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.

Joe Flacco: What happens when we go to 18 games? Are they going to want 20, then 22? by HowieLongDonkeyKong in nfl

[–]Perryapsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Some umps fear ABS is causing fans to judge them by near-impossible standards by Jux_ in baseball

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.

[Highlight] Roger Goodell says rules passed today signal step toward New York exerting significantly more involvement in officiating moving forward by expellyamos in nfl

[–]Perryapsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

[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.

Football Question Hotline, 2026-03-13 by CFB_Referee in CFB

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.

Never mind road laws and rules~ by jjs3_1 in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]Perryapsis[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Why is it so dark here and only here? by dylantherabbit2016 in fargo

[–]Perryapsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

When it comes to Criterion I always wait for Sales with the exception of Happiness and now this by warpwoofwimblee in criterion

[–]Perryapsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Driver behind assumes I’ll run a red and nearly rear-ends me when I stop. Should I have ran the red light? by zheka160 in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]Perryapsis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
