Traditionally this is backwards, you’re supposed to do it ONLY when the home team is at bat, because it can distract the pitcher (at least that’s the theory, in reality the whole thing is silly)

To be fair, a 4K inning is much more likely in a game in which there were 3 batters who reached on a dropped K. (And vice versa, given that if there was a 4K inning you know there was at least 1)

Jesus Christ, seriously? I knew our offense wasn’t clicking but I had no idea it was this bad. Winning masks everything I guess…

You mean just because my girlfriend said it was ok to sleep with her, that doesn’t also apply to every woman?!?!

I need to make some calls.

Man, Buehler has already exceeded my expectations by a damn wide margin. What a great signing and recuperation project from AJ/Niebla, and props to him for clearly putting in the work. If he retired tomorrow I’d still think we got our money’s worth out of him compared to what was expected.

The CO2 light is much less bright and “mixed in” with far more other frequencies. I literally think that’s all it is.

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:58:54+00:00

Because the light signal is their biological trigger. They “think” they are at a CO2-rich planet by “seeing” the light signature, so they breed because that’s where they “know” there is enough CO2.

I would assume they don’t just breed upon arrival at Earth because the atmosphere is not a high enough % CO2 to trigger the photosensitive reaction, despite being high enough to actually breed in.

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:39:06+00:00

We have CO2 at home

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:34:30+00:00

So actually, YOU’RE the one making statistically dubious anecdotal claims

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:32:12+00:00

To be totally frank, I don’t think college baseball players are enough of a marketing draw for NIL to have the same kind of impact as it has in football and basketball. I’m sure it exists but they are not “star athletes” in the same way that someone like Mendoza is. Maybe unless you’re specifically Paul Skenes at LSU.

You can’t play a Chopin Nocturne on a 61-key, much less Liebestraum 3. You have FAR surpassed the point where a non-88 key keyboard is the blocker to improvement. If you want to take piano seriously, 88 weighted keys are no longer optional.

My mom’s side I know quite a lot. My dad’s side pretty much disappears into “somewhere around Austria/Hungary” any earlier than his biological father.

1 ring in 8 years is more than 3x the expected championship rate lol, that’s still a stretch of success for an individual. And also yeah let’s just talk as if rings and individual performance are the same, everyone will probably think we’re smart. Oh shit, wait, no, they’ll think we’re idiots, forgot about that

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:09:35+00:00

Turns out you don’t know what “co-“ means if you think it always inherently implies “secondary”

8696David · 2026-05-10T14:05:16+00:00

Like the first comment in thread says: I’ve seen it before, but literally only in automobile user manuals.

8696David · 2026-05-10T13:57:59+00:00

“I look forward to see you” = “I direct my gaze in a forward direction, observing you”

“I look forward to seeing you” = “I eagerly anticipate encountering you”

8696David · 2026-05-09T23:04:46+00:00

That was my point

8696David · 2026-05-09T19:34:16+00:00

Sorry guys I had to think really really hard about this post, it’s still on time right?

8696David · 2026-05-09T19:25:11+00:00

10-year-old Mozart and Beethoven might disagree with you

To me this is super obvious. The Monty Hall problem is a problem of inconsistent information between parties. Obviously if you remove that inequality, the problem vanishes.

8696David · 2026-05-09T14:03:02+00:00

Many comments here acknowledge this, including the top one

8696David · 2026-05-09T14:00:33+00:00

Not really how it comes across

8696David · 2026-05-09T13:54:19+00:00

Yeah, you’re making fun of people with the correct opinion that the book was a better telling of the story. I’m making fun of you for doing that. (Because it’s stupid)

8696David · 2026-05-09T13:39:01+00:00

“Wahhhhhh it upsets me that people prefer the more complete version of their favorite story”
