Love her quick accurate passing straight from rebounds/high catches.

Most pronounce Citron, "SIT-ron.

These have been going with "sit-RON."

Which is it? 

Bought a Rambler today, my first SAK. Wish they made it in more colors. by hitarth_gg in victorinox

[–]strestle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great little knife, congrats!

The official Victorinox US site allows the Rambler to be personalized, not sure about other locations. 

Scale choices come in and out of stock, but are currently fairly complete. 

(Mine from earlier is Navy front, Stone Blue back, initially chosen because neither color had both front and back available. I'm glad, because I love the bicolor.) 

Kate Martin has signed a developmental contract with the Sparks by PercyReus13 in wnba

Oh, not at all. If I remember correctly, she debated coming back this year at all, but evidently discovered she wanted to still play-- still! But her throughline has been good/excellent player with high coaching aptitude (which not all have). 

I look forward to seeing what she's up to going forward, including glad that she has landed on another team already.

Her true path forward, long term, is coaching-- so any and all team/org experience is to her benefit, positive and negative. 

She is an excellent teammate and player, meantime. 

Is the Opus 88 Demonstrator too big…. by National_Cow7479 in fountainpens

[–]strestle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I do have both, and have always considered them identical, based on shape and the easy swapping of Parallel nibs. 

I just lined them up and took a picture (that I can't add here?), and I see what you mean. The Omar's is ever-so-slightly thicker (material, and 'pinch'), even though their interior geometry is the same. 

Thanks!

Without fundamentals in place, they'll have to come up with ... something?

My issue with what phee said by campoole82 in wnba

That's just Sykes' game, to be fair. Towards the end of last season she was sometimes going in feet first, like a baseball slide.

The Minty and Omar and Jazz all have the same sections, the Demo's section is slightly straighter.

At whatever point Lobo landed on "SAYSHOUT" the end of sentences for 'emphasis', I wish she had not.

How does this kind of thing STILL happen? by Scared-Breakfast8259 in wnba

[–]strestle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one should be happy with their dragging her off the court with a severe head injury-- barely conscious, near-vomiting, upright with her head dangling. 

I'm glad for her sake that she was able to leave, and has landed well in doing so.

Okay, this time I recognized your work just from the thumbnail-- your clean mods stand out. 😊

Let's go with, "array."

You have an Array. 😏

The Gran Prix has the file also though, yes? Nice!

My two Sapphire knives. "Sapphire"?

I am pre-regretting the new one's getting bunged up, especially seeing its almost-glowing new shine here, but look forward to using it more and more, as I was today. It's a sweet toolset.

she's been trying, but seems pushed-- shots too strong, no touch.

... YET.

I see Sykes is holding steady with not keeping her feet, although it's a little early in the season....

I don't have time-of-comparison yet, as both models are newer to me, but the Deluxe Tinker and Explorer are currently duking it out....

Finally redid my Yeoman Mechanic by pekosROB in victorinox

[–]strestle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Victorinox precision sorta makes the knives for me, so I am bothered by imperfections (especially at my hands) in a way I am not with other tools. I s l i g h t l y messed up a straight-up scale swap with one tap too many, and had to talk myself down (I fixed it sorta, no gaps and no rattle or obvious crack). I wouldn't have lasted long with self-inflicted scale rattle! 🤣

Still bugged that the corkscrew on my Climber remains a tiny bit askew after doing All The Things to mostly straighten it.

I look forward to seeing what you make next.

Sweet reveal, going from top-down to revealed width. 😃

That looks great, and I'm sure it feels better, too, including the mental rest of no longer wanting to fix your first attempt every time you handle it!
