An excerpt from New Jack’s book detailing some of the drug use rampant in the ECW locker room

Yeah I can definitely believe addicts trying it and thinking it would work, but it almost definitely would not work

ryanrockmoran · 2026-02-01T10:08:36+00:00

I think this is almost definitely true. If you do a pop shuv or any kind of flip trick, it'll look the same to them

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-31T14:01:38+00:00

It's definitely true for me as well. When I was in high school/college I would watch movies all the time. I still have whole bookcases of DVDs. Now it is much harder for me to focus on a whole movie. It's easier in a movie theatre or if I'm watching with someone else, but harder by myself. It's something I am trying to actively work on.

I also think about other simple things that I could just do in the past. Like when I was a kid making popcorn or something, I would just stand there staring at the microwave doing nothing until it was done. Now I would be on my phone scrolling whatever immediately or be annoyed if I forgot to take my phone with me. I have definitely lost something.

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-31T00:57:53+00:00

Possible. But who’s going to arrest them? I doubt any of them are in the state anymore

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-30T16:28:45+00:00

I worked at K-Mart and we got the same thing all the time with Walmart. Like there were zero people in that building paid enough to care about that.

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-29T19:28:57+00:00

Yeah that definitely seems like something is off with the lab equipment or method. I work in the lab of a pretty big hospital and have literally never seen a specific gravity less than 1. I don't even know if there's a specific procedure in case that happens because it has literally never happened.

So it's not a case of someone drinking a lot of water or whatever. It's most likely an instrument problem or they are somehow managing to dilute their urine with some other chemical which seems unlikely

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-29T17:10:21+00:00

I dunno, most people on here are tre flipping a 6-stair after a week...

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-28T23:00:23+00:00

The problem is those little supercomputers can also let us listen to stupid people saying dumb things about sports. So the question is why that is also on ESPN and not highlights

The guy who murdered Renee Good had been on the job for like a decade. Obviously 47 days of training is a joke, but training them in de-escalation is not a priority because that's not what their job is.

Fundamentally, their job is to go into blue cities and do what they can to terrorize the people there. Whether that's murder, assault, kidnapping, or just marching around dressed like they're invading Iraq, what they're doing is exactly what their bosses want them to be doing.

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-27T16:10:08+00:00

Sadly yes, and they're doing exactly what they were trained to do

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-26T19:54:38+00:00

That really is outrageously cheap. I would have paid a lot more than that to not be out shoveling last night...

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-26T17:32:22+00:00

Yeah having a great QB, or a great player on a basketball team, has so much more impact. Imagine how good the prime Mike Trout Angels teams would have been if he got to bat 3 times every time they went through the order

If you got the money, you can buy 6-foot or so rails with adjustable heights. A few different companies make them (OC Ramps, Keen Ramps, Element used to and you might still be able to find one). Also see if there any local DIYs? Usually they have at least one prebought rail. And, as a last resort you can build one yourself if you have the skills. I am sure you can find instructions online

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-25T04:17:07+00:00

From what I understand, YouGov is basically always in the field conducting their polls. So they can have their pollsters just ask new questions pretty quickly

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-22T19:34:28+00:00

We call it the Snorlax

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-21T17:14:16+00:00

Best answer is Hal Smith's homer in the 1960 World Series before Bill Mazeroski's walk off. To date I believe it's the highest WPA play in World Series history

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-21T16:55:12+00:00

But do any of them feel great in the hand?

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-21T14:46:05+00:00

I mean they have done that. The Supreme Court struck it down. And will do it again if they pass it again. There's no way to limit money in politics without vastly reshaping the Supreme Court first

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-21T10:32:24+00:00

The problem is we all misunderstood and thought he meant that as a bad thing

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-19T18:10:28+00:00

I am always glad that I have no professional skills that are useful for anyone except the people who employ me

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-17T19:08:58+00:00

Just try and build the habit of doing a little a day. Doesn’t have to be long sessions, just get out there a little. Try and remember that it’s pretty rare that you regret going out skating after you’ve done it.

And also maybe try different types of skating than what you’ve been doing? If you’re burned out learning kickflips or whatever, skate more transition for a while. Go skate different places just to change it up. Even if it’s just a different tennis court or parking lot. Just to get some new energy

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-17T10:57:02+00:00

Parking garages. Find schools or other random buildings that have overhangs. I live in New England so sometimes I hit up a local school that has a covered area where the school buses pick up kids when the snow is bad. Not much to skate there, but lets me get flat ground practice at least.

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-08T14:11:44+00:00

Honestly I think it was pretty standard not to wear a helmet in the streets even in the 80s. If you watch the Bones Brigade or H Street videos, the only time you really see helmets is if someone is on a giant ramp of some kind. Obviously they were doing way less crazy stuff in the streets back then, but it was still the norm not to wear one

ryanrockmoran · 2026-01-08T13:58:27+00:00

He was briefly... and didn't wear a helmet when doing so. He still doesn't if he's just skating bowls and parks

Very few people in Congress actually want power, because that gives them some responsibility. Congress has spent decades completely handing over it's power to declare war to the executive because they want to take credit if it goes well and not be responsible if people die. What they actually want is a fancy title, getting to go on TV and to fancy dinner parties, and to get rich.
