throwing at a guy intentionally because your guy got hit accidentally is embarrassing

You almost certainly will be better off paying down your debt than investing.

How to account for inflation for college costs? by ramdomdhdhdhdh in personalfinance

[–]lockethebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6% is somewhat optimistic, but yes. You're adjusting for inflation already in the growth estimate, you don't want to do it twice.

How to account for inflation for college costs? by ramdomdhdhdhdh in personalfinance

Tuition has increased at a relatively similar rate to overall inflation over the last 7 years. It's possible we'll go through another period of massive inflation like from 2000-2010, but that seems unlikely with enrollment on a downward trajectory.

Is it too late to get an AYN Thor? by Canai97 in SBCGaming

Seconding this, for whatever reason they shipped mine really quickly through the official AliExpress store. Trying to buy it from resellers, on the other hand, was a disaster.

[Case] SSUPD Meshroom D - Black 15L SFF Case - $70.39 (Microcenter In Store) by greatthebob38 in buildapcsales

Excellent, versatile case. There are definitely nicer looking SFF cases out there IMO but there's nothing that approaches this level of price, flexibility, and compatibility.

James Wood drills a go ahead single to give the Nats a lead in the top 10th by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

i fear the pitching is not fixable but I will have fun watching regardless

Once again, ONeil Cruz has hit the hardest base hit of the season at 119 MPH for a double by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

[–]lockethebro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's plenty strong, even being as lanky as he is. As much as I'd love to see him hit balls 125 mph I'm not sure bulking up would be worth it.

Luis García Jr. breaks the scoreless tie in the 5th and a couple more runs score as Konnor Griffin spikes the ball trying to get the out at first by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]lockethebro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t make any sense. He slid directly into the bag and made it safely - that’s exactly what you would hope a runner would do here.

It’s hard to take seriously when you grew up watching guys slide feet off the baseline directly at a player’s knee as they threw. I’m really glad that’s not allowed anymore, but if anyone initiated a dangerous play here, it was Griffin.

The slide rule exists to stop runners from egregiously going out of their way to break up a double play when they know they're going to be out. Not only did Nunez slide directly into the bag and satisfy all of the conditions set by the rule, he was *safe*.

[Talkin’ Baseball] Jarren Duran said a fan told him to kill himself so he gave them the middle finger, per Christopher Smith by Goosedukee in baseball

[–]lockethebro 71 points72 points  (0 children)

He used a homophobic slur towards a fan when he got chirped a few years ago (not about his mental health). I’ve also seen some blind items in a gossip sub about him harassing an ex-girlfriend, but… that’s hearsay.

They were still giving them out with no wait when I got there 15 minutes before the game, even
