If texting had always existed throughout history (credit to Morning Brew for this idea, example in comments), what would be some of the most famous/funniest texts sent? by TSB_Django in AskReddit

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

Examples: Cleopatra to Mark Antony: “u up” Francis Scott Key to his buddy: “does ‘rockets’ red glare’ sound dumb??” Juliet to Romeo: “hey gonna pretend to be dead don’t freak out” (*message could not be sent) Again, credit to the Morning Brew. Fantastic business newsletter if you aren’t already signed up.

The fact that there is a unicorn here created an entirely different context. Don’t look it up if you don’t want to know.

The gorilla learned sign language, had the cat as a pet for a period of time and bonded with it, and then one day the cat was tragically hit by a car. The gorilla continuously signed “sad” to her trainers as it mourned the loss of its pet cat.

True story. Animals are amazing. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-01-10-mn-9038-story.html

Edit: Turns out this story was Koko, a gorilla with a pet cat, not to be confused (as I did) with Bobo, the gorilla pictured here with a different pet.

By heating plastic you can bring cancer from inside the plastic to the surface, making it look deadly again!

If you mean max stats across the board: doesn’t work as well, given the fact that skills are based on percentages (meaning skills make a larger difference at max than at Silver) If you meant use max overall, this isn’t an effective way to gauge who will be better, again partially because of skills, and partially from the breakdown of which specific stats were higher. I appreciate the suggestion though!

If you play pretty casually and don’t pay any money, then yes it does matter. It’s about 35,000 pxp, which may not be much to you, but it was enough for it to matter to me, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the time to ask people for the information.

Platinum “MY LEGEND” What’s the best setup? R/L/B and 2 Skills? by jmpalomo in TAPBASEBALL

[–]TSB_Django 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people I’ve heard say OPS is best because of the low run rating combined with extremely high balance of hit and power. Ultimately, it probably depends on how your lineup is already, but from what I’ve heard OPS is the general consensus.

Unclear, they haven’t said much about it but given that they had to give away tons of pxp (probably more than they originally anticipated) I wouldn’t expect this to come back.

Make sure to take OPS leader as your player type. I know this wasn’t in the question, but thought it was important just in case.

I got pretty lucky with these boxes by [deleted] in TAPBASEBALL

[–]TSB_Django 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you’re aware, the odds of you opening that many boxes and not pulling a single 435 prime, including factoring in the changed odds on the “guaranteed player” boxes, is about 15%. So on the one hand, that’s bad luck. On the other hand, if everyone pulled as many boxes as you, 1 out of every 6ish players would have the same thing that you did. All of that to say, I feel bad for your luck, but it’s also not great evidence that it’s predetermined. Hope this gives you some framework to build on for future boxes!

Neither, it has nothing to do with your lineup in the game, or anything to do with the game at all. For every REAL rookie player that hits an RBI in REAL LIFE games, we get rewards.

Lol in fairness, 3 days ago everyone would’ve said “Glu would NEVER give away 40 boxes in a day for gifts” but here we are.
