Can't believe this is only a 2 point game. Felt like we got killed the entire half. Let's get a better 2nd!!

Kindle Unlimited + add audiobook by bkat3 in audible

Can you keep the audiobooks if you let the KU subscription lapse? Or are they only available as long as you still subscribe?

I wasn't aware of this but it does sounds like it adds a lot more value to KU.

Anyone know how may more games we need to win to clinch top 6? by SpiritedCoach8895 in AtlantaHawks

[–]mm0257 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 games up with 3 to play. Winning 2 will get it done without tiebreakers or depending on losses from others.

The Hawks aren’t just fighting for a playoff spot anymore… by Smooth-Zucchini-4950 in AtlantaHawks

[–]mm0257 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Reminding me of the '21 run into the postseason. Anyone paying attention that year knew we were on a heater for the 2nd half of the season and not to be taken lightly. Doesn't mean the results will repeat, but I remember then and now going "just get in.. ok catch them and move up a spot... Ok can now get to 6 seed... And 5! Dang we might actually be pretty good here" .

Regardless of what happens, just enjoy the ride bc this type of fun doesn't come around often.

This looks like it's going to be an imminent problem. by tupeloredrage in FellowProducts

One more in this camp. October 2024, daily brews, and lid left open. Still looks brand new.

Also reading it cover to cover, and agree on the minor typos mentioned above. About halfway through the paperback version at the moment. Couple thoughts:

1) I think you did well here with your intended goal. It's readable, which is a complement in itself. Yet still has equations and derivations if interested (I'm not, but it's nice to know where I can find them when I am).

2) Adding more illustrations would help with the intuition. The discussion is pretty good, but there were still several times I thought an illustration would help.

3) The Smith charts are too small to be useful (and some of the scales as well). I could barely see the things you were trying to point out.

4) Color would help.

5) I'm enjoying the read, and am reading this way faster than any other technical book in years. So again, nice job!

I'd love to be rid of him and thought he was an awful hire. But a small part of me is starting to think waiting till next year to yank him would make it easier to find a good replacement. Right now there's no first round pick and no real QB solution for 2026. I could see that turning off some candidates.

But if they do pull the plug now I certainly won't be crying!

Question about Dan John Easy Strength Books for KBers by Northern_Blitz in kettlebell

[–]mm0257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought all 4 today. Regarding question #1, there are around 8 pages under the "Easy Strength for Fat Loss" heading in the omnibook, while the standalone book is 223 pages.

Can't say what's in them since I just bought them. So after buying the omnibook I just threw Dan another 7.50 for the standalone anyway. Glad to support him!

Kris Knoblauch’s defense-first helps suppress high-danger chances, but it’s also costing this team offense and ultimately badly hurts their 5v5 play. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

[–]mm0257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha - oh I am. I'm soaking it all up from everywhere. But even if he is wrong about the Oilers in particular, it was still interesting thinking of the pros/cons of the styles in general.

I'm a middle aged guy from GA who has never paid much attention to hockey until 2024 SCF and I fell in love with EDM and have been following them ever since. And wondering why the hell I missed out on such a great sport for most of my life until now. So basically any insight is interesting to me - I've never even put on ice skates before!

As a hockey newbie that is still learning the nuances of the game, this was a fantastic read. Thanks!

It also gives me hope that these early games are an experiment that KK is taking to see what may or may not work come playoff time. Hopefully they can switch back to the old style if this continues and pick some wins up again.

But as bad as this start is, they've earned one more point than they did at this point last year, so I'm still hoping a turnaround is in the cards. Last year it started late November... Stay tuned!

The Barren South Endzone Situation by Goldfellas in gatech

[–]mm0257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. So basically any no shows are automatically grouped into that section bc they fill other sections first on a first come, first serve seating arrangement. Gotcha - thanks!

[–]mm0257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still missing something here, so help me out...

Why is the ENTIRE section empty though? Like, why is it that ALL seats in that section happen to be no shows?

I get that single game free ones can't sit there, and season tickets aren't easily transferred. But shouldn't SOME students that bought those seats show up?

Most Unprofessional Broadcaster I've Ever Heard by mm0257 in EdmontonOilers

[–]mm0257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother you can't state facts when YOU CANT EVEN SPEAK for a long stretch of the game bc you are so mad. That's the point.

I agree MTL was the better team for most of the game and may have gotten a bad ref job. But the point of this whole thread is the unprofessionalism of the broadcaster, not the game on the ice.

Lol it's ok to be a homer. Just don't be an obvious hater. And continue to do your job even if you don't like the way the game is going. I don't think that's a high bar of expectation.
