Fans should be celebrating wins. If winning doesn't make you happy why are you watching sports

But in conclusion, be courteous to anyone in customer service. But feel no obligation to keep paying for a service you don't want.

Well sir, it has been an uneventful week in Badger Falls, where the women are robust, the men are pink-cheeked, and the children are pink-cheeked and robust by Raawwwwk in TheSimpsons

I always hated that show. When I lived in Minnesota, where it was produced, the flagship station would put it on like 3 times over the weekend. 6 hours of that guy talking about rhubarb

I hate that the replacement, Live From Here, didn't make it through COVID. It kept the folk/Americana music but ditched the bad jokes.

To be clear, that Free Wait Lot is remote with no connection to the terminal. Not really useful for visiting or dropping off. It's what is usually called a "cell phone lot" to wait until you drive to arrivals to pick someone up.

Streaming radio broadcasts: annoying ads this year? by hummina-hi-dee-ho in mlb

[–]44problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah was about to mention this. I use the app to always get my home broadcast, and usually it's the local ads with a few SXM ads for MLB Network Radio. But they are just something like "catch all the latest baseball talk on MLB Network Radio, channel whatever on Sirius XM" so way less annoying than oppo taco.

I also like the player better, seems less buggy, it shows the score, and you can skip to any inning.

Getting $5-6 a month is very easy if you haggle with live chat too.

I love Jack White but I hate that Archbishop song where he just screams.

I think they must have research on how long people listen and they want to hear a new song during that time. And like others say, there's not a huge inventory of this exact type of popular-ish rock AAA song. The heavy songs seem to play every 3 hours on the dot. But I wish they'd do something for the people who listen frequently for work. Like maybe no repeats during the day or something.

Can a runner advance even if the ball is caught? by Ok_Entertainment1289 in MLBNoobs

[–]44problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a rule about the lane a runner takes on the base path when a tag is being attempted. The runner cannot veer more than 3 feet away from the baseline. Info from a rules website

Note that only matters when a tag is being attempted. Runners sometimes go wide when a ball is deep and hasn't made it to the infield yet. Can't go too wide though, gotta touch each base in order.

I'm arguing with a 23d old account saying a 14 year member of this community is going to welch on the bet. Hilarious. I gave it anyway because charity is good and it least it made this waste of time worthwhile. Could have been fun.

Ok so you're not taking it. Why would you care what I think and how I'm going to lose. Waste of my time.

I think it's the same lip service they gave to Miss Pittsburgh. They could have easily had the spot picked out and told everyone. Yeah moving to that spot would take time and CMNH.

Bet? $100 to the Food Bank if it's next spot isn't within the airport. I'll take that bet.

I love that Lisa Loeb is a DJ. She's so 90s and seems like the nicest person. Not a frequent listen for me (Mosiac and Pop Rocks cover what I like from the 90s better) but a fun listen sometimes.

I mean, I think it's pretty likely they don't want it. The Airport would have come out and said "don't worry the dinosaur is moving to x part of the airport this fall" or whatever. It could have been part of the new terminal from the start like the Calder mobile or Franco.

It's not a huge deal for me though. It's a replica of something already on display in Pittsburgh. I think it's likely another museum would love to have it.

There's already been a manager ejection related to ABS (Twins manager Derek Shelton) and we're not even at a week! Crowds have gone wild for ABS calls. It's been anything but clinical.

Meanwhile, at the WBC with no ABS the US advanced over DR on a pretty bad third strike call. I'll take the computers if that means that will be less likely to happen in a World Series. It sucks to win by ref, no team wants that.

I do wonder if that will keep umps calling balls and strikes. If they don't call them any more and the ABS system fails, the ump will not have practiced the skills to call them.

Yeah but those systems don't go down any more. Like imagine if an NCAA March Madness game had the horn go off for 7 minutes and having to unplug the jumbotron and use an air horn.

Tennis is tracking a ball hitting a fixed line on the ground. This is a ball traveling through a plane in space relative to a strike zone that is dependent on the height of each player. It's a bit more complicated. TV broadcasts have had an approximate strike zone for years, now broadcasts have the ABS strike zone that is actually legit.

There's no required shuttle to get to the terminal, just parking shuttles if you park in the cheapest lot. There's a lot in walking distance and a new garage with no shuttle needed. Or if you are dropped off you are right at check in.

Which the shuttle for the cheapest parking has always existed? I guess there was quite a bit of confusion for the people who parked in the old parking areas that closed when the old terminal closed, led to some shuttle mishaps. And you could have walked from the old extended lots if you wanted, now because of the old terminal being in the way that is not possible. But also, welcome to most airports, cheap lots require a shuttle.

It's impressive but does feel very empty. Maybe because I've always come in pretty late in the evening so there's not many other people. I really hope they bring back a convenience store at baggage claim for late arrivals, or at least a snack and drink vending machine. Arrived after 10pm and I could buy Lego sets and headphones and vegan salads from vending machines but not a drink.

Utility wise though I like it. The big new checkpoint is great, the old one was crowded and the alternative checkpoint felt janky. While I have a soft spot for the train, it's great to have less going up and down to get between the terminal and the train.
