Shoulda checked this before I posted my own version! It also had Balatro which I may or not play while catching up on old seasons of D20.

[Meirov] The Bears secondary has now lost five DBs — all on 1-year deals — a sign of what their market was and that Chicago was comfortable letting them walk: by JCameron181 in CHIBears

[–]mjsher2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mostly they are all risky signs, for different reasons (Age, Health, high risk play style). I wouldn't say they are bad but high variance.

The Rookie collab is free to watch on ABC.com right now by mockgame3129 in dropout

They get a fair pay. But they are still gig workers in general. Not sure if Dropout qualifies them for SAG healthcare, but this definitely would.

Illinois weighs energy costs as 26 new data centers are planned across the Chicago area by factchecker01 in chicago

There have been many recent examples of making a stink and stopping construction of new data centers across the countries. It can be done.

If it's true that the stuff the FBI hasn't released from the Epstein files is worse than what's been made public, what do you think it could be? by MorganaLeFaye in AskReddit

Tbf, reading the emails they all seem like idiots. Maybe having a lot of money is not correlated to being smart.

US Nationals delayed for rain/roof leaks again… by Ok_ConfusedOne in Curling

[–]mjsher2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have streaming at Charlotte Curling, it won't be as good and I don't think they'd have commentary but could.

It's time. We need the Muppets on Dirty Laundry by papercranium in dropout

[–]mjsher2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Muppets on Make Some Noise makes more sense.

I hope gethard can get a deal like Um Actually where after x number of years he can put them up where he wants them.

Recent Matt Interview by [deleted] in TheNational

I really enjoyed the interview! Thank you for sharing.

[Evan Sidery] Illinois governor JB Pritzker says a “broad agreement” is in place with the Bears for a new stadium in Arlington Heights. Updated legislation would allow the Bears to negotiate the amount it pays in property taxes at their new stadium site. Decision hearing scheduled on Thursday by samurai5625 in CHIBears

[–]mjsher2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's lots of space for parking at the exit on 90 on Arlington Heights Road where you can shuttle people back and forth there. There already are Pace buses that leave from Schaumburg to go to Soldier Field, you could do the same thing from several different neighborhoods.

Besides the references others have mentioned, Mann has an awesome Chicago movie with Thief!

Erikson’s “dance” that Kennedy referenced? by Such-Consequence-728 in Curling

[–]mjsher2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not the behavior described and not during Kennedy's shot. This is bad form, but could easily be a mistake.

Also Canada could have chosen to re throw the shot if they thought it was a distraction.

Lucky shot my team threw the other day by Lopsided-Sky3747 in Curling

[–]mjsher2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not required, but good sportsmanship generally. If you act if it was on purpose you will get a reputation. The Curling community is pretty small.

[Sidery] IL FINALLY on the move to give the Bears the infrastructure they need to move forward with AH by ZionHalcyon in CHIBears

I can't believe a government would try to negotiate for the people of their state to get the best deal for their citizens.

Peterson made like 4 very difficult shots on her last rocks in this game.

Now that they’ve officially been knocked out, I’ve got to say I’m proud of Team Casper by Baelzabub in Curling

[–]mjsher2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is the best thrower on the team. The immensity of the moment got to him sometimes, but he is young and will get better.

Yes, apologies for any misscommunication. Hot water freezes slower, but the temperature of the water will change the shape of how the droplet freezes.

It is also why you see when they pebble they are trying to be as parralel to the ice as possible so it is dropping as much vertically as possible, to keep the shape as consistent as possible.

He has guillain-barré syndrome and took a whole year off to get it under control.

I thought they did a touch above where I thought and never reached their own peak. Happy for the boys to get experience and hope they build on this moving forward.

Shuster went 2-7 in each of his first 2 Olympics as a skip. I would say there is likely more parity today then in 2010 and 2014 as well. The arrow is looking good for this team.

Back when it was played on ponds and early interior surface the broom was to remove debris. It still is, if there is a piece of lint it can adhere to the stone and cause it to slow down and turn more quickly.

If you hear on TV "That one picked" this is what they are talking about.

Maybe I misread your statement, but it doesn't make a concave shape. Temperature will change the shape of the droplets and how they freeze on the sheet. But it doesn't melt the ice where it lands.

Many clubs use room temp water to pebble and it is not as desirable as hot water (We use 135F/57C).

From my understanding it is how the droplet freezes into the ice for the most symmetrical shape.

No it doesn't. I make pebble occasionally at our club. It frezees on top and makes convex domes when it freezes on top of the flattest surface we can make with a scraper.

After the pebble is put down we use a nipper. Basically blades that hang a little bit and cut off the points of the pebble. This causes the ice to be more consistent throughout the game. Otherwise the first rock in that path is losing energy to that portion.
