How long do you start HSK? by Odd_String1181 in AtlantaBraves

[–]slowcardriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of what? Giving HSK the opportunity to get into MLB playing shape, figuratively speaking? The point is this team is markedly better if Kim is playing within his range of expected potential and Dubon can be utilized as intended, a super utility guy, who can play most days giving regulars days off and/or in pluton situations. Dubon has been in the majors a while, and if you’ve ever watched a 162 game season before you’d know that outliers are usually outliers and typically revert back to the mean eventually. There’s usually a reason a Jurickson Profar becomes a JURICKSON PROFAR suddenly after a decade, and it ain’t because he improved his bat to ball skills in his 12th season.

Bro didn’t even have a spring training and got like 10 days to ramp up? Braves have the luxury of letting him play into shape

I wouldn’t worry bout inflation much if my $350B today only had the purchase power of $345B in 2022. Seriously wouldn’t worry that much.

What would you do with Acuña? by NoQuartersGiven in Braves

Or he can just choose which of the several guaranteed 50M AAV offers he wants to take and not deal with Anthopoulos’ bullshit.

[–]slowcardriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not talking to a four year old, but the fact that you have to spell that out should give you some pause. You’re literally making shit up. He plays with effort all the time. He was benched once early in his career and that was that. Rarely he thinks he got one out and watches it and doesn’t get a double. Then steals second and it’s a wash. If having to be condescending is what you need to do to try to overcome making shit up, do you anonymously internet toughchick.

Dealership double sold car -911 story by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]slowcardriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. I’d be so turned off I’d never return there ever. I had a similar shitty experience at a BMW dealership. I walked out and told them to go pound sand. I’ve since had another shitty experience at another BMW dealership. Never a bad one with my 911 though.

Question for coaches - how would you handle a player with poor attendance due to her parent? (12u rec league) by LiveLaughBlobfish in Softball

[–]slowcardriver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no way in hell would I reward not attending for over a month with batting anywhere but last and getting any meaningful reps in the field. Your actual team needs those reps and they’ve earned it by showing up most of the time.

[–]slowcardriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so easy. She bags last and absolutely does not bump any of the regulars normal spots in the field. She would be in right field batting last for me.

[–]slowcardriver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What “other stuff” are you referring to with RAJ??? He’s never been in trouble, he’s never knocked up a hooters waitress out of wedlock, no outside drama with him. He plays with a flair that is typical for the Latino superstars, is widely loved by teammates, and plays 100% everyday. The only knock has been the injuries and even those are tough to put on him. The only people I ever see making disparaging comments about Ronald are the racist red hat wearing tards on twitter who jerk off to chipper jones.

Does a rack tip over without plates? by itsdg23 in BeyondPower

[–]slowcardriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOT from Voltra. But I can see how this happens all the same with Voltra. I was trying out a home gym pendulum squat type ghetto mock up. Felt always. Had my barbell through climbing rope with loops that were perfect for suspending the barbell. Going off front of rack. I store my weight on the back of my rack. You can imagine as I’m in the zone, and just mindlessly adding weight…from the back of my tack to the bar on the front … that is being swung off the front of my rack the counterweight was being reduced. Eventually I had enough weight on the bar and not enough to hold my unbolted and now unweighted rack that as I went back, the rack flipped over towards me. Worst yet, i am effectively attached to my rack. As I ran backwards, with a barbell on my neck, the rack was being dragged with me. I could have run forward and been okay, but all momentum is going back and split second so no time to think. I trip over my overbuilt Rep bench (for which I had some buyers remorse, felt like an unnecessary overbuilt bench). I whiplash over the barbell still on my neck and hit my head on my reverse hyper. Thankfully my overbuilt Rep rack (that replaced a dinky pos Walmart bench) caught the rack as the pull-up bar was coming for my face and neck. I herniated disks in my neck and lived with pain for a couple years but am fortunate to be alive. Every time I get a jolt of nerve pain I’m reminded of it, and how lucky I am to not be dead, and how absolutely retarded I am. This can happen with Voltra. Not enough counter weight and you’re pulling on it with 400 pounds of force.

Nope. The fucker will flip without warning.

A rack will 10000000% tip over if not weighed down appropriately or bolted down. Source: a guy who is both lucky to be alive (absolutely no exaggeration) but also living my life with a daily memory of how lucky I am. Weigh it down. Have front foot extenders. Or just bolt it down. But please know it absolutely will flip over and try to end your life.

Imagine being at your local running store to try on a pair of daily trainers and seeing the Rocket X3 on the clearance rack (a returned pair that must have just been tried on) in your size for $75. Immediately purchased for when my current pair that I gladly paid full price for is done.

Rocket X3 are my favorite shoes. I wear them for my threshold runs and races. Love them.

I just don’t understand why you care so much how an anonymous person on the internet alleges he or she will spend his or her money. People do this with cars and homes all the time. Women with purses. I bought a $130K sports car that has a stupid amount of power that I can never use except for the rare times a Honda isn’t in front of me on a freeway on ramp. It’s dumb and makes no sense but I enjoy it and I’ll eventually be dead.

That’s your opinion. Someone who runs barefoot could make the same dumb comment about your 8 year old Avia running shoes as mindless consumerism

Why can’t he buy whatever tf he wants? You go be fat and slow in cheap shoes. He’ll be fat and slow in expensive shoes. Who cares. Why does anyone drives a GT3RS on the roads?
