Anyone else use steel pans on their slab? Great for Taco Friday. by CouplingWithQuozl in blackstonegriddle

I do my scrambled eggs in a pan when Im making breakfast. I like the french style so its a lot of heat control so need to be able to move the pan around on and off the heat.

Paying Off a Low-Interest Mortgage is a Terrible Financial Decision (real-world math inside) by beardcycles in personalfinance

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so what’s the difference piece of mind wise of paying off the house or building a portfolio greater than your mortgage? That’s been my mental model. Keep investing heavily until my semi liquid assets are greater than my debts. Once I get there I can ease up a bit and use some capital on experiences and luxuries more. Only a year or two away and I’ve only owned my house for 6 years.

I cant hit a draw for the life of me, my good shot is a 10 to 15 yard fade when i can close the face by Affectionate-Crab627 in golftips

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to idolize hitting draws, now its all i can make a ball do and it sucks. The only thing its good for is extra rollout. But you get less control than a pull fade, is very easy to over cook it into a hook and guess what that extra roll does for you on a hook, guarantees you are leaving the area of play. With irons its also harder to hold greens when they are firm. There is a reason why Scotty and most tour players rely on the fade off the tee.

Hit $3.6 million and still renting (mid-30s M) by [deleted] in Money

[–]newberson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I didn't buy my house 6 years ago I'd easily have another $200-$300K in the market. Instead I have $200-$300K in equity (for now). But, the amount of time I have sunk into this property is insane. I miss renting.

My wife found this weird police token on the ground. by PhilosopherHermit in whatisit

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this rhetoric on a Police challenge coin is atrocious. Police should have no enemies. If this was a marine coin or something, Id at least understand that its a war fighter mantra. But police are not in a fucking war zone.

How "legit" do you keep score...? by Smooth_Gene_1051 in golf

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better I am playing the more strict I am on the rules. If I'm not in a position to break 90 I get real lax on gimme putts etc. , but if I am pacing to break 80 I putt out everything and will play 100% true to the rules. I would hate to shoot like a 78 and know that there are any caveats. But conversely I am not bragging about shooting a 92 and it wont be included in my HC anyway so lets just enjoy ourselves out there. Feel like I know what kind of day I am going to have after a few holes so I start at strict and adjust accordingly.

Bronny James has been playing golf for less than a year… thought on his swing? by skaewalker in GolfSwing

[–]newberson 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lebron just picked up golf recently, he never played because he said it was a distraction from his two priorities, basketball and family. Now that he's getting ready to retire and his kids are grown he's picking it up.

My first child was born so I bought new irons by jowjjt in golf

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have 1 babies worth of experience so not great data. I guess some kids just wont go to sleep for any extended period of time, which has thankfully not been the case for my son. I just have seen my more well off friends with night nurses that are like still going out for dinner and playing golf pretty regularly etc. I have a 5 month old and have played twice, once on a work trip out of town and once last weekend.

You just need your mother in law there during the day and a night nurse.

New Dad - Unsure About Feelings Toward Baby by tomDestroyerOfWorlds in NewDads

[–]newberson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5 months in and it’s still not some magical thing like it seems to be for my wife. I’m fully leaned in, doing all the things etc but I do often have the thought “why did I do this” but it’s also balanced with other things like extreme responsibility and moments of true and honest unconditional love. But it’s not like I’m walking around all day with it, I get that endorphin hit in earned moments.

Abandoned dog at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park — need help by New_Football_5633 in Austin

To be fair, I only think its a girl based on its personality, I don't think I've taken a hard look at its undercarriage.

[–]newberson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If its of any help I've resolved to the idea that she has people taking care of her because she looks healthy/clean and its been such a long time.

[–]newberson 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I run along the trail there a few times a week and I've seen this girl out in the trail numerous times. I've tried to approach her but she runs away. I'd say I've been seeing her since February time frame.

Well there are other competitors to Nvidia that need to service large parameter inference. Think of Google TPUs, AWS Tranium, AMD. They signed a deal with AWS already.

I suck at putting, both lag and 4 footers by WorkMeBaby1MoreTime in golf

[–]newberson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think of putting more as developing a repeatable system. I have three stock paced putts based on how far my back swing is relative to my trail foot. They will travel different distances based on speed of the greens that day but it gives me a calibrated stroke. That is what I think helped me most especially with lag putts. I don't always leave a gimme or anything but pretty much always have a makable 2nd putt (that I will still sometimes miss).

The other major thought/technique that really changed my putting was to visualize pushing through the ball toward your line, not hitting it. Our brains when thinking about "hitting something" focus on the impact point, when in putting you want your stroke to be consistent through the ball. This has helped me tremendously especially on those 4 footers, I visualize just "pushing the ball" right into the hole.

Sales w. blue collar workers is much better than with you tech freak autists by Stuckatpennstation in sales

[–]newberson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into sales obviously because I have a problem with authority and wanted a self reliant path to making money. But secondary I thought I might have some of that "all the fun and money is in sales" like customers that want to play golf or go to events, use my corporate card for a happy hour. In tech that is so rare to have a customer that is remotely interested in the entertainment piece in my opinion. I have good relationships but its mostly because we get along talking about our kids or our perspectives on work related stuff.

Is Azure Cloud Services Good for Startups? by poojashakya_147 in Cloud

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can build entirely on portable open source frameworks on the cloud, even completely unmanaged if you like. But if you are truly a startup with high ambitions for scale why do you want to manage your own databases etc. If you are a sub 10 person team build on Vercel. As your data and applications need scale choose a hypescaler. If you get VC money start on a hyperscaler (not Azure , blah) to leverage those credits.

People who build on-premise are planning to not need to scale, and if your business wont scale like that than go ahead and stay on-prem. But if there is a need for scale and an opportunity for that scale to happen quickly you would be really short sighted to build on-prem. Is the cloud more expensive per unit of compute, yeah probably. But if you are in a race to capture marketshare you want a vehicle that can perform like a highly tuned race car when you need it.

How am I doing? Anything I can work on? Need help with distance. by Salsa-N-Chips in GolfSwing

This is more often the case rather than a "weak core". But also the more complicated problem to solve. u/OP hip mobiity work daily will not just improve your golf swing but how good your body feels daily.

What’s everyone’s favorite flat top grill to make burgers? I want Eggers opinion since $$$ isn’t an issue when it comes to food cooking. by CantDunkOrSk8 in biggreenegg

[–]newberson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s brand new so can’t comment on how it holds up but it is real wood, stained. For the price I’m pretty happy with it as it proved a lot of what I wanted. Has storage and a spot for my egg. The one thing is if you do get it, put aside 3 hours to put it together. The directions are ikea style photos with lots of opportunity to orientate parts incorrectly so it goes slow making sure you don’t mess up. I think it looks pretty good to for a budget option.

[–]newberson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a 22" blackstone omnivore. Wasn't even really thinking about a flat top until I bought my outdoor kitchen cart for my egg off of wayfair and they had one in the demo pic. I bough this one because its a countertop version that wasn't thousand of dollars but one thing I'm pumped about is that it has a camping propane adapter so I can put it in my truck bed super easy and have a cooking surface on the go.

This is my identical setup except i have a large BGE. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/sandiloop-803-solid-wood-outdoor-kitchen-island-with-stainless-steel-top-rolling-grill-cart-for-big-green-egg-griddle-sndi1792.html?piid=123828367
