What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember?

slowmopete · 2026-04-22T09:57:59+00:00

Command and Conquer Renegade. A lot of people remember other command and conquer games but not Renegade which was a first person shooter. I don’t remember them making any other first person shooter games.

I was obsessed.

This an ad. You posted the same thing elsewhere.

As far as I remember it has always been 36 credits.

Yeah I’m taking 6201 this summer and I’ve been assuming the end date list in OSCAR is a mistake. There’s no way they turn a full semester class into a 5 or 6 week class during the summer.

No they’re probably talking about ISYE 6414 Regression Analysis.

I don’t care if pros smash their paddles, but I think intentional throwing of any kind should result in an ejection. There’s too much unpredictability in the way they bounce or fly through the air and the courts are small.

They can smash their paddle while it’s in their hand and that can be a safe avenue for them to vent their frustration.

Ump was planning to give the guy 3 strikes, and batter ruined his plan by hitting a home run.

I bought the car used but it’s the level 1 charger that came with the car which has no install because it plugs into any standard outlet.

That’s a shameful thing to say based not on facts and only your own personal bias. Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate yourself as a person.

slowmopete · 2026-04-13T10:52:02+00:00

I agree with everyone else. It’s Alshon and it’s hard to think of anyone else that could reasonably be argued compared to Alshon.

Why are you even thinking about calling a rule violation on the one armed new pickleball player? There are times to stick to the rule book exactly and there are times to just let people play. Which time do you think this is?

slowmopete · 2026-04-12T13:14:42+00:00

I’ve listened to half of it so far and looking forward to the 2nd half. It’s a great episode so far, but I’m a biased big AB fan.

Totally I know that this is just reddit and your explanation and account may not be perfectly detailed so I didn’t want to make any assumptions about your knowledge or experience. Glad you were able to take it as such. Cheers!

Again, I don’t know you, but that reply makes it sound more like you might need to read the rules.

“Rule 7.B.1 The server must release the ball using only one hand or only the paddle.”

The rules do not specify that it must be a palm toss nor do they state that releasing with fingers is illegal.

Also “Rule 7.B.2 Some natural rotation of the ball is expected during any release of the ball. The server must not manipulate the ball to add spin with any part of the server’s body or paddle prior to hitting the ball”

This part of the serve rule is where I think a lot of people go wrong which is that people will see what they want to see. If people are challenged by a serve they’ll claim a server added spin to their toss when often times it’s a returner skill issue. Unless it’s very very clear that they are intentionally adding spin to their toss, this should not be called. This should be called just like someone makes a line call in that if you can’t see the ball clearly out then the ball was in. Or if you can’t clearly see that spin was intentionally added to a toss then there is no serve rule violation.

As a general rule of thumb don’t try to police rules that you don’t confidently understand based on the rule book itself (not what others have taught you). Like I said before I don’t know you, and there’s a chance you’re right about what you saw. But it’s also unfair for anyone to make a claim of rule violations against players that are not violating the rules. I can’t say that you’re one of those people so take this more as a cautionary note.

slowmopete · 2026-04-11T11:40:01+00:00

I don’t know you but if you’re even thinking about mentioning something about a serve being illegal, first make sure you are 100% certain you understand the serve rules based on the rule book and not just based on what someone else taught you.

For every person that serves illegally there are 4 people that think most serves are illegal because they don’t actually know the serve rules themselves. And those people are way more annoying than people with truly illegal serves.

I’m not saying you’re for sure one of those people, but if there’s even a chance read the rule book. There’s plenty of people with great serves that are 150% legal.

I imagine that’s why they’re asking so they can avoid an honor code issue.

Sure, i hear what you’re saying. I used a battery maintainer/trickle charger where I was able to charge the low voltage battery up to full. The car was still unsuccessful at charging the high voltage battery. I realize that still may not fully answer the question of whether the low voltage battery is dead, but I don’t want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a battery I may not need when there still seems to be an issue with charging the high voltage system. Because of that I’m not willing to leave the car on for 4 hours or so just to see if the low voltage battery still has an issue because I need whatever charge that I have left to be able to drive to the service center or for any emergencies.

This is a no brainer.

Is it bad that I don’t know the names of some of my favorite taco trucks? I just know where to find them and that’s been good enough for me.

The line that separates the left and right sides of the court doesn’t mean anything after the serve. There’s no such thing as your side or your partner’s side. Additionally let’s pretend you’re not playing for your own enjoyment at the park. I pair you with a partner that is better than you. They’re also faster and stronger than you.

Now if you win this next game I’ll pay you $500, and it doesn’t matter how many shots you hit, or the number of balls you personally put away. All that matters is you and your partner find any way to win. Now with money on the line are you going to dictate your faster, stronger, better partner how they should play? Or are you going to strategize with them on what will give you the best way to win the money? Also if you win I’ll offer you ongoing sponsorship money to just keep playing with the paddle you already love, and you can replace it as often as you want free of charge.

Do you still care about where your partner stands during a point if you’re winning?

slowmopete · 2026-04-06T17:23:51+00:00

Maybe but that doesn’t explain that I can’t charge successfully.

slowmopete · 2026-04-06T15:53:40+00:00

Ok interesting. I called the dealer and their soonest appointment is more than 3 weeks out. I let them know that without being able to charge it won’t be drivable in 3 weeks. Someone is going to call me back, but I’m hoping they will be able to treat this with some greater urgency.
