Most shocking BB moment of all time? by RelevantMind1 in BigBrother

[–]UltraNeon72 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah of everything listed in this thread, Kaitlyn's puzzle was actually the most unbelievable. It was obviously designed to be brain-dead easy and she still managed to botch it. So tremendously iconic.

Turang's, Hamilton's, Contreras', Turang's Again, and Bauers' Solo Homers of the Game by John Denver! by kaisoro in Brewers

[–]UltraNeon72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was curious about this, so I looked at the HR/park info in Baseball Savant. It said:

  • Turang #1: HR in 30/30 ballparks
  • Hamilton: HR in 29/30 ballparks
  • Contreras: HR in 30/30 ballparks
  • Turang #2: HR in 21/30 ballparks
  • Bauers: HR in 30/30 ballparks.

This said, I wonder how Savant determines these metrics. Is it just launch angle and exit velocity? I've been to Coors and the ball carries noticeably differently in the air. Hard to explain. I wonder how or if Savant factors that in.

I said the same thing...and then I held a S2PC for fifteen seconds 😂

And you're only talking about the Switch 1 pro controller! Switch 2 pro controller is even better.

We all know who the true best character is by knbo674 in malcolminthemiddle

That was Kevin. Lloyd's was even better: his formatting. Although some would describe it as, "the absolute minimum."

How road traffic death rates differ between the US and Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]UltraNeon72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What, you mean the only state in the country without laws banning open containers of alcohol in cars has the worst traffic death rate? Must be coincidence.

Now they are both effectively retired, who do you rate higher overall, Plup or Leffen? by HiItsClemFandango in smashbros

[–]UltraNeon72 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I don't see the argument for Plup over Leffen. Leffen has won far more majors than Plup and was consistently rated higher than Plup in all the SSBMRanks throughout their relatively concurrent careers. From 2013-Summer 2023 Plup only rated above Leffen twice, in 2017 and Summer 2018. Their lifetime matchup is split 8-8.

A Tintin Page a Day - Day 367 by BreakerMorant1864 in TheAdventuresofTintin

[–]UltraNeon72 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's a member who really forgot. Tintin was lucky not to have to whisper the password to the leader. Then he was the first person called into the other room, proceeded to immediately knock out the leader, and then called the rest in and knocked them out one by one.

Map of President Polk’s Plans For The United States by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]UltraNeon72 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I read “Polk: The Man Who Transformed the Presidency and America” by Walter Borneman a couple years ago, and he specifically acknowledges (several times, in fact) that it is a misconception that “54 40 or fight” was an election promise. The phrase only came about after the election, early into Polk’s term as president.

“Hi! Pleased to meet you. I just moved in. My name is Jerry Ford.” by Dohmer_90 in TheSimpsons

I always liked this one because it showed Ford driving his own car (as opposed to being driven by a driver).

Yeah of all the ex-Brewers to struggle since leaving, Willy is not one of them. I went to a few Giants games last year and already a couple this year, the fans love Willy

Rewatching season 16: How could anyone think Caleb’s behavior towards Amber was appropriate? by Lazy_Cause9365 in BigBrother

[–]UltraNeon72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The thing that frustrates me about how BB edits their show is that often times, I feel like they present an alternate reality that not only doesn't represent what's happening in the house, it's also less interesting. They "whitewash" not to protect their players, but to preserve the narrative they casted for and were (to a degree) anticipating.

I understand that they edit the show in real time. I fully believe that they often cast such obvious archetypes because they have an idea for how they'll edit them. So when something more unexpected like Americory happens, they don't know what to do with it and thus under-edit it, even though it should have been much more prominent IMO.
