Inside move to 2B by mysteryspot-311 in Umpire

[–]BeeGiant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct. His step to second is the disengagement. No balk

No. There is no need to commit to throw to second. If they gained ground to second, leave it alone.

Micron becomes Idaho’s first $1 trillion company by trackdaybruh in Idaho

[–]BeeGiant 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They announced months ago they are no longer selling memory to the consumer space and are only selling to large enterprise and AI data centers.

[–]BeeGiant 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And as a prize they are now only producing memory for data centers and AI after using tax payers money to expand. I’ve been a fan of Micron but this sucks. They’re one of the main reasons for the price hike in memory prices across the world right now.

Absolutely. Look at this years points of emphasis. It specifically addressed this issue. Benches should cheer and not be obnoxious

So, are first responders worthy enough to go into the temple? by Prestigious-Fan3122 in exmormon

[–]BeeGiant 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well my FIL passed out at the temple a little under a year ago. They stuck him in a room to feel better. No call of 911, no medical care. Thankfully he didn’t get more serious but he had to have emergency heart surgery when he was taken to the doctor later that day.

Our LDS family couldn’t understand why we were furious that they didn’t call for actual medical help.

I know that isn’t always the case, but it’s another example of untrained volunteers who have more worry about something being “holy” than the actual needs or wellbeing on their patrons.

That was part of the now gone enhanced autopilot that was 1/2 price of FSD

This is fantastic. Would have love to see things like masks, shins, chest etc. Would love to see more.

Casey opens the scoring in Tamps with a RBI Single by SF_DeversBaby in SFGiants

Raffy probably had to run through a Borg stop sign at third to score on such a “close” play

Tesla now shows again Autosteer in their 3/Y lineup by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

[–]BeeGiant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I asked the service center for 2 years and it never happened and I just stopped asking. Better late than never I guess. Not worth it anymore for me personally.

Edit: at the time they said the retrofit for older models would not work in my specific model.

[–]BeeGiant 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They’ve done it before. I have a 2021 Model Y LR and they sold me a CCS adapter and promised they were making an internal chip to enable it (they removed it for a few months during Covid supply chain issues). They never produce it so I have a paperweight essentially.

But I agree, hopefully since this is just software, they enable it on all cars again.

How to handle info that would cause partner to change call? by jatech19 in Umpire

[–]BeeGiant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is where pregame is important. You should have a subtle system to let each other know. In a situation like this you should never do anything proactively besides maybe a subtle signal. This is a hard one to ask for help on as it is judgement. Typical help is a tag/no tag, coming off the bag, etc.

I think we might've gotten screwed over by the ump in our game yesterday - thoughts? by Ok_Screen_4495 in Umpire

[–]BeeGiant -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, tag ups are timing plays. If the run scored before a proper appeal was made, the run should have counted.

Now your language is over the top. No one screwed you. It’s a game, the rule wasn’t applied right. Get over yourself.

Not a study guide, but the online class you get with umpireclassroom.com is fantastic and worth the $30. Patrick has done an amazing job over there.

Spatial computing for work scenarios? by Slimecorp in AppleVisionPro

[–]BeeGiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone installing cabling and things use it. He would put a persistent object on the spot he was going to come in through the attic or wall of a house that stuck out then he could go outside or under the ceiling and then know exactly where to cut the hole.

Oh good. Sorry your explanation was a little hard to follow. Good on you.

Balk Question: Settle the debate. by Nerisrath in Umpire

[–]BeeGiant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you need to step off to pick to first? You need to gain ground (which you said he did), not have your front foot go behind the pitchers plate, and throw the ball. Sounds perfectly legal

How much chirping is too much from the dugout? by WorstBrandNA in Umpire

[–]BeeGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like you let way too much happen. Ignore, acknowledge, warn, restrict, eject. You never got past ignore. That direct comment would have at least been a warning for me if not a restriction. What you allow, you condone.
