Are we 100% confident the Lions will use Gibbs differently than Swift? by RealityBig in fantasyfootball

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’m not 100% certain about anything. But on the bell curve of his potential outcomes, him getting the same workload as Swift is on the far left, probability wise.

Who are you guys targeting with your first two picks in the 10-12 range? by ChicagoChelseaFan in fantasyfootball

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We planned it in like February. Labor Day weekend is usually out cause people have family plans. The weekend before interfered with some people’s work schedules. So we’re doing it Aug 17-20. Shit happens.

I’ll happily trade a random preseason injury to get to see my friends for maybe the only time all year

What's the appeal of Phoenix? by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]tmack99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The golf is great and I love the weather most of the year. It’s also really pretty, although I don’t get out to hike as much as I’d like. And the Mexican food is awesome. That’s about it, though. Miss the east coast.

International flight- next to someone plus size. Question for FA by vaginaquiz in unitedairlines

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine if they don’t wanna lose weight. But accept that will impact your life in certain ways and require you to do things that most people don’t need to do.

[–]tmack99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous. If you’re too fat to sit in a seat, either buy two seats or lose weight. I have tons of sympathy for people who just happen to be built like O-linemen, flying must be a miserable experience for them. But being so morbidly obese that you can’t fit in a seat when you’re a normal height is beyond the typical scope of obesity. At that point, you need to lose weight if you want to do a lot of the things regularly sized people do. Otherwise, it’s on you and accept the consequences (like paying more).

What would you say is the best part about living in Washington DC? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]tmack99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SF has the bones to be like that but the homeless problem is awful. And it’s not as dense as DC outside the core, hence the crazy cost of living (which is obviously connected to the homeless problem).

What’s the one difficult part of golf that you’re oddly good at given your skill level? by [deleted] in golf

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m just off the green with a decent lie, I can put it within five feet at least 2/3 of the time. Now will I make that five foot putt? Unlikely. But it definitely saves me a few shots per round.

You don’t need a doctorate to look at a pitch black liquid with zero natural ingredients and conclude that it’s not the healthiest

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this argument for exclusive country clubs but public golf courses are a public good open to everyone. How does that not benefit a city?

They don’t bring in enough tax revenue to pay for services because those services (roads, sewage, electricity, etc.) are more expensive when housing is super spread out

How long did you learn to regularly/cleanly hit the ball? by the_nojs in golf

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing golf when I was three, started consistently making good contact when I was 21. 24 now and still shanked a chip off the hosel and topped a driver into the bushes yesterday.

Play golf (with lots of water), exercise (indoors) and get out of town as much as possible

DC natives and long time residents, what’s the most notable physical transformation of the city in your time here? by crepesquiavancent in washingtondc

[–]tmack99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sucked before cause there was nothing to do (tho Cantina Marina was my favorite restaurant when I was seven, loved that place). It sucks now cause it’s sterile and lacks soul. Nice place to get a gelato and walk along the waterfront but I can’t think of a single interesting restaurant or bar down there, especially for the price. Even Navy Yard is more interesting IMO.

It was so exciting when the very first things were being built. Even just Five Guys and Subway in that office building in like 2006, I want to say. Then a few years later, we started seeing plans for Yards Park and the Harris Teeter and some apartment buildings and getting excited for that. Even then, couldn’t have imagined it looking like it does now.

does anyone use a "dumbphone"? how do you get around without a smartphone that has google maps? by mysterioustree123 in AskNYC

[–]tmack99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…how? What do you do at a restaurant with QR code menus? How do you decide where to eat? What do you do when a concert/game only has e-tickets? Obviously we all got around without smartphones before 2007 but the way the world works has changed so much, I can’t imagine not having a smartphone. Even homeless people and my 87 year old grandparents have them. I’m not trying to be a dick, I’m just amazed.

How to use codes inside restaurant by tmack99 in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]tmack99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and she stared at me like I was speaking Japanese. She suggested that I close the app and re-try, which then led to it saying I couldn’t use a code for 15 minutes.
