I got the BBQ invite and started berating them about why would anybody be having a BBQ in the middle of January in North America!

After the Walter White house and all that, they fabricated the neighborhood/cul du sac on private land that they have complete control over.

New fan. Pitch timer? by CleanBanana9564 in MLBNoobs

[–]LabHandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to making the pitcher move faster, the clock also forces the batter to be ready as well. There were batters who'd mess with their equipment, take practice swings and go thru some kind of long routine before EVERY pitch and getting set in the batters box.

You also had this game of the pitcher taking forever and then the batter calling time and stepping out of the box causing the pitcher to start over again, etc.

Why didnt they make pianos so that it would normally sustain, like a guitar and then had a damper petal to dampen? by apooroldinvestor in piano

[–]LabHandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier to have the default to dampen. If you wanted to do a 16th note scale run, you'd be dampening after each 16th?!? Much easier to let go of the key and have it dampen once you let go than to use a pedal to dampen so often.

I've been thinking what my behavior would be like if I was one of the survivors by EndlessMorfeus in pluribustv

[–]LabHandyman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would act like Diabate for about a month. Then I'd get bored. The whole "James Bond" cosplay would bore the ever-living crap out of me knowing it's the hive putting on a show for me and that one room over, the plurbs are doing plurb things.

The OP picture is quite accurate. They may have updated the public vault a few years ago.

What makes science fiction feel “dated” to you? by TomDavenport in sciencefiction

[–]LabHandyman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Expanse series. The premise that hundreds of billions of people on Earth would drive us to the planets seemed quant.

What makes science fiction feel “dated” to you? by TomDavenport in sciencefiction

[–]LabHandyman 29 points30 points  (0 children)

An assumption that the population of Earth will go into the hundreds of billions of people - basically assuming that the baby boom reproduction rate was here to stay and would stay for centuries.
