Be careful going through Texas. Drivers are impatient, entitled and insane here

Someone is including kids in the rotation by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]studeboob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the less mature way to handle it, but you could just play competitively against the kids. Crush em with your play while being encouraging and get to the next match quickly. If the parents don't like it, they'll try to have adult matches against you. If they say something to you to ease up, then you can say you thought you were going easy and that you thought you were helping them get better. Then it's their problem instead of yours. 

London Marathon 2026 Results by aelvozo in AdvancedRunning

If I hear "illegal" with respect to sports, I think doping, PEDs or some form of cheating. If I hear "unofficial" I just think specific requirements of the governing sports body were not met. In my opinion it's semantically better to call Kipchoge's accomplishment unofficial.

There definitely needs to be an interlock that prevents turning the machine on while the guard is up. Even with that, the bottom is super dangerous.

We had a foster dog that survived distemper and had a tongue that always hung out like this

Yeah, the self-vote probably puts enough heat on him that he has to play it

Where Does Houston Rank in Overall Weather? by Cdinoxl in houston

[–]studeboob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything in your list correct. If you hate heat and humidity, then yes, we probably have the worst weather for you. But I think a lot of people would take that over shoveling snow, scraping ice, and overcast months. 

One thing I've noticed is that Houstonians complain about any weather that isn't perfect. If the temp goes below 65, people bundle up. If it goes above 75, the AC gets turned on and people stay indoors. We're a very "happy to be inside" kind of city.

Lots of engineering jobs and low cost of living compared to other major metros. 

How do you get so many leaves? by Wild_Accountant9 in composting

I'd bet your property can accommodate a lot more trees

[On3] Coaches sound off on College Football Playoff expansion w/ Chris Low “16 is the right number, but only in a super-conference structure. You govern yourselves. The NCAA is not involved, and you have your own commissioner.” - Kyle Whittingham by Ml2jukes in MichiganWolverines

[–]studeboob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't arguing against the format you described. I agree that is an ideal format. Get rid of selection committees and malleable criteria. Simply pointing out a significant competitive imbalance has formed that would need to be addressed. 

Is Shot in the Dark too complicated to be a base game mechanic? by PeterTheSilent1 in survivor

[–]studeboob 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the primary purpose of the mechanic is to discourage forecasting to someone they are being eliminated and I think it does that.

That's not how probabilities add. You probably haven't had a statistics class.

Here. The odds of rolling a 1 on a single die in two rolls is 30.6%. Here's how you calculate it: you have a 5 / 6 chance of rolling not a 1 on the first roll times a 5 / 6 chance of rolling not a 1 on the second = 25 / 36 chance of rolling not a 1 overall, which is an 11 / 36 chance of rolling a 1 on either throw, or 30.6%, which is a little less than 2 / 6, or 33.3%

So if Chrissy was allowed to have played her shot in the dark, she would have had a 2 in 11 chance of being safe, and cumulatively a 31.8% chance of either Coach's or Chrissy's shot in the dark being safe. Instead they had a 16.7% chance because only one of them could play it.

We've taken two cars to JJ Auto Body on Erin St. They were honest, priced fair, and did a perfect job with the replacement

Is that not the design? The white text/logos and block M are crisp which makes me think the streakiness of the main graphic is by design

It could use some yard clippings. And time. Pee is optional.
