Ryan 🧡🍊🏈⚾️🏀🏒

I wasn’t seeking a partner, wife or even gf when I met my wife. I was messing around with a few different women at the time, waiting for the end of June 2021 to get there so I could leave TN for good, having already accepted a job in Maryland, lost my best friend in December 2020, needed a fresh start. My wife messaged me on bumble about baseball and sports in Late April. We talked on the phone for like 4 hours a few nights in a row. And then we finally hung out. We hung out for 3 nights in a row, and then she had to help her best friend move out to Cali for two weeks. A very long two weeks. I told her I wasn’t looking and that I was moving to MD in June. She pushed the fuck it button and applied for a lead neuro RN role at John’s Hopkins. She got a call back 24 hours after applying. She had her in person job shadow the week after she came back from Cali, and decided to road trip with me up to MD to take my first load of stuff to the new apt. We never spent a day apart again. Proposed in front of her and my family the last day we were in TN in June. Married that same October. Love finds you, you don’t find it.

@vaelor0 @Hoopss No it doesn’t. Wear what you want within policy, and lift your fucking dick (or pussy) off. It costs a monthly subscription ($15-50/mo) OR you can build your own home gym (if you have space) for well under 4k.

If we are being honest this gym lifestyle needs money too

BACK TO BACK THREES FOR OT OMG

Nice hat, @bakermayfield 🙂‍↕️ (via @ValsparChamp)

Big fan of @DaveMishkin TV goal calls.

Behind the patch is a partnership woven with strength, resilience and community. 🪡: raysbaseball.com/webull

Not asking you to love sponsors on jerseys (I don’t), but I am asking you to realize it could have been so much worse. These blend in and will match their respective jersey. The piece of the old roof is a cool integration. It was inevitable, but it was mindful.

@SarAllyce Spot on

Hot take: a lot of people would actually be much more aesthetic if they trained like a powerlifter

@ReteeFor3 I will get humbled real good tomorrow morning on my home course. 🤣 excited for it !

@rycallear thanks man im ready to be humbled by th course!

something.... clicked. Today at the end of my range session the ball just started to fly with no effort. so I had to book another hour in the sim and I have a new club and ball speed record. Idk what I just found but I never want this feeling to go away! hah

@ReteeFor3 That’s wild. Happy for you ! That’s incredible

@rycallear man ill tell you this new swing thought and feel has been incredible. I was basically at 101 full out last summer.

We got Lady Vols basketball 🧡🩵 & Men’s basketball TODAY!!! 🏀 🍊

@ItsLeland Might be your best take

It’s my annual tradition of bitching and moaning about paying 60 bucks for a sticker that goes on your license plate. I’m convinced we are being conned in life full of fees, taxes, and unnecessary payments.

@dpolehn Preach Daniel! So important to have a balance of multiples. Have some stretching, have some cardio and have some strength and then maybe have an active hobby (mine is golf). I feel having multiples just makes the body feel so incredibly great.

The average person should be doing some strength training and some endurance. Focus on one at the expense of the other is not a great strategy long term Health > Performance

Thank you for loving @wesruckerTBA and thank you for supporting #TeamRucker. 💛 I don’t have words but enough for this, but thank you.

@fenfranklin @SSN_USF Certified piece of shit for such a comment. Don’t let karma get you.

@SSN_USF At least coach’s dad can forget this day ever happened. GGs

It took the best game Louisville has played in the past 5 plus years to end our season.

@HelmetMissouri Nah. That’s like shooting 80s in my opinion.

Yea, ok, I shot a 109. But I played the SAME BALL from hole 1 to hole 18, so that's gotta count for at least 10 strokes, right?!?!

@BoCamaro IRAs are the way. That and ETFs and index funds. Maybe throw in a few rental properties and a beach house you can rent out when you’re not using it. That’s where the Monies is.

But everyone will be a 401K millionaire! "BUt mUh MAtCh" 🤷‍♂️

High Point University in NC, which beat Wisconsin in basketball today, conducts campus tours on golf carts, offers wealthy students private housing for $40,000 per year and built an "airplane-cabin interior" so that students could rehearse sitting next to an executive on a plane.

One tournament win in the last four years Same number as HPU btw

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.
