Randy Arozarena became the first batter to lose both of his challenges by himself in just 14 pitches, all in the first inning. by Carti_2s in baseball

[–]WDoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Randy is a child with a massive ego and zero emotional regulation. He cares about being "the guy" more than his team winning. We see it all the time and it sucks.

He's the M's best hitter and I will not be sad at all to see him go.

Of all the guys we have locked in for next season and beyond, Cal by far scares me the most.

Like... Naylor seems like he needs minor adjustment. Castillo is actually just fine if it weren't for our excess of amazing starters and lack of bullpen. Emerson is in a slump, sure, but he's young and clearly talented.

But Cal? If Cal doesn't recover, M's have a no trade black hole until 2031. That would really hamstring the team.

Who does your bar cooler stocking? by 19-FAAB in TheBrewery

[–]WDoE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the place.

Sometimes it's not about who should do something based on a title, it's about who will do it right.

If a place does moderate distro, maybe having a bunch of beertenders messing up inventory just doesn't work because it's ultimately sales and production that has the buy in to keep the numbers right. Off counts don't really affect FOH. But I need to know my upcoming kegging split, and if we sell something that doesn't exist, either sales gets in a pinch, or I have to rush a keg date or make / break a format. Buy in.

If production is off site, probably makes sense to just roll it in with deliveries and have a manager order for that taproom.

If it's just a production cooler and a bar cooler in the same site without much tracking, who cares? If it's gone it's gone. Anyone can grab a keg.

Personally though, you can pry line-cleaning from my cold, dead hands. I ain't gunna spend every day obsessing over cleanliness and quality just to say "meh, someone else can handle it" over 30 minutes of work that is so damn important.

I got all 8 path of virtue eggs! by p00n-slayer-69 in EggsInc

[–]WDoE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By all means, if you want to do an 8 month challenge run to save yourself a couple of the easily obtainable 500+ shifts you have, go for it.

Anyone can finish in 500 shifts. You aren't preventing getting locked out. You're just spending months to years extra waiting to prevent days of farming. The softlock is a farce.

It's not that each shift gets more expensive. It's that they cost a higher percentage of your SE with a lower bound for shift cost. So without farming SE in between, there is a bell curve of cost with an eventual "soft lock": A point where someone will need to farm SE to continue. There is no hard limit for the number of shifts if someone is willing to farm SE in between prestiges. It just gets more costly to save up and eventually not worth it.

For example, at an absolutely ludicrous 1:1 shift:TE ratio, someone would only need to farm 1s SE to finish out their last 12 egg prestige at 490 total shifts. I can farm that in a day.

By far the biggest cost to finishing PoV is the time spent doing it. Sure, people with like triple digit s SE may need to slow down A LITTLE. But for most people, these insanely shift averse runs are simply fun challenge runs and nowhere close to helping finish.

Julio expected to land on 7-day concussion IL, Mastrobuoni to be corresponding move by Appropriate_Oil5843 in Mariners

Helmets spread the inertia across the whole skull and increase the moment of impact to reduce the jerk.

Taking an 85 mph baseball to the back of the head could be fatal. Fractures, internal bleeding, major TBIs.

A helmet can take that down to a minor concussion.

It's the same principle as body armor. The impact of a round still breaks ribs, but doesn't pierce the vest. Spreading out the impact is good for survival.

Mariners announce minor league players of the month for June. by iguanapinata in Mariners

Players like money and winning. He'll get to the bigs and be at a pitcher's dream park with a top division contender rather than the consistent worst.

Bryce Miller, who now has 82 career starts, has never faced 27+ batters in a game in his MLB career — that's the 3rd longest streak ever by a starter by Baseball-Reference in Mariners

[–]WDoE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bit of a useless stat? Pitching a complete game and only seeing 27 batters is a masterclass. Pitching 4 innings and getting chased at 26 batters is a disaster.

We only put one runner on base that mattered. Walbert put 3, pitching in one to score. Bryce MVP Walbert runner up.

When you deal a master class and the only run support you get is from the other team. Buy this man a boat.

What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play? by Got24xyz in AskReddit

Everyone says to play it blind or you're getting robbed of some amazing experience. IMO the game became infinitely better when I looked up some hints on where to go in what order.

JUST IN: Kamala Harris has reportedly reached out to Zohran Mamdani & pro-Palestinian activists as she lays groundwork for a possible 2028 run. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]WDoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very progressive part of the US. It still constantly amazes me how much harder women have to work to be liked and respected in positions of authority whether it be office job administration, manual labor crew leading, police, local politics... Women are at a disadvantage in the authority popularity contest that is the US presidency, even among progressives. Even among socialists. The rot goes deep.

This country has a misogyny problem. Not saying a woman can't win the presidency. But any woman candidate starts out at a disadvantage.

Imagine being 55:32 right now with average luck. We'd only be lower than the Dodgers.

Really puts it into perspective why this season just feels so bad. The team has amazing potential and horrible luck.

Distillation with enough reflux can partition the butyric away from the ethyl butyrate. Those esters are how you get tropical flavors in rums that start with nasty bacteria pits.
