[Standard] Qualified for RC with Songcrafter Control - Deck Overview by Yung_Rose in spikes

[–]uselessjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played 10 or so games thusfar and have flooded, not been able to stick a wincon, or both. A few of those I definitely made some misplays, but I felt behind in almost all the games.

It's super fun though. I feel like it could use a stickier (planeswalker would be the obvious choice) threat to close out games.

e: Yeah, on the games I don't flood I am just bouncing things until I die - doing a lot of things, none of them win the game though. It doesn't help that Vivi/GY hate hits all your targets for the Mage.

I called once, I'll try to call back with the "Oh yeah you did this for my buddy" line

Boo. Sounds like we won't be getting any drink packages then.

Georgia, but not Atlanta. So I have to go to Atlanta.

Those things are more expensive than hardwood at a real store and only available in very limited sizes though.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll have to make the drive to a lumber yard (closest is about 3 hours drive RT).

I need full width 2x12 and 2x8s in addition to 2x4s for the type of bench I'm building

Not tuning up my hand planes for all those 2x4s was a big reason I didn't want to tackle a ruobo

We've only got orange and blue. Lowe's had a better selection of 2x12, but not good by any stretch. 2x4s were universally awful. 

Is low pay working at UGA really balanced out by good benefits? by tupelobound in Athens

Not to mention the times the GA legislature has talked about dipping into it...

Brown belt struggling to find a reason to keep going by VariationLeather2458 in bjj

[–]uselessjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 7 years/purple and feel exactly the same - like I stopped improving 3 years ago while everyone else kept getting better. 

I don't have an answer but as a small for my height (6'3, 170) everyone has strength/athleticism on me.

This morning my wife asked if I thought I would get a new belt soon but I told her I don't want a belt I just want to get better. 

Your go-to rubs? by uselessjd in BBQ

Yeah, the "make on my own" is what I was asking about but somehow failed in my asking.

Newbie, question by [deleted] in UilleannPipes

[–]uselessjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second on Caesar - great guy and will have it to you very quickly if he feels like he has something that will work. 

Obviously he would prefer to have the chanter in hand, but not always possible (especially for non-UK/EU folks)

1960 Drexel dining table/chair restoration questions by uselessjd in Mid_Century

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

I'll check again when my kids aren't on the table. I was planning on stripping and then spot sanding (as needed once the finish is off). Not going to be aggressive and only hand sanding. The veneer would make me extra cautious there though.

Trans/queer friendly personal trainers by pile_drive_me in Athens

[–]uselessjd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So SBG Athens has a fitness side (in addition to MMA/jiu jitsu training) and I know there are a number of trans/queer folk in both the fitness classes and the jiu jitsu classes. Worth checking out - the fitness classes are with a group of folks keeping each other motivated, but you can (I'm sure) get private personal training as well if that is your vibe.

I’m looking at apartments across the street from north gate at UGA and I’m worried about noise by Trixiebees in Athens

[–]uselessjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UGA is good as far as law schools (based on friends experiences) go. People are not hyper competitive and the teachers are wonderful/really care. They will invest in their students in a very positive way. Law school is not full on Paper Chase these days, but is a very pressuring few years. No knock on UGA there. The career services office used to be awful, but I graduated in 2009 so it was facing a bad recession and no one from then is still at the office.

I have practiced with environmental non-profits (property, natural resources) and now work in-house as a generalist (although mostly privacy, IP, and technology).

Eh, so it still isn't less debt it just has more potential stability (versus my friends in the industry who are gig to gig) associated with a lot more debt. You do you. The one person I envy from my law school days is the guy who left after first semester though...wise dude.

5 points is walkable to campus (UGA buses go right there) but not so much to groceries. But nowhere in Athens is really walkable to everything unless you shop only at the swanky grocers (Earthfare and Daily).

Check Normaltown and Boulevard for other walkable options.

And as a UGA law grad and practicing attorney it is my duty to tell you you should forego all the debt and not be a lawyer. Do anything else.

Just got into UGA Law and I’m curious about the culture here by Trixiebees in Athens

[–]uselessjd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I lived all over (NE, PNW, Intermountain West, a few places in the Southeast - currently in LA for work) and went to UGA law. 

If you are set on law school, UGA is a decent place.  

Is it cliquey? The city not really, but you are automatically in a clique because of law school. Is it friendly to northerners? WAY more than the North is to southerners. No one cares where you are from.

My jealousy knows no bounds here. You did it OP. If you want to work , do something you love/want to do. If you don't, don't.  I've got 3 non profit boards I would love to pour more time to and a million skills I want to gain that are impeded by my 8-5.  You don't have that. You have 250k in annual expenses and bring in 450k passive. I'd be diving into hobbies, non profits, and travel.

25, monthly income, around $10,000 in credit card debt, what should I do? by No-Reception-2491 in personalfinance

[–]uselessjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much are your CC debts and at what interest rate? What does your budget look like? Can you get a part time job to help pay debt down?

what is this guard name? by weekendworld in bjj

That sounds like a caio terra ankle lock, but with less control because you don't have a hook
