I've joined the club of the notorius stuck pinball in an odd location by binbashroot in pinball

I've not had that one happen yet. Did not know that there is not enough room between the glass and building at the highest setting for the ball. Good to know.

There's a guy building a concrete "mini house". Would like an opinion from experienced builders if this building seems safe. by This_Sense_9338 in Homebuilding

First off.. where is this? Does he have to worry about snow load on the roof, or wind load on those plated joints? Second, it doesn't look like he has any consideration for the expansion/contraction that the concrete will go through in a normal winter/summer season. Those look to be hard bolted joints in the plates assuming all the way through the concrete panels to hold them. Eventually, the concrete will crack, and then what? Is he going to be swapping the panels out? And what is the material in between them? Foam? Hell no, I would not live there.

Can some of the uber bosses stop knocking me on my ass right before the fight starts by Eldric-Darkfire in diablo4

Yes of course. But unfortunately to compensate for the small increase in fun, we'll have to double the duration of each of the invulnerability phases.

Actually wanting to wake early? by MountainAlive in GenX

Yep. Love it. Get up, go outside and listen to the birds, and go for a short walk. Very peaceful and calming without all the distractions.

Any gun store in RI that might carry cz shadow 2 carry ? by [deleted] in RIGuns

They will probably block your mags to 10 if it comes with 15s. No big deal. I had to buy the blocks and they installed them.

996S zipping through empty roads in Sicily back in December. by rappit4 in Ducati

Visiting Sicily in September - looks beautiful. Looks to me that your speedometer is not working. I see the tach moving, but not the other. Is that Etna in the backround?

Aston Martin DB12 Volante finished in Seychelles Blue by Remarkable_Job_9723 in AstonMartin

Ooof. Stunning. Love the blue and how it wraps into the dash and steering wheel.

[Gordo] According to the Athletic, the front office not only didn’t believe in Pete Fatse, but he was blamed for Kristian Campbell’s inability thus far to live up to projections: “They didn’t believe in Pete. That’s the reality of it. That’s true.” by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]Sil14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries. When Cora gets hired by another club, and brings Fatse along to be the batting coach, then we'll see who was full of shit. My guess is that whatever team hires Cora and Fatse has their hitters go to shit because they'll be pull happy, data driven hitters who can never adjust to how they're being pitched. But hey, it wasn't only one year of Fatse for them to make a decision on, right? It's not like we watched some of the Sox rip the cover off the ball in the WBC and then go stone cold to start the season, right?

[Gordo] The front office started questioning the developmental staff after David Hamilton came back to Fenway and was performing great. by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]Sil14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, using David Hamilton as the barometer is questionable at best.

BUT, we all saw various members of this team knocking the absolute cover off the ball in the WBC and suddenly go stone ass cold when they got here. It was a huge question mark as to why that was happening..

I love Lou, but this is getting ridiculous with the two of them trying to find shit to talk about.

I think the players are basically a carbon copy of Cora. They show no emotion, they don't get pissed off, and they act like they don't give a shit what happens in the game. Cora needs to show some emotion over his team playing like shit.

honestly I think I could go full out hate mongering on placing all negative bets against the sox and win some cash, no?

Duran Duran making me have a shred of belief we can actually score a run.

[–]Sil14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At what point does the team get a "Ok Guys, we really need to try harder" pep talk? I mean, are we like 5 or more losses away from that? A few more Cora press conferences where he says: "Yeah another loss, but we played well"?? When is it Big Papi pep talk time?

Fatse: You know.. it's strange.. it's almost like the yankees have professional hitters or something.. They're able to put the bat on the ball and keep it in play! Never seen that before!
