  1. She was asked to leave class. One class. For one day. And for good reason as at the core of it, she was interrupting the learning of other students. And now you want to take away the professor's job? Fuck this shit. Fuck this place. Edit: They are removing the professor b/c she didn't follow the course syllabus to a T (b/c surely all courses follow their syllabus like a how to manual). But that's not even what the Karen Aggy was complaining about! I highly doubt she even read the syllabus. Again... Fuck this shit. Fuck this place.
  2. Since I know you live in my neck of the woods, Saffron on Far West is run by a Nepalese family and has some Nepalese dishes on the menu. Their Indian food is also really damn good.
  3. So, to clarify, your stance is that transgender people don't exist?
  4. Is there a joke I'm missing? Why would you have anyone sign a picture of your family and not, ya know, a picture of themselves?
  5. I hate to fucking admit it... Max is so damn good. He might be goat good.
  6. Looks like there is padding underneath the turf - is that right? What kind did you use? I can't imagine ever getting a chip to hold that surface if it's straight turf on wood.
  7. If you watch short game chef, who teaches a lot of pros, three of his main teaching points are to do exactly what Mickelson is saying don't do. He prefers equal weight balance, ball between your feet always, and very little to no shaft lean. I subscribe to the short game chef method and pretty much never do anything Phil suggested unless it's some funky situation and that's probably one of the strongest aspects of my game. There are, despite Phil's opinion, multiple ways to chip and pitch. I think the key is to pick one that resonates for you and stick with it until it's fully engrained.
  8. He has a lot more records at least.
  9. Shit.... TIL you two are not the same person.
  10. We have an Aussie punter as the MVP - brings back memories.
  11. Can almost guarantee it's something small. At a 1-2, you're damn good at repeating the same thing over and over but I'm sure like all of us, your tendencies are drifting slowly. Something has drifted just into shanksville and since you're so good at repetition, you're stuck on the shanks. When I get too toe-y or heely, I just adjust how close I'm standing to the ball. It helps in two ways - physically moves the club to adjust for the miss and allows you more room to come from the inside (if you're heel-y) or "outside" (if you're toe-y).
  12. Was that a question for me? If so, mix of clear and knotty alder, mostly clear.
  13. Latest furniture build - a record console. Alder finished with Rubio Monocoat Midnight Sky and brass accents. Dog butt pic for scale (also a previous dining room project in the background).
  14. It's so frustrating. You mess up epically once or twice and then you just feel like you have to hit the reset button. But the truth is a half a degree here or there and that's the only difference between a complete shit show and some real decent golf. Literally. A half of a degree. I bought a simulator (a good one that tracks, plots, and gives you all the stats) and that's what it took for me to take it easy on myself and stop panicking - my good swings vs my "oh my god the world is ending" swings was so minute. Take a gummy. Chill.
  15. You get these stair steps in ability in golf in all facets of the game - tee, approach, short game, putting. And then it goes away for a week, you panic, over correct, and you're back to square one. Welcome to your new hell. Eventually, you develop a core feeling that you can always fall back on. That helps to reduce those over corrections and you start to see real progress and consistency. That was the big hurdle to get me from 12-15 to 5-7.
  16. Ghislaine opinion on "inappropriate" and "unconsenual" is a little different than the rest of ours.
  17. Help me out here... I have 5 independent normal distributions X1 thru X5 with differing means and stddev. I'd like to compute the probability that a random variable from X1 is greater than a random variable picked from X2 thru X5. Here's how far I've gotten. I basically have to figure out the P(X1 > X2) and P(X1 > X3) and P(X1 > X4) and P(X1 > X5). I can compute those independently fairly easily. P(X1 > X2) is the CDF of a normal at 0 with mean equal to the difference of means and stddev equal to the square of the sum of the squares of the stddevs. Rinse and repeat for the other 3 probabilities. So I have those 4 probabilities that X1 beats the other 4 but then I'm stuck. The distributions are no longer independent (they all depend on X1) so I can't just multiply the probabilities together. What's the next step? My initial thought was just multiply them together and scale them so the sum of the probabilities equals one and that's a "good enough" answer but if I can get this exactly right, that would be super.
  18. 60 and 50 for me - depending on how much height and how much spin I need. Same chipping motion for both. My only swing thought for chipping these days is "accelerate".
  19. 3-5i are my get out of jail clubs beyond just being the right stick for certain stock yardages. They are easier to force a hook or a slice with and easy to keep low out of the trees vs a 6 or 7. Now if the question is do I go 3-5h instead of 3-5i, that's a more interesting question imo. But for me, I'd rather drop my woods than my 3-5i. Regarding your equipment - it's not the head that you're feeling a difference in, it's the shaft (har har). Shaft is 90% of the club.
  20. JJ Spaun is our 2nd best player. We're going to get rolled.
  21. Yes, aging affects people. That's not the argument you made. Great catch, they weren't in the same car. How did I miss that? But those cars they were in were plenty fast.
  22. Signed, Nico. And Max. And Vettel. What a dumb hot take.
  23. We have a pretty active annual thread for this: https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/39920-2025-golf-i-dont-think-the-heavy-stuffs-gonna-come-down-for-quite-a-while/page/5/#comment-7230901
  24. You literally posted the same data as JJ except truncated by 2 years to fit your narrative. If there ever was a perfect microcosm of the perils of having all this info at anyone's fingertips, this is it. People are fucking lazy.
