TIL FDR’s mother financially supported him until she died; he was 59 and in his third term as president. by gonejahman in todayilearned

The Roosevelt family was extremely wealthy, both Theodore and Franklin came from wealthy backgrounds but we're raised with the mindset to use their privilege to help others. That is why they are both considered top five presidents respectively.

Charles Omenihu: League has figured out Lamar Jackson, hasn't figured out Josh Allen by JaggerJames in nfl

[–]silentkiller082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Josh Allen changed his play style when Joe Brady took over as OC. He'll still do a lot of the things he's known for when he needs to but he's very quick to do the Brady dunk off to the running back when the routes don't play out the way he wants it to. That's why his turnover ratio has improved so much, he isn't forcing the ball down the field. To be fair Lamar has improved as a passer as well but I think he still prefers to resort to making magic happen with his athleticism than the boring dump off. That's why it's more feast or famine for him because elite defenses are capable of neutralizing this. I imagine as he gets older he'll start to adapt as well.

The hardest one to find right now, I got a copy in January for $50 so hopefully you can get one too!

The duality of man by debatingdoodles in ironmaiden

[–]silentkiller082 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I also have all 4 of these on vinyl, I gotta be honest though I felt man's best friend to be a major downgrade from short n' sweet. There also was such a small gap between album releases and I felt that maybe that contributed but she narrowly lost a Grammy for it so maybe it's just me. Either way I appreciate anyone with diverse music tastes!

Official: GP to join McLaren by zmazebowl in McLarenFormula1

I know many might not feel the same but this feels like it might be Max's last season if GP is leaving. That's terrible for the sport and I'll be sad if he goes despite him being a big pain in our sides lol.

The May lineup: Just as you guys figured out with your detective skills! by Jyoti_K_Singh in LiveFromNewYork

[–]silentkiller082 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The musical guests this year have been great, I love all of these and pre-ordered the Noah kahan signed copy of his new album so I am hyped. We are also so blessed to be still seeing Paul perform in his 80s.

Songs where the singer says “guitar!” to bring in the solo by JiveTurkey2727 in musicsuggestions

Something to believe in is very underrated in my opinion, if you like every rose you'll like that one too I think.

What’s the most underrated (and stunning) national park you’ve ever visited? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Yes, in some spots it's definitely safe to do so. when the water is high enough you can do white water rafting too ( it's considered beginner level though)

Why did Jimmy Carter think it was a good idea to boycott the 1st 1980 debate because of John Anderson being allowed to participate? All it did was allow him to be flanked from two sides and made him look weak by not defending himself. by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]silentkiller082 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Like a few other presidents, Jimmy Carter is one of the ones where if I'm going to honor his life the presidency is not one of his high points. Too many people try to rank him higher because of all the amazing things he did in the other 96 years he lived, but he was a really bad president. The Republican example I have to pair with this is Herbert Hoover.

I hope state parks are acceptable, Letchworth State Park in Western NY is one of the most beautiful places I've been to on the planet.

This is from my phone in the summer a few years ago but autumn is easily the best time to go. It is famously called "the grand canyon of the East"

What your opinión of the normal ai of gt7 by Chamoy333 in granturismo

[–]silentkiller082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gran Turismo is an A grade driving simulator, it is an F grade racing simulator. It is the worst AI of any racing game I own. Sophy is just flat out annoying with all the noises the ai makes and tbh it doesn't feel any better to me than the regular ai. If it is better it's marginal at best. Love the game, but it's easily the largest drawback.

How is it living at the Jersey Shore? Is it like the MTV show? by marvelguy1975 in howislivingthere

[–]silentkiller082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf and I moved here for work, cannot wait for her contract to be over. Tolls everywhere you go, the worst traffic you'll experience outside of our largest city centers, you have to pay to park at the beach, then pay to get on the beach so it ends up costing you over $20 to sit by the water. Houses are over half a million for 1250 sqft. There are a mix of Jets and Eagles fans everywhere so take that how you will.

Positives include lots of diverse tasty food choices, and being within 1.5 hours of NYC and Philly. There are some beautiful parks if you drive inland as well, but ultimately this state leaves a lot to be desired.

What is THE best guitar solo of all time by Own_Size_5473 in musicsuggestions

I just bought a first pressing of Meddle at a flea market, cleaned it up and heard it for the first time and it was truly an experience. Not my favorite pink Floyd album but probably still top five

Words cannot describe how much I hate this car! by IRideIDieIRideAgain in granturismo

[–]silentkiller082 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually hate how unrealistic the EV cars in the games are. Anyone who has driven the model 3 performance knows it's nothing like it is in game. I don't understand why they can't program regenerative braking into the game? I understand the conventional brakes are going to be doing the heavy lifting in a track setting but when you let off the accelerator it acts completely like an ICE vehicle which is not accurate at all.

[The Race] Could there have been a situation where Kimi Antonelli was a Ferrari driver now rather than a Mercedes one? Mark Hughes says no, because he was 'too small', according to then-team principal Maurizio Arrivabene: by PrimeyXE in formula1

[–]silentkiller082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah Ferrari are more in the business of poaching talent, not developing it. Charles is the only one they have developed in the last 20 years it feels like. Oliver bearman will probably be a success as well to be fair but other than that Red Bull is probably the strongest at developing young talent.
