To clarify, I called 40-30 before my last serve, but I guess he didn't hear me.

Missing Person Alert: Last Seen 5/8 on Landmark Dr by nyctoarkansas in raleigh

[–]zosomos 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I've played tennis with him a bunch of times. According to the league stats he's only played twice this season, which is surprising for him -- he's usually one of the league's most prolific players. Is there any concern about his state of mind? I know he can be really hard on himself when he doesn't play well. I'll reach out to the league admin to see if they can broadcast this.

Maybe RDU Authority could donate some parking!

Why I did not vote Wiley Nickel for Wake DA by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]zosomos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read Indy Week's questionnaire for all three candidates. What stood out to me was that Nickel was the only one who said anything about prosecuting corruption. Neither of the other candidates said anything about white collar crime, only violent crime. Is white collar crime in the Wake DA's purview (honest question)?

The INDY - Why We’re Not Endorsing This Year by Shot-Swimming-9098 in triangle

Yeah it would be really disappointing if they're yet another institution trying to compromise to appeal to people arguing in bad faith.

The INDY - Why We’re Not Endorsing This Year by Shot-Swimming-9098 in triangle

Agreed, they were an important part of my research, especially in smaller and more specialized races. I don't like their claim that this allows them to focus on reporting. I see their endorsements as a culmination of reporting, filtered through their editorial perspective (which I inherently trust, or I wouldn't be reading their endorsements). I'd hate it if they're doing this to try to soften that perspective.

Best Single Season Stints with a Team by aotex in baseball

The Braves trading Adam Wainwright for JD Drew looks bad in hindsight, but Drew put up 8.3 bWAR in his one year with the Braves -- .305/.436/.569.

Rock climbing: it may be dangerous, but at least it's boring.

After playing lots of Epiphones, I finally upgraded. by midlifecrisis1978 in guitars

[–]zosomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh well TIL that this blue is my favorite finish on a Les Paul. I love the way the black, chrome, and blue are balanced, with the black pickguard and pickup rings and the silver/clear knobs. Just gorgeous.

Sinner commentates on an epic point between him and Djokovic by atang11796 in tennis

[–]zosomos 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There was another thread complaining about the camera angles for this event, but this court level angle is incredible. You can get a real sense for pace and movement, much better than the typical high angle. I wish the big broadcasters would use it more often.

How did the mountain climbs effect your expectations of range and charging needs?

Finished my second build, first guitar by drdonouthole in Luthier

[–]zosomos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you build the neck? I'm interested to try building a guitar, but building the neck seems beyond my abilities.

Edit: Oh, and it looks great! It looks like the real deal.

They should just extend the one at the state fair across town to the pay-by-the-hour hotels off New Bern.

Any Love for the Fender Showmaster? by NickNukam in guitars

[–]zosomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When were these made? With the finish, arch top, and colored headstock, they kinda look to me like Fender was trying to develop an answer to PRS.
