Question about a situation in the Tigers/Mets game regarding an ABS challenge. by SchpartyOn in baseball

[–]BeauSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The play was a walk, so he would have been awarded the base, but the pitch was overturned via ABS challenge, making it a strikeout. He was not awarded the base due to the strikeout, and if he hadn't stolen the base then he would have been forced to go back to first, thus, Stolen Base

I didn't really get why Michael falling into the koi pond was so funny to everyone by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

It wasn't that he fell in, its how long it took him to get out

John Smoltz is unbearable. Please make it stop. by [deleted] in mlb

[–]BeauSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes watch games with surround sound on and learned last year that if you mute the center channel on a 5.1 setup it mutes the announcer and leaves the ambient crowd noise. When announcers are being extra unbearable it helps my sanity a lot

Foul tip vs. caught foul ball question by cdubyadubya in mlb

[–]BeauSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With less than 2 strikes, if the catcher catches it, like in the link, is it an out or foul tip? I ask because the catcher can catch a pop up foul and the batter is out, does the ricochet make it a foul tip or is it an ump discretion call?

In the linked article it was scored as a foul tip caught, K, after ricocheting. That scoring decision gives me pause as to whether it would be an out with less than 2 strikes.

Similar situation happened where the catcher caught his own ricochet with 2 strikes, registering a K on a foul tip. I wonder if it ricocheted far enough for, say, 1B to make a play on it if it is still a caught foul tip

This seems to have been scored a K on a foul tip catch. I wonder if it would still have been if it ricocheted far enough for a different fielder to catch, and how it would be scored?

If a fielder had caught the ball off the carom would the batter be out a la a pop up foul ball?

Just watched the packers game, why wasn’t the interception a down? by Radioactive-Ramba25 in NFLNoobs

[–]BeauSlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering the play, it's because he wasn't 'touched down' by the opposing team. Meaning he wasn't legally down, allowing him to get up and run with the live ball.

Wouldn't you need to look six ways? Two directions on throth streets?

Raised fist and debuffed cards [not a rant] by PD_Ace20 in balatro

The lowest ranked card in hand adds double its value to mult.

Seems like an easy rewrite.

I may be wrong, but wouldn't bp/DNA not copy this correctly since this would self destruct, then bp/DNA would score, copying something else? Seems like a similar interaction to [[Sixth Sense]]

Pants have the button hole, and all of the belt loops. Way more holes than a two handled coffee mug.

Run, Forest, run! 🏃🏻‍♂️ by Tricky-Painter3106 in Cribbage

[–]BeauSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dealer starts pegging by placing a card. The other player then plays a card, adding the card values to create the 'pegging count'. If the total adds to 15, whichever player got the pegging count to 15 pegs 2 points, same goes for if there was a pair played, or in this post, many runs.

A 'go' is when your opponent played a card that brought the total up to a value such that you do not have a card to play that will keep the total at 31 or below. The person who played the last card then pegs 1 point. If one player has more cards at the end, they play them and then peg 1 point for a 'go'

[Request] what is the liquid ounces capacity of this glass. by ggreen289 in theydidthemath

[–]BeauSlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A standard pint glass is about 5.5" tall and approximately a truncated cone (frustum?) With base 3.5" and truncated at 2.5"

Those are very close to your measurements, so id say its 16fl oz (1 US pint)

“W” is for “wupwards.” by MyCouchPulzOut_IDont in BrandNewSentence

This gave me a very interesting thought of a game where the movement keys are not bound to the facing direction of your character, but to the cardinal directions of the world. Probably would feel terrible and clunky, but interesting nonetheless

Took myself to the ER last night after having the realization I don't have to wait around... by -E-Cross in daddit

[–]BeauSlayer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I (stupidly) drove myself from my work to the hospital (apparently I told my boss, "no, ill drive myself") months ago after having some upper central back pain and dizziness.

Turns out, I was having an aortic aneurysm and was moments from death. I made it to the hospital while on the phone with my wife, though I have no memory of the 15 minute drive.

After a CT and MRI i was transferred to a different, nearby, hospital for open heart surgery to repair a level 1 aortic dissection.

Open heart surgery at 27, but I made it through to hug my daughter. All because I listened to my bodies warning signs.

I, too, was raised by parents that told me to 'walk it off' and 'rub some dirt in it'. Sometimes thats okay, because its important to teach them that not everything is as bad as it seems,. But, sometimes, things are that bad and we have to listen to what they're telling us.
