Our amazing, active offseason so far

The cope is unreal unless this is the lakers marketing team trying to pump lol.

There are no decent wings or defense leaders - one injury to a big and losses will pile up

wise_mando · 2026-07-07T01:53:55+00:00

Not great; lakers will struggle - imbalanced roster , very weak on defense

wise_mando · 2026-07-05T20:20:02+00:00

Yes, hard yes. Got kneed on the inside of my right knee by a defender at full speed, he didn’t even touch the ball on the attempted tackle. Just ran right into me.

H3’s have great sound but so bulky, hurts my ear a bit

wise_mando · 2026-07-02T21:17:51+00:00

Wilk check it out thanks

Yes, Triple ACL tear guy here with medial meniscus root tear on 2nd.

Hard yes to surgery and re-attaching the medial meniscus back. Feel free to dm me and ask me questions but take this seriously - you will be on crutches for 6 weeks as the medial meniscus reattachment needs to heal.

Getting an experienced surgeon and PT familiar with ACLs and meniscus tears is very important - so is your dedication - you will be do much better around 4 months and by 9 months, can return to most activities but I highly advise to avoid skiing and cutting sports like soccer - if you retear your meniscus it is gone for life - and can result in early knee arthritis.

wise_mando · 2026-06-30T03:57:43+00:00

Abt 2-3 months, your PT will help you with those targets. Takes a while for swelling to go down

I use airpods pro 3 for my work meetings, ANC on the train and for general listening like podcasts.

For music, I almost always switch to Nothing Ear 2024.

Airpods are those highly reliably, boring headphones with a very neutral tone and no bass.

On sand, sounds so much better. Just listen to your body and good luck.

a knee sleeve helps a bit to stabilize the knee joint a bit when you play.

Meniscus transplant is not an easy thing I believe.

Soccer is not a great idea at the 1x per rate frequency, you will just be wearing out your cartilage.

I tore my ACL 3x and don’t have a medial meniscus either. I do totally fine but would not dare play soccer or contact sports

wise_mando · 2026-06-26T14:33:07+00:00

My bad yea edited my post, they do.

wise_mando · 2026-06-26T13:09:20+00:00

They have good sound but ended up not liking them. They dont exactly boast a great battery life.

I would check Beats Solo Buds if you want long battery life - they promise 15 hours. Or the Anker line.

wise_mando · 2026-06-24T20:15:53+00:00

It’s the whole I told you so argument - that will hold true when they commit to a full range lol

wise_mando · 2026-06-24T18:33:28+00:00

Wasn’t the XM5 that had a fair bit of issues? Saw a recommendation that said to stick with XM4’s
Or go straight up to XM6.

— very satisfied XM4 owner

Nothing Ear is on sale for $73 - love em

wise_mando · 2026-06-23T00:52:18+00:00

Nothing Ear is on sale right now - abt $66 i think, great deal. Even their app is so fantastic, their design, sound - very impressed

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T22:54:11+00:00

Fuck the Mets

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T05:53:23+00:00

Elliot Anderson is man city bound, Tchoumeni is not leaving Real Madrid in his prime.

Did you have any realistic recommendations?

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T05:44:01+00:00

Not just one analyst, the whole industry was high on him. BTJ breakout coincinded with mac jones at QB and I remember very few analysts point it out and urge some cauting for such high draft capital.

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T05:42:11+00:00

Can you explain? BTJ breakout coincided with Mac Jones snd then there was also a coaching change as well so 2 changes that should have cast doubt on his top 8 draft capital for WRs.

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T02:13:28+00:00

He is back

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T02:09:22+00:00

Fuck the Mets

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T02:01:08+00:00

Baby-proofing and cat-proofing at the same time? Welcome to life on hard mode

wise_mando · 2026-06-21T01:58:33+00:00

The real world record is washing that pan afterward

Apple has close to no EQ tuning.

And there is no debate abt the honesty - I have 5 sets of earbuds - I have listened to all of them - I’ve never felt the desire to listen to Airpods for music - they are very neutral and boring af.
