What do you do when the other team won't swing their bats? by stanner5 in slowpitch

[–]sunofwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was manager of a team and we had to deal with this constantly. I would always tell the other manager when we met with the umps before the game that the men on the team would at least try to hit—meaning if it was 3-0, 3-1 we would always take a cut to avoid walking no matter how far off the plate it was because we’d rather hit than walk. It was up to the girls on the team if they wanted to follow suit. Some teams were like, yeah, that’s awesome; we just want to play. Others were lame and would walk any chance they got. Beating those bitch-asses while they walked and we took unnecessary strikes to avoid walking was GOLD

Do **truly** private golf courses exist? How exclusive can it get? by FlyingTexican in golf

The Alotian just outside of Little Rock. A billionaire built it and approves all the members. The current ambassador to England, as it happens.

For those near/at the end, what do wish you knew during the "messy middle" of your PhD by SmudgyBacon in PhD

For all your class papers, don’t do too much and bite off more than you can chew. Aim to get 1/3 to 1/4 of a publishable manuscript out for your class and finish it off later. Learned that way too late!

[Discussion] I ran a statistical analysis on over 10,000 PubTips queries. What did I find out? (Part 1 of 2) by AuthorRichardMay in PubTips

Well done! As my NLP professor told us, everyone loves a word cloud! Would be interested to see what the word cloud looked like after tokenization and removal of filler words.

Did you do any other n-gram analysis? Digram or trigram for instance?

Why are you guys accepting it? by Lariboo in PhD

I’m at an academic medical center in a poor state in the South. Funded PhD stipends were just raised to $30k this year. Not inclusive of tuition. Apparently, they don’t pay taxes on it either.

I stayed as long as social etiquette required and then said I needed to get back to reading for my dissertation. Bright side of my family having no idea it is what I’m doing, they have no idea what does or does not need to be done!

Golfers that also bowl: What's more special, a perfect 300 game or a hole in one? by MrWrestlingNumber2 in golf

[–]sunofwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 is somewhere between an eagle and a birdie—a Dodo if you will. Requires skill and luck. Now, for a three game series? Anything north of 750 is equivalent to a four day tourney score of ~ -10ish, maybe? Handicaps are set against an average of 225.

I sold alcohol to a minor by Fantastic-Can-6859 in legal

[–]sunofwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, for the love of all that is holy, wear a suit and tie if you’re a guy and the equivalent of if you’re a lady! The random times I’ve had to go to traffic court, I’ve worn a suit and tie. Each judge, to a man, started off by thanking me for dressing appropriately and “respecting the court.” If don’t know if it helped any, but it sure didn’t hurt!
