  1. I'm going to give you props for posting this - it's a vulnerable thing to do, especially in this crowd. I'm also going to give you credit for, at least in the span of a 5 sentence post, appearing to be Christian as was intended from the jump, not the modern "use religion as an excuse for your behavior" Christian. I think (hope) you're bothered by what is being done in "the name of Christ" by our current ruling party and how that ties back with the Christianity you want to practice. If so, you more than any of us in this forum are the key to righting this ship. Most of us here have been on the left, will stay on the left, and won't shift any tides. We need people like you to enact change. Basically, we're all counting on you. Don't fuck it up.
  2. There will be a comeuppance - history says this shit always ends with a comeuppance. Slavery, Nazis, Stalin, the French about 20 different times... I'm afraid of how much shit will happen between now and then.
  3. That was fucking cool
  4. Mud makes a HUGE difference. Even for amateurs. But that's not the point - he was frustrated he got two mud balls that tend to happen on two holes and he was voicing his frustration. End of story. I get it's fashionable to rag on his antics but this is a nothing burger. Let's not forget Rory stormed off after blowing the US open and most hailed that as being honest and human. And for the record, I don't really give two shits about that either.
  5. So.... What did he say that was wrong? Mud balls suck. And it's taboo to criticize anything about Augusta as a golfer. Both correct. He's expressing frustration, which he has done in the public eye literally his entire career. None of this is shocking. It is who he is and has been his entire career, majors or not.
  6. Is she modeling men's clothing? Those are the most unflattering jeans since those giant baggy ones the skaters wore (Jenga or some shit?).
  7. As a bit of bandaid, try to address the ball with more weight on your front foot and keep it there on the backswing. This should help you get your weight in the right spot at impact and move the impact point up a bit so you're hitting ball first (no promises on where it goes next). Have you tried putting a ball behind your clubhead at address and trying to push that ball slowly as far back and straight down the line as you can during your takeaway? Classic training trick that helped me shallow out way back when. If you do that trick and still are coming down steeply, then you're likely mega casting at the top of your swing.
  8. Everyone just shooting from their hips and not doing their homework. Data is good (look at the SG charts and click around on the various SG sub cats): https://datagolf.com/player-profiles?dg_id=14636
  9. Just ordered some woodworking tools from Japan and they should be delivered today. No tariffs collected from me thus far. A few years back, I recall having to pay a tariff on some camera gear before they'd release the shipment for delivery so I'm hoping I escaped this time.
  10. I mean, no real danger with these guys. You or I, yeah, grandma is fucked.
  11. I think that's either 4 or 6 where it's an elevated tee shot par 3 and the patrons are sitting below the tee box. No real danger, even with a thinny shot.
  12. She was hit with a wave of shyness from all the cheering. My little one reacts the same. Don't think it's "odd", at least I hope not.
  13. Dude... Maybe it's not Dems. Maybe it's just we have an ignorant voter base that can't be convinced they were wrong. Surely you can understand that. Quit going out of your way to blame the wrong thing. The wrong thing here is the Republican party in its fantasy brand creation, hate spewing, bullshit argument orating culture that you can't attack back because it's all ghost and there is no actual substance to attack. THATS the fucking problem and the more you (and others like you) chose to ignore the disease and instead focus on the symptom (oh the Democrats do this and do that), the closer we all get to our national death bed.
  14. That's the literal definition of how you would go about eliminating a trade deficit. But that's not really the narrative here - it's Bibi doing to Trump what Trump does all the time. Just lie through your teeth, get what you want (acclaim, kudos, and reelection), and wait for someone with appropriate power to call you out on it (they won't or they don't exist so it doesn't matter).
  15. I do believe the idiots when they say "this isn't what we voted for", that they were truly duped by someone as intellectually equipped as Trump, that they had selective hearing and didn't pick up on what the exact details of his plan were going to be all along. That does make me feel worse that people that stupid make up the majority of our voting age adults.
  16. Live snapshot of what's about to hit our shores when we wake up (but probably worse since this shit is our fault):
  17. We have until my parents and my wife's parents pass (which, sadly, is not as long as I'd hope). If we're not a competent country again (MACA) by then, we're out. I refuse to be a citizen of the next Russia.
  18. For a bathroom, it's probably fine assuming you use a good primer and top coat. @harpercollins Are your cabinets plywood and not solid wood? "Stain grade" is a wide range. Good ply is stain grade, for example. Heck, for some, shitty ply is stain grade so long as it has some grain and a smooth finish.
  19. Are you and Satya the same person?
  20. This guy is bad ass but his content is light: https://www.youtube.com/c/PedullaStudio
  21. Except that's clearly false and we're only 2 races in.
  22. There are less douchy ways to respond. Way less. "It's a great seat, everyone wants it and claims to be ready. I've got to do better to keep it."
  23. For those in Austin looking to get into woodworking or expand their shop, check out Assmbly - it's a hacker space and they have some kick ass tools. 12" Laguna jointer, 15" powermatic planer, 2 sawzstop, a resaw, 3 band saws, drum sander, huge CNCs, etc etc... It's a bit of a process to get access but it only costs $100/month. I just went this weekend for my first squaring sessions and was able to square up a decent amount of maple in just over an hour. Using my own jointer, planer, and table saw, that would have taken 3 hours plus with all the setup time and just the inefficiency of my tools vs there's. Highly recommend it - great for beginners (tons of lessons) and seasoned woodworkers. They also have a metal shop and other tools not related to woodworking as well. https://asmbly.org/space/woodshop/
  24. They're not wrong - Walnut is really pricey these days and yes, you can get something close to the look for cheaper. What you got was not that. I'd have gone alder plus a darker tone Rubio monocoat but with two coats. Alder won't have the lovely variation Walnut has but it takes stain wonderfully and Rubio is amazing. And alder is cheap (Rubio is not...).
  25. How do you grow if not through things like product or service? Ya, you can restructure debt or reduce opex... But that's a one time lever. And no one is going to pay a multiple on a one time lever.
