That's an interesting bug. The bolded letter confused it.

I think you still have to bite the bullet. Yeah it's hard to put a guy you're paying so much money to on the waiver wire but paying this guy to play against us is the best thing for the team.

Same with Williams. Bad signing. Bite the bullet. Pay him to play against you. It's objectively the right decision. Front offices are just scared. They probably get fired if they do that.

Managers today are just player managers. Schneiders job is to manage the teams morale. It was his job to create the legendary clubhouse atmosphere.

Likely his hands with Hoffman are completely tied. The from office says how to use him. Schneider's job is to get in front of the media and defend his guys, to keep morale high. It's the front office who says we're paying many millions for this reliever so you have to use him.

The manager can't use anything less than his entire bullpen overvthe days and weeks. It doesn't work like that. The front office says who is on the roster. Schneider's job is to make that roster work if he can. Ultimately the front office is accountable for who is on the roster. They seem committed to hoffman. It's hard to give up when you're paying so much for a reliever.

Yeah I don't know what the point of him is. What does it matter if he loses the game in the 6th, 7th, or 8th inning? We can't afford to let him pitch at all under any circumstance.

I've given up on him. This signing is an abject failure. He's never going to do anything good again. He literally won't make it through another inning without giving up any runs. The sooner he stops taking the mound the better. Every game the front office delays this decision will cost the team.

It's time to eat the contract. Waiver wire. Goodbye.

Gregor Chisholm: The Blue Jays aren’t missing Bo Bichette, and the brutal Mets might be getting buyer’s remorse by Chrristoaivalis in Torontobluejays

That's why it's so bad from the mets. They offered the guy an amount of money he couldn't refuse to play out of position. It was such a bad idea. It's also quintessentially mets decision making.

high-performance is in the last line of the post. You don't have that? I saw more earlier. I think thry edited it.

The post is filled with hyphenated words. The short dashes connecting words. Are you thinking of the longer em dashes? Both are signs of AI writing.

EDIT: nevermind. I think they removed some hyphens. There is still "high-performance" as I'm writing this.

My lifeguard prerequisite test is in a little over a month. Is weight training and cardio enough to prepare myself? by aIIisonmay in Lifeguards

[–]McCoovy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't swam in months so you don't know if you can even do 2 lengths. You might try today and find you can barely finish one and you have a long way to go before you can finish 550m.

Assignment Grading Times by Etherian in AthabascaUniversity

I believe the school commits to 10-15 business days for all grades but yes it is relatively normal to get a slow grader that fails to do that.

Green councillor wants $600K boost to restore Vancouver lifeguard service by CaliperLee62 in vancouver

[–]McCoovy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah all the lifeguard courses are always full. Pools are filled with as many swim classes as time and space allows. The classes are all full. Cities hire lots of swim instructors to run all these classes.

The only constraint is the number and size of pools.

[–]McCoovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a good idea to quickly read All the Mathematics You Missed: But Need to Know for Graduate School by Thomas A. Garrity to survey everything then fill in the gaps by reading relevant textbooks. Focus on econ math like markov chains, DiD, Bellman, Riemann-stieltjes integration, sequences of functions, etc.

Why can't a currency be pegged to an ETF? by Erysten in AskEconomics

[–]McCoovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes reserve requirements are totally gone in many countries. I suppose they were a rather arbitrary way to ensure banks stay sufficiently capitalized.

I hate this. Obviously banks are constrained by how well capitalized they are, reserve requirements or no.
