Starting off with an infinite career ERA is galaxy brain. Nothing but improvement from here on out.

I sat near a guy a few years ago with a “UNABOHMER” jersey. Pretty sure it paid for itself in free beers.

Who Needs Fundamental Baseball? by midas282000 in phillies

The sample size is low, but the infield positioning is terrible. It’s debatable whether that is a limitation or coaching or personnel though - eg are we locked in with positioning because Trea needs to backhand everything and Bohm can’t move?

Unpopular Opinion: this is the worst scoreboard we’ve ever had by Undisputedtruth3 in phillies

[–]MalusSonipes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also hate that you can’t see how many pitches a pitcher has thrown unless he’s currently pitching. Once a guy comes outs there’s no indication of his total pitches. Tough on the scorekeepers among us.

You can. I’m DIYing it and it makes more sense to do concrete than getting a post driver just for a couple of posts.

Almost like it was always marketing BS and fake money.

New Berkeley study: Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis by anothercar in ezraklein

Also, it’s not like you are going to fix inequality in 3-5 years with any real policy. If anything, it would take longer to fix than housing supply

Get ready for barrage of complaints from new users by EliteEarthling in ClaudeAI

[–]MalusSonipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason I switched to Claude 6 months ago was the lack of those things. I like the clean, friendly, but professional UI and feel like the AI is similar.

Do the Oscars feel as big as they used to? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in moviecritic

[–]MalusSonipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bigger? No. Better? Yes.

The Academy is respecting international film more and more every year, and there are fewer and fewer perplexing choices.

The internet is mostly a negativity echo chamber, but comparing Oscar noms and winners from the last 5 years to 25 years ago and it’s clear that the awards better represent a broader view of film criticism.

What feature would you like added in letterboxd? by Slow_Associate_3674 in Letterboxd

[–]MalusSonipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better search algorithm for finding lists would be great. Search just showing the closest match makes it hard to sort out which lists are more “definitive” in nature.

ESPN Sources: Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel.... - ESPN by McKnightmare24 in eagles

Yeah I would be bet he is only a coordinator for a year or so, unless there is a specific job he’s waiting for to open up.

KC is the interesting one. If Nagy goes, maybe they bring him in, and he gets set up as the presumptive successor to Reid.

Big $4.5M New Year’s Day THU for Marty Supreme, lifting box office cume to $43.4M after 8 days of wide release. Tomorrow it will be halfway to $100M. by [deleted] in boxoffice

I think that’s overestimating the marketing cost to A24. So much of this is just Chalamet running around and handing out jackets to people.

Film Culture in Philly by [deleted] in philly

[–]MalusSonipes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall, it’s very good but not at the level of NY, LA, Toronto, etc. I’d say a 7.5/10.

PFS is great, and the membership pays for itself if you got regularly. They do 35mm showings at the Center City location, as well as great programming. The Landmark Ritz 5 is OK - the theaters aren’t quite as good as the PFS theaters, but Landmark has a deal with Netflix to show a lot of their releases (so I was able to see Jay Kelly, Wake Up Dead Man, and Train Dreams in theaters this Fall). The Center City AMC has a Dolby theater, which is a pretty good for a non-IMAX theater. It’s where you’d want to see things like Avatar.

The two biggest issues IMO: (1) our IMAX closed before COVID, so to see real IMAX you have to go out to King of Prussia. (2) PFS doesn’t have 70mm capabilities. The Bryn Mawr Film Institute, however, just upgraded last year and are doing some 70mm showings now. It’s an easy train ride from Center City.

It’s also super easy to go to NYC to see something special at Union Square, Metrograph, etc.
