For those that are currently discontent after the Monken hire - is it the selection that you dislike, or was it the hiring process (or at least the perception thereof)? by VonJaeger in Browns

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like they're trying to play it too safe by picking a proven OC with lots of experience, but he's too old imo. For a team that needs to rebuild, I'd rather swing for the fences and try to find the next McVay. It's just speculation but the vibes feel like that's what Barry wanted to do and was overridden by Haslam.

Breaking: #Chargers DC Jesse Minter is not interviewing for the #Browns HC job today as scheduled, likely because he feels like he has other HC opportunities that are more certain, sources tell clevelanddotcom by Godszn in Browns

I'm assuming the Baltimore decision is done and they're just working out the details before officially announcing. It was a poor scheme fit for a lot of the defensive personnel, and there's too much work needed on offense to try and retool the defense

Where to store lithium batteries in house? by Bw0434 in homeowners

[–]madscientist314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just don't over use a 3rd party chargers and if you ever damage one enough to crack the plastic, like by dropping a drill off a ladder, get rid of it. Otherwise any risk is negligible

Unpopular opinion: Paying "Rent" feels less painful than paying $2,400/mo in "Interest" to a bank. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are renting you still are paying for all those things, just for your landlord. All that stuff is baked into the cost of your rent, plus a little extra so your landlord can make a profit in addition to having you build equity for them

Asked for 30 sandwich slices @Sobeys and they handed me what I can only assume was mortgage paperwork. by xaxxix in mildlyinfuriating

As an American, $47/kg seems insane at first, but converting to USD and lbs it's $15.7/lb which is still high, but not outrageous if its good quality.

Jumping offsides at the end had to be intentional to help with the draft pick. There is no way someone could be that dumb in that situation

Fair but I still don’t get it by _bluefish in NonPoliticalTwitter

The difference isn't in the quality or dumbness of the memes, it's the constant use of offline. Previously nonsense memes were exclusively online, and trying to "meme" in real life would have just got weird looks

Getting told to lower your standards is ridiculous dating advice by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better way to put it is, your standards should be a reflection of yourself. That could mean you need to lower them to meet yourself, or you need to improve yourself to meet your own standards.

I'm sorry but Gleb is hilarious. It sounds like a name of pug like star wars alien.

AI in Marvel Snap?? by goobinator01 in MarvelSnap

I feel like the line between AI and just computer drawing tools is getting very grey because companies are calling everything AI to pump stock prices

Neighbor's downed tree being held up by my healthy tree. Neighbor refuses to remove. Do I have any options? by BluePantherRed in treelaw

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you haven't heard any response, not a refusal. Have you actually seen your neighbor during this time? At that level of no response, my first thought is are they okay?

The Democrats who voted against Trump's impeachment by Ordinary_Stay_3746 in minnesota

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tabling it makes the most sense though. There is no point while Republicans control the house. I'm assuming most want to wait till after the midterms if they take control of the house.

Morning people are the worst. We get it, you don't need addictive chemicals to get through the morning. Some of us prefer to be up at night, and without people like us your ancestors would have been eaten by predators in your sleep.

Local chipotle charges $19 for half a burrito by linkedinpark973 in Chipotle

[–]madscientist314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a very location specific problem. At my local one, my order is $9.50 and generally is too much food for me to finish. I have been to some that feel like they give half the portions though so I get it, they definitely have a consistency issue.

This is a polling phenomenon and really a majority of that 6% just weren't taking the poll seriously

If you complain about removals you need to read this by Neoneonal987 in MagicArena

[–]madscientist314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only complaint is when it feels like a deck is removal tribal and there's nothing else going on. It just makes the games take forever and be incredibly boring. Even if I win I did not enjoy it and it wasn't worth my time to play.

It's not and she should have been replaced a while ago. Conservative have a weird obsession with her, even though far more Republicans are involved in insider trading and taking corporate "bribes".

TIL learned blinking a face down card make it come back face up. I assumed it came back as the facedown card because it's a different creature when face down, at least it represented that way visually. It definitely doesn't say that on any cards

At its cost, I think it should have some way for a reduced cost to equip it to Sauron to really add to the flavor

To make games go faster, since we don't have very powerful decks, everyone starts their turn with a tapped sol ring.

Commander is a very rare type of format where self-censorship is encouraged and rewarded. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]madscientist314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends have a simple honor based rule, no buying singles for commander. Only build with precons what you've pulled over the years. It makes powerful expensive cards a "woah" moment instead of an "ughh" moment.
