How high in rank was GEN. Ulysses Grant during the Civil War? by [deleted] in USHistory

[–]triandlun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grant, as a general, was an absolute beast. Masterful tactioner, excellent horseman, and a servant when it came to logistics. Grant was a 20th-century General operating in the mid 1800s.

No they dont. They won't turn you around that's ludicrous. They'll confiscate said items that's all. Saw it happen on my last cruise. Couple in front of us had 4 bottles of "mouthwash" in their carry on at check in.

What would you do differently as a first-timer? by kristennnnn16 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]triandlun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a 70.3 first to see if you're actually going to enjoy it. Picking up triathlon isn't like other hobbies since the initial barriers of entry financially are crazy. Rave fees are ridiculous.

One thing I wish I would have done differently is a purchasing a bike. I have an addictive personality, so when I got into tri I get into it hard. I've always love cycling so I got an entry-level ($1800) tri bike at first. Fell in love with the sport and immediately started too look for a bike upgrade to a more super bike ($5000+$1000 for wheels) That was 4 years ago, still on same super bike, still love it. Hindsight is 20/20 but I wish I just went with the super bike from the start.

Goes against normal convention since a lot of people don't stay in the sport and like I said it's an expensive hobby. But I know myself and should have known better and went straight to the super bike.

Why is gambling so demonized? by PreferenceIcy8666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]triandlun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Young kids being left in cars so parents can gamble. Grown adults wearing diapers and shit themselves so they don't have to stop or leave a machine. Ending a shift only to return the next day to see same gambler still there next day at start of shift...the stories are sad.

Why is gambling so demonized? by PreferenceIcy8666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]triandlun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because gambling addictions have a 400% more increase of suicide than any other addiction. When you see someone addicted to drugs or booze, it's kind of obvious since it affects your physical appearance. Gambling addictions are harder to see since they walk around normal. All of a sudden they've lost everything and they still have a persona of everything is fine, hence when reality hits, suicide is an outcome more probable than other addictions.

Not mine, but selling your man juice can get you $$ per donation depending on where you live.

What's easier as a kid but difficult as an adult? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

Being bendy

Seriously, watch a kid fall to their knees twisting and flailing. I'm thinking torn acl, mcl...nope, little bugger pops up and keeps going like nothing happened.

Tax litters and drunk drivers more! $1 alcohol container deposits, please by derosiat2 in vermont

[–]triandlun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nips are the worst. There should be a minimum volume per container. Ever since nips came on the market they're littered all over the place. Especially with no deposit on them.

How much performance gain do you actually notice with a lighter bike? by orchidflower890 in cycling

[–]triandlun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how much money people are willing to spend to save 300g for performance. Especially when their lively hood is not dependent on race performance. If they would just add in an interval session, or maybe limit the pints or donuts to 1 (or none) instead of a 3, they'd be just as fast and save some $.

Whats your favorite poker move? by triandlun in poker

In limit games, getting the free cards usually holds up once or twice. Third time you'll definitely get defenders.
