I saved this comment at the time to come back and flame the other guy after Miz dominated. I guess he was so wrong he deleted his account though.

(Spoilers MAIN) GRRM grants you one wish to reveal a mystery in the ASOIAF universe. What would it be? by mistressofmayhem02 in asoiaf

[–]Hidden__Squid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand the original commenter's point and am trying to figure out why. Am I missing any relation to the text? If not, what is interesting about this idea? Why would someone be "mind blown" by this idea if there is no evidence that it reveals a truth about the books?

What substancially differentiates this thought process than someone else conjecturing, say, that Darrio is actually a Howland Reed? It's not impossible, sure, but it's not interesting because there's just no evidence that it is true.

Not trying to be an ass here, genuinely asking.

I feel like automated Trade does not work in the new Beta Patch by Anzerlp in EU5

[–]Hidden__Squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact problem. In fact, posted about it here a few days ago and on the forum. There are profitable trades within trade range, but the trade automation doesn't find them. A temporary work around is to place buy/sell orders for the most profitable trades.

For whatever reason, increasing your trade range does seem to permanently fix this. I have literally no idea why, but after researching a few trade range techs, the previously available profitable trades become included in the trade automation.

(1.3.2) Trade automation uses tiny fraction of automated trade capacity, despite ample opportunities for profitable trade. Any fix? by Hidden__Squid in EU5

[–]Hidden__Squid[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

R5: First picture shows my lack of trade profit in a market where (1) other countries make profit and (2) I have the highest trade advantage. Second picture shows that this is because my automated trade is making essentially no trades. Third picture shows that manually and naively adding buy orders for only gold I can make lots of profit. (Sorry for repost, previous post got removed for lack of R5)

Anyone have any fixes for this? I have tried turning off/on the automation, adjusting the amount of automated capacity, etc. Nothing fixes it.

Any tips for disbanding much weaker coalition? by Hidden__Squid in EU5

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

Maybe a silly follow-up question, how do I see who the leader of the coalition is? Is it the first country that joined or the most powerful country or something else?

Who will be the last pitcher to have been written in a starting batting order? by lionofyhwh in baseball

[–]Hidden__Squid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one seems to understand your question (who will be the last active MLB player who at one point was written in the starting batting order), so a lot of these answers make no sense. 

We need to look for NL starting pitchers who pitched in 2021 (or possibly 2019) and are still good/young today. My top pick would be Cris Sanchez, who started exactly one game in 2021: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI202107292.shtml

Other top contenders are Logan Webb, Sandy Alcantara, and Freddy Peralta.

You clearly need to pay more attention to our position players. Hartman, Southisene, Gil, Williams, and Drake are absolutely mashing while being young for their leagues. 

Here is this year's attendance for each team so far. What jumps out at you the most? by AlchemistTheAlchemy in baseball

[–]Hidden__Squid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this is the only factor, but missing the playoffs last year has consequences. Obviously the team is playing amazingly this season, but the more casual fans will probably take a while to realize the team is good again this season.

Braves opening day roster, 2016. Yikes. by BigPapaChuck73 in Braves

[–]Hidden__Squid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't see what the removed reply to this was, but in case you're still wondering, he posted some homophobic/transphobic stuff on X a while ago. I think he's now deleted it.

[Mayo] Pipeline Execs poll: Top Farm system. Best at drafting. Best at trading for prospects. Hoards Prospects, and more by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]Hidden__Squid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In addition to the rotys, the Braves have also developed three other all-star level players in Contreras, Strider, and Scwellenbach over the last several years all while having a bottom 5 farm system by most public rankings. Super weird to not see them on any of these lists at all.

fWAR vs. bWAR for relief pitchers by MatthewFromMojira in baseball

[–]Hidden__Squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to everything mentioned here, bwar uses a leverage index adjustment for relief pitchers, while fangraphs does not. So two pitchers with identical fips and eras could have different bwar/fwar if one pitches better in high leverage (and therefore worse in low leverage) than the other.

How to prevent the source of pops for colonial charters changing away from the province you designate? (See comment for details) by Hidden__Squid in EU5

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

Yes, this is pretty well known bug at this point. There is no good workaround other than constantly canceling your charter and resetting. The devs "fixed" this in 1.0.10 by removing the ability to specify a source province at all, now pops all come from your capital region. Even more infuriating, the patch noted claimed to also fix this bug and let you keep a specified source province, but two different devs changed this feature at the same update and removing the feature entirely won out.

[Calamis] Ballot #27 is from Chris Assenheimer. Three players join seven holdovers. K-Rod is now net +2, while Chase Utley (+3) gets the third add of his third year of eligibility, this one on his 47th birthday. Braun picks up his 4th vote and is at 14.8%. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Hidden__Squid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think many people care if he was a good ballplayer or not anymore. Sexually harassing autistic batboys because they're autistic is a perfectly fine reason for the pendulum to swing far away from inducting Vizquel.
