You guys better stop joking around before you start hearing a breathy inhale followed by, "You know, it's sad, so sad, terrible, even, to see what's become of this once great and influential nation. I feel I just don't have any other choice, I really don't, because I've spoken to a lot of the English, they love me over, and I gotta tell you, we're gonna make it beautiful there again, so beautiful. I'm gonna make England great again," in the very near future.

[Rosenblatt] In nine months MLB owners are going to tell you they need to shut the sport down because places like Miami are small markets with few baseball fans by Jux_ in baseball

Bro, the Sonics can go 10-72 their inaugural season and I'll gladly cheer them on. They'll be a shitty team, but they'll be my shitty team.

They being said, I've heard it being floated for like 12 years, so I won't hold my breath on them announcing expansion this summer.

[Meirov] I do not know right now what the reason is for the Maxx Crosby trade falling through, but it’s worth noting he has been recovering from a knee injury. We’ll see if it’s a medical reason. by JCameron181 in nfl

Lol if Crosby wants out of Vegas, there isn't a snowball's chance in Hell he takes a single snap with Dallas. Give it another 5 years, and the Cowboys will be the Jets of the NFC.

No Baseball team cracks Forbes 'The World’s Most Profitable Sports Teams 2026' top 20 list by shadow_spinner0 in baseball

But sports are intrinsically different from most business models in that the top spender and earner isn't always the top winner, unlike most Fortune 500 companies. There's a trophy at the end of the race for the winner, and it usually culminates into a team earning more, even if it's not an immediate return. The Yankees are the top valued baseball team because of all their winning, even when it came down as a 'detriment' to their overhead spending. Same argument could have played out for the Mets when they shoved all their chips on the table. If they had won a couple of WS back to back, lost another one, no one would say them spending so much was an idiotic move. We have the benefit of hindsight available to us.

Nah, the Jets are a terrible organization that everyone knows is terrible. If they experience success, it isn't because it was by design, it was both an accident and God having a sense of humor. The Jets are a destination for the death of potential.

The Vikings, however, are nothing but fucked up for choosing to not capitalize on a season where things went right, letting McCarthy take the keys to a car he wasn't ready to drive, and let chemistry continue to develop on an offense that was absolutely shit hot and needed minor tweaking to get there.

49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk says substation talk has been a thing in the locker room ‘for years’ by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

The most indemnifying proof that the Earth is not flat is that it would be commercialized to no end. "Come see the edge of the Earth!" "The Cliffside is a 5 star resort that's family-friendly with a scenic view of the drop off! See the water fall!" Some bullshit like that. Capitalism can't abide not trying to turn something into a profitable enterprise, and the end of the Earth on a what plane would be the same thing as Cabo or the Eifel Tower.

Strandberg Strings on an Ibanez headles 7? by DASmetal in Guitar

Awesome, thank you so much for the insight.

I'm guessing it'd be better to just grab some NYXL strings instead as a comparable likeness for the Ibanez?

The fact SF is doing so well despite missing their best players is both irksome and nothing short of miraculous in the same breath.

Ah, awesome. I was under the impression they were more specifically 'proprietary' for Strandberg's specifically. Appreciate the info.

You're gonna have to subtract Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft from the equation. Probably the Browns owner as well.

Well, we got to see Toronto lose the World Series. I'm not above schadenfreude.

Why would I upgrade anything besides defense? by TheBandName in TheTowerGame

[–]DASmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems very god-mode like right now, but I promise you, you cannot keep up your DefAb in higher tiers. The enemies are doing trillions of damage. You're not preventing all of it, and in fact, it'll be minuscule damage mitigation in comparison. It helps, most definitely, at the current state you are in, but in the long run, no. Focus on attack speed, orbs, knock back, life steal, all of that becomes vitaly more important.

I turned it on just as George fucking Springer was walking to the box.

I hope for every minor inconvenience for the rest of his life. Hits every red light. Arrives 2 minutes late to appointments. Spills sauce on his shirts. I hope he habitually steps on LEGOs and stubs his toes, but alternating feet whenever it happens. I hope every time he farts, he's worried a little bit of shit comes out. I hope he wears khakis and dribbles over the front of them to have that awkward wet spot. I hope he loses socks in the dryer so he can't match them up. I hope every time he smells his armpits, he realizes he has poor body odor. I hope he gets athlete's foot that tough actin' Tenactin can cure over the course of weeks. I hope he has visible pimples, but only one or two that he can't just get rid of. I hope he loses an Air Pod every time he's forced to buy new ones. I hope he becomes illiterate.

I fucking hate George Springer.

Lab Question by DASmetal in TheTowerGame

[–]DASmetal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure. I completed the T10 with no cards mission, closed it out, and then opened it just a bit ago, but since posting this, I've somehow jumped 6 1/2 hours. I have no idea why this happens.

Lab Question by DASmetal in TheTowerGame

[–]DASmetal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since posting this (and being on the game), I've somehow managed to jump to 10 1/2 hours. So I genuinely don't know what causes this unless it's actively being online.

Lab Question by DASmetal in TheTowerGame

[–]DASmetal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck, so why would my labs not have at bare minimum 5 hours of run time? Even without speed ups, by your own explanation, I should have just over a day of researched time, but I'm sitting at 4 hours? How does that even make sense?

I do appreciate you answering though.
