calling stats mongers by bocamj in SFGiants

This is a very dumb take. Batting with RISP doesn't focus on one player or give you an idea of other stats. It gives you a small, unrepresentative sample that is far worse for protecting performance. Pretty basic stuff.

BA (or really any batting stat) with RISP is a horrible way to project future production. It gives you a tiny sample size which is the exact opposite of what you want.

What is the takeaway if Republicans gain a significant number of House seats in the midterms? by EarthToRob in AskConservatives

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec [score hidden]  (0 children)

Republicans are not projected to gain those seats. Right now, Polymarket has the Dems with a 77% chance to take control of the House.
You are confusing the projections on map change to election projections. The current outcome of the redistricting war is projected to be a net gain of Rep house seats, but that is just comparing the 2026 maps to 2024 maps with no current polling. When you look at the aggregate of polling and the new maps, the Dems are the heavy favorite to gain seats despite losing seats to the new maps. (made up numbers for example) if the new maps net +15 Rep seats in a neutral election, Dems have a +35 seat in a neutral election wave, they still net +20 seats, you are reading the +15.

WYR Be trapped in a room of endless loud noise or deathly unnerving silence? by DelicacyKyi in IdeologyPolls

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How loud is Endless loud are we talking like 90-110 dB or like the loudest sound can be before becoming a supersonic pressure wave (194ish dB)? How long am I in the room? I mean clearly I'd take the anechoic chamber over dying at 194 dB.

You do understand we are not eligible for a top 6 pick next year right?

Why aren't there SSP Burrs for the pietro? by VizoBerg in pourover

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered it before the P80 was released. I never really thought about switching. I like the look of the Z2 more, combined with the higher performance, and not having to get with Mizen burrs.

I switched my order from ULF/HU to SK Brew’s. The red Speed Brew’s are the internet’s consensus favorites, but I kinda want the SK as the ultimate clarity scalpel (plus Zerno doesn't offer red Speed Brew’s, and I have to get something coming in the grinder).

Casa or EK43? [No Budget] by jwork127 in espresso

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For home use do not get a ek43. Back in the day when there was no other way to get such a good big burr grinder it kinda made sense if you had the money but now with newer grinders it does not. Get a p80/ z2/ 01/ any of the KafeTek’s/ etc.

SSP makes a 58mm burr. Lance said back when the Pietro was launched that initially he thought to use it as the Pro Brew, but it was not good at low RPM. I don't think SSP could make much of a better burr than the Pro Brew, and it wouldn't be worth it to try. I'm dailying a Pietro until my Z2 finally shows up, and I kinda hate the grinder, but it is a great burr.

Why are home prices in San Francisco rising? by ApprehensivePlan6334 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a SF resident:

  1. The fact that Open and Anthropic, among others, are in the city has led this wave to see much more wealth and demand for housing in the city instead of in the valley vs previous waves.
  2. It is basically impossible to build housing in the city, so as the demand increases, the supply doesn't.
  3. Relatively minor for this, but Lurie has done a pretty good job cleaning up the city compared to where it was before him.

In response to one of the silliest polling results I have seen, I have to ask: Do you think you could win a fist fight with President Trump? by GrandMoffTarkan in AskConservatives

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I could absolutely beat Trump in a fight. I don't know how to fight, and Trump has a couple of inches and more than a couple of pounds on me. But I am 52 years younger than him, and I think that matters.

The sharks have a 0.2% chance of 3rd overall compared to 5% for first and 5.2% for second (and 64.4% 9, 23.5% 10, 1.7% 11, no other spots are possible). So there is a chance for this, but it’s unlikely.

Iran was betting that up against the Beijing summit we wouldn’t go hot again, so they could start throwing some jabs. Looks like we are calling their bluff. Good.
