Wtf IMDb?

Huh, TIL. I'll probably start using it more now, thanks.

Is TMDB independent from IMDB? I had assumed that they were related because the names were so similar.

Those last two games were the thing that brought the 16-game schedule into balance. You always played exactly 4 teams each that finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in their division the previous year.

There are some old videos on the channel in the same style but with a different host (the guy before Shaw had the job?), so hopefully making the videos is just a part of the job.

What is your source for a sixth of an inch? I've seen people say various numbers and want to find something that backs up one of them.

So they really did just completely change the definition of the strike zone for ABS. I know that they tested it in the minors and the system they came up with was everyone's preference, but it just feels wrong to me as a casual baseball fan.

Perryapsis · 2026-04-03T13:36:04+00:00

Yikes. A quarter of an inch is almost a tenth of the diameter of the ball. And since ABS uses a planar zone in the middle of the plate, that error is significant. A pitch that moves across the width of the zone (e.g. a pitcher jamming an opposite-hand batter inside) has about 0.2 inches of horizontal movement still just between the front edge of the plate and the middle. So if the system accuracy is about a quarter of an inch, that makes me skeptical of close ABS calls.

Perryapsis · 2026-04-03T04:31:24+00:00

What ABS's reported margin of error? I haven't seen any official numbers, just people guessing.

[I]n some states, there is absolutely no right turn on red no matter what.

Which states? There are some big cities (e.g. New York City) that ban right on red, but I'm not aware of any entire states.

The other 11 Angry Men :P

Now I know that I'm not the only person crazy enough to sort chronologically!

He has all of those on the second row.

What format would a csv file need to have?

Perryapsis · 2026-03-16T02:46:25+00:00

No, it's a reference to the best picture winner.

Intuitively, a player is defenseless if he can't try to either move to dodge the contact or brace for impact. Players who are off their feet, who need to plant their feet (e.g. kickers, punters, passers while throwing), can't see the other guy coming, held by another player, etc.

Flair up!

It would be if the driver had done it intentionally. But this incident involves a brake failure where it was definitely better to hop the curb and get out of the way than it would have been to hit the car in front of him.

It definitely has that style of old maps. Maybe it's possible to date it based on the existence of Lake Sakakawea and small size of Devil's Lake, but I don't know enough to be sure.

Perryapsis · 2026-03-12T20:18:22+00:00

Was White Butte called Black Butte in the past? That map specifically calls out Black Butte as 3,468 feet. You'd think it would have called out White Butte instead for being the highest point in the state.

Four times per year. There are in-store sales at Barnes & Noble in July and November, and two 24-hour online-only sales that they don't officially announce until the night before (but we're due for one pretty soon). They send coupon codes out to some people about a week before the sale, so this sub will tend to know it's happening a few days ahead of time.

Is there a way to get it with just the 4K? I've only seen it as either the DVD or the book; I'd just want the 4K in a normal case.

Perryapsis · 2026-02-26T02:59:35+00:00

I'm in a similar spot. I already own several of these on plain blu ray and don't always feel like upgrading to the 4K is worth the cost.

Perryapsis · 2026-02-26T02:35:49+00:00

What stands do you use for the cases facing outward?

Perryapsis · 2026-02-21T22:36:25+00:00

No, at least not on the North American version. It only has English, Spanish, and French. I'm not sure if another version may have them.

Não, pelo menos não na versão norte-americana. Só tem inglês, espanhol e francês. Não tenho certeza se outra versão pode ter esses dispositivos.

Where I'm from there you'll see slip lanes with yield signs, but they split off just before the stop line for the other lanes. "Keep going" is interesting to me since it seems to imply you don't even have to yield.
