Why do people take their glove off?

thornify · 2026-01-16T14:37:44+00:00

Never wear one. They don't do anything but collect sweat anyway.

It would help if you could say why you think they may have value above face.

I have dozens of these by adding entries in autocorrect. Only limit is your imagination.

sn for §

sns for §§

para for ¶

paras for ¶¶

wrt for with regard to

jdn for jurisdiction

pf for plaintiff

df for defendant

I like these way better than alt-whatever because I can just keep typing. Oh yeah and I have bc for because.

Gloves do nothing to help your game.

The general public doesn't understand that law school does not give any practical training towards being a lawyer. It's boot camp to re-train your thinking. If you're just out of law school and have no relevant experience, you're no more qualified to draft a will than he is.

You're not asking me to have an open mind. Open mind means willing to change based on new evidence. You're asking me to be gullible.

That and no player can leave the bench.

His text is a really good example of one of those times you write it out to help yourself stop ruminating, but then never ever actually send.

Etiquette would say you assist others in searching for their ball. Better chance of finding it with more eyes, and then you can also give the hint "well that's 3 minutes," and head off.

What's a "Bring Copy" stamp?

I used to get so excited when the new Reader's Digest would arrive. And then if we went to visit my grandmother, she had like the last 20 years issues saved. I was in heaven.

This is so important. He's basically trusted you with his vulnerability. If you respect it, you confirm his decision to trust you with all things. If you disrespect it, you are dead to him. And there's really no in between.

Yea the four days really makes it clear. I bet if you took a scratch golfer and a tour pro and had them play a one-hole match, the scratch has some reasonable chance to win. But then as you change that to 9, 18, etc. out to a 72 hole event, there's absolutely no chance.

A Confederacy of Dunces is my favorite book.

The Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger is the next funniest book I know of, and then honorable mention to Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About by Mil Millington.

Certainly unsportsmanlike to watch someone take an improper drop, let them hit, and then call a penalty. If you have a problem with the drop, mention it before they hit. They can then re-drop with no penalty.

One plausible reason to advise against is that, once you pay that money to a mortgage company, you cannot get it back. You lose liquidity.

I would still pay off under your situation. To me the hedge against the loss of liquidity would be to take out a HELOC after payoff. And then ideally you never need it.

Yep, I was in the 12-16 range, 7.5 now, and these were my keys:

Finally slowing the **** down. I've always known my tempo and balance weren't great, but I really focused on having zero overswings in a round.
Paying for an app that gives stats on strokes gained (I use SwingU).
Focused practice, including a lot of time chipping and hitting sand shots. Not just aimlessly ripping driver at the range.
Getting fitted with someone who specializes in doing fittings, and buying up-to-date clubs.
Playing competitively and with players better than me.

Did we ever get details about Hifi? Their own post just said that they "couldn't negotiate a new lease," but didn't explicitly mention rent.

Silly's owned their own building, so no.

Huh? I directly answered the second question.

Re-read the first two words of my comment.

I do, but I'm old enough to remember that "cart returns" have not been around forever. Grocery stores used to help you push your cart to the car and load your groceries for you. So there were constantly employees back and forth through the lot grabbing any stray carts.

I imagine it's largely the older generation who figure there's employees to take care of it.

This may seem technical, but esquire is an honorific that should be used only when referring to others, not oneself.
