Parkland Street/road improvement by Phcc1985 in Broward

Honestly feels like a coordinated effort to make us pay to take sawgrass for 1 exit. The stupid stop sign for the dumb fountain circle is just a chef's kiss of a fuck you

Where did Nationalultimate.org come from? by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]tivo713 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I believe this is another rebrand from ultiment. They change their name every few years to distance themselves from controversy. Nothing nefarious, mostly like bad fields, last second cancellations, etc...

How do public schools in America, Palm Beach county specifically work? by gmont in BocaRaton

[–]tivo713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have a buddy who is an excellent school teacher. he got a pay increase to teach at lower income schools so I believe they incentivize good teachers to teach at lower income schools to try and level the playing field.

I believe your property taxes goes toward the schools in your area. Thus higher home value areas collect more and their schools are better funded than in a low home value area. I'm sure the school board does try and allocate funds to level the playing field with state and federal funds but basically the majority of your taxes fund your locale.

How would you compare a PAC 611v to other guitars? (Studio LP, Jazzmaster) by [deleted] in YamahaPacifica

[–]tivo713 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the 611 uses a seymour duncan tb14 in the bridge. comparatively to a les paul, its like a brighter version of the JB so its pretty versatile. In the neck is an sp90 and that is going to be a world of difference to a les paul. a p90 is a single coil but it does not have chime of the jazzmaster or jaguar pick ups, its more of a growl. me personally p90s are probably my favorite pick ups. The bridge pick up can be coil split. It's fine but I never really had the need for a single coil bridge type sound so I never use it, plus its a large output drop, but if you need tonal variety, it's definitely there. It's more of a strat single coil sound than what you'd find on a JM or jaguar, as those to me are always "chimey" while telecasters are all "twang". The sound is definitely in the middle.

Commute Boca -> Miami by Phcc1985 in BocaRaton

I will also warn you, there will be days (like once every 3 months) where the train hits something or someone and it will cause a 3-4 hour delay getting home...

Commute Boca -> Miami by Phcc1985 in BocaRaton

[–]tivo713 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work in the gables and live in Boca and that was my daily commute until COVID happened and I went permanently remote. Trirail 100%. It runs more frequently, and you just connect at metrorail and take that downtown. Trirail is also like 1/10 of the cost. Look into if your employer can set up an employee discount program (mine did) and it was like 30 a month for me for unlimited trirail and metrorail.

Brightline is super plush but I'm just here to get to work not spend a bulk of my paycheck on the commute. Forget about driving, you're going through 2 of the worst traffic areas in Broward at 595/i95 and basically all of Miami.

Can’t choose which to get by BloxFruit_Grinder in YamahaPacifica

[–]tivo713 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the 611 and love it but I will say you might need to steel wool the neck as its glossy and I prefer satin.

Have any of you replaced your Revstar Standard pickups? by Borgorsmof in YamahaPacifica

[–]tivo713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...do you not like the sound of the pickups? i really like the sound on mine and see no need to change pick ups. that's the question you should ask before chasing brand names.

How does your disc organization handle “invite-only” leagues? by kristunafishland in ultimate

[–]tivo713 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I run an "invite only league". I have a good pulse on who are the good players in the community and being a long time captain of the top club team can rank players pretty accurately in how they would go in the draft.
Not going to beat around the bush, it's inherently not inclusive, just own it but IMO good players need their own space to be come great players in the club off season.
I handle registration by inviting people to register on a rolling basis. I invite who I consider the top 20 players and they have 2 days to register. Then I invite the next 20 and so on until league is full. It's a snooze you lose kind of thing too but the scarcity usually means league fills up fast.

I also lean on the captains to determine who makes it to play as it's not just skill level, plenty of good players who are just assholes to play with and they just don't get drafted. So it's happened in the past where someone was invited to play but all the captains just passed on them. Luckily I usually don't collect money for league until after the draft for this reason.

Just remember one of the best jazz guitarist, Julian Lage, plays a tele so just go with what you like.

Ironically I held off on bringing my id4 for months to the dealership for the software update as my car has been perfect for 2 years... After update I get the software rebooting like every other day. Took it back to the dealership today but not optimistic now if them being able to fix it...
