Ultimate frisbee is more like frisbee football and is played with a Frisbee. I used to do that too. A little too intense for me now. Getting older. Plus when I moved the ultimate frisbee crowd here sucks. Real jerks.
Disk golf is literally like Frisbee golf. It is played with discs. They are a little smaller and quite a bit more not sure how to say it “aggressive”. The “holes” are metal baskets with chains that hang from a halo over the top. The chains sort of grab the disc if you hit them right and the disc falls into the basket. Or in my case the chains act like a wall and spit the disc out. It’s mostly walking from an exercise perspective and yeah quite a bit more laid back. Technically challenging though. Really love it.

Does disc golf count?

I was wondering that too.

What slows down is YouTube. Perhaps that’s why you haven’t noticed it.

Getting ready to ditch this crappy browser. I used to love Firefox but now it’s been enshitified. I’m a tab-o-holic. Have too many tabs open, think I’ll slow down. Leave the browser open too long. I think I’ll slow down. Oops. Looks like your page crashed. Wanna go to this site? Sorry it’s not compatible with your browser.
People seem to hate Brave for the crap they pulled, rightly so I guess, but at least it worked. It seems like there are no good browsers now. I tried Mulvad but due to it’s safety features, it won’t open where I last left off.
Chrome is apparently safe, if you consider Google safe. Microsoft? Puhlease.
- Comment on Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead 1 week ago:
Ha! I watched Leave it to Beaver and the guy who played Beaver and the guy who played his brother Wally are still alive and still best of friends!! Never mind just looked it up and Wally passed away a couple of years ago. Damn.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 week ago:
I know right. I always alter the speed. I watch nearly everything at 1.25 speed because it shortens my viewing time without missing any content and I almost never even notice the difference. With really slow talkers I can get to to 1.75 speed. I almost never go to 2x. I can’t imagine 4x. There is one guy I have to actually show down to 0.75 speed to digest.

Typical. Take it away, then charge to bring it back.

It’s almost as if they are out of touch with their users. I don’t get it. CEOs are just normal people like us.

We’ll it IS kind of bobbing around out there.

- Comment on Don't assume the horrors of the Trump administration will be over after the next election 1 week ago:
Yeah, even if a Democrat gets in, why would they NOT assume all the same power TACO has grabbed. It’ll just be a different kind of dictator.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have the numbers but I’m guessing it’s been used for harm more than good.
- Comment on Santa is working on those lists 2 weeks ago:
Ok, so just sort of spontaneously then.
- Comment on Santa is working on those lists 2 weeks ago:
Of course. How silly of me.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know, but I would be fine if the presidential pardon was abolished. Perhaps replace it with only a stay of execution.
- Comment on Santa is working on those lists 2 weeks ago:
Ok sorry to ask what I guess is obvious. I haven’t been on in as couple of days and now everyone is talking about corn. Could someone please have mercy on me and explain it? Really sorry but I don’t know how to get to the origin of these things. I just see little hints in post after post.
- Comment on The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt 2 weeks ago:
Think about it. He can never really know if someone likes him or is just sucking up because he’s rich and famous. Gotta be rough not having any friends. I think that’s why some rich people get caught with prostitutes. They KNOW where they stand.
Don’t mistake this as sympathy for him, just an explanation as to one of the reasons he may be unhappy.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, actually they might. I do use bookmarks too, but for more permanent things, like recipes and car sites (I’m a car guy). For projects I’m working on and will move along when I’m finished I didn’t want them polluting my bookmarks. I guess I could delete the bookmarks too. Look I never said it made any sense. Ugh.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 weeks ago:
I’m a tab-o-holic. I probably have ADD. I don’t know but I’ll start researching something and if I don’t finish that research before moving on to something else or if the need for the research is postponed, I don’t want to lose what I was doing.
Also there are sites I go to everyday, email, calendar, YouTube, so I just leave them up all of the time.
Somebody help me!!
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 5 weeks ago:
Well let’s see…there’s Pong, of course, then Asteroids, Pac Man, Poker and Tic Tac Toe. Yeah, that ought to do.
- Comment on Deep throat 1 month ago:
So I definitely missed something here but from the memes I’m gathering there was something in the Epstein emails that implies that TACO gave Clinton a BJ. Do I understand that correctly?
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 1 month ago:
I see. Thanks for the reply. You sound a lot like me actually. But one of the many things I like to build is computers and when I heard that the CPU was soldered on, I thought, well that just gets thrown in the trash as soon as it’s outdated. And it seemed like it wasn’t as good as a different computer running the same stuff, but I hadn’t heard anything about it until now and that’s ALL I’m hearing, so I figured I must have missed something.

Can anyone tell me why anyone would want to buy a Steam Machine? Serious question.
- Comment on Humans BY DEFAULT do not want to commit violence towards other humans, otherwise things like Killer's Remorse and PTSD would not exist. 1 month ago:
Who says humans are evil BY DEFAULT?
I think humans are shit. I think a very few are strongly evil. I mean someone came up with the idea and others actually boiled people alive. That ain’t good. The ones doing the boiling would probably not have done so without the ones who thought it up, but does that make them good by default? Also I think given the opportunity to take a million of someone else’s dollars there is a much larger portion of the population that would do it than thinking up tortures. So what’s the definition? How far do you have to go to be evil? How much do you have to resist to be good?

That’s insanity. Too bad I never really cared for the look of the Saab. Looks like a shoe to me. Good cars I guess.

Holy crap! My wife’s Solara has 368,000 miles on it and I thought that was a lot.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 1 month ago:
Learned to drive manual on a 1981 BMW 320i. All of my cars are still manual to this day. 1999 Toyota Solara, 1988 Toyota Corolla GTS, 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder and 2020 Hyundai Veloster N. But mostly I ride my bike, which is also a manual.
