I’m at the pub.

@GWHayduke97 True! in Britain it is mostly grey, damp and windy. When the sun does actually shine it's not usually for very long.

It genuinely breaks my brain to imagine what 1400 hours of annual sunshine must be like to live in. When going to college in Chicago, I really struggled with the seemingly endless gray of the winters. Chicago gets 2500 sunshine hours!

@ryanmouquegolf Nice cat. More cat.

Your feet could be the reason you can't rotate in the backswing & the downswing... All you need to do is add some foot flare & you'll be amazed at how much range of motion you can get by doing this 👇👇👇

@jet2tweets Returned to BHX from Salzburg. The approach into Birmingham was prettier than Salzburg 😆

@JD255FFH Wow, what a view! 😍 Nothing like seeing the world from above ✈️ Where are you headed?

@jb_61820 @Adriksh Nice tweet. I had to try it!! Compiles and runs! The second case is effectively ignored (as far as I can tell), it could be anything.

@Adriksh Help me out - in "case 1", what happens when it hits the end brace? Does it go back to the "while()" condition? Or does it just keep going?

People think C is a strict language. C lets you casually weave a switch statement inside a while loop, break spacetime, and it compiles perfectly. Don't show this to Python developers, they will cry.

@jakehuttgolf Great post. Super helpful.

@Nickolgolf J, this looks like what I need... Is this what they call the motorcycle action?

Day 2 : Why you can’t have forward shaft lean at impact! If you’re flipping, stalling, or throwing the club into impact… this is why you can’t compress the ball the way you want. Over the next few days, I’ll break down the biggest reasons golfers lose shaft lean — and how you

@coston_jeff Great stuff. Will try it!!

Great Swing Station and information for 99/100 amateur golfers! #CostonOut

@Fit_For_Golf He's still got 90 degrees of trail arm / club angle way past P6 - is this the secret to the super fast release thru impact?

Comments 🤦🏻‍♂️

@MTownsendGolf Nice.. it's hard to see..was it tee'd up?

More Seve.. This time from the ‘87 Masters which was maybe even more crushing than the previous year Here he is, in an outfit sent from the gods, caressing one in close on 12 No need for bad baseball caps, nor grim advertising. Just a simple Spanish magician and his 8-iron

@BarryLeitch My sincere apologies.. clearly AI can make mistakes.. this is what it told me.. !! I shroud have re-checked elsewhere. Anyway, thanks for clearing it up..

@JD255FFH As much as I'd like to take credit for it, it wasn't me. Google says Jason Sheppard did it?

@BarryLeitch Just noticed your Venus the fly Trap theme sounds very much like the Seb and Mia's theme from La La Land... but you were obvs there first..... Will try to mash them together....

@Mangan150 ok... so a 5k run, 3 times a week in around 25 mins is all good?

Running of any amount or speed reduces all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Two things pop out here: 1. Most of the benefit comes from running any amount at all. 2. At very high amounts, benefit may be less than lower amounts. PMID: 25082581

@BarryLeitch Yes. The 1990s gremlin game. I played it on an Atari ST in my youth. I understand you composed the excellent music.

@JD255FFH Venus the fly trap ?

@5621115lol Nice. And liking that the sky is a consistent British winter grey.

@marshallrichrds Great stuff. All 3 videos are super. Clever. And like you say.. this could be USB… so you know what to do next !!

Using an HDMI breakout board I was able to run an external monitor and read sensor data at the same time over just the one HDMI port. Feels strange but it works.

@LETgolf Super finish!

@LloydDurwin @newstart_2024 Ninth paragraph. Oh dear..

My experience in working with narcissists is that, generally speaking, you have an extremely insecure individual pathologically overcompensating with a sense of godlike independence and confidence. It is, of course, a ruse they apply to their own mind to escape the pain of the extreme vulnerability and insecurity. An insecurity that is so pervasive that it would otherwise evoke a sense of terror and hysteria. To manage that "black hole", if you will, the narcissistic state is generated as a would-be antidote. However, this is unnatural, and it's a perfect example of attempting to make two wrongs produce a right. I also believe that it's impossible to properly understand cluster B disorders, of which narcissism is one, without looking at them on a spiritual spectrum. The degree to which the narcissist lacks a sense of spirituality and belief in a benevolent God is directly proportionate to the level of malevolence they are capable of. In the pure narcissistic state, there is no God, because they are God. These can be the most dangerous individuals on the planet. Arguably even more so than a psychopath. Though both are extremely dangerous. However, I want to emphasize that it is essential to understand these individuals not only psychoanalytically, but also spiritually.

a disorder characterized by grandiosity, empathy deficits, and exploitative behaviors that cause profound harm to victims and society. Diagnostic criteria and spectrum models provide clear frameworks for identification, while multifaceted causes highlight the interplay of genetics, environment, and neurobiology in its development. Traits manifest in relational destruction, with victims enduring lasting psychological, physical, and neurological damage. Criminal correlations underscore narcissism's role in violence, from proactive aggression to serial predation, emphasizing risks when combined with antisocial traits. Treatment difficulties stem from inherent resistance to change, though psychotherapy offers pathways to mitigation. In summary, the evidence irrefutably establishes narcissism as a destructive force, with clinical, victimological, and forensic data converging on its maladaptive nature. Recognition of these patterns enables protection and intervention, reinforcing the imperative to avoid engagement with narcissistic individuals for personal and societal well-being. This comprehensive view supports calls for awareness and separation from such dynamics.

Ex-FBI agent Joe Navarro on dealing with narcissists: They're so toxic they'll harm you physically, mentally, emotionally, physiologically, or financially. Your body keeps the score — you'll pay a price just by staying close. No pill fixes them. No loyalty. No changing them. Get out as soon as you can. 50-sec clip — powerful warning Have you had to walk away from a toxic person? What was the sign?
