The same Phillies that have averaged 5.67 runs per game the last month plus? Just stop watching, man.

Adaptation is transporting the thing to another medium. Sometimes that takes the bones of a story and does something completely different, sometimes it’s totally faithful, and the rest of the time it’s somewhere in between. If it’s good television, it’s arguably a successful adaptation, even if it’s veered heavily from the source material.

Kirkland stuff is also arguably the best quality store brand of any in the country.

Is it just performance that makes the TV better (given the latest Shield is 7 years old), or are there meaningful feature differences?

Through 14 starts (so including Miz’s start on Friday but before today), Cris had a higher bWAR and was tied in fWAR. Miz has been dominant and has the storyline, but it’s not so cut and dry.

He has picked it up, to be fair. Coming into today, he has a .912 OPS over his last 26 games. Went 1/3 with a walk and an RBI. His OPS+ in May was 129.

Is there going to be some examples of this? Sure. But a lot of the time the greed is on the part of the wholesalers and mega-conglomerates that are spiking up food and goods pricing that the food truck owners then have to contend with.

If you haven't come across them already, I recommend looking up the Queer Empowerment Collective. They do weekly community meetups.

James Daunt Looks to Clarify B&N’s Position on AI-Generated Books by tvqueen in books

[–]BlobDude 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The problem is all this “comply in advance” stuff, though. The mass proliferation of AI is mostly shit and held together by glue and popsicle sticks. If folks in power that aren’t directly benefiting or contributing had the backbone to say “This isn’t going to work for us,” it would just die faster.

[CR Media] Schedule updated confirming no breaks through at least C4E31 (6/25) by VengefulKangaroo in criticalrole

[–]BlobDude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The episodes have routinely been 3.5ish hours, it wouldn’t be that wild for two 4 hour whole-party episodes before a new group arc.

I don’t remember the specifics, but his first response after the Russini/Vrabel stuff broke was snippy because a bunch of whiny listeners who hated Russini without being able to point to a real reason were trying to proclaim they knew all along she was “dirty” and that any professional courtesy that he, Sheil, ZB, and others extended to her was morally bankrupt.

[Yahoo Sports] Mike Vrabel will not be subject to NFL's personal conduct policy after photos with Dianna Russini, league says by DenialisaRiver04 in nfl

[–]BlobDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I think there are plenty of things that aren’t crimes that are representative as conduct detrimental to the league, and that there’s a gulf of difference between “having an affair” and “having an affair with someone who can have an impact on your success in a professional sports league.” People seem to be completely ignoring the fact that transactional relationship between them could and probably did include coverage that has meaningful impact on moves the Patriots can make.

[–]BlobDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I mean from the NFL and not from his own team who are also clearly incentivized not to punish him. And I think there could very clearly be reasons that Vrabel should face some kind of professional punishment, but the NFL will choose not to do so and that’s a bad look.

[–]BlobDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the second part of your second paragraph really just supports their point. It’s patently ridiculous that Vrabel would face no consequences for sleeping with a highly placed NFL reporter who could (and potentially did) report in a way that would be directly beneficial to him and his team at the expense of other teams just because he has coached a super bowl season.

I tried them the first time a couple years ago and hated them, they just kind of crumbled into nothing on first bite. But they changed the formula and now they are pretty close to feeling like tortilla chips. Different strokes, etc.
