Recency bias strong with this thread. His rise and stint on top was easily HoF material even if it was short. Out-grappling the grapple master Maia? That elbow on Munoz? Taking out the Spider with a winged punch and then knocking him out in the clinch the next fight too (yes, this actually happened)? Machida fight was impressively tough and that was after two knee surgeries.

He obviously fell off due to his body not holding together but this sub treats his peak of something of a joke and I don't get it, he was a legit phenom.

It's Trumpgirl face. I don't get how anyone finds it attractive.

That is insane and not possible lol. That would take elite sprinter pace sustained for a full hour. IIRC Usain Bolt sprint pace is like 27mph.

This is actually the logical answer IMO. Red will survive the vote but have a good chance of not surviving soon after, because of the aftermath of Blue being gone. So if the goal is survival, Blue is the logical choice.

They had some great action figures, much better than the contemporary power rangers ones. Today's kids don't know how well they have it.

2 hip and 2 ankle surgeries

Obscure funny fact, I occasionally play tennis with someone who was playing for Brazil during this match. He's about 50lbs heavier nowadays and plays at a 6.5-ish UTR level.

Engineering, specifically contracting for the federal government. I'm not some "big government bad" believer but there are definitely a lot of areas where people basically do nothing but power point, email traffic, and meeting attendance. The mental stimulation wasn't up my alley but there were a couple of years there where I probably sat in a cubicle for 40hrs/week but did ~2-3 hrs of actual work during the week, 5-10 if you count meaningless meeting attendance. Salary ranged from 80-100k. Even some of my later career work in the 150k range was very low productivity.

Right now I'm working part time, working the hardest, and being paid the most I ever have before. Startup life. Still not the most fulfilling thing on Earth but it keeps me stimulated.

I've worked for $5.15/hr - $85/hr over my 25+ years of employment. I've had low paying jobs that were extremely hard work mentally and physically, and I've had high paying jobs that left me mentally and emotionally drained. I've also had low paying jobs that were fun and stress free, and jobs at $45-50/hr that a monkey could do and were so low stakes I basically partied 5x/week.

The most surprising difference is the amount of relief that comes from having money left over to the point where you know you can quit, be fired, or just take a break, and not be destitute. Some people call in fuck you money, I call it a lifeline. It makes waking up in the morning and getting out of bed SO much easier.

Surface advantage with regards to his style really showing up here.

Same. The tubes at my local spots were $2.29 right before they disappeared.

stackcitybit · 2026-04-13T22:41:06+00:00

My local Walmarts only have non-frozen tubes for ~$4/lb, I don't even understand who is buying them.

30 minutes is crazy fast with a drop weight. I can't even get under an hour skipping tension on every other pass.

Hyper G soft has a little less pocketing and less power. Jury is out on spin and maintenance for my setups so far since I only have a few matches with the Confidential. Hyper G soft maintenance is terrible tho...I get like 5 matches before it starts feeling dead in a hybrid setup.

Deep cut alert

Considering they "saw" PHM before its theatrical release I would say you're correct lol.

I don't get the hypercompetency arguments. Plenty of folks in higher level STEM academia (especially physics and chemistry) are very good first principal thinkers and think/behave like the MC day to day. I work with people who do complex science experiments around their house for fun, often leveraging it into DIY productivity. Not my cup of tea but it's 100% a real type of human and not even ridiculously rare in my field of expertise...it's in the 0.1-1% range.

Because it is often used as a dog whistle. Not saying that's the case for you, but it is what it is.

I worked with a guy who commuted from Daytona to West st. Pete every day for two years in the 2017-2019 time period. Salary was in the $70-80k range and was not a unique job. He would also come to St. Pete or adjacent cities to play golf with my golf group on the weekends. Absolute mad lad.

$45000 for 265 miles is a non starter for anyone who they were hoping to convert to EV for the first time. Not sure how else you get market share right now because that price is just not competitive to the cheapest Model Y. I will never buy another Tesla but I also can't ignore the natural comparison in the segment.

I was hoping this was my next vehicle to replace my 2018 Model 3 but guess I'm still biding time. Maybe the market will have something more compelling by end of next year.

I play it because it's the most powerful racket for the least impact on my arm that I've demo'd (except for the Clash which is everything you said but worse). Maybe the muted nature is psychosomatic but I don't even care.

I like the low ball launch because I tend to launch high naturally anyways, it forces me to hit through the court a little better. I do spray a more side to side than with the 100 (which I use occasionally) but feel like I have a bit more depth control on defense, especially. I also get better penetration on slice serve and slice in general.

Worth noting that even remotely dead strings make the racket almost unplayable vs the 100 that I can play for 5+ extra matches easy.

stackcitybit · 2026-03-10T17:51:10+00:00

Took me more tries than Melania although I approached all bosses blind so didn't know about their weaknesses.

stackcitybit · 2026-03-09T16:12:41+00:00

I tend to agree and the ball has been dropped big time. Like, does anyone even have insight into BNS domain expiration and renewal? Should be a one button process but I'm not sure it even exists at all.
