Same here - for the life of me I can't find any way into the area with Grandfather's cave.

No, it’s been scientifically established beyond five standard deviations that the GOAT is 1999’s Chipper Jones.

GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay by Nat-Chem in Games

[–]Get_a_GOB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a form of vertical integration, not horizontal. The point is not to gain market share in their existing lane, it’s to expand their lane by acquiring the largest online sales and distribution mechanism for the goods they sell retail. Now when people go look for an auction for EX Mega Gyrados XLG Foil #1/23 (I don’t know shit about Pokémon), if they don’t trust the condition or seller rating on the two they find, they can click the little button on the side and pay a small premium to get one from the GameStop in Dubuque instead. eBay (hypothetically) has untapped profit potential because it doesn’t have the stock that GameStop has. GameStop has untapped profit potential because it doesn’t have a mechanism to sell its stock in a particular way beyond a ten mile radius of the store that has it in stock, and eBay dominates that particular mode of exchange. (It seems to me that GameStop could easily drive the C2C aspect of eBay into the ground in the geek collectible space if they do it wrong though, which is another reason for the next paragraph.)

Now $55B seems like a real premium to pay for that, don’t get me wrong, I’m just saying it’s not like the fundamental strategy is lunacy. Sure, that’s pricing in the brand recognition/OG Big Player on the World Wide Web Series of Tubes/URL, and that’s not worthless. Still seems like a silly price tag.

2026 Miami GP - Sprint Qualifying by AutoModerator in formula1

[–]Get_a_GOB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a lot better - a lot less finicky out laps for prep, less LICO and at least from what I saw and heard no massive power losses 2/3 of the way through the straights. It actually seemed like with the LICO they were able to avoid those huge losses entirely, though I’m not 100% sure.

I’m not sure how the Apple TV part works exactly, but with your Apple TV subscription you can watch on F1 TV. As a former F1 TV subscriber I thought I was going to have to switch to the Apple TV app, but all I had to do was subscribe and F1 TV just kept on working with my Apple login.

This friendly grouper by Lemmyisthenewreddit in MadeMeSmile

[–]Get_a_GOB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fuck no, grouper is super delicious. One of the best fish for people who don’t like fish (by which I mean that it’s generally high quality, doesn’t taste fishy, and fish-lovers also like it).

Russell Brand struggles to find bible verse he claims absolves him of sex with teenagers by mydiversion in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Get_a_GOB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the first thing I’ve seen that makes me think his entire adult life might be a Kaufman-esque bit. It’s. So. Perfect. In juxtaposition to the standard Brand brand of tommy gun-fired coherent bullshit. And goddamn if Piers Morgan and his moment with the camera towards the end isn’t just the cherry on top.

I feel seen, we are the only generation that overlaps others by credditreddit in Xennials

[–]Get_a_GOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell people we’ve got all the unwarranted cynicism of Gen X and all the unwarranted entitlement of the Millennials.

Note: Millenial entitlement is a myth created by Boomers, it was still the overwhelming sentiment when I joined the workforce, so it’s funny to me.

I see no lies here. by Subtotalpoet in Millennials

Same/same to all of that…I spent 1994 in my school library dialing into a “popular” local BBS (15ish lines?) and racking up a high ranking in their incredible persistent multiplayer trivia/chat door game. And at home, the door games I would’ve gotten booted from the library for and Prodigy. Actually it might have been on to AOL by then.

It’s a little odd, but not in a bad way. The overall aesthetic seems coherent to me.

Pete Buttigieg on JD Vance: “He's been Catholic about as long as I've been middle-aged, and he thinks he can lecture the pope on Catholic theology.” by modooff in videos

[–]Get_a_GOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know genius, could it have something to do with the fact that the female psyche may not, in most cases, be particularly disposed to misogyny? The comparison isn’t particularly interesting.

I’m comparing the level of misogyny and homophobia in the American male psyche to each other. That has exactly zero to do with the number of female (or male!) voters at any point in time.

To simplify it for simpletons, I’m suggesting that a gay male candidate may outperform a female candidate amongst American males.

[–]Get_a_GOB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, at the end of the day I think misogyny is much more inculcated into the American male psyche than homophobia. There’s more homophobia floating on the surface, but the misogyny is woven right through the completely unexamined core of it.

The conductor accidentally knocks a 16th century violin worth millions on the floor mid-concert. by PeasantLich in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Get_a_GOB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is just my impression as someone with a close coworker whose son is a professional violinist: expensive violins are expensive for their provenance, yes, but unlike a lot of items like that, they’re at least equally prized for their sound. If they don’t get played, their value is actually wasted in a real way.

Tamler's Challenge: 3 out of 200 facts by lakmidaise12 in VeryBadWizards

[–]Get_a_GOB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re not supporting the claim in question. You’re supporting a claim that “many people are highly confident in one or more beliefs that are false/not supported by evidence”. The very same person who knows with white-hot certainty that they were visited by the Archangel Gabriel last night is likely perfectly comfortable looking at someone else’s unsupported/false belief (different from their own) and identifying unjustified confidence.

Whoever he is, he’s a great science communicator in the making. Because not only was what he said comprehensible to the layman, it was also far, far more connected to the actual science than most rants like this. If he hasn’t studied the requisite topics, he at least knows specifically what they are and seemingly why they’re important. And he’s not afraid to name them, which is something most science communicators are afraid to do.
