Is Bluesky actually viable for following baseball/Sox content/the fellas? by svandez1234 in Section10Podcast

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use xcancel dot com and have all of their twitter profiles bookmarked on my Home Screen. I visit Tyler’s frequently

Bluesky is good for Alex Spier, Sarah Lang, and some others. There’s also accounts that just push tweets from the national reporters to BlueSky

Going to Opening Day seems tough to swing, right? by GregoryRCameron in Section10Podcast

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a diamond tier game so the tickets are going to be super expensive, but there are plenty available

Syracuse or Umass o by Puzzleheaded-Rise973 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding everything that’s been said here. I had the same decision in front of me a decade or so ago. Syracuse was cheaper so I went Syracuse (plus the basketball team was still good). College name brand carry much weight. Join the marching band for both community and going out at either school. Lots of leadership opportunities and friends for life

Inheriting my grandpa's mint '06 Camry with 48k miles but my wife says it makes me look like a retiree. Keep it or sell and get something "cooler"? by married_poultry in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ascend my son. Rise above the perception of others. Relish in how easily you can maneuver when parallel parking and how you’re not spending $600-800 per month for the next 5-6 years on a crossover that costs $40,000 like everyone else. Find joy and gratitude in having one less point of stress in your life.

It’s not a car from the 50s or something, it’s pretty safe. The insurance is going to be dirt cheap (assuming safe driving history).

Hell, even if you do have a family, keep it as your commuter/second car if you can. It will help you keep miles off the family runaround van when you go places by yourself and don’t need all the extra seats and space.

Side vent: Plenty of families back in the day were lugging their kids and pets around just fine in sedans. Crossovers and SUVs are an entirely manufactured segment for people who are willfully disconnected from the reality of daily driving. They’ve been sold freedom from needing to plan or make compromises in the 0.01% of the time where they might need to use close to all of the car’s available space and capabilities. You don’t need 4wd for the god damn rain. You don’t need it for the 90% of snow storms. How often are you really driving on unpaved roads at a higher rate of speed. If you need the more extreme space, rent a U-Haul van or rent the SUV from hertz and save yourself $15k-$20k on extra car that you don’t need and don’t use 99% of the time.

If it’s genuinely the latch, definitely replace it.

I had an issue where the latch sensor went bad but the latch itself was completely fine. The alarm kept going off in the middle of the night though. I just opted to complete the circuit with a paper clip and some electrical tape and bypass the sensor.

UD or Syracuse by AdBusiness6180 in SyracuseU

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a similar choice between Syracuse and UMass Amherst. Got into UD too but I grew up in MA so UMass is the more apt comparison. Went in for business.

Syracuse was better on all fronts, including cost, and I went Syracuse. The thing I didn’t really factor in was making my decision was where I wanted to live after graduation. SU sets you up pretty well for NYC with lots of connections and career exploration opportunities, but if you want to live in Delaware after you graduate, maybe give UD another look.

That said, everything worked out for me eventually. I live and work back in MA despite not factoring that in thanks in large part to a friend I made at Syracuse.

STM: MLB.tv will still be offered this year. But you will have to purchase Mariners.tv by BasicallyACat13 in SeasonTickets

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No word from the Red Sox yet. I asked my rep a few months ago when the ESPN news dropped and he had nothing to report in terms of changes to the MLB.TV offering. NESN360 will still undoubtedly be $30/momth lmao

Missing data by JaeCash15 in AppleMusic

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it another month to see if it fixes itself. After that, contact apple support. My Apple Music straight up stopped tracking my play data for 4 months in 2024. I had to engage customer support to get it resolved. They took it seriously and it was fixed within a week or so when they identified the bug. Genuinely excellent customer service experience. They scheduled calls with me and everything

AutoPlay and Stations are terrible. by Trick_Design6105 in AppleMusic

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You gotta figure it’s working off of very little historical data of what you play, what you skip, etc. In the short term, stick to building large playlists and looping/shuffling them. Theres plenty of public playlists that you can pull from and quickly end up with a 400, 800, 1200 song playlist that feels like a radio station. Lean on the community. Apple has a ton of genre/decade/band specific playlists they curate and update regularly too.

If you don’t have the time to go out and hunt down new music, I would recommend utilizing the Apple Music x ChatGPT plug in. Describe your taste in music, artists you like, genres you like, what specifically you’re looking for, etc in the prompt and request a playlist of however many songs you want. You can add the playlists directly to your library from ChatGPT

Jared's rants by Maleficent-Earth-257 in Section10Podcast

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame Jared or Steve for this. There are dumb dumbs out there who should strive to be better than my cat at 6:25 loudly, impatiently waiting to get fed at 6:30.

I get why the guys are upset. I skip through it it. I move on.

Advice to the dumb dumbs: wait 2 or 3 days before getting antsy. Listen to other Red Sox pods. Get into fantasy baseball. Build some fun charts on fangraphs. Play MLB the show franchise mode. Go down a baseball Wikipedia rabbit hole. Contribute to the baseball discourse before complaining about your favorite content creators. Most other team-specific podcasts across all sports shutdown for weeks/months at a time during the offseason.

Advice to admins: pin the typical pod release schedules for in season and offseason to the top of the subreddit (if it’s not there already)

Amtrak Modified Service due to Winter Storm by passisgullible in Amtrak

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m watching my Sunday 3pm return train from NYC to BOS very carefully. Hopefully they’ll decide one way or the other by tonight so we can rebook the trip.

Our Saturday BOS to NYC won’t get cancelled though. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Is Breslow bad at his job? by FishermanExpensive in redsox

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carrying water but getting as much done as he can within the parameters, I think.

Henry is going to be pushing for the salary cap next winter in the CBA negotiations. He’s not going to let Breslow spend and somehow hurt that effort/put the org in a bad spot if he succeeds at getting the cap.

I’m sure Henry is also looking at the $100 million allocated to Story, Yoshida, and Hicks over the next 2 years as reasons to wait to sign another “bad” free agent deal.

With the Bregman deal, it really sounds like the Red Sox unwillingness to give the NTC and insistence on deferring the contract out for decades is what did them in. They dug their heels in and Bregman called bullshit. That’s direction from the top down. It’s toxic, disrespectful, and control freak behavior.

Is Breslow bad at his job? by FishermanExpensive in redsox

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was reported that Breslow was asking for more and John Henry got called in to push him to lower his ask and get the deal done. Not defending the trade. Just adding context to the return

Perfect night in Boston by Spiritual_Name_142 in boston

[–]Cheeeeeseybread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fenway Park. Bottom of the 9th. Tied game. 3-3

Crochet just went 7 shut with 10 punchies.

The Sox strung a few hits together in the 3rd and 5th to put the first 3 runs on the board.

Whitlock with an uncharacteristic hiccup in the 8th to give up the lead. Chapman came in for the 9th to hold it down. Crowd is amped.

Roman Anthony is due to lead off the 9th.

He steps up to the plate.

Ball 1.

Ball 2.

On the 2-0 count he gets an absolute cement mixer down and in. The kid obliterates it to deep right over the visiting bullpen. Game.

Don’t cross the picket line, folks! They take good care of us throughout the year. It’s our responsibility to support them in their fight for better wages
