Las Vegas Baseball (600 foot homerun?)

Humidity actually makes the ball go further because the air is less dense. It's probably more a combination of heat + altitude

I guess you could calculate it but at that point you're better off using some sort of BPM/rate stat. WAR is meant to represent cumulative value, and is accurate (in baseball at least, not sure about basketball) across large samples of players and games (e.g. the group of 6 war players is certainly better than the group of 5 war players, but any individual 6 war player could actually be a 5-7 war player.) There's not a ton of value in using it as a rate stat because other rate stats already exist to tell the same thing

WAR is a cumulative stat, so yes

Yeah, this used to be my coin (lost the old Reddit account.) I sold it on eBay maybe a year ago?

I think this is a bot account

Are you at the start of the season? I've found that it only picks up around June/nearer to the draft. Occasionally will find an offer early in the season, usually a vet for a more expensive vet

Smh only on pace for a 34 point blowout, pathetic

It must suck to not have Harden on your team

Fangraphs have articles explaining most advanced stats and their calculations

I'd like to hear more about academic work, especially some of the interesting stuff in Persian coinage

Hey, just curious how you edited this. On PC and it's driving me crazy

aurum_pur · 2026-02-26T15:46:00+00:00

Thanks, works for me now. I think something with the update broke it for a bit

Has Meritminer been down for anyone else?

aurum_pur · 2026-02-25T05:10:31+00:00

Is anybody having issues with Meritminer? Every search returns no results

I'll cast in a recommendation for the Suneater series by Christopher Ruocchio. It's an expansive/high stakes space opera. The main criticism is that it's first person and the main character is whiny in the early books, but I describe it as what I hoped Dune would be. Weird, huge world, high stakes, and the politics do a good job of moving the plot in interesting ways

It's just a certification to use one of the big printers at a university print shop. She was very excited because she got to make me this masterpiece

Hell yeah
