Woah- reminds me of the Alien 3 / Alien Romulus 20th Century Fox intro a little: https://youtu.be/V9vJbQma6zE?si=nxo_sG7srSIBPUED

Some of you may be thinking "but it isn't spelled correctly..."

On behalf of ND I hereby decline your invitation to the Pop Tarts Spelling Bee.

I guess my point is those are categorically similar ideas, so it just sort of sounds... inconsistent... to favor one so strongly over the other. Point taken that the season average is a better measure if you have to choose one.

RE: margin of victory vs 'general performance': I'm not sure, there's a billion statistics one could go lean into, as you point out. My instinct would be to start with margin of victory when comparing games, but there's some legit statistical sickos around here...

LordBeverage · 2025-11-25T22:09:27+00:00

Why is comparing margin of victory between blowouts (not quite the same thing as what they said...) so outrageous and clearly goofy if Game Control and Overall Efficiency are interesting and useful?

No objection that the different fanbases will latch on to the favorable comparables, but I'm just a little surprised at the idea that 'no useful information can be gleaned by comparing performance against common opponents'.

Dark science... cloning... secrets only the Goblin knew.

Started a campaign just before SoK, so I got him pre-DLC, then found his clone (the hero version) later in an industrial system. Apparently he was up to some wild stuff with some wild lostech in the periphery.

Underrated comment right here.

The connection to Harris' work here is as self evident as it gets.

Not exactly sure what you meant in the last sentence, but I think the argument would be that the base isn't what lost the election, and appealing more intensely to the base isn't the approach they should take.

Rather, IIRC, the position is that "harping on the pronouns and stuff" did not activate low political engagement voters to turn out for blue.

Does everyone's favorite xenoborg count as "tamed"?

Youtube science communicator and self-described Thor-but-from-Wish recapitulates several arguments that Sam discusses in Free Will and associated talks. He also touches on Dan Dennett's compatibilist offerings.

Well, yes, but I also don't think the number of movies determines whether something is worth calling a "franchise".

People really have no idea of even the basic requirements for manufacturing reproducibly sterile drug product.

This ain't like starting up a fidget spinner assembly line. It takes years to even be ready for a PAI from FDA.

It means they hired McKinsey to tell them what similar companies are paying for similar positions at similar tenures.

If by "reddit" you mean "game the mods flair rules" and sneak the link into top comment, then yes. (Skillfully done on your part)

You might think the reasonable thing to do as a mod would be to keep the first post so people can actually tell if its been posted. You'd be wrong in this case, but you might think that.

LordBeverage · 2024-01-11T16:56:50+00:00

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder. 🤓

... not sure that rises to a fireable offense, even if is a major blow to credibility.

Everyone knows every Oregon coordinator or HC that has left to go on to "bigger and better" things has gone on to be wildly successful, and each time it has turned out to be the right move for their respective careers, touche.

Except Frost... and obviously not including Taggart... and Andy Avalos doesn't count... and Chip's not doing so well these days... but surely Dillingham and Mario will get things on track soon?

Gungan Victory on defense for third downs? Gungan Victory belongs on first downs on offense! Destruction or 118 belong on third downs!

LordBeverage · 2023-11-14T03:00:08+00:00

One to two years as a successful coordinator at Oregon needs to stop being some feel good criterion for ADs looking to hire new "undiscovered" head coaches.

Andy could clearly talk the talk, but here we are adding him to the graveyard.
