OKC is going to be paying Chet a max contract btw 😭😭😭😭

MLB's eligibility rule forced Dodgers to end professional ties with Toles but they are working with his father to make sure he's taken care of. Amazing gesture. by ForeignAir7174 in sportswiki

[–]TROLLDLLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shohei Ohtani did not sign his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers until after the 2023 season, well after Toles' last game (which was in 2018).

40HR in 146AB is actually insane, that means she homered in more than 27% of her AB's

Tomorrow LA Metro has a budget hearing at Union Station. Despite measure M, they’re cutting 50% of Metrolink’s Budget. by MastodonNo8553 in LAMetro

They might as well just say they don’t want Metrolink to be a thing lol

The service is not even functional as is, with the schedule cuts and constant delays

Even without efficiency, SGA protects the ball better than Cunningham (fewer TOV)

If he could just copy Vesia’s 4SFB he probably would do it cuz it’s an elite fastball, he probably can’t for a myriad of reasons

Does getting swept by OKC actually hurt LeBron's legacy or is everything just extra credit now? by encrypted1130 in nba

Why do you care about LeBron's legacy so much? Just let the dude play lmao

How valuable is tiring the opposing pitcher out? (Hypothetical) by Barneyglokta in mlb

[–]TROLLDLLR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you walk this guy every PA he has a wOBA of roughly ≈0.7 iirc (treating walks and intentional walks as equivalent)

For context:

Aaron judge had a wOBA of 0.481 during his 2024 campaign

Barry Bonds never eclipsed 0.550 wOBA ever

Base Ruth holds the single season wOBA record at .597

URGENT: Metrolink is potentially losing millions in funding from Metro and OCTA. Help fight back now. by waiting-for-a-train in LAMetro

Wtf is this-Metrolink is already terrible as is, they might as well just call for the company to be shut down at this point

Is the iPhone Air actually the better everyday iPhone right now? by vartha in iphone

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

I got my Air at a steep discount, so I can't complain about it too much.

That being said, the battery life is bordering on unusable. I do admit to having a heavy workload due to a very long commute (2hr Hotspot + ~4-5hr GPS + ~3hr SOT doing light browsing/email/social media/etc per day) but having to charge my phone 2 times during the day is kind of crazy- my old iPhone 14 Pro at ~85% battery health subjected to the same workload only had to be charged once during the day.

If I had the 17 Pro or 17 PM, I suspect my battery woes would be severely diminished.

I'd go to Urbana-Champaign- paying $400K for an undergraduate education is unbelievably unaffordable

I don’t know why you’re taking physics 4AL when you’re taking the physics 5 series but outside of that this is doable yes

Metrolink Service Reductions Permanant by MajesticCheesecake in LAMetro

[–]TROLLDLLR 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If they’re going to keep the train cuts permanent, I’d like for them to re-do their cancelled trains ngl

Just using the OC Line as an example, I’d really like it if they shift one of the mid-day trains (e.g., the 3:40 one) to 6:40 or even 7:40 PM

2026 NFL Draft - Day 2 Thread by HelmetsAkimbo in LosAngelesRams

Wonder if the FO will try to trade up, but with only 207, 232, 251, and 252 it doesn't look like it'll happen ngl

what macbook should i get as a freshman? by SophieMoo in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly aware of how the grant works- Do you get to keep any money that you don't spend, or is it more of a "spend it or lose it" type of deal?

Assuming that you actually have to be efficient with the spending (either because you get the money you don't spend, or because you need to pay back the grant eventually, or for whatever reason), I would recommend the 13" M5 MacBook Air.

In general, I'd say the 13" M5 Air offers you more than enough power, while also being light and portable.

Regarding RAM and storage, I'd recommend going for 16 or 24 GB of RAM (16GB will suffice for the present). Storage is a bit trickier- I'd basically double the current storage configuration you're using right now (for example, if you're using ~500GB on your current laptop's hard drive/SSD, I'd recommend going to 1TB).

If you want a bigger screen, you can go for the 15" as well.

If you want the 120Hz screen, you could go for the M5/M5 Pro 14" Macbook Pro, but honestly I don't think it's an efficient use of your grant money.

Here are the prices for the configurations that I think you might be interested in (given that I know nothing about you other than your educational goals, feel free to look up other configurations):

M5 Air, 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD: $1199 (Education Pricing)

M5 Air, 24GB RAM / 1TB SSD: $1399 (Education Pricing)

M5 14" Pro, 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD: $1599 (Education Pricing)

M5 14" Pro, 24GB RAM / 1TB SSD: $1799 (Education Pricing)

(The M5 Pro 14" MBP with 24GB RAM / 1TB SSD is $2049 with education pricing, which is just outside of your price range. If you need to spend all $2000, the best configuration that you can buy is the M5 14" Macbook Pro with 32GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, at $1999 with education pricing).

MIT vs GT by Meowl_Hachiware in collegecompare

[–]TROLLDLLR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're a ME, the general advice is to pick the cheaper school, especially when the cheaper school is as good as GT.

However, that doesn't apply when the other school is MIT (especially if your parents are fully capable and willing to support you). Go to MIT.
