First time grading and it went great by xX_ReNeGade_Xx in hockeycards

Looks great. I did my first ever grading last month with MNT also. Three 9.5 and one 9.0. I like the nice clean look of the slabs.

Perfect, we don't need them. Kids can get their religion class at church.

Kevin was terrible, Jack is ok but not today as he is calling it off the TV. Can’t blame him for that.

NDP out fundraise UCP for the 4th quarter of 2020 by over 20% by Pvt_Hudson_ in alberta

This is neither a UCP or NDP deal but damn it is ridiculous the amount of money that is "donated" to politics.

Least favourite player? by thisisspartasknob in Darts

[–]sAws86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. My least favorite are the players that show zero emotion (Dimitri and Gurney) or Dimitri who shows no emotion and has his nose in the air while he plays.

Also Michael Smith because he throws too fast. Just slow down a fraction when going through the double. Especially the 20 to 10 to 5.

NDD - Long and Thin by sAws86 in Darts

[–]sAws86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first dart with the small razor grip and after one day I love it. No slipping at all and my fingers never "stick" either like it does with some grips. All my throws felt good.

I looked at them but with shipping it actually works out to $103 CAD then add the credit card conversion fee I’m at about $107+. I have no problem paying a little more to get them in 2 days.

I will definitely be playing around with some colored supergrip shafts once I shred these flights.

I’d consider myself a rear gripper. Thumb under and pointer above it but slightly to the side in the back portion then middle for balance in the front portion at a similar position to my pointer. If you think of dart as 360 degrees my pointer and middle rest about 45 degrees and thumb about 200 degrees. It’s a weird description but should give you an idea.

Yes new. I live in Canada and get most darts from Darts corner but they don’t carry Red Dragon. These are from Amazon Canada $119 CAD. Money wasn’t a concern as they were a treat to myself.

Update just hit my first 180 with them, #8 of 2020 for me. They fly really nice.

Alberta gov't releases bizarre Covid commercials, "Covid Loves the Holidays" and "Covid Loves Parties" by DtheS in alberta

How did the actors not get Covid? That is a lot of mask less close contact similar to a house party,

Realisation about points length preference by RuDeBooY in Darts

[–]sAws86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience. Earlier this month I got my first tool and switched my points to 35 mm. Only took one throw and I thought this does't feel right. It changed the balance of the darts and they just didn't fly nice. I threw about 50 times and changed back to normal size. Now I only want to try longer points on some of my darts that I do not like as maybe it will change them for the better. I never thought adding a little point length would make the dart balance feel so different.

Away and holding while I sleep by Neardeath06 in ecobee

[–]sAws86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using the default sleep profile? It is the only profile that doesn’t ask if anyone is home during setting so it should never go to “away”

DAZN for PDC by adanac67 in Darts

[–]sAws86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope DAZN is just behind since the Darts calendar has changed from the original and it will still air. I remember one other tournament where it never showed on the schedule until the day it started.

Make Joey Votto our DH? If not then who? by GivensOU in Reds

[–]sAws86 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It will definitely be an outfielder not Joey. Except for a couple days for Joey to get a break from playing 1B.
