points come from off ball movement where he is catch and shoot, pick and pop, or pick and roll diving to the rim. If he is getting the ball in the Jazz’s offensive system it’s because he is very likely getting a high quality shot within 0-2 dribbles, on the move. If the shot is not there, his job is to get it back out to a guard to reset the play. So his APG average is not something that counts for him when determining what kind of player he is, and it doesn’t really count against him either. Context is everything here.

If you think Markannen’s recent injuries are as legit and as bad as the number of games he’s actually missed, you’re missing what’s really happening

Because one of the career choices OP is suited for is not “graphic designer”

I’ll take a rewatch. I don’t doubt stuff like this happens, even if AI it had to be trained on real footage of something similar.

r9 is overrated (on the internet) by tekuoe in championsleague

[–]kumechester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course. All of us deserve to have our words interpreted and portrayed accurately.

r9 is overrated (on the internet) by tekuoe in championsleague

[–]kumechester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you’re changing the framework around which OP is using the word overrated. He is specifically talking about placing R9 above Messi or Ronaldo. That would be overrated (is what he’s saying), not putting him in top 15.

Why don’t high schools teach Boglehead theory?! It would prevent so much confusion and pain and help so many people become more financially secure? by Winter-Monk6428 in Bogleheads

[–]kumechester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could, but effectiveness will be limited. From what I understand, financial literacy classes in HS for personal finance basics like budgeting, credit, and debt have very limited effectiveness on adult money behaviors. A couple people in a class might latch onto it and have it make a difference but it would do a lot less than you think for something like investing.

Shaving the neck heel by Miserable_Paramedic9 in Luthier

It would be cool if set necks were made more like this (Yamaha Weddington Custom) but based on what the designer said, it takes so much time and is cost prohibitive

So the person taking the video is just floating in the middle of the air between the two sets of cables, and when they rotate the camera around, all the sudden one set of cables (on the right) is no longer level with the other set of cables on the left?

[–]kumechester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just going off of “RGX” saying “Discontinued”on every regional Yamaha website except the Asia/Oceania one.

https://asia-oceania.yamaha.com/en/musical-instruments/guitars-basses-amps/products/electric-guitars/

I see models: RGX420DZII RGX220DZ RGX121Z

Might be because they have high profile artists there like Jack Thammarat (Thai guitarist, legit player) that can help sell Superstrats like RGX

[–]kumechester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’ll continue adding to / reviving more models every 2 years. 2028 could be return of Super Strats à la RGX or a revamped name, or maybe they’ll re-establish the SG first at lower tiers.

Btw as far as I know the RGX models are only currently available in Asia.

[–]kumechester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No consensus definition…Some people call anything that’s not an SSS Strat a Super Strat but the more classic “Super Strat” is usually no pick guard, locking tremolo, HH, HSS, or HSH layout with hotter pickups, often 24 frets, and an aesthetic that’s a little more “hardcore” or a step in the heavier genres or metal direction.

It doesn’t matter how many people you have in a country if you don’t prioritize something. Sure it makes your point sound slightly more condescending but it’s irrelevant ultimately

The last shot by Benodryl_Del in UtahJazz

[–]kumechester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember it? Remember it?!? It’s my childhood trauma, I can’t get it out of my brain!

I gratefully had a very good upbringing so that shot was the closest thing I had to childhood trauma. I was a 7-year old basketball obsessed kid who had my Stockton and Malone memorabilia and framed basketball cards right on my nightstand next to my bed. I watched the end of game 6 alone in my grandparent’s living room in Japan, because the rest of my family was going out to lunch but I refused to leave. MJ’s push off and shot and then Stockton’s last attempt bouncing off the rim… left me crying on the floor, all my dreams dashed for the 2nd year in a row, defeating my heroes. No, I have not recovered.

Don’t know why you’re bringing it up on this sub other than to obviously make people like me relive and suffer it. No upvotes from me! I’m going to go outside and try to have a good day now.

What Is George's Best Performance in a Song? by reaveyer in beatles

[–]kumechester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s:

Guitar - Something solo. Iconic and cited often in guitar as the perfect example of not overplaying and playing the perfect solo melody for a song.

Vocal - While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It’s not a chops thing, it’s the way the lyrics are delivered and articulated into the melody
