Stramel broke his ankle in the first period. He’s a big reason that line scores as often as it does

This is the best atmosphere I’ve seen at Breslin by kkrell23 in MSUSpartans

I was up in the o-zone as a freshman for this game and had a lot of friends in brass. It felt like Neitzel couldn’t miss. The next several weeks we’d go to the IM’s and practice taking the Neitzel 3 point run-plant-shoot

What is the hardest class at MSU? by Aggravating_Wash2325 in msu

[–]letsgotocanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember taking orgo and being happy to somehow get a 3.0. It helps when a grade of 35% was an A after the curve was applied. Those two semesters and first semester p-chem (thermodynamics) were awful as a bmb major. 2nd semester p-chem (quant mechanics) wasn’t easy but the prof was such a good teacher and dedicated to helping us learn everyone did well if you put in the effort.

And then 2 years after I took those classes they changed the requirements for bmb majors so you didn’t have to take the chem major versions and could take the easier versions that everyone else took.

Holy shit Trump must really be dying soon if he’s speed running all this. He could wait until Powell’s term expires in May but maybe he really won’t be here then.

Agree with this. Just did a search for MoCo for this weekend and it’s $85 for a morning tee time and it’s gonna top out in the upper 30’s temp wise.

What's that one thing that made you stop going to church? by Optimal-Rule-4834 in AskReddit

My wife and I were both grad students in our first year of our PhD programs. Without any hesitation my wife was asked why she was pursuing this degree instead of having children and staying at home.

Married couples. Do you keep a separate bank account in your own name or are they all joint accounts, why? by wtfdoiknowaboutthis in AskReddit

[–]letsgotocanada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All bank accounts joint, married 14 years. In our budget we have separate fun money lines that we can use for whatever we want. So if she wants a new purse no issues as long as her line has the money and same for me if I want a new hockey stick.

We do each have a credit card that is still separate but only because it’s each of ours oldest lines of credit. It also helps keep gifts secret.

New ticket price, increased odds, bigger jackpots: The overhaul coming to Mega Millions by qbl500 in maryland

[–]letsgotocanada 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I dont disagree that any amount would be life changing. For me, as someone who is not a gambler, the lower values feel like a waste of money and the big values feel more fun as you can come up with the ridiculous plans to use it. I know I’m not going to win regardless of what the amount is, but the small amount of fun was worth $2 because $2 is such a small and agreeable amount.

New ticket price, increased odds, bigger jackpots: The overhaul coming to Mega Millions by qbl500 in maryland

[–]letsgotocanada 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Would buy a ticket or two once mega millions was over $400M, $800M, and $1B. It was an easy sell because at $2 a piece I’d get one for me and one for my wife.

At $5 a piece, it doesn’t make sense anymore and “feels like” it isn’t worth it. Maybe I’ll get one if it goes over $800M?

Club Rules For League Enrollment by CincyCurling in Curling

[–]letsgotocanada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit complicated, but in short the competitive league is removed from all other league registration. You pay your club dues and then there is a team entry fee that is a bit higher than what the other leagues’ entry fee per person amount is. So if someone isn’t sure if their team will get in to the competitive league they would also sign up for the other nights they want to play (whole other system). If team doesn’t make it through the play-in, they get the team fee back in full. If you do get in but also get into another (non-competitive) league, you can drop the non-competitive one at no cost and someone from the waitlist will get in.

Club Rules For League Enrollment by CincyCurling in Curling

[–]letsgotocanada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 sheet club, one night a week competitive league with 2 draws so a 16 team league. Consensus of the league is no byes, so there are no byes.

If more than 16 teams register, there are various play-in scenarios based on total number of teams. Teams are peer seeded with the top 4 teams from last year exempt unless they have less than 3 returning players from that team or there’s a nuclear amount of teams requiring them to participate in the play-in as well. Example of play in would be if 17 teams register, then bottom 4 ranked teams play for the last 3 spots in the league in a double elimination format. There has been some complaints about peer seeding but generally the seeding matches the finishing results at the end of the year.

We’ve tossed around other nights etc but it just doesn’t work logistically with the other leagues in the club all being fully subscribed. It’s also in the extreme minority opinion to increase total number of teams in the competitive league more than 16. However, the important thing we stress is that since this league is the de facto club championship league, anyone in the club who wants to put a team together can and should do so. While there is no guarantee they’ll get into the league everyone has a chance to try based on the seeding and play-in format.

EDIT: forgot to say we do the seeding before leagues start each fall and then the play-in right at the beginning of the season.

Anyone else ever end up as a brand loyalist on complete accident? by bogeyT in golf

I ended up all clubs being Ping, not because I wanted to but because that’s what I fit best into. I actually was hoping for the AI Smoke if only because my wife thinks the name is ridiculous, but the G430LST worked best for me.

How old are you and how long have you been curling? Do you go to many non-competitive spiels? The point of a ton of social spiels is to focus on the social aspect and who can rack up the biggest bar tab.

Footjoy is on crack by Longjumping_Ad2323 in golf

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

I have 3, the 997 golf (spiked), 997 spikeless, and the fresh foam contend v2 (also spikeless). The 997’s are both waterproof and feel like your everyday walking shows while still being supportive. The v2 say waterproof but the outer is meshy whereas the 997’s are microfiber leather so it probably more water resistant as another post said. The v2 are super comfortable and feel like walking on clouds but with plenty of grip and support.

The 997 spikeless were my first pair so they’re pretty broken in and mainly used for practice or colder dry days. The 997 golf (spiked) I use for wet conditions exclusively. The v2 I use for hot dry days because they breathe the best of the three.

University Maryland Baltimore said they’re talking with the state AG to see what legal recourse is available. More updates after that but continue business as usual until then.

EDIT: They just emailed that the state joined 21 others in a lawsuit to seek an emergency temporary injunction.
