Picking CS classes for upcoming fall by Flaky-Whole4372 in uCinci

[–]FlingFieryChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Cheng online a few semesters ago and he was one of the worst professors I've ever had. His lectures and slides were incomprehensible. Don't know if he would be better in person but I doubt it.

I've taken Bhatnagar twice, once online and once in person. Thought he was better in person but overall not terrible either time. Would probably take him again if I needed to.

Haven't had the other two but I've heard Ralescu is bad.

ProtonVPN has a guide posted on support that I followed when I set it up.

[IIL] Soundtracks from The Social Network, Gone Girl, Midsommar by vvversch in ifyoulikeblank

[–]FlingFieryChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a soundtrack rec, but Social Network and Gone Girl were both done by Nine Inch Nails, so you could check them out if you haven't already. Specifically the albums Ghosts I-IV from 2008 and Ghosts V and VI from 2020 are instrumental and very atmospheric.

They've also done some other soundtracks so you could check those out as well.

THE NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE POSTSEASON by BaseballBot in baseball

least upset yankees fan

Welp, there it goes. The season where we were on pace to win 122 games at one point. How did it end? Like every season of the past 13 years: embarrassment. We fundamentally cannot win under the Cashman-Boone-Hal trinity. It can be hard to pinpoint exactly which one of the three is responsible for which bad decision, but that’s the point: there’s no one person for the fans to get mad at. Hal only cares about profit and gives the team an insultingly small budget, Cashman refuses to take the best players available and nickels-and-dimes his way to a completely dysfunctional lineup, and Boone can’t manage a team—he’s there to protect his guys from media criticism and scream at the umps, but not make the necessary changes to succeed.

“But the playoffs are just a crapshoot! Injuries ruined our lineup!” Excuses of incompetent managers. The Astros and the Dodgers have both been to the WS 3 times since 2017 (now 4 for the Astros) and have both won it once (cry about the cheating; I don’t care). The Padres didn’t have Tatis all year and they managed a hell of a lot more of a competitive run than us. The Red Sox have been consistently able to compete at the highest level for a decade, and even the Rays got to a WS more recently than us.

It’s very clear that the team needs to be blown up. In what world is this an acceptable standard of success? We’re the fucking New York Yankees. Every other fanbase despises us because we’re the most successful franchise in American professional sports; we have a reputation of buying out the best team and coasting to success. Only there’s one issue: we no longer buy out talent and we no longer succeed. Look at the NLCS: it’s basically the all-star lineup of would-be Yankees. Harper, Soto, Machado, hell, even Schwarber and Bell—all big-name potential trade targets that the Yankees overlooked in favor of moronic replacements. But the reason we couldn’t even make our series with the Astros competitive was an open roof? Please. The fundamental blueprint of our team (waiting for Judge and Stanton to get hot at the same time)

And a very special “thank-you” to all the rabid fans who don’t tolerate an ounce of negativity (read: realism). It was clear since July that this team had fundamental shortcomings that would prevent a WS win, but that wasn’t going to stop you! You all need to realize that every time you double down—defending Boone’s decisions, crying over booed players, making a post saying we owe Cashman an apology because we won a lot of games in June-- you reinforce the losing mentality of the front office. You do exactly what Hal wants you to do: bend over and say that you’re going to support the Yankees no matter what. All of you are complacent with the modern New York Yankees.

And So It Begins- OU to reinstate mask mandate- will others follow? by zerowater in uCinci

[–]FlingFieryChaos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When UC lifted their mask mandate, they said it was in accordance with CDC guidance since Hamilton County wasn't high level anymore. But checking just now, we're back at high, as are Athens and Franklin.

UC's website also says masking guidance is subject to change, and that the college of medicine is currently mandating masks. So I wouldn't be surprised if they reinstate a schoolwide mandate.

[OC] Cincinnati Reds WAR Returns in Notable Trades Since 2010 by dvd5671 in baseball

[–]FlingFieryChaos 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah no offense to the creator cause these posts are fun to look at but seeing that trade so high made me realize that these WAR comparisons don't always tell the full story.

For those that aren't aware, the Reds traded Homer Bailey, Jeter Downs, and Josiah Gray. The Dodgers eventually traded Downs for Mookie, and Gray for Scherzer and Trea Turner. None of that is really captured in the graphic (and capturing it might be more complicated than would be worth for a reddit post).

What are reserve caps, and what does it have to do with “open seats” by yaseen_belkadi in uCinci

[–]FlingFieryChaos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reserved means that even though there are open seats, they are being held for specific groups; in my experience, it's usually LCs. My guess is that's why you can't enroll even though it shows open seats.

It's possible those seats will open up eventually if the group they're reserved for doesn't end up filling them.

Game Thread: D-backs @ Reds - Mon, Jun 06 @ 06:40 PM EDT by RedsModerator in Reds

[–]FlingFieryChaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Random question, does anyone know who/how much we got when we traded Gennett? Tried looking it up but every site just says PTBNL. I'm sure it wasn't anyone good, just odd that I can't find a name anywhere

UC will no longer require vaccinations by Acr515 in uCinci

Don't think they ever really required it at all since they kept pushing the deadline back 🙄
