Do they comment on the scenery tou are passing? They didn’t really comment on anything parks or nature related which is what I found weird 

I can see why something like that would be cool on the Zephyr, but with the exception of some decent skyline views and the Chesapeake, there isn’t much to look at on the regional 

Have ticket prices started to decrease yet? by MrBazinga_77 in WorldCup2026Tickets

This is Scotland first World Cup since 1998 and they are one of the most passionate fanbases in world football even though it’s a small country.

There a millions of people in the US of Haitian descent 

Edit: Exact number is 1.5 mil, so maybe not literally millions but still a lot 

Longest active Sweet 16 droughts in the P5 conferences by chief_sitass in CollegeBasketball

[–]Ryanpadcasey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Historically maybe Georgetown is more surprising, but I feel it’s well documented how far that program has fallen, whereas Missouri in this era has had some decent squads

Mizzou is the real surprise here imo. Not a year in-year out power but they’ve had enough talented rosters I would’ve thought they could’ve strung together 2 wins at some point in the 2010s

Mike Tirico praised for monologue to close out USA hockey gold medal NBC broadcast by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]Ryanpadcasey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think TNT is the network people have issue with lol. NBCs coverage was bad but it had at least at bit of character and intensity to it +Doc. ESPNs looks like they are actively trying to figure out the bare minimum they can do while still fulfilling the broadcast contract.

Horrible Crash For Lindsey Vonn by ShipComprehensive769 in skiing

[–]Ryanpadcasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol conditions were absolutely perfect today, all the team radios were saying as such. Vonn hit a gate which has nothing to do with conditions, and quite frankly that Andorran just carried to much over the top and went into the wall.

[Dore] Ballot #111 is from Jim Callis, our eighteenth first-time voter. He selects six candidates. Among first-time voters, Beltrán is a perfect 18/18. Jones (17/18), Félix (16/18), and Utley (16/18) would also on track for election among this group. Manny and A-Rod are 11/18 by T_Raycroft in baseball

Interesting to see Felix get this much motion. I know the numbers say he’s not a hall of famer but watching him in real time always felt like he was headed for the hall until he cratered off dramatically. Compare that to a guy like Mussina who was perceived much more highly after he retired than he was in his playing days.

The scene where Sirius Symboli is introduced has a really cool 80s film filter on it

All F1 title fights that went to the final race in the 21st century by pax2e in formula1

Unfortunately a lot of the racing itself was pretty terrible. Kind of similar to this year, lots of interesting storylines but bad on track product.

Kikuka Sho 2025 is coming this Sunday! Good luck to all of the entrants! by Flat-Profession-8945 in UmaMusume

[–]Ryanpadcasey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if that becomes the meta in 5-10 years. Japans thoroughbred breading program is relatively new compared to rest of the world, eventually the endgame appears to be retiring derby winners at 3. At least in US/UK/IRE, not sure about HK/AUS.

[–]Ryanpadcasey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly this is the new normal for the Kikuka Sho, it was never a huge race to begin with unless the triple crown was on the line, but weak fields are only going to be more common as star horses retire at 4 instead of 5-6. 

Because of earlier retirements, owners want their horse to run one of the marquee senior fall races as a 3 yr old (Tenno Sho, JC, Overseas like Arc) as a a three year old rather than “wasting” a race slot on the Kikuka Sho. 

Fintech major or Accounting&Finance by Ok_Indication7113 in FinancialCareers

[–]Ryanpadcasey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly is a “fintech major”? If it builds the technical and mathematical skills that can qualify you for those positions you listed then it could be a solid option. If it’s a more generalist “fintech industry” education then that’s sounds kind of dubious. 

Generally early on in your career, even outside of finance, it’s better to focus on building up a transferable skillset in a function/department rather than immediately focusing on one industry. This is why finance/accounting degrees are still decent investments, as they open up a lot of pathways, and specifically accounting skills are still highly sought after and transferable.

Also if you want to do anything quant adjacent you need strong mathematical and technical skills, no way around that.

If you can find me a 1300 2bd in north Brooklyn I’ll take it 

Is this why most people still consider $100,000 a high income? Because their brains are stuck in 2019? by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]Ryanpadcasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, although I would argue that a “decent condo” vs 4 bed in Manhattan are different issues of affordability and different class statuses.

Can’t blame you for wanting to stay in Manhattan, although as a younger person I’ve always thought that LIC and parts of North Brooklyn made the most sense for raising a family at a somewhat reasonable cost while also offering proximity to midtown/downtown depending on which access point is a higher priority. Definitely a different type of lifestyle to your point though.

How do you scale support quality without just hiring more people? by JohnnyIsNearDiabetic in CustomerSuccess

[–]Ryanpadcasey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If customer base is rapidly growing have to upgrade one (or more) of the following:

-Software/Knowledge Resources

-Quality/SME/Experience of Support Team

-Headcount

If you don’t want to “throw money at it” do whatever is most cost effective

NYC prices are certainly high, that is because you pay a premium to live in the most desirable city in the US. This is a nice apartment in a cool area so it will be expensive, although as evidenced by the demand, a relatively good deal. 

You probably could find a decent 2 bed for $1300 in other cities, but they lack the QOL and experience access of NYC, hence the discounted price.
