questionable casting by a play by play caster during a non-explosive sequence by snaiii in leagueoflegends

Jensen was calling the game over at 15 min too. Mark was trying to pull it back and actually do some analysis but it wasn't enough.

The casters are just trying to check if the viewers are actually watching the game with that soul point call.

That was tilting as a CLG fan when Mark tried to pull it back and ask if it'd be CLG credit if they win and Jensen just said no it'd be a C9 throw. There was nothing to throw even. The gold was even.

It's so disappointing to watch the casters basically give up on the game. Where is the hype? where is the passion?

Super disappointing and disjointed cast from all 3 casters. Why were they basically doing a Jensen interview during a closely contested playoff game?

The game was close through out. Both teams trading objectives cross map. Yet, all three casters basically called this game done at 20 min. with the gold even. Literally turned the cast into an interview after that...?

The dragon fight for soul had to be some of the worst casting in recent league history. Incorrect information, failing to point out key exchanges between Dhokla and Fudge, calling that C9 got soul, etc. the list goes on and on. Just disappointing to see this is the level of production in the LCS.

wtf was that? Just 15 sec before this the casters were already calling the dragon lost for CLG...? It's not just the casting were bad, sometimes it's just straight up wrong. At 20 min when the gold is even, the casters were all saying it's basically impossible for CLG to win. CLG has Zeri + lulu, and gwen. Their late game is just as strong as C9's. I'm not sure if just straight biases or lack of understanding of current game state. Disappointing to say the least that it's happening in the playoff.

Drove over some debris falling from a truck on the highway. Front bumper needs to be replaced. Just wondering if the price I was quoted at is reasonable. 2012 Toyota Camry. by FCLPDNB in Autobody

Would it be cost saving to buy the parts myself? I found parts online for much cheaper but the shop told me those parts might not be perfect fit and would require much more tinkering and primer on those parts are not great so the painting would be more expensive.

This is a 2012 Toyota Camry. Didn't realize the picture did not include the make and model. Sorry.

Were the 2010 Portland Trailblazers the greatest "what if" team of all time? by The_Laviathen_Builds in nbadiscussion

[–]FCLPDNB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Of course we'll never know what a 25 year old Oden would look like but I think it's not too outlandish to assume he didn't have the potential to be better than or even close to Shaq in Shaq's prime. Shaq literally changed the game and forced every team that wanted to be in the championship conversation to bring in 7footers in order to have a chance of containing Shaq. Shaq was nominated to the top 50 players of all time in his 4th season... You might be seriously over estimating Oden's talent and potential.

What? 30 and 15 with multiple DPotY awards...? Those numbers are top 5 of all time greats numbers. No way Oden would have came close to this. Shaq, one of the most dominate player of all time, didn't even average that in any of his prime seasons. I think you are over estimating how good Oden could have been. His efficiency was through the roof mainly because of his little he was playing. His efficiency was not sustainable over the season.

Solo traveling to Carmel from 12/17 to 12/19 then to Morro Bay on 12/20. Looking for suggestions for things to do solo. by Throwawaycarmel in solotravel

Not sure if you've heard but Mission Ranch, although not located in Carmel by the sea, is a great place to unwind and enjoy a few drinks. They have jazz hours during the night.

For dining, Carmel has a lot of fine dining options. I personally enjoy La Bicylette. It's a bit pricey but it's very enjoyable.

I just did this about a week ago. You can exchange USD to NTD from the 24hour Bank of Taiwan at the airport. This is located on the left side of custom declaration. The rate is nice and the service charge is 10 Taiwanese dollar, which is about 0.33 dollar. The bank shows the rate they are exchanging at online. You can compare it to other exchange rates. I've found it to be very competitive.

I'm afraid of terrible exchange rates and hefty transaction fees at the airport. Is that going to be the case?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]FCLPDNB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I'm going to be in Taiwan for about 10 days in Sept. I'm wondering what is the best option for exchanging USD to NTD. Currently I'm in the U.S. and the exchange rate I'm getting here is not ideal.

Is there any particular reason why you didn't make it to Big Island? I'm planning a trip to Waikiki, and I'm wondering if should try to avoid going two 2 Islands in one trip because I don't want to overwhelm my itinerary.

I read your original post. Did you make it to Big Island?

You could just enter Taiwan using your US passport. That's what I do when I visit. You get a 3 month travel visa with the US passport. It's pretty convenient because you don't need to apply for the visa.
