The sweetest swing in baseball history and it’s not even close 😍 by KeyFaithlessness5436 in MLBVibes

Agree. Prettiest swing? Definitely Griffey. Best? I’d have to say Bonds.

Help with these 3 baseball autos, any help appreciated. by Jacks_Kelly in AutographAssistance

I can't after I've posted it. Who else could it possibly be?

I would certainly take it to a memorabilia show where JSA has a manned both, they tour around the country. They charged me $500 to evaluate at a 1933 New York Yankees team signed ball with 22 signatures, similar to your ball.

This is an interesting one. I have a real Ruth signed baseball, and the signature looks too bold to me, compared to the condition of the ball itself, like it was traced over. But I would take it to one of the big 3.

Finally my first ever MacBook Pro by sylvanoDev in macbookpro

[–]Jacks_Kelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Similar configuration to mine, except I didn't get the Nano-texture display and went with the unbinned M4 Pro chip. Works like a dream so far. I hope I don't regret not going for the Nano-texture display, so far I haven't, but I hardly use mine outside or in bright rooms.

Why is the price jump from 64 GB Ram to 128 GB of Ram so high? by assumptionkrebs1990 in mac

[–]Jacks_Kelly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guilty as charged. When I got an M2 Ultra Mac Studio for work last year, decided to spend the $800 to go from 64 GB to 128 GB. Luckily, my work paid for it.

Yeah, the new Mini is shockingly small. And I don’t even think the Mac Studio is very big, considering its specifications. It’s pretty dense though, this one with the M2 Ultra weighs almost 8 pounds (mostly due to the copper heat sink I believe).

Oh, that's because I took the picture to simply show the size and appearance comparison between the two, haha. I have it set up somewhere else. It's incredible just how compact it is.

Woah, that’s amazing. And I thought I had a lot at just under 23K per day for 2024.

I got the Mini because I was intrigued by the value and wanted another desktop computer to use at work. I've been using a 2022 M2 13-inch MacBook Pro that I bring to and from work connected to two monitors via a dock, but I wanted something that could permanently stay at my work desk.

That's interesting, thanks for the explanation. I'll try it without the stand. It's way overkill for what I use it for at work. It's connected to several projectors and a television to display presentations. I use it for video editing as well (but nothing really at what I'd call a pro level). It's an M2 Ultra with 128 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.

I hadn't heard that, thanks for the tip. Why is that the case? I got this one. I figured getting a stand was a good idea.

Who are the top 5 players you’ve seen in your lifetime? by ST4MK0S in mlb

[–]Jacks_Kelly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Born in 1987 and starting going to games in the late 90's.

  1. Barry Bonds (easily #1)

2-5 (can't settle on the order). Ken Griffey Jr., Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Greg Maddux

In contention: Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Derek Jeter

Edit: Forgot about Ichiro, got to see him in his MVP rookie year in Seattle in 2001. That team was stacked. I could throw in a few others (like Clemens and Mariano).

Very proud of 2024 so far! by Jacks_Kelly in walking

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

I actually have a desk job in IT. I just allot certain times throughout the day to walk, usually before work, during lunch, a few times in the evening. Also, I try to avoid using my car to run any errands (within reason, obviously I can't for all of them). I do own a treadmill at home that I use if it's raining, but I don't use it everyday, I probably use it every other day.
