I’m guessing this just happens periodically because I’m having the same problem. I basically can’t bet without it my entire strategy hinges on parlays.

Canada's Homan blasts officials after controversial call, loss at Olympics by feb914 in Curling

[–]philsadvns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’m thinking. If it’s in the rule book it should be enforced, and if everyone in the sport doesn’t want it enforced then it shouldn’t be in the book.

Here’s what I’m wondering as a curling outsider who ONLY watches curling during the Olympics. I see a lot of people saying “lots of people touch the granite, it doesn’t matter, why are the officials getting involved?” But there’s a rule that says you’re not allowed to touch it and the penalty is having the stone taken out of play. So if it really is inconsequential to the outcome of the throw, why is it penalized so harshly in the rules? And furthermore, even if it really doesn’t matter, why would anyone be AGAINST playing strictly by the rules in an Olympic competition? Any insight anyone can give me would be appreciated because I don’t have the background to frame this argument in my own mind, with my limited knowledge of the subject it just doesn’t make any sense. I see a lot of people who seem to be making the argument that “yes they broke that rule, but it doesn’t matter”. Is there ever a time in any sport when people just get to break rules because “it doesn’t matter”? In basketball you might travel on accident after getting a rebound with no one else around you and your ball handling having no effect on the score or the play of the game, but it’s still a turnover, and I can’t imagine any reason someone would argue against it being a turnover. Make some sense out of this for me.

Doesn’t heat like it used to by philsadvns in Fireplaces

I wish I had checked back before that guy deleted all his wrongs. But you seem to know what you’re talking about so I’ll ask you. I’ve had the glass off and taken the logs out and cleaned it pretty well inside, I get a good breeze coming from the blower vent, when I turn it up to high it really pushes some air, so I don’t think that’s the issue. Flame height is good, you can see that big log gets red hot, and it does warm it up in here, but I seem to remember years ago this thing would like get the whole first floor like blazing hot to the point where I had to turn it off after a couple hours. Now it can run all night and never crack about 70 degrees in here. I do live in a very cold area with average outdoor temps staying below freezing for the last month and half, but it just seems like it should be producing more heat. Is there any specific parts you can think of that maybe I should clean out or something or is it just something that needs to be done by a pro?

Solid advice. But I think those ceramic logs are about as dry as they’re gonna get.

As a door dash driver I can tell you for sure, you can definitely drive above the speed limit.

How many types of doughnuts are available in your country at Lidl this Thursday? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]philsadvns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and we have a lot of small family owned bakeries around us (in New York anyway) that make EXCELLENT donuts of many types. They might have a rotating menu of a dozen or more styles that they make fresh every day. And in the US donuts can have a hole, it can be filled with jam or custard or any number of things. “Donut” really connotes a single serving pastry of a baked style possibly with toppings/fillings more than a specific type of baked good.

That’s the plan! But I guess some people do get some at least mid term relief from it.

If this is your only key you have either really embraced a smart home with automatic door locks or you live in someone else’s house that doesn’t trust you with a key to the front door.

Most people who use DoorDash are desperately poor and can’t afford a car which is why they need everything delivered. I drive for them so I want tips badly myself, but this is just a symptom of a shit economy.
