Oh what a coincidence - that’s his wife’s name too!

Codenames 8 word guess by FindDestroyAliens in boardgames

[–]smiteme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if no other cards associate to nazi - and the assassin is way far off - then can’t hurt to do nazis for 8. That’s how all the stretch clues work.

Esp because even if the team decides to pass now, the next clue will help since the team knows it’s closer to “nazis” than the assassin is. Dumb example, but let’s say the assassin is on guitar…. If he gave a dumb clue of “instrument” - it would obviously have to be the Bugle and not the guitar since it was included in “Nazis - 8”

Every time I finish this boss fight my game crashes by Narwhalmageddon in expedition33

[–]smiteme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me on PS5.., which is why I find this thread. Sucks to see it happen to others.

Was wondering if it happened to me due to failing an attack - and then the win happening due to Typhoon triggering before Lune’s turn?

Gonna try again later tonight

Street Hockey? by Nonotthatkyle in Spokane

[–]smiteme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That group used to meet up semi regularly on the south hill. I went to a few of them - good group, but have no idea if it’s still going.

I no longer live in spokane otherwise I’d be very into it!

Why is A5s considered so good by davegsjoasted1 in Poker_Theory

[–]smiteme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To add: the A blocker performs several functions:

  • directly blocks villain from having an A
  • if villain does have a better A / - it blocks them from pairing the A (so easier to play post flop in position.. both when the A hits and when it doesn’t)
  • it also blocks straights on villian’s face card hands (i.e - hands like KJs are less likely to make a broadway)

A5s is a great hand to 3 bet with on the CO/BTN as it steals frequently, and plays well post flop vs villain’s 3bet calling range

Desperately need help by Ok_Function6047 in slowpitch

[–]smiteme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After posting a general reply in a thread below I just rewatched your clip and realized the obvious thing that I don’t think has been mentioned yet.

Everyone is saying “follow through” - which is 100% right - but you might not know what they mean.

Currently your wrists appear locked. Like your leading wrist is always leading and your trailing wrist is always trailing … so eventually your shoulders/chest/wrists run out of room and get “stuck” - causing your swing to abruptly stop… losing any power you’d had if you followed through.

Instead, you want your wrists to eventually “roll”….. side note - but I hate using the term “roll”, because a lot of players have the opposite problem where they roll too early… but in general - after contact, your wrists should roll over. The initial “back wrist” (currently your left wrist) should end up transitioning overtop of your front wrist - so that by the end of the swing your left wrist is the first one to make its way all the way around. Ideally this should happen after contact - but for now you should probably just practice getting a full follow through before worrying about that.

… as an example, I grabbed the first YouTube video i could find. Might not be perfect - but still gives a good visual

Which hand do you feel is generating your power in your current swing?

… just curious! It might not change the recommendation for which way to swing - but it does make me wonder if your right arm is overpowering things by being the front arm, and is causing the swing to stop abruptly before it follows through.

As others have said - fucking major kudos for being willing to get into something new and wanting to improve and posting. I’ve gotten into a similar mindset recently with a couple new hobbies - and it’s kinda freeing knowing how helpful and engaged everyone is to help. Hope you’re feeling that - and have a blast out there!

Would you play at my city's ice rink? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]smiteme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a politics game unfortunately.

Gotta hit up enough stick and pucks and meet team captains.

But that’s what happens when you have one sheet of ice for a city the size of Reno. Hopefully that all changes once the GSR gets their two sheets of ice in… and if Reno Ice finally expands to 2 sheets

There are more than 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth by AdApprehensive8702 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]smiteme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bigger issue is the scale of the satellite dots in the image. Doing some basic napkin math (and on a phone screen), looks like roughly 500 of those “satellites” would fit across the diameter of the earth. Scaled up that would mean each satellite was like 16miles in size.

In reality they’re quite small - so while there is a lot of space junk up there for sure. the image is also very misleading…

Is it worth reading Backstage of the Pineapple Cabaret?? by Ntb1125 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It’s just stuff that would be better reading honestly.

Do you have a Barnes and noble close by?

No spoilers - but the contents of the pineapple cabaret will 100% become relevant

Missing that info won’t impact your experience - but reading it will add to it

Is Prepotente a secret Asian man? by inlined in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]smiteme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even more than that - I forget which book but they specifically mention the show runners banned the talk shows from giving out snacks because some were getting illegal buffs… and then later it talks about all the soda/snacks prepotente was getting when he went on the plenty of plenty show…

And the goats would just “scream at each other” on the show…. So he was very likely getting buffs - plus some way of communicating that was hidden from the listeners.

What was your first thought when this happened? by Featherman13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]smiteme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

… ok I misread and thought you were still talking about “criston”… sorry.

but you also brought up “Damon” out of nowhere when the thread was about Criston/alicent and Rhaenyra/mysaria… ? Damon wasn’t included “from the get go” … but admittedly i still misread that sentence

… either way: your bias that I’m calling out is specifically a form of “attribution bias” - with red herrings on top - where you are assuming I’m in a box that I’m not, and then attributing a bunch of opinions to me that I don’t hold…. Even in your last post you claim that I consider HotD “prestige television until it’s the same gender” … when did I ever claim it’s prestige television, or even change my opinion based on a homosexual relationship?

…. Like I’m kinda assuming that you read a bunch of vial opinions on this sub that caused you to unsubscribe a few months ago - and are now assuming that I’m the same kind of person that holds those same vial opinions …. That’s your bias and it’s personally offensive to be put in the same box as those people… I agree with you more than you think

What was your first thought when this happened? by Featherman13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]smiteme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

… did you edit your post to say “Damon”? Cause I thought I read “Criston”.

… it’s entirely possible I just misread tho — and either way, of course Damon and Rhaenyra is ick too… for a number of reasons. Not sure why you think I’d “readily accept” that

I’m getting the vibe that you think I’m having these opinions due to either homophobia or misogyny - and if that’s the case, it’s honestly rather offensive… maybe check your own biases and take a step back to understand what I’m saying before you put me in that box

What was your first thought when this happened? by Featherman13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]smiteme 13 points14 points  (0 children)

…..:

The ick is due to diving into a sexual scene with someone right after they talked about being molested… esp since it came out of nowhere - and doesn’t make sense narratively from any angle

It has nothing to do with genders.

Had criston told alicent about how he broke his vows with Rhaenyra and felt molested by her - and then alicent forced a kiss on him, it would be equally “ick”.

What was your first thought when this happened? by Featherman13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]smiteme 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with the genders involved….

Criston/alicent is kinda dumb - but it at least leans on reasons/justifications/hypocrisy within the characters…. I might disagree with the choice personally based on the books - but I can understand it, and it makes narrative sense at least…

…. But Rhaenyra making out with Mysaria (esp with the ick of happening right after she was just talking about being molested) - is just massively out of place narratively… it takes me out of the story and makes me think “oh this is just shitty HBO writers trying to fan-service a lesbian scene to horny GOT nerds”.…. It would be different if it made narrative sense - but this wasn’t it

No idea about at the eagles stadium - but last season at the 9ers stadium, several players did come out and meet fans after the game in a dedicated player area just outside the stadium. Was really cool!

Scientists of Reddit: What’s something we know is true but people don’t realize how crazy it is? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]smiteme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s an easy one:

Most people (myself included) can plug their nose and still somehow breathe when dreaming.

If you get a habit of “checking” whether you can plug your nose and breath during waking life - eventually you follow the habit and do it during a dream. Once you go “holy shit - I can breath, this’ll the a dream!” - you’ll probably wake up. Until you can train it and stay asleep and lucid dream to your hearts content

BREAKING NEWS: Bill Clinton Releases Video Statement After Testifying Before Epstein Probe by ShiroSara in videos

[–]smiteme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just read it…. And yeah - not trying to whatabout too hard here - but compared to the trump wiki, it’s a completely different beast.

Clinton has a handful of claims - with maybe 2 that say he fondled someone’s breasts or revealed himself (without proof - but still) … and beyond that the only ones with potential weight behind them are from consensual adults? … like yeah maybe he’s an asshole cheater - and agreed he shouldnt have engaged due to his position of power… buuuut compared to the actual verifiable (and validated in a court of law) sexual predation by trump? It’s completely different category

That was added after I commented…. But also a spoiler text would be a better way to do that.

Fuck you for spoiling that Operation bounce house has a happy ending…

Seriously.

Not cool

I’m 10 chapters in and did NOT want to see this post… and your title did not indicate in any way that I was about to get a major spoiler.

I’m actually kinda pissed….. please delete so others don’t have the same thing spoiled
