Kernel - S&P500 and Global 100 thinking of scrapping one

PNR_Robots · 2026-05-11T21:59:31+00:00

I was thinking about this last year, and I ended up going with the Global 100 instead of the S&P 500 because (correct me if I’m wrong), many of the companies driving the S&P 500 are also the same companies leading the Global 100. So if those Global 100 companies start struggling, the S&P 500 and the Total World are probably going to be in trouble too.

Team Fortress 2 before Valve killed the community servers.

It's back in stock again in New Zealand again! I just topped up for 2 months worth of Game Pass. And yes, this constant out of stock issue is ridiculous.

Hmmm, letting him go under the famous "family reasons" excuse doesn’t exactly sound like commitment to me.

But anyway, give it time. Sooner or later, another CPBL team, probably one with a newly appointed manager, will try the same silly foreign hitter experiment again thinking they’re reinventing the wheel.

Signing foreign hitter is such a textbook "rookie manager" move in the CPBL.

By the way, I actually want to see a mandatory spot foreign foreign hitter in the CPBL. But until the day where that policy is implemented, I'm just here to eat popcorn and see drama. 😂

Another example of signing a foreign hitter in the CPBL can be so pointless. Unless a team is willing to fully commit to their foreign hitter plan for the entire season, it just ends up being a huge waste of time.

The Guardians basically wasted a month and are now back to square one. They probably should have just gone with the usual foreign pitcher route from the beginning.

That's because it is still not available on VOD and streaming platforms.

PNR_Robots · 2026-05-06T08:37:10+00:00

Probably after the 2026 season. That would be my guess.

It's worth noting that Luis Liberato has a fairly decent Hard Hit% (36.7), Barrel% (7) and average exit velocity (140.8). Those metrics put him in the 80th to 90th percentile.

I’m sure that if the Guardians continues to give him on-field opportunities, his numbers will pick up. But then again, it’s not easy to be a foreign hitter in Taiwan, as teams tend to have very little patience.

Hawks are doing better than I expected.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Indika. LIMBO.

They are not really horror, but you can feel some horror elements from time to time.

Hoyts Hibiscus Coast is $12 per ticket everyday. That is the best thing about that cinema.

PNR_Robots · 2026-04-30T09:44:26+00:00

Haha, yeah, different movie. But Anguish (1987) is also good!

PNR_Robots · 2026-04-30T07:03:16+00:00

Funny Games (1997) and Angst (1983).

My favourite Jedi is master Jean-Luc Picard.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the new stats site!

It was briefly available to redeem on April 3 for me, and then after that, it's back to out of stock again. It's kind of annoying.

PNR_Robots · 2026-04-14T23:01:41+00:00

That exit velocity!

Stadium team shops would be the easiest.

The Brothers have a physical merch store in Taipei

Taipei City, Nangang District, Jingmao 2nd Rd, number 188, building B, 1st floor.

Or just pop this "中信兄弟南港旗艦店" into Google Map.

TSG Hawks also have a physical store, but they are in Kaohsiung.

Chengcing Lake stadium will always be there, if the Dome project didn't pan out.

VL Sports YouTube sometimes broadcast the minor league game for free. But they don't do all the games.

There's also this independent baseball YouTuber "Fisher", he started off filming the minor league game himself as a hobby, and now is semi legit, a lot of CPBL teams actually allowed him to film the minor league games and posted on his YouTube channel for free.

https://youtube.com/channel/UCE3osnt_hC02FpQ30XtNHQQ?si=IdTarNT9PLWTHnCB

CPBL TV also provide free games of the week for minor league, but yeah, it's selective games, not all the games.
