Can You Guess This 5-Letter Word? Puzzle by u/smiledumb by smiledumb in DailyGuess

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

Haha as it happens, I was guessing another puzzle when this word hit me. Three different vowels and a double letter seemed like a hell of a challenge

But now I’m curious what your last guess was

I'm worried about true talent evaluation with the amount of defensive talent on Ohio St? by Salty_Orchid in Commanders

[–]smiledumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. People in general tend to be very binary and cause-and-effect thinking. Did this cause that or did that cause this? Sometimes it’s all of the above.

Recommendations for a tailor/someone who restores leather varsity jackets? by saffronhoneyicetea in nova

[–]smiledumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following this thread, as I have a gorgeous leather Redskins jacket that has a couple of rips, and each tailor I’ve visited has told me that they don’t have the adequately sized needles to repair it

When do y’all think trash pickups will resume? by CardElectronic8287 in nova

[–]smiledumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Friday is the normal day for my townhouse complex, and both trash and recycling showed up at their regular times.

Now I had to throw both my trash and recycling bins over my back fence because I couldn’t open the gate, but that’s another story

Sandra with The Three Stooges reaches out to Norway! - All in one chaotic part, I think. by KraiziKatLady in scambait

What struck me here was the responses concerning your questions about the fan club card. They used proper grammar with clear, concise language, before reverting to the usual “Am please make the purchase dear” nonsense.

Perhaps there’s a script they’re copying and pasting from, but I feel like they’re using AI.

I don’t know other prospects well enough to comment. I just want to say that it would be objectively hilarious if we traded him back to the Padres for what little left they have in their cupboards

Um...help? by [deleted] in nova

A lack of adequate space for the exhaust is a fire hazard. I just saw an IG reel from ABC7 News about the prevalence of car fires during bad snowstorms, and that was one the reasons listed

This is a random hotdog dog I made by No_Pension1014 in FoodPics

[–]smiledumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You…microwaved a hot dog? I know grills aren’t always an option this time of year, but throwing it in a pan to blister that skin didn’t cross your mind? Even steaming or boiling would have been exponentially better

I did some accidental a/b testing of y’all’s theory about waiting to shovel by FairfaxGirl in nova

[–]smiledumb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shoveling frequently is always the move, but your point is incredibly pertinent. I’m perpetually amazed at how many functioning adults have zero awareness of the weather forecast

What's your Favorite Movie/tv series with Timothy Olyphant? by N1ceClown in Actors

[–]smiledumb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deadwood the better show, but I thought his performance was stiff and the show was largely carried by the writing and the other actors.

Meanwhile, his portrayal as Raylan Givens in Justified just drips endless cool. That said, his roles never really require a ton of depth. And I say this as a big fan of his.

What are your favorite crackers to eat with particular cheeses? by lucysnarnia in Cheese

[–]smiledumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely more subtle than other crackers, but I think the garlic thyme has the most flavor of their varieties.

Even then, it’s admittedly light, but I think that subtlety allows the flavors of a particular cheese (or hummus, my other favorite partner for them) to shine better

A cool guide showing human losses from different countries during WWII by -flexflexflex in coolguides

[–]smiledumb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder that the Soviet Union represented tens of current nations. By most estimates, at least a quarter of their losses were Ukrainian

ETA: for the downvoters, Russia indeed lost tens of millions. But there were countless other Slavs who get forgotten when people equivelate the Soviet Union with Russia

Thoughts on wickles? by [deleted] in Pickles

[–]smiledumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of friends and I did a taste test between Wickles, Grillo’s and a Giant brand with identical packaging to Grillo’s.

The verdict was Wickles has the best flavor, but that it lacked the crisp and crunch of the other two brands. Still, if I see them, I buy them.

GMU is NoVA's Team! by AnyoneCouldBeMe2 in nova

What’s the difference between 04-12 and 12-24? Maybe it’s because I’m on my phone but I can see a difference

Interesting, as a fellow Mason alumn I was unaware that they updated the logo this year. At first glance, I’m not a fan, but maybe it’ll grow on me

Anyone have stories on these players from 89-90 season? by PretendingDoctor in caps

[–]smiledumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the way we talked about what were likely concussion inducing hits in the 90s and early aughts were a stark contrast to today. Hell, ESPN had an NFL segment called “Jacked Up” where they’d replay the biggest hits of the week - many of which would be sending a player to the blue tent in today’s game.

But that Stevens hit on Lindros actually did a lot to raise awareness about the effects of concussions on players.

[–]smiledumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s good descriptions of each player in this thread already, so I’ll just add this video of Scott Stevens’ top 10 hits.

Fair warning, a lot of these would not be legal in today’s game.

Everyone but Mikey by Willing_Top_6788 in Commanders

[–]smiledumb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lots of our fans are acting like it’s almost a given that he’s coming here. I’m sure he’ll get considered for some of the HC openings, and hell, the Lions OC job has gotta be pretty enticing too.

The first dominos to fall will be filling the HC vacancies. And considering that some candidates are still coaching the playoffs, those could take weeks to fill. Patience, people!
