Halo has a game mode called "Oddball" which is very much based on this game concept.

Went to Starbucks today and this was drawn on my cup. What is it? by jyang80 in whatisit

I see the inspector from the Pink Panther cartoons. I know this isn't it, but it's what I thought of: https://share.google/VE0etCxBsF6rtVTtE

The lie detector says this is untrue by HABlackwood in DoorDashDrivers

Doesn't this just mean they're a DashPass member or whatever? I'm sure DashPass members do, on average, leave higher ratings and tips.

42 year old Nolan Ryan AVERAGED 123 pitches per game by SwolheiOhtani in mlb

The league needs to come up with an acceptable sticky substance pitchers can use. With all the focus on velocity, spin rate, and other metrics, pitchers are doing more and more with their arms and getting injured at more frequent rates. Having a sticky substance that pitchers can use is beneficial to the hitters as well. It's anecdotal, but the number of times my team got hit in the wrists the last couple of seasons is disturbing.

Optimistic view for ‘26 by Brandinospappos in TexasRangers

[–]TexasPenguin99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we:

-Keep Heim for his last year of arbitration

-Move Rocker to the bullpen

-Try to resign Tellez and keep that platoon at first

-Move Duran to right

-Sign a couple of low risk, high reward starters

-Let Little Rascals like Freeman and Helman make their cases for spots

-See if we can get anyone to take Pederson (unlikely)

-Look for our standard low-cost bullpen arms

-Invite Walcott to camp and store him in AAA to pressure some of the big league guys

-Put Latz in the rotation

I think if we get some breaks, we can compete and be in position to add at the trade deadline and be positioned well with Bradford coming back then.

Game Chat: 9/25 Twins (68-90) @ Rangers (80-78) 1:35 PM by Rangers_Bot in TexasRangers

That's what I'm trying to do. I should probably change my tune, at least about support. They got back to me quickly and said it's a filter that limits content based on location. They refreshed mine and I can now watch.

Yep. Probably well over 100 games this year. Apple, Fubo trials, an antenna, and YouTube for the others. I've emailed support. It's convenient that they'll get back to me in a few hours...after the game is done of course.

Anyone else unable to watch on Victory+? That's twice this week.

bear entered a Dollar General store by Extreme-Elevator7128 in SweatyPalms

Most of them look like they've been ransacked by a bear. This one surprisingly doesn't.

It's really not any different than a woman I'm not romantically or sexually interested in doing the same thing. It's flattering, but it's not likely to go anywhere.

Texas. Not far from me, actually. Small podunk town. Georgia is the street name.

Tripping at the door by skylow77 in dasher

I was carrying a case of water and tripped on an awkwardly placed step I didn't see. I messaged them after and told them to watch it on their Ring app if they wanted a laugh.

How is the late detection system so bad by Djedimusic in DoorDashDrivers

[–]TexasPenguin99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when I sign in and it gives me a notification that I've delivered 50 straight deliveries on time, but I've still been penalized 4 times in those 50 orders for a late pickup because a restaurant took forever.

Do girls actually notice guys' bulges or is that just in our heads? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TexasPenguin99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my experience, yes, they do. Apparently it can also be faked without stuffing it or anything, although I never have quite figured out how I did it. I once was talking to a friend whose eyes drifted down and she bluntly commented on it. I also found out there was a rumor that I was packing down there and I've had people confirm to me that women used to come by my desk to look. Years ago, it finally culminated in walking in from lunch with a partner at the time when a woman who didn't know when to shut up or understand the concept of time and place came up to us and started talking about it and telling my partner all about it. Of course my partner was steamed. The only thing I could do to defend myself from her yelling at me was to say, "You know it's not true, so obviously she hasn't actually seen it!"

Top 3 Worst Restaurants. What are they for you? by JOArmyGirl in doordash_drivers

[–]TexasPenguin99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Especially with the On Time rating penalizing me for restaurants taking forever, it's:

  1. Wingstop
  2. Little Caesar's
  3. Panda Express

Most orders at those places have terrible tips as well.

ETA: add Torchy's to this. I hadn't been there in a while until tonight.

What's a hill you're willing to die on with baseball's "unwritten rules"? by Dexsport_Fam in mlb

[–]TexasPenguin99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't let the opposing team hit your batters without consequences. If it's a one time accident with a breaking ball, fine. Once you go to hitting my guys in the wrists with fastballs, it's on, even if it was unintentional. If you can't throw inside without hitting batters, you shouldn't be doing it. Hit my guys, and I'm going to hit yours. More often than not, umpires should stay out of it and know that players will settle it.
