@flowsdoc Terrible call. Runner slid as required. And instead of allowing his momentum to crush the 2nd baseman, he stopped short. 2nd is definitely at fault here

My JUCO coach had us throw sidearm to ensure the runner slides! What do you think about this play?

Amazon, UPS, FEDEX etc....get delivered to your door. This is just for our federal mail service called Canada Post (our version of USPS). Bigger packages get put into the larger compartments and they give you a key in your little mailbox so you can open the big one. When you're done you drop the key in the top slot at the top. That slot at the top is also how we mail things out

my accountant told me last month he has a client who writes off $8K/month in "coffee meetings" i asked how thats even possible "he buys coffee for strangers at the airport" this guy lives in nashville flies to a different city 3-4 times a month for "business development" sits in the airport lounge for 6 hours walks around and spots people who look like they run businesses "hey man heading to dallas too? can i buy you a coffee?" 15 minute conversation at the gate exchanges linkedin if theyre a good fit he follows up 2 days later: "good talking to you at the airport - saw on your profile youre in [industry]. we help companies like yours with [problem]. would it make sense to explore this?" conversion rate from coffee → booked call: 41% last year he closed $380K in revenue from airport conversations total cost: - flights: $46K (only books refundable tickets, cancels half of them) - coffees: $8,400 - lounge memberships: $1,200 total: $55,600 in expenses return: $379,000 6.7x ROI "why not just cold email or go to networking events" "networking events are full of people trying to sell. airports are full of people trying to get home. their guard is down. they have time to kill. a $6 coffee feels like hospitality not a pitch." he tracks every conversation in a notion database airport, persons name, company, flight number, what they ordered, topics discussed 217 coffees bought last year 89 turned into calls 14 turned into clients average deal size: $27K the IRS audited him in 2024 he showed them: - boarding passes - receipts with timestamps - linkedin messages matching the dates - closed deals traced back to specific airports they approved everything his biggest month was september sat in LaGuardia for 11 hours on a delayed flight bought coffee for 6 people 4 of them booked calls 2 closed for a combined $61K "that delayed flight made me more than most peoples salary" no ads no cold calls no website traffic no followers just a guy who realized business class lounges are full of his exact ICP and theyre all sitting there bored as hell with nothing to do most people avoid conversations at airports this guy built a $380K pipeline from them

Gonna start a campaign for the Canucks to change their goal song to Mr. Brightside by The Killers next season. Goal song need a refresh. I’m thinking something from the 2000s that people would know. It fits the bill

I have an idea for the Oscars. What if at the end of every decade there's a Movie of the Decade that's totally retrospective, and it can't have won Best Picture at the time? The movie with staying power? So for the 1990s it probably would have been something like Goodfellas,

We were debating this last night... as a golf fan, what would be the coolest thing to happen? 1. Jordan Spieth comeback Masters win 2. An amateur wins the US Open 3. Walk-off, hole-out eagle to win a major

@jeffallen_88 @emily_pontiff ^This is definitely ethical bracket making. I've been known to make different brackets based on the particular point allocation in each round. But I haven't made a bracket in years

@emily_pontiff I’m strictly a one bracket guy. If I play in more than one pool, it’s the same bracket in all.

I am a March Madness purist. I am fully of the belief that you get no more than 2 brackets: 1 where your alma mater wins, 1 where you pick who you actually think will win. If you genuinely believe your alma mater will win, you just get the 1 bracket.

@engineeringolf The pre- 2020 system IMO was better for match play. But people were so very confused by it. Today, there's a much stronger correlation between index and difficulty, which is what most people assumed was the case

Hole-By-Hole Handicaps. That post yesterday stirred up some conversation, so let's expand. Designed to be your all-inclusive, bookmarkable reference for this topic. I will include links to sources in the comments. Things that didn't change: 1. The hole handicaps are up to the discretion of the handicap committee at each course. 2. It is recommended that the front 9 be odd numbers, and back be even. This spreads strokes evenly, making 18-hole matches more equitable. Can be flipped if back is deemed considerably harder. Pre-2020: 3. Prior to the introduction of the World Handicap System in 2020, it was recommended that hole handicaps be determined by the average score difference per hole between groups of low handicap & high handicap players, collected from actual scores. There is nuance to this, linked in comments. Post-2020: 4. Today, there is an updated handicapping recommendation for Stroke Index Allocation. It introduces key differences: -First, holes are ranked by each hole's difficulty to par using Course Rating data (obstacles and length, not actual scores) -Then, ratings are shuffled to spread strokes evenly and make match play most equitable -It is recommended that the lowest stroke index (1 or 2) be assigned to the middle 3 of each 9. -Apply HC 3 or 4 in the first or last 3 holes -Avoid low HC (6 or less) on consecutive holes. These changes aren't automatic. Even though there is a new recommendation, your club may not have been re-rated. They may have re-rated because the course changed, but preferred their existing allocation method. Many clubs appear to have the same allocations as they did in 2019. I'd love to hear from folks on handicap committees in the comments. So, I'll refine the statement in my original post: This is your reminder that the #1 handicap hole is not necessarily the hardest. #18 is not necessarily the easiest. They are correlated, but subject to a variety of recommendations and shuffling intended to make match play as equitable as possible, ultimately at your committee's discretion.

@JimDavignon @DLee075 ROFL. Hilarious you say this, because Celebrini is outperforming expectations. He wasn't considered as sure a thing as Bedard

@DLee075 The NHL draft results after evaluating at players when they draft at age 18, versus 5 yrs later, is generally horrible all around. Excluding the bonafide blue chippers at the very top of the draft like a Celebrini, it's a pure guessing game.

Are NHL scouts so bad that they didn't learn from Lane Hutson. Cole Hutson looks just as good and he was a mid-2nd rounder? Crazy!!!

@Top100Rick The way to somewhat fix it is that you define more than just "general area". You define: fairway, rough, etc. And make the rule that drops must be in the same cut

I don’t know how to fix this golf rule and maybe there isn’t a way to fix it. But it just feels so wrong. It can literally be a full or half stroke reward for finding a sprinkler head. Something can be legal and be ethically wrong. That’s what this is.

@MikeBartner It would be so dumb to trade him. You'd need something stupid back. Like, maybe you trade him after next draft if you suck and get DuPont, and are able to peel Celebrini away. But, like, why?

@_winglessflight Do it similar way they do the movies with live orchestra. Have the singers tour, and sing live, but the "concert" is really just watching the movie along with live music
