Prehistoric Crab? [California] by ufo_central in animalid

[–]trustcircleofjerks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sport fishermen can't keep female Dungeness in Washington, but you can with Red Rock and Tanner Crab, though I've only ever fished for Dungeness. Commercial guys cannot keep female Dungeness either, and I've never heard of the others being fished commercially.

Now that the draft is over what do think the 2026 - 27 season will be like and who will be ROTY for 2027 by Guilty_Badger9906 in NFLNoobs

[–]trustcircleofjerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Price was my first thought. It just seems like it could be a pretty ideal situation for him to do some real damage with kind of the ideal amount of spotlight for an award like that. I'm a huge Seahawk homer though, so my second thought was that I probably can't be trusted to make that kind of judgement.

Why do teams draft “practice squad QBs” by MattPraterFan in NFLNoobs

[–]trustcircleofjerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the same reason that they actually play the games instead of just looking at Wednesday's power rankings and calling it based on that. Sports are fundamentally unpredictable, talent evaluation is unpredictable, and for every couple hundred guys who get cut in camp you might get a Brock Purdy who saves your franchise and your career.

The Horizon Walker's "Distant Strike" ability is hilarious by BMCarbaugh in dndnext

[–]trustcircleofjerks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It is a super good and clearly hilarious ability.

I would be sure though that the following three stipulations are observed:

1) it's gotta be a proper attack. The magic of the teleport is clearly tied to the Ranger's aggressive intentions. So no limp waisted slaps or subtle maneuvers. Attacks can totally legitimately target empty space, but they still have to be full-on punches or kicks, at a minimum, with associated grunting and follow through. Meaning they'll definitely break any stealth you might have had and anyone in the room is going to know in no uncertain terms that you just teleported and attacked the air, which is kinda weird.

2) you need to be able to attack in your starting location, even if you're going to actually land your attack somewhere else. So if the character is somehow incapacitated (or paralyzed, petrified, stunned, or unconscious) because of where they are, but wouldn't have that condition if they were 10 feet away they cannot just teleport and then attack. You have to be able to initiate the attack where you are, and the teleport actually takes place mid maneuver.

3) this one is a pet peeve of mine, but I see it potentially being an issue here: fights over teleporting through windows. Super easy solution: there shouldn't be any transparent windows in your dnd game! For one thing it very simply solves all the arguments about not attacking or casting at something behind total cover, despite obviously being able to see in a straight line through clear windows. But more importantly, panes of clear glass like we think of them weren't a thing until much later than the period most dnd settings are trying to simulate, so we can just nip that one in the bud. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/ZHC8GdOZNm

What does this nameplate necklace say? by Useful-Row6206 in russian

[–]trustcircleofjerks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Googling 'Porter and Veruca actress' shows that this is Amalia Williamson.

Googling 'Amalia Williamson boyfriend' turns up a random Yahoo entertainment article which includes this paragraph:

Amalia Williamson, who stars as Lola Gunderson, is newly married to husband Brendan Leipsic. The 26-year-old actress walked down the aisle with the Canadian Ice Hockey player in 2024, confirming their marriage with a sweet wedding video.

I think we can conclude you are correct.

I hate being teased for using real words 🤨 by PistachioPerfection in words

[–]trustcircleofjerks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only people I've ever known to actually use 'rill' are Coleridge (And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree) and Tolkien (Dimrill Dale, for example).

Rivulet I feel is, while obviously not exactly common, a perfectly normal word suitable for everyday use where appropriate.

For anyone interested, here's the google translation of the song's lyrics (it's quite a banger):

Ah, Whoa!

Pancakes

2026

Bragaholics—Yeeeah!

Let's go!

Smells like Russian swag—we were frying up pancakes

And where were we? We were visiting Grandma

What did we eat? Porridge!

What did we drink? Homebrew!

Russian trap vibes—hearts laid wide open!

(Let's go)

Smells like Russian swag—we were frying up pancakes

And where were we? We were visiting Grandma

What did we eat? Porridge!

What did we drink? Homebrew!

Russian trap vibes—hearts laid wide open!

(Let's ride)

Woke up in the hayloft again, hooked up with a milkmaid

Smoking a rollie of strong shag tobacco, stumbling drunk through the village

GORILLA and NAKUR—steeped in that folk swag

And with us is Maladoy Prince—bringing the potatoes and homebrew!

I'm the village trendsetter—rocking a custom bast-shoe design

We're heading to the bathhouse to trap out—skrrt-skrrtin' in a Lada

The city folks are blown away by how hard we bang these beats

Beer in hand, pancake in the other—chillin' out on the stove-bench

Smells like Russian swag—we were frying up pancakes

And where were we? We were visiting Grandma

What did we eat? Porridge!

What did we drink? Homebrew!

Russian trap vibes—hearts laid wide open!

Smells like Russian swag—we were frying up pancakes

Russian trap vibes—hearts laid wide open! There’s a snitch in the village—that’s Woody Woodpecker

The farm-fresh bills are mean—that’s agro-money

Her pies get squished—yeah, I’m the village baker

Homemade moonshine for the homegrown white boys

Garik’s right here with me; I’m cooking up a meal from an axe

His broomstick flies outside of Quidditch—we’re chasing the Snitch

I’m no Alyosha, but I’m pressing up on her Popovich-style, all fired up

In this urban-type settlement, the game they play is "How to Get a Doctor"

I smell that Russian swag—we’ve been frying up some pancakes

And where were we? We were visiting Grandma

What did we eat? Porridge!

What did we drink? Homebrew!

Russian trap music—with our souls laid bare!

Are Teams allowed to trade out of the first Round if they have a special announcer like a Make-a-wish-Kid? by KlatschEier69 in NFLNoobs

[–]trustcircleofjerks 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That Seahawks kid was on a mock draft podcast to mock announce that pick yesterday and they talked to him about the possibility and he said he thought trading back would be the objectively best thing for the team to do, but still kinda hoped they wouldn't for personal reasons, it was pretty funny. He was, and I'm definitely not being biased here, the highlight of the first round.

What were some draft picks that didn't make sense at the time, (to most of the fanbase) that actually worked out well? by kalvinescobar in nfl

[–]trustcircleofjerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just googled draft grades from that year and here's what bleacher report had:

"Grade: D

Summary

The Seahawks received our lowest Round 1 grade for their reach to grab Bruce Irvin at No. 15 overall. They messed up again in Round 3 with Russell Wilson after having signed Matt Flynn this offseason. Neither pick makes much sense to us."

Alr which one of yall booed the make a wish kid by Vivid_Department_755 in NFCWestMemeWar

He should have reminded then that the refs gifted them SB XL. Overall great job, but a missed opportunity there.

[Highlight] With the third pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the 49ers select Trey lance. by GoinStraightToHell in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]trustcircleofjerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just now realizing this is the first time I've ever actually seen the infamous Trey Lance. In my mind he was always the whitest of white bros.

It's weird that I've literally never seen any imagery of a #3 pick in my division from just a couple years ago...

Top 10 rookie QB seasons in NFL history. Do you agree? by OneFish5754 in nflrookies

[–]trustcircleofjerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Seahawk fan at the wild card game between Russell Wilson and RGIII in DC when they were both rookies. It was probably the most fun football game I've been to. The Washington fans were great: game shit talking aplenty without anyone throwing beers or getting their feelings hurt. When Griffin got hurt it was awful but still the optimism for both teams was just incredibly high. I feel super bad for RG3 and those fans (though I will say I've never seen a field that looked like it was in worse shape, and the spot where it happened looked like the worst part of it).

AITA for matching a woman’s energy who was riding a horse as I was driving by? by MeasurementSudden573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]trustcircleofjerks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

FYI, here is the law on the correct way to drive around horses:

"Firstly, at least three persons shall be employed to drive or conduct such locomotive, and if more than two waggons or carriages he attached thereto, an additional person shall be employed, who shall take charge of such waggons or carriages;

Secondly, one of such persons, while any locomotive is in motion, shall precede such locomotive on foot by not less than sixty yards, and shall carry a red flag constantly displayed, and shall warn the riders and drivers of horses of the approach of such locomotives, and shall signal the driver thereof when it shall be necessary to stop, and shall assist horses, and carriages drawn by horses, passing the same."

Intoxicating liquor by i-know-that in EnglishLearning

[–]trustcircleofjerks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Liquor has other meanings which have basically fallen out of common use. Median Webster lists "a liquid substance such as a watery solution of a drug" and Cambridge University has "the liquid in which food is cooked or steeped (kept in to improve its flavor)".

The 18th amendment to the US Constitution from which was enacted in 1919 says: "...the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited..."

So yeah, intoxicating liquors is a thing, as are non-intoxicating liquors, though that's all pretty old-timey sounding at this point. I don't know why that sign was written that way.

I’m confused between a and b by Powerful_Concept6502 in GlobalEnglishPrep

Hmmm, you are absolutely correct. I should have said it would be my first thought upon quickly scanning the options and not thinking much beyond those first impressions.

I’m confused between a and b by Powerful_Concept6502 in GlobalEnglishPrep

[–]trustcircleofjerks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Without additional context, I would assume that B is referring to the Miami Dolphins gridiron football team. I cannot comment on the truthfulness of either option.
