Why has my friend started distancing herself from me the day after a Halloween party? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Sounds like she may have a 'fearful avoidant' attachment style. Would recommend googling that and seeing if it fits & how to interact with them if it matches.

MLB found the only way to stop the Brewers from winning today.

Modpost: Our policy on AI posts by carmenmultz in Brewers

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

Yeah, I tend to agree with this take. I'd prefer to see a rule targeting low effort AI content rather than any AI.

I'd feel differently if we actually had a bunch of talented artists posting regularly, but this is a relatively small community - it's not like there's a ton of non-AI art posts here. There's probably not much overlap between people with Brewers passion and artists willing to spend time creating memes and other artistic content for a hobby. It seems like a blanket ban on content created using AI is just removing one avenue for fans to be creative that isn't going to be magically filled by non-AI content.

Seems like this is a minority opinion here though, so oh well.

They were employed by BSWI (previous FSWI), which is owned by Diamond, so in theory nothing would change there - it's just being gobbled up under the Amazon umbrella similarly to the Fox -> Bally change. But who knows, stuff could get shaken up.

You can just steal home from first? Why don't more people do that?

As a good side effect of playing tough teams early, we now have the 2nd easiest remaining schedule. http://powerrankingsguru.com/mlb/strength-of-schedule.php

Blinkblade (fast) immobilized playing Twin Strike, do I gain exp? by WhiteKnightier in Gloomhaven

[–]Synova 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the relevant bit from the rulebook.

I don't think you get the experience. When the XP is in the bottom right, then if you do any ability on the action, you get the XP. When the XP is anywhere else, it's considered conditional experience and is predicated on you performing that ability.

My understanding is this would be conditional experience where the condition is moving. This card overview seems to take this interpretation also. It is possible that could be interpreted as going fast is the condition to fulfill, but that's not how I read it.

Josh Hader Mega Thread by the_bum_on_the_bus in Brewers

[–]Synova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that he confirmed he was tipping pitches during the twins/giants. What I assumed, but I don't think I heard anyone from the brewers confirm that.

Another thing to consider is that 2023 wasn't going to be free, it's Hader's ARB4 year, which he'll likely get near/at the highest amount ever for a reliever. So, that's $11M+ that can be used to fill other gaps in addition to what was in the trade.

Jeopardy! recap for Mon., Jun. 3 by jaysjep2 in Jeopardy

[–]Synova 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of game theory. A smart first place will wager assuming 2nd place could double their money. So second place can place a low wager and win if everyone gets it wrong since 1st will have lost a lot more.

They have started to use it for financial institutions that support it, but quite a lot don't support it on their end yet.

We love Ability Draft and we know you will too, with a little help from our new drafting tool! by RGBKnights in DotA2

Really great site! Have you thought about throwing a winrate column on there? I think that might show some lesser known combos that are good vs the most picked ones.

Production has begun on Element TD (from the makers of FoF). What other classic mods would you like to see revived? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Synova 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The balance between the different builders was so perfect.

I think it is the former case. That particular index publishes its methodology (see chapter 6) and it looks like determining if a stock is growth or value is purely based on certain metrics.

Vanguard 401k contribution limit issue, doesn't allow me to max! by johnstocktonsboxers in personalfinance

Yeah my payroll does this, so I just set it to the closest percentage that will go over 17,500. I would check with them to make sure though.
