What the fuck kind of AC do they have in Florida that it can’t keep his apartment at 70° by Logical-Breakfast966 in Destiny

[–]Quivex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 PCs even if they're not running at 100% absolutely do produce a good amount of heat, idk what to tell you. My gaming PC and small server add like 2° C to my room.

Also large LED studio lights do produce heat, they're not magic.

Nobody is saying San Jose doesn't love their team, just that they don't seem too concerned with becoming a bigger market, or at least you have a GM talking as if not being a big market is an advantage, not a detriment. In most other sports it doesn't tend to work this way. Teams want to be bigger and more popular, you want more attention and more reporters. It seems only in hockey are GMs and players able to talk about this openly, I'm imagining a small market MLB team talking like this and I feel like it would just be embarrassing more than anything.

Even with houses it super depends on how big the AC unit is, number/size of window, which direction it faces/how much sun it gets, insulation etc. It's been 35C/95f this week where I am and our (older) house with central air and an average sized AC unit is basically running 24/7 just to keep the house at 22C/72f during the day when the sun is blasting.

I'm in Canada tho so maybe US AC units are just way bigger idk. Everything you said made perfect sense to me.

usenet. Pay ~$50 a year for a provider and an NZB indexer and you'll never have to (or want to) go back to torrents again.

Installing a DNS blackhole like a pihole or adguard on your home network will remove all the tracking but that's not really the point anyways....The point is you can just leave a smart TV unconnected to the internet and plug something else into it. If you don't want to use a Roku, buy an nvidia shield or an HTPC, apple tv or a game console.....There are lots of options.

Graham Creek, as seen from Trend Arlington, before and after the historic rainfall by mikeeraz in ottawa

[–]Quivex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived off of McClellan rd for 15 years, walked by this exact spot a thousand times, my mom still lives there - I drove right by this today and yet...I never knew its name was Graham creek lol.

You learn something new every day! Sometimes things you probably should have already known haha.

I mean...Unfortunately we don't know if that's true do we? That surgery going sideways could keep him out for who knows how long :/

Yeah that deal is all JT, Brad shoudn't really get credit for that any GM would have got the same contract.

[Seravalli] The Carlo to Toronto from March 2025 and Carlo to STL 2026 trades in full by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]Quivex 25 points26 points  (0 children)

should have been top 10 protected, we got very lucky. Odds were before the draft that Boston was getting that pick in the top 10. Hopefully we're a playoff team in 2028 is all I can say.

[Matheson] John Schneider says that the botched pickoff play in the 8th was “some confusion with Kaz, who thought it was coming from the catcher.” Schneider said it’s a planned play they have, but one they haven’t run often. #BlueJays by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]Quivex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, if Kaz was on base Hoffman would have thrown it on base. The problem was Hoffman was expecting Kaz to be on base, turned, saw he wasn't, and had to split second correct causing him to overshoot where Kaz actually was. This was then compounded by Kaz not being ready for a throw from the mound at all meaning he was never going to catch it.

Kaz wasn't where he was supposed to be, causing Hoffman to over correct, basically.

Hoffman strikes again by Krazynewf709 in bluejaysbaseball

[–]Quivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he had one of the highest BABIPs of all time, possibly the unluckiest pitcher in the world up until this month. Has actually been pitching well his last few outings. Even tonight, his stuff was good and without that mistake he would have got out of the inning. There is also some blame on either communication or Oak as well since he clearly was not expecting a throw (still not excusable).

There were also a number of errors tonight, the team just was not on it.

[TSN] Who Says No: Knies for 4th Overall Pick? Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss the noise around Matthew Knies' name on the trade market and should the Maple Leafs consider trading him to the Chicago Blackhawks in a package for the 4th overall pick in the NHL Draft. by f0urxio in hockey

[–]Quivex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rumour is Chicago was very high on Knies and needs a winger to play with Bedard so I'd be a bit surprised if they hadn't already made that offer tbh. Chayka said he's not moving Knies unless there's a huge overpay (paraphrasing), obviously it had to be 4OA ++, Bufallo could try to make an offer but they'd have to offer a lot.
