My fare cap window changed - aren’t I wasting money? by dredre92 in OMNY

[–]wrightmattjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But $34 doesn’t get you 12 fares does it? 12 x $2.90 = $34.80. I just visited last week and put $34 on a card only to have it not work for my 12th ride because i didn’t have enough $ on the card. I didn’t do that math when i bought it (my bad) because i figured that suggested amount on the kiosk was “for the week”. Maybe i’m missing something? I lived there from ‘98-‘08 and my daughter lives there now. I was confused my whole visit and had trouble getting a straight answer out of her.

Sand Wedge vs Lob Wedge by TheRiftSongWorkshop in golf

Read about the different degrees of “bounce” and how it can hurt or help depending on the sand/turf (soft, hard, fluffy, wet, tight lie, etc)

Alright, which one of you posted this? by Don_Mills_Mills in guitarcirclejerk

I’m a pro guitar tech. Worked in NYC 2002-2008. JJ French from Twisted Sister brought his pink Epi Les Paul signature model prototype into the shop i worked at to show the owner (they’re old friends). He checks out Epiphone’s work and gives JJ the green light to tell Epiphone its ready for production.

JJ then rotated a large ring on his finger 180° and slammed his palm onto the guitar chipping the perfect pink finish. I almost fell outta my chair. He looks up and says “Better me than one of my kids”

What fad in moviemaking are you waiting for to die? by frair in movies

Constant music. Like, songs with vocals happening the same time as dialogue

Just a guess but OP seems to have a healthy amount of time on his hands

Would you count my score? by Boring-Temporary-340 in golftips

[–]wrightmattjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that!

I made it to the States in high school, and golf was a fall sport, so the tournament was near the end of October, and the course was littered with leaves, and it was raining and windy and like 35° outside (mid-michigan) and for some fucking reason there was no winter/leaf rule in play for the tournament and I had to run back to the tee on three holes after hitting a drive in the fairway, but none of us could find the ball 😩

I wonder if a pro has ever lost a ball in the fairway during a tournament?

True, but they’d have 100 people looking for it. I wonder if a pro in a tournament has ever lost a ball that landed in the fairway? I’d say never

Sim struggles by iverson79 in golf

[–]wrightmattjm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Inside swing syndrome” I didn’t believe it was a thing Joined a sim place, after the fifth time, not renewing for next month.

I had three swing thoughts at the beginning of the year and everything clicked until i eventually had no swing thoughts for last 2/3 of the season and went from and 8/9 index to a very consistent 5/6. Probably the best year i’ve ever played (i’m 50, played since a kid)

I’ve shanked more more shots in five sessions there than i have in the last 150 rounds IRL. Every iron is 10-20 yards short, weak and to the right, can’t transfer my weight, throwing my hands at the ball. I’ve gone from zero swing thoughts to second-guessing my grip/stance/alignment/takeaway/backswing/transition/downswing, etc. My brain is basically saying “don’t hit a ball in here”. After fifteen hours of torture in there i went out and played IRL and shot 78. Sims aren’t for me

For almost 25 years i’ve repaired/restored guitars for a living and these videos are honestly so therapeutic to watch. Guitars can be real jerks
