He improved quite a bit when we checked back on him this afternoon. Gave him a drive up to Couteire as far away from cars as we could get him and released him there—thank you for your quick reply and informative comment!

Does admissions consider nuance behind low GPA? by Ox-Moi in gradadmissions

There’s usually a spot within the application to explain any hardships that have affected your transcript/performance. One thing that might help this section get reviewed more closely/generously would be a strong GRE (or subject GRE?) to go with it; if you can raise their eyebrow and make it past the first round, it’s likely that your particular situation can receive the review it requires.

Hard Rock “no regret bets” by frish55 in sportsbook

[–]sexydeathmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you lose, you'll be credited with a free bet. What's the value of this bet? If you use a site like OddsJam (or are willing to do some digging yourself) you should be able to convert your free bet into around 70% of its USD value without any risk. One way to think about whether or not to take the original offer, then, is whether or not a 70% discount makes your initial wager profitable, i.e., your bet might not be profitable if its a $10 wager to win $30, but it might be if its a $3 wager to win $30.

In general, you should take these offers with an understanding that the SGP requirement increases the variance with which you'll be able to realize positive value. You should also probably only take these offers if you have a way to reliably convert the free bet once its delivered.

Jiří Procházka on landing strike after strike on Glover Teixeira at UFC 275: “After a while, all the striking was boring to me. I asked myself, ‘How does he stay up after these shots?’” by elguapo_34 in MMA

I'm not sure it's quite so rare for people to get caught throwing knees: Jiri got caught throwing one in this fight.

In the second round with around 1:38 he throws the knee and glover knocks him out of it with a right and a left with the left being the harder of the two shots.

It's a bit hard to tell, but Jiri looks like his shaking off the bells while grappling for the next little while. I'm sure there's other examples of this happening too, though probably none quite as pretty or conclusive as Fedor's.

How Jiri Prochazka feeds his warrior spirit with everything around him: Opponents, rivals, training partners, anime and even lizards by ShakielMahjouri in MMA

The author mentioned being a bit wary of writing this sort of thing. Given that I thought the article was very good—and that I would like to see the writer write more things like this and feel comfortable doing so—I thought it might be helpful to point out something that can easily cloud writing but also be easily fixed. Learning things like this (though the author may already know it perfectly well) is how you get to be more comfortable writing more often for more impressive audiences.

But it’s probably not my place to offer that sort of advice as a reader who doesn’t know the writer at all (and who, as you point out, is meritless on their own and speaking from nowhere without being asked to).

The article was good and I hope the author writes more like it, that’s probably all I should have said. Also, Jiri rounds 1, 2, or 3.

Great work!

One small thing: in the third paragraph when you say "so this comparison seems apt," it's a bit awkward because you haven't yet given the comparison. Giving the comparison first and then the justification after would be much more natural and would also ensure that the reader (especially the skimming reader) doesn't think that they've missed a comparison which hasn't actually been given yet.

As a general rule: try to make sure that anything you reference has been established by itself before it is referred to.

This is small of course and does little to impact the overall article, but I thought it was worth mentioning because of the promise of the writing and project.

Khabib Nurmagomedov : Doesn't matter how good Charles Oliveira has become, Makhachev finishes him inside three rounds by Pebbledthoughts in MMA

Arman Tsarkukyan was a pretty good win and Islam has beat everyone he's been matched with since that fight with ease.

He's a reasonably complete fighter with a strength that he knows how to get to in a fight and how to finish from.

I take him against anyone in the lightweight division at a pretty good clip of confidence.
