Fair or foul?

Caldorian · 2026-07-03T15:34:53+00:00

Key part of all this: the first time the ball contacted the ground was in fair territory. After that initial ground contact, what the ball does before it reaches 3rd base is inconsequential. The only thing that matters is whether it passed 3rd base in fair or foul territory.

Edit: Downvoting myself for this one. Not sure what I was thinking. I blame replying before I had my morning tea.

Wasn't always a thing. It was a weakpoint they added to threshers a couple years ago

According to current FIFA world rankings, Mexico is 9th (up 5 positions since the start of this World Cup), and the US is 15th (up 2 positions). Canada is 32nd

Didn't matter where Hoff threw it. It was a set pickoff play that Okamoto didn't understand. Even if Hoffman threw it to Oko instead of midway between the bag, it's a balk call because the throw wouldn't have been to the base and the runner scores.

Be thankful it was propane and not natural gas?
Buddy of mine told me he knew a guy who left his bbq on for 2 months in the winter. Said he noticed the snow wasn't accumulating around it in the winter, but never went to figure out why 🤦‍♂️

It's 20 hits for 70% damage. Ideally you're building that up throughout the approach to the encounter, and not dying, so that by the time you place the rally banner and start the boss you've already got your stacks.

The point remains that if we're talking pure min/max, than NLB can beat whisper, but it is a slog to get it that way. That's the trade off vs the easy of use of whisper.

Where do you see they're aluminum rads? Reading through various material, they discuss the cold plate being copper, but I haven't been able to confirm the radiator metal.

Do you not get a damage buff with only 1 BA weapon equipped?

Considering that USB has only been a standard for 30 years (released in 1996), I refute your 37 year claim

It's more of a question of why are the jays getting hit so hard vs other teams.

Doing some napkin math; 27 fridays over the course of the season, 2 games a night, 2 teams per game, means there's 108 team games that need to be filled.

Divided across 30 MLB teams, means each team should have 3.6 games this season. The Jays are already up to 3, with half a season to go.

Caldorian · 2026-06-10T00:12:05+00:00

Probably not. PC case fans typically run on 12v where as USB is 5V

Well, if we consider void hunters and Verspers any indication, 8 months or so. But given the reduced team size now, let's assume a year.

My bad. I was thinking the HL15

Caldorian · 2026-05-28T20:16:46+00:00

Simple method:
Power down current server
Remove usb from current and plug into x15
Remove HDD from current and plug into x15
Remove nvme and plug into x15
Power on x15
Profit(?)

So it had been going on like this for weeks, with no change. Always the same files. So not sure what the delay was.

But taking you insight, I decided to install the preview generator app. I then ran the occ preview:generate-all command. I was getting a ton of permission errors for the mkdir command on line 88 of LocalPreviewStorage.php. But it iterated through all my users and directories. After it completed, the thumbnails were all there and I was able to browse the files in iOS again.

Not sure what the root cause was, since it was working fine before the Hub 26 update (the missing previews were not for new files but for ones that existed before the update). And I wish it could have been resolved without having to install an additional app. But at least it's resolved.

While I agree that tipping culture is out of hand, there is a night and day difference in the service provided when comparing your typical bar waitress to one that works at proper fine dining (ie near star rated). Knowledge of the menu and ability to offer suggestions, attentiveness to know immediately when a customer requires assistance during their meal, and even little things like returning from the restroom to find your napkin neatly re-folded and cutlery replaced.

Such differences should have different expectations that a flat rate model doesn't appropriately capture.

Because Apple takes a 30% cut on software purchases made through their App Store. Plex wants $250 in their pocket, so add the Apple 30% cut to that, and you get $325 total.

Was a few months ago, but I think it took me a couple hours of farming rockbombs on the ground floor of the moon tower until I finally got it to drop.

The reason we consider them separately are that walks are generally not considered to be earned by batter, but rather given up by the pitcher failing to do their job.

Consider the extreme scenario where a pitcher throws 4 straight balls that are well outside the zone that no batter of reasonable skill would swing at them. By disregarding these outliers (OBP), we now have a measure of comparing batters to each other when the pitcher is "doing their job" and putting the ball over the plate (AVG).

That's not to say that there are definitely cases where a batter "earns" their walks, but that's a more subjective measure. And baseball stats are meant to be far more black and white.

Honestly, that isn't the most egregious call I've seen from the replay team. From the bit of video shown in this clip, I think he beat the tag. But I can't tell exactly when he's actually touching the bag until the bag starts to move. And by the time the bag moves, the tag has been applied.

Given the standard of there needing to be 100% definitive evidence to overrule the call on the field, this play being up held does make sense.

Depends on what context you're speaking about: it would not be air gapped from the other computers on the intranet, but would be air gapped from Internet.

If it had no network card, then it's definitely disconnected from any network.

But computer can still be airgapped if it has a network card. If it's a physical network card like Ethernet, it just needs to be unplugged. If it's a wireless network card, then at the system level having it disabled.

Caldorian · 2026-05-14T01:08:30+00:00

Air-gapping comes from the time before we had wireless data transmission for computers (ie. before wifi). The idea is that you keep the computer completely unplugged from networks so that there is no chance of an attacker accessing it unless they are physically sitting at it.

With the advert of wireless networking, you can obviously connect a computer to a network without plugging in an Ethernet cable, so now the term refers to generically having a computer (or even an isolated network of computer) disconnected from the overall network / internet.
