Pointer

Ridiculous.

Ray Allen - 2,973 / 7,429 = 40.01%

Steph Curry - 2,755 / 6,342 ---- 2,755 / 6343 + 500= 2755 / 6843 = 40.26%

OK, this may sound really weird, but I want to know if this feeling can be replicated with other players.

After playing for a bit in QP and Rank I decided to fool around in the many Aim Arena customs. Playing a bit of Mccree, I remembered before I used to watch and analyze how kabaji, aimbotcalvin, and WantedOW would grip their mouse. They are low sensitivity aimers that I feel are 60% wrist and 40% arm. All three play with a kind of palm grip with their pointer finger flat on the mouse and are GMs for their amazing aim.

I grip my mouse in a claw-palm kind of way where my thumb, pointer and middle are curved/bent and the others are usually kind of straight. So I tried their grip, at least for the "pointer finger flat on the mouse" to jokingly see how many times I'm going to accidentally shoot or how slow my reaction time will be since I'm not used to this grip.

Instead something weird happened and my brain for some reason associated the crosshair as my pointer finger. I'm sure I am not making any sense, but its like I am "pointing my aim". Like the end of my finger is where the crosshair is. It was freaking me out a bit, but I kept playing customs. To my surprise I was landing shots, like flick shots I consider uncomfortable. Its as if I wasn't aiming per se, but more like I'm "pointing" at my enemy then clicking.

I said to myself this is totally stupid and my sudden accuracy is just the result of a quick change of grip and being hyper aware of my aim. But today a friend came over who plays Apex legends. I asked him to try this out even though I sounded like a total lunatic. He said he had the same feeling, like he wasn't aiming in the usual way, but pointing. It was kind of weird but he was able to shoot some uncomfortable shots that surprised him. The downside though was that quick turns didn't feel natural due to the new grip.

Im wondering if anyone here can relate to this, or if ever try it out, and tell how its affecting you?

Edit: both me and my friend are claw/palm with some variations. The main idea is that the pointer finger is fully rested on the mouse.

With 5.3 threes made per game (before today's last game), Steph Curry has clinched the record for most threes per game in history. He joins Steph Curry '18-'19 and Steph Curry '15-'16 in the 5 threes/game club.

The 4 threes/game club is Harden, Harden, Curry, Curry, Lillard, and Lillard.

EDIT: Removed Buddy Hield from the 4 threes/game club, he was averaging 4.0 when I looked this up but finished tonight two away so he's below 4 now.

If the bucks keep shooting like this, and failing to get the ball to their best player in the 4th/OT, they probably won't get very far in the playoffs. Not to mention Giannis' FT shooting struggles- I fw him because he's a cool guy but bricking so many FTs in a close game is inexcusable.

Also Middleton went crazy jesus, what an ending

Everyone talks about Holiday, Tucker, the more switch happy defense and using Giannis in a more Draymond-like role but I think the change in the way Brook is used has been a big difference as well.

He is a great scorer down low and was not utilized enough last year (especially against small lineups).

Giannis in the regular season was taking three pointers just about every game to build up his range and confidence but I honestly thought he was going to stop in the playoffs when games got more serious. I understand an open three pointer is one of the most efficient shots in the game but as we can see so far in the playoffs it really hasn't been for the Greek Freak. Maybe he wouldn't be taking as many 3s if the Heat weren't complete garbage but wouldn't it he more efficient if Giannis just didn't take those threes?

Hello all. I believe I'm at the stage where I can apply for permanent residency, but I have a non-standard income situation that I'm not sure how to report within the rigid rules of the requirements list.

To start, I'm on a spouse visa and am here on a 3 year visa, my second extension (initial approval 1 year, first extension 1 year, second extension 3 years). I've been here since mid-2018 and have been married for a little over three years at this point. My wife and I have been working towards a baby (and were likely successful this time!) which means we are considering house buying, which means I will definitely need eijuuken if we want to make that happen.

As far as I can tell, that's enough to at least qualify. Most of the requirements are straightforward. I've been late on nenkin payments a few times, especially early on, but they have all long since been caught up and as of this year I'm just paying it all at once yearly. Same with city taxes, all caught up and plan to pay this year's (which I just received) all at once.

But the part I'm worried about is my job situation. I worked for the same company since 2014, switching to a remote role when I got married and moved here in 2018. However, I just quit this job within the last month to take on a position at a much, much smaller company, also in America and thus retaining a situation where I get paid from outside the country.

The overarching question is, how do I report my income when applying for eijuuken? The three options listed on the requirements form are Corporate employee, Self employed, or Other. If I were to go with Corporate, the requirement is a certificate of employment. The current company I work is maybe 10 people total. They don't have an HR department or anything fancy like that. I can get the owner to write an email saying I work for them, but I doubt that will count much in the way of proof.

There's option 3, Other, which requires a written explanation or proof of work. I think this may be my best option, to explain that I have just switched jobs (and emphasize the reason was due to a pay increase) and that the new one is much smaller and affords me more free time to spend with my family, etc.

There is also the question of part 3 of requirement 6 for showing tax payments. It requests copies of bankbooks. This is fine, I have a yuucho account with a bit of money in it, but my "primary" account is a bank in the US. Since my employers are in the US, I maintain an international fri

19, she/they, KY(ish), US. I've been on hrt for 7 months.

I'm currently typing this from a coffee shop. It's been a little under a week since I had to leave my family home and I've been chilling in these kinds of places to charge my laptop. I'm not really in urgent need of anything, but I'm still not sure what to do.

Back in March my parents started a fight that ended with my father briefly attempting to strangle me. That night I packed all my things in my car and drove off for a few days. It was a pretty big moment that proved for me that they don't have as much authority over me as they want to think. They started the fight over my phone, which they took, so I went and got another under my own plan.

Two weeks ago my father decided to take the hinges off my door. I'm still not sure what the thought process was, or my actual offense. I think he was mad I didn't get up go make grilled cheese for breakfast fast enough. He's an authoritarian dumbass who literally laughed at the concept of boundaries and I don't care to explore the depths of his psyche because I don't want him in my life and I'm firmly struck by the feeling that there's not a lot of thinking that actually goes on in there either way. I left for a few days after this, too, and never spoke to the bastard since then.

I hope one day long after I've forgotten him, he remembers the last time he interacted with me and feels just a little bit of regret that he may have been wrong about something. Not likely.

And now this time. They were preparing to go on a long trip to Florida to attend a funeral for a family member I had not heard of until I was told about the trip. I will not put myself into a situation where I'm stuck in a car with unstable abusers to whom I haven't spoken since they took the hinges off my door. So I refused to go. It's too traumatic for me to re-type but here's a screenshot of me recounting it. HEAVY TW.

I came back later to grab all of my things. They swiped some stuff like my console to I guess prevent me from enjoying anything but they can fucking keep it, I'm not going back. I drove two cities over and I've been here since. Sleeping in my car at rest stops and going to cafes to charge my laptop. Eating at diners and fast food. Etc.

I have enough in my bank account to be able to keep this up for a while. I also have roughly 10k in savings which I want

My father and his gf got an English pointer puppy (now 5 months old) and it’s clearly beyond their “training” abilities. They are trying to train him but he’s extremely hyperactive and easily distracted. There are days when he doesn’t respond at all and it’s impossible to leave him alone in the house (which will be an issue once people start returning to the office).

Unfortunately, we know the breed doesn’t suit their lifestyles (busy, not very active) but the gf has had a “lazy” viszla so she thinks she knows hot to handle an English pointer and “he’ll get lazy with age as well”. And my father would never admit that he could make a mistake. He had 2 dogs (German shepherds) before but they were only in the garden so he didn’t bother to train them much. So basically they are no experts.

So now we are trying to convince them to get a professional help. There’s still time to save the situation. But the issue is their ego. Seeing a professional might indicate (in their mind) they failed. So instead they do nothing, they just watch some videos on YT and then struggle on their own. It’s comparable to the old stigma of seeing a therapist/psychologist to help with mental health. And we don’t know how to prove them that hiring a professional is actually a great sign of responsibility and caring.

I’m quite sad and angry about the whole situation. We told them that the breed was not compatible with their lifestyles but “they knew better than us”. So now we just wait for the dog to destroy a house that my father built through his hard work and the poor dog to get crazy over the lack of exercise that he will obviously need (I hope I’m wrong on this point but I can’t imagine them becoming suddenly super active people).

Dudes an absolute baller. How many more games do you think it takes until he’s ahead of Ray Allen?

Ok, long story short I've never been great at making friends with other women. Started in grade school and just carried on. I had no interest in dolls, or other activities people deemed "girly" (I'm 35 so that was still a thing at the time where I grew up.) I just got along better with the boys because I wanted to rough house and play football (American), was a book warm, plus an extremely awkward teenager who had their life turned upside down when placed in foster care (was a good thing saved my life). And to further this I joined the military soooo, wasn't exactly a lot of bonding time to be had with other women. Especially when you're spending the majority of your time proving you belong there... But I digress.

Basically my SO is planning on popping the question soon (super excited don't judge me!) And we've started prebudgetting looking at venues ECT so we can figure out a reasonable budget. In doing so I realized a few things. One I have zero family in the blood sense to stand on my side, dad died, mom may as well be, and I literally have 2 women I have maintained a friendship with for over a decade that's it. Granted I am forming a relationship with my SOs sister in law she's awesome but lives hours away. I feel like maybe I've missed out on this aspect of life.

So I guess my question is how can I go about cultivating relationships with other women? I want to expand my social circle and have people other than my fantastic SO to share this day with. It takes me a minute to warm up to people but I do try to be friendly even though the PTSD and anxiety racks my nerves (working on getting past it.) Idk this all over the place so I will leave it at that. Thanks for reading!

Devin Booker has tied his career high for three-pointers in one game with 6

What a start for him in this game.

Just noticed this and did a double-take. It isn't particularly close either, with Ball playing one less game and hitting 99 to Young's 85.

“It was so loud in [Chesapeake Energy Arena] that day," Kerr recalled Friday in an interview with KNBR's "Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks." "And I just remember, after Klay hit his fifth or sixth [3-pointer] of the second half as we were coming back ... I just remember looking at one of the fans and saying, 'Can you believe this is happening?'

>His 6 3-pointers are tied for the most in any quarter in NBA postseason history.

Suprised that this passed KD's 37 point half in 2019 against the Clippers. Speaking of KD, MPJ reminds of him. He had 22 of the nuggets' 29 points, insane.

This is on 5.5 attempts per game (not a small sample size)

It is well documented that Randle has been the most improved player in the league this year, but his jump behind the arc is what has made him one of the games best players this year. In my lifetime I can not think of a player who has made this much of a jump in his shot so suddenly. Congrats to Julius on an incredible season and good luck in the playoffs! #WeHere

So I’m all grown up and living on my own, just finished uni and started full time working.

One thing I’ve found really bizarre is how much my food shop varies week to week, if I go to Spudshed I walk away spending roughly $60-$80but if I do a similar shop at Coles I’m easily spending $100-$140, what’s the deal with that? I realise Spudshed is cheaper and sells lower grade produce (I think?) but that’s a huge difference

I’ve also been told Aldi is better value than Spudshed but I’m not sure on that? (I.e the food is still cheap but better quality per $ spent)

I’ve pretty much figured out the following, if anyone can add to this I’d really appreciate that

• avoid take out - it’s shit and it’s expensive
• Cook meals in bulk and freeze
• it’s cheaper to buy 1kg of mince and freeze half for next fortnight that to buy 500g twice
• adding lentils/other similar tinned items to mince can make it go way further and it costs next to nothing
• if you’re going to drink mainly do it at home but avoid as much as you can
• just generally avoid snacky garbage but allow yourself some little treat things to stop yourself from splurging mid-week (I buy a bag of flavoured nuts once a week which stops me going down the shops to buy stupid shit weekly)
• vegetables can actually be a really easy and cheap way to mix up a dish by swapping them out, it also is a great way to bulk out your meals in a healthy way

I ultimately want to have a consistent fortnightly food spend of $100 which for one person doesn’t seem crazy, I think the answer ultimately would be to have a meal plan on a 3 week rotation to avoid getting totally sick of it

But yeah if anyone has any pointers it would be greatly appreciated, as this one expense doubling from time to time is really not helping my budgeting abilities

1. If someone sends you a meeting request and they don't include an agenda, politely decline. Request an agenda so you can ensure you are properly familiar with all the topics covered and prepared to address the key items.
2. If someone schedules a meeting for longer than 60 minutes they probably don't have a clear scope of enquiry or don't know what problems they need to solve. You should explain to them that you cannot commit to that duration but you'd be happy to attend for 45 minutes to provide input into relevant discussions. Give them advance notice that you will not be there for their entire 3-hour rambling snorefest to discuss the ideal curvature radius of the bike-racks.
3. If you're supervisor/manager doesn't know or care what technical development you need/want for your career, you should let them know in a brief informal meeting and followed up with a summary email (minutes). If they still don’t know or refuse to support you (even passively support you by giving you 2 hours a week of non-billable time to study), find a new employer.
4. If something can’t be verified in the field it shouldn’t be in the specification, it should be in the “work pack” documents or discussed in a meeting and captured in minutes
5. Internal clients are often just as important as external ones. If your structural eng needs to know the expected settlements in the foundation but you haven’t finished calibrating your amazing 3D Zsoil model, you need to be able to give them a preliminary range of estimates based on quick, simple/empirical methods within a few hours to get them going. Models can corrupt and/or take weeks to finalise and you don’t want to hold the entire workflow hostage to the provision of a precise result when a lot of the time an imprecise result is sufficient for others to make their high-level decisions.
6. Never use the word “should” in engineering discussions unless it is the only good word for the context. Either things are or they aren’t. Either things are required by the specification or they are not. Things can be achieved by the construction contractor or they cannot. Your analyses suggests that the target factor of safety is met or not met. Just state the god damn facts – talking about what should and should not be the case is vague, useless information to everyone and probably has no bearing on decisions. I have seen engineers get their careers destroyed in court over use of the word “should”. When due diligence consultant

Most threes in a month in NBA history:

85 — Steph Curry (Apr 2021) 82 — James Harden (Nov 2019) 80 — Steph Curry (Jan 2019)

Hello this is my first time ever playing enhancement and also the first time I’ve ever been glad. I had a hard time climbing for a lot of reasons, but there were also a lot of things I didn’t know. This list is some things i didn’t know that helped me a lot, with just a few things I did know and some other people didn’t. If you already knew everything here and want to leave some other pointers it would also be helpful.

1. Reapply windfury outside of combat often. I know it sounds stupid but hear me out. There is a bug where windfury gets taken off if you move instances. I’ve noticed this in mythics, arenas, and sometimes open world. In arena I was doing an extremely low amount of damage until at about 2050 cr I noticed my windfury wasn’t on the charts. The tooltip on the top right will show it enchanted but it will randomly be taken off when you move instances. If you find you aren’t flooring people with doomwinds this is one of the reasons why

2. During doomwinds only use stormstrike, sunder, and crash lightning. Windfury is reliant on auto attacks and these have intervals. For some reason every other shaman ability resets this interval including free maelstrom casts. This is why if you ever doomwinds stormstrike and free bolt or chain harvest their hp doesn’t drop for two globals until the second ability hits. Blizzard is fixing this bug in the next patch but I don’t know is lava lash will be fixed.

3. Sunder counts as two special attacks for the stormbringer procs to reset stormstrike and should always be used with doomwinds

4. Grounding has similar attributes to cloak of shadows except it has an aoe attribute. This means you can block non target abilities like convoke or chill streak.

5. You can dispel mind control off of allies with your purge. In fact any character with a purge can do this.

6. This ties into number 2. For ascendance it’s best just to windstrike sunder or crash lightning. It does way more damage than any other rotation.

7. Heroism has a mana cost on alliance but not horde Orcs. It’s been like this for a while not sure why but that’s why everybody rolls orc shaman. (Shaminism PvP talent) I play dwarf >:)

8. This one may be entirely obvious but I’ve seen it overlooked. Stormstrike is only physical damage so it does not benefit from mastery at all.

Again I knew some of these but there are others that I had no idea about during my climb and costs me some games. If you have any cool tips or secrets you want to share that

When I'm at work, I have my phone in my back pocket. It is practical and my trousers do not have front pockets. Apparently, it makes my butt look flat. I know at this point, you have told me now. I have heard that if I took my phone out of my back pocket my butt would look better.

I do not care. My plan for the day was not to give you a boner. This is a bookstore, not a strip club. You are not paying for sexy, unless you'd like to check out our erotica section. Please get your book and leave me and my back pocket phone alone.

Here is source.

He is killer after he recovered from injury. I think he will continue with this performances in the playoffs, as he likes to play, and is very good in meaningful games. He didn't have a lot of them in the NBA, but he was so good in important games while playing for Fenerbahce, Partizan and Serbia National Team. I think people shouldn't write out Hawks easily if they play the Heat in first round.

These helped me and maybe they can help someone else!

1. You should choose the lifestyle you want over the person you want.

2. Here’s a simple truth that we all need to face up to: the people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people. You never meet the right people at the wrong time because the right people are timeless.

3. At the end of the day, you have 2 choices in love - one is to accept someone just as they are and the other is to walk away. There is no in between. There is no bartering , bargaining, expecting or falling short in love. There is just choosing to be there or not. Anything in between is a tired, self interested excuse for love.

Your turn...

So, this is interesting ...
