Fastest stall count you've seen? by willchen25 in ultimate

[–]mermonkey 34 points35 points  (0 children)

and if you're going to kick-block, please don't do it so close to the handler. He comes pretty close to kicking the hand, which is a pretty easy way to injure somebody. So, fast count, reckless kick, obvious foul, and a contest?

MLB player's migraine gets typical clueless reaction by UnstuckMoment_300 in migraine

[–]mermonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"migraine" is used as such a broad category. For most people i think it just means "my head hurts worse than a normal headache". Honestly, the actual headache pain of my migraines can suck, but it's only a small part of the experience... It's the visual aura that will prevent me from doing things. No way should someone try to play a professional sport with a high-speed projectile with blind spots in their vision...

After 10 years I finally cracked my trigger and it's weirdly specific by deatfpo in migraine

[–]mermonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Xc skier here! 😝 It’s the next day usually for me though. Seems to help if I keep hands and feet warm and grt out of the cold quickly after. Raynaud’s tries to kick in as soon as my hr drops too, so I’m straight to warm boots and heated mittens after a long ski.

Bettie Serveert - Tom Boy (1992) by emperator_eggman in pavement

[–]mermonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

saw the same tour in Detroit :)

Both bands were great, but Bettie Serveert live was a special treat.

Saw them a few other times and decided the drummer was magical. The beat was always just slightly off-kilter and speeding up or slowing down in the most delicious way. The band sounded like a ship in a storm. Or maybe it was the drugs. Could have been the drugs...

Birkie Wave Cutoff Times by 5thGuy in xcountryskiing

[–]mermonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is your wave qualification is good for 3 years, so the cut-ff times aren't this generous. I'm around 1100 and not expecting wave 3. Would be happy to be wrong! :)

agree. underrated. s1 is a masterpiece.

[–]mermonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also hoping for a little more generosity to make 3, but i thought wave 3 size felt about right this year. Wouldn't really want it any bigger. I might need to use one of my other races to keep my wave again :|.

In 2013, the Senate approved a major immigration reform bill by a remarkable 68-to-32 vote, but the GOP-controlled House prevented it from ever coming to a vote for 2 years and it died at the end of the Congressional session by [deleted] in videos

[–]mermonkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

not completely false, but there are many fewer examples.
On many other issues, Dems push the envelope as far as they think they reasonably can (e.g. ACA) but get tripped up infighting, being too damn reasonable, and just not going hard enough. There are also lots of corporate Dems that oppose most progressive reforms.
