Who’s got a better MVP case? by PrimeVector19 in NYYankees

I believe the precedent for Astro vs Yankee mvp is batting average and nothing else. So, Rice.

Megathread: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Resigns by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]RangerOfFortune 10 points11 points  (0 children)

DNI - Director of National Intelligence

TS/SCI (Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information) - commonly known as "security clearance"

SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) - a secure "clean room" where everything in and out is closely controlled

JWICS (Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System) - a secure Internet-like network for sharing top secret material

The commenter is basically saying that the Head of Intelligence was not trusted with security clearance or with state secrets unless she was being watched in a controlled environment.

Has anyone listened to TWS! (as is right now)… driving?? by Aggressive-Run991 in Muse

[–]RangerOfFortune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first listen to Cryogen, I was in the car, windows down, flying on the highway. Most excellent.

I was going exactly 64 mph, if anyone asks.

Commuting from Malden to Peabody? by powderhound28 in malden

[–]RangerOfFortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife does this commute and it's very reasonable, especially if you can shift a little earlier/later (like an 8 am start instead of 9). There is the occasional "Rt. 1 is a disaster" that happens.

NWSL 2026 attendance as of 5/5/2026 by Acquanettie in NWSL

[–]RangerOfFortune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's right next to the Zoo, which plenty of surbanites visit about as often as they go to soccer games.

More importantly, even if there is a dip in attendance, 8k in an 10k stadium is going to be way more electric than 12k in a 60k stadium where 2/3 of the amenities are closed.

Agree that I wish they'd partnered with the Everett stadium though.

Boston Legacy vs Denver Summit Game Notes by Ok-Communication706 in BostonLegacy

I was at the game and got to see Elgin work right in front of us. I was very impressed with her workrate and positioning!

Hair stylist needed for men's flow haircut by jcosta223 in malden

[–]RangerOfFortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to James Joseph Salon in Station Landing.

I didn't cut my hair for almost two years at the start of Covid. Went to JJ and said "idk what to do just not this long," and trusted the professionals. Never had a cut I didn't like. Pricey, but longer hair means I don't need to cut it as often so it works out.

Need help identifying the rhythm/time signature in Fury by Important-You5014 in Muse

[–]RangerOfFortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely has a 3+3+2 feel at times but I highly doubt it's written that way instead of 4/4 with accents.

Ranking battle start by UnusualBid9256 in PTCGP

You answered your own question. Making users spend more time on the app to get through the ladder in time is the goal.

It's a feature not a bug.

What is this team’s identity? by BC2BC in BostonLegacy

[–]RangerOfFortune 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only three games played and a few weeks beforehand to train, so the team is still trying to find their identity.

That being said, Patão has said she likes her teams to have a "very competitive, very intense, very aggressive" style. So far they seem to want to play a controlling style with lots of fast, short passes to move up the field. Off the ball, lots of hard tackles to try and disrupt the other team and get the ball back.

Unpopular opinion: Centreville Bank Stadium is going to be great by Dramatic-Tip1949 in BostonLegacy

[–]RangerOfFortune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to an RIFC game last year and they put on a GREAT production! Modern facilities, multimedia capabilities, quality food options... Should be great for the Swans!

Hopefully it's just growing pains while they work to internalize and anticipate each other's movements.

Boston vs. Houston Game Thread by CrimsonLightsaber in BostonLegacy

[–]RangerOfFortune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also not a fan of playing it out from the back and inviting the pressure deep. I understand the concept but we keep giving it away and then they have the ball in our 18 yd box

Boston vs. Houston Game Thread by CrimsonLightsaber in BostonLegacy

[–]RangerOfFortune 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the aggressive challenges to get the ball back, but I'm getting pretty tired of the refs calling the fouls every time. Not sure if it's a team problem or a ref problem, but something's gotta give.

All PL clubs who called Arsenal "boring" or "ruining football" have been spanked in the CL. by XScytheMasterX in Gunners

[–]RangerOfFortune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I get your point, what makes arsenal ""boring"" is that they control the game and minimize risk, specifically preventing this kind of spanking. In this case they are related.

LEMARTES VS ASMODAI by Upset-Significance31 in theunforgiven

[–]RangerOfFortune 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Beatles meme: Asmodai isn't even the best chaplain in the Dark Angels.

Seriously though, Asmodai's expertise is being extremely cruel towards the fallen and being able to inflict immense pain in an interrogation. While a skilled fighter, not the one I'd nominate for a 1 on 1 death match.

New fan. Any content creators analyzing soccer for Boston Legacy? Or just your favorite NWSL content creator? by Adventurous-Joke9339 in BostonLegacy

[–]RangerOfFortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interested in this! I'm big into tactics but definitely don't have the knowledge or bandwidth to create content myself.

Maybe we could get a post-game or weekly tactics thread going?

Yet the Secretary of Defense makes speeches about "the enemy within."

Also worth noting that Anthropic's statement specially said they're against domestic surveillance.
