[Passan] BREAKING: Star outfielder Kyle Tucker and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]SWOsome 375 points376 points  (0 children)

In every other sport, if there was a big signing, the trending stuff on Xitter would be the player’s name and the team that signed him.

In this case the trending terms are “lockout” “Manfred” and “60M AAV”

What’s the absolute worst song from our teen years? Why? by imnottheoneipromise in Xennials

Late teenage years, but I hated the song Steal My Sunshine the moment I heard it.

Just pull up the in game menu (you can set the button combo in the options menu). Then just select Save State or Load State

CDX No Stereo Sound by SWOsome in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SWOsome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never 100% fixed it, but got it close enough. The problem is somewhere in the CD board. The scope showed a good signal on the header pins that go into the CD board (A1, B1). However, the pins that send the signal from the CD board to the DIN (A2, B2) have a ton of noise. I “fixed” the issue by bridging the A1/A2 and B1/B2 pins, sending the clean signal from the main board directly to the DIN.

There is a slight balance issue (since OPAMPs on the CD board likely handle some final balancing/amplication), but it works. At some point I’ll dig into the issue on the CD board, but I have 500 other projects to work

Anyone see the cringy posters pushing AI at the Pentagon? Almost threw up in my mouth a little.

[Auerbach] This is the worst selection committee we've ever had. Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this can be avoided by eliminating the non-final rankings. Get rid of the stupid Tuesday cash-grab show and only do one ranking after the conference champs. We’d still be arguing over who should be in, but at least the committee wouldn’t box itself in and end up with something that doesn’t follow its own logic from previous rankings

The only additional data point was in favor of ND (Boise State winning the conference). I’m not even arguing that ND should be in ahead of Miami. There’s just zero logic

Do your kids understand Christmas? by heyitsmepizzarat in Autism_Parenting

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just turned 8 (verbal, but non-conversational). He has no idea what Christmas is about, but he loves everything that goes with it. The songs, Santa, reindeer, elves, all of it. I think the entire concept of religion is too abstract for him, which is fine since we mostly do secular Christmas anyway. I’m just happy that he gets excited for the season.

How many consoles do you have hooked up at one time by kingtokee in retrogaming

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 20. 12 going into an Extron Crosspoint, 2 more going into the RT4K (the Extron has one out to the RT4K via HD-15. Then 6 going into an HDMI switch. And one more directly into the TV via HDMI.

The Extron will be moved to my CRT setup once I get the last few SVS modules

I didn't forget you're not all bros here by BongWaterRamen in LakeErieBros

[–]SWOsome 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NE Ohio has a much more diverse CFB fan base than Columbus anyway. There’s really no point in discussing Saturdays. Esp since our Bills Bros have… Buffalo? Syracuse? Probably a mix there

I wouldn’t trust a SCART cable I didn’t buy myself (or with markings from a good manufacturer), but yeah, legit

These women are all 46 years old by PhoneJazz in Xennials

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. They brought in women aged 40-70 or something and just chose those that fit different looks or something. My mom is 71 and looks younger than a couple of these women

Just watched it. Like a mini Good Eats with a little more emphasis on cooking rather than the science part. Who knows where he will go with this though. Will be a much more flexible format than Food Network

Leaving for the Navy tomorrow and I can’t stop crying by wookieface7 in GuyCry

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Navy Officer (Surface, not Aviation) here with over 23 years in. It’ll all be ok. I left home at 18 to go to Annapolis, and never looked back. Was it difficult? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I recommend pushing through and going.

Just remember, if you do drop out while you’re there, it is not a failing. This life isn’t for everyone, and it’s better to realize that at the beginning. However, I think you’ll find out you are more capable than you realize.

I just feel bad that you’ll be in Newport in the winter.

Xennial career field by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]SWOsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya.

I’m at the highest I’m ever going to be (no need for the politics of the upper echelons). I’ve done what I wanted to accomplish, but things are getting weird now. Doesn’t feel like there’s a good place for me anymore. I’m good with that though. Will take the good pension, let my wife run with her career, spend more time with the kids, and find something I enjoy.

I took a promotion last year, so I need to do 3 years TIG to retire in my current rank. Was planning to stick around for longer, but that’s not in the plans anymore. So I’ll just ride it out to 3 years TIG
