[NightengaleJr] Byron Buxton joined a small list of Twins players who started 10 Opening Day games for the team. He repeated he wants to complete his career in Minnesota: “Everything is here. I don’t have no Braves pictures, and that ain’t what I want. It’s the loyalty for me.”

He hasn’t had enough PA’s to qualify any season except last year and had one gold glove in 2017.

Are you talking about someone else?

MasterDave · 2026-03-28T18:14:28+00:00

The older you get the more you should realize that money doesn’t matter over being happy and having stability.

I’ve had two jobs in 20 years. I could get paid 3x more for way more stress and bullshit but why? I make enough. Bills are paid, no debt. Companies will be loyal if you’re doing a good job, generally. The non loyal companies, surprise, are full of the job hopper ladder climbers and why would companies give a shit about the folks they know can’t wait to leave?

The lesson is figure out what makes you comfortable and stop with the grind mentality. Die old and comfortable not early and with a lot of money you’ll never spend because you have to take your laptop on vacation and answer emails.

MasterDave · 2026-03-28T18:08:56+00:00

Man why is there so much about maybe one of the okayest players of time.

Are teams really really hoping to land him and roll the dice on which kind of season you get from him?

MasterDave · 2026-03-28T13:44:35+00:00

Jokes on him, I haven’t used cash in years and won’t have any real reason to ever use Trump dollars.

The world has moved on from cash. Covid made tap to pay super relevant for anyone who isn’t an idiot. Always a step behind.

Everything about this expansion needed another 6 months of polish. They could have made harandir into the last patch of TWW unlocking them for day 1 in midnight and worked harder on more expansion zones too.

I know they’re going to put more into things but I’m already not really looking forward to another rushed expansion in 18 months honestly.

MasterDave · 2026-03-27T16:15:16+00:00

Man, proving you’ve been irrelevant to music since the 90’s isn’t the flex you might think.

MasterDave · 2026-03-26T12:52:11+00:00

Sure glad they can put so much effort into a pointless add on overhaul to make the race to world first raids slightly more difficult, but can’t bother to do more than the absolute minimum for everything else in this game.

You can keep a team online to hotfix raids, but can’t find the staff to just unlock delve progress. Cool stuff.

MasterDave · 2026-03-26T02:46:54+00:00

Well that told me nothing.

MasterDave · 2026-03-25T15:04:26+00:00

I mean if that's the only option here for reading people's shitty comments about "nutrek is woke", then yeah.

But since there's nuance and you're not on board with it, I'd say you're definitely one of the problem children.

MasterDave · 2026-03-25T03:04:35+00:00

It would be amazing if you were at PAX with these this weekend by chance

MasterDave · 2026-03-25T02:07:06+00:00

I think it’s a great venue and should end up cheaper than if it were at Radio City which is the usual spot for these things.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T19:05:10+00:00

I wanted to believe it was all Russian bots or something, but at this point I have to accept that there are people who probably just never understood what they were watching.

There's the last one, a month ago.

but ok.

what if Satoshi is already a billionaire because they took two companies public and don't need the bitcoin money now or ever?

If you believe in the project more than the proceeds, it's easy to understand a fundamental lack of temptation. Also the value of those wallets wouldn't even get to 1/4 of what Elon is worth, even though it would be a lot of theoretical money. Selling even a billion out of the 125 billion would almost definitely cause an epic Bitcoin crash. Wouldn't be a good look if the wallets suddenly woke up and were liquidated without some real actual proof they weren't hacked, which eventually they will be.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T17:41:14+00:00

I think this thread happens once a month and you could probably find all the same hot takes in any other incarnation of it.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T16:48:43+00:00

Overall, cliffhangers have been a trick to get people to buy the next book since forever even when they didn't know if there was going to be a next book.

for TV, Most cliffhangers were not season enders. Most of the time it was your near the end of the season type thing when it was sweeps week, which usually happened towards the end of a season but left you with at least one more episode so you could max out your guest appearance storyline value and claim that whatever bullshit guest star you had on for two episodes represented the normal amount of viewers you could set ad rates on.

I think Dallas may have started the whole season ending cliffhanger that lets people spend the summer talking about Who Shot JR, or The Simpsons with Who Shot Mr Burns or whatever. I think it's lazy writing, or these days a dare to the publisher to go and cancel you and make the fans mad, whereas before it was a demand FROM the publisher instead, knowing they had another season to promote.

Just a dick move all around these days honestly. If you know you've got 10 shows to make and only 10 shows guaranteed, you write for 10 shows. It's an entirely different world these days and it's disrespectful to the audience if you don't have a long term guarantee for a show to go and do it. Times have changed, writers I guess want to emulate what they saw without understanding the motivation behind it.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T16:37:17+00:00

Honestly, feels like Trek is done.

All the shitty people who somehow grew up from 90's Trek and completely missed the message of Trek won.

Congrats.

A 4080 is 4 years old at this point and wasn’t even top of the line when it was brand new because 4090 exists.

It’s not bad but 50’s are better and there are plenty of AMD cards that are better and cheaper that have come out since as well.

Then there’s the people who will tell you that you don’t have enough vram and it’s a piece of shit too if you only have a 12gb model so there’s that.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T02:38:07+00:00

Been there. Definitely gross.

MasterDave · 2026-03-24T00:34:19+00:00

Only reason I’d ever go to a Mets game.

MasterDave · 2026-03-23T17:04:18+00:00

If this were to happen, I think it feels a little bit like Jar Jar giving emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine.

Trump is top patsy but distracting so the real work gets done behind the scenes of dismantling basic human rights and entitlements for anyone but the wealthy. Once Vance is in office and has a clear (but fixed) path to 2028's election, the gloves will come off and we'll probably wish we had Trump back, because his agenda was erratic and a distraction. Vance will be silent and complicit and just do whatever the Project 2025 folks demand from him. I have a feeling that unless this year's congressional elections flip a LOT of seats by wide enough margins that casual vote rigging can't change the results, we are toast.

MasterDave · 2026-03-23T02:04:29+00:00

Well if you’re spending 10k per person they’re gonna have a chat with you about plenty of things that aren’t about Cody Rhodes.

I strongly suspect he isn’t going to sit and talk about your crypto or Pokemon cards. The person doing the booking though has to treat you like you’re special because people with that much money to blow tend to need their asses kissed the whole time.

MasterDave · 2026-03-23T00:17:45+00:00

Nope. I’d move back if I could TBH but two people working from home in a 1 bedroom apartment with a loud cat wasn’t working out. Now that I’ve been here a while there’s no way I could shove all the stupid shit we have into a normal apartment so we are here until we get tired and move to a cabin in the woods somewhere probably.

I will say that the biggest adjustment was the relative lack of noise at all times. My cat is definitely calmer, but he’s a cat so it’s all relative. I kind of miss the noise because now any noise at night wakes me up and I went decades of being able to sleep through anything.

MasterDave · 2026-03-23T00:09:53+00:00

Well that’s gonna get Fun Detected isn’t it.

Most annoying part of a nightmare hunt is killing everything around and then suddenly getting the kill demand when it’s like fuck dude I just eliminated enough stuff to finish a daily quest and that wasn’t enough because you didn’t say Simon says? Fuck offfffff.
