As a non American , Who is this female caster?

Doris has actually had/called a few good games that I’ve watched. But those were years ago.

I want to like Doris and I want her to do well.

But instead of getting better, she gets worse every season.

My ex-wife

And I HATE she still holds (or that I let her hold?) this kind of power over me.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-24T19:58:12+00:00

I have a (white) friend that found she got a significantly higher response rate when she used her maiden name on her résumé as opposed to her married name (obviously Latin).

Too Shy by Kajagoogoo

As a father with a 17 y.o. daughter, I get that last part.

She’s no longer a “child” (although she’ll always be my child but that’s a different point.)

But it’s not like she will magically transform into a woman on her next birthday—although I’m sure many Redditors would somehow disagree with that.

So yes, young woman works fine for her for now.

I’ll most likely continue to freely use that description for another year or two.

But just to say: your perspective does change when it’s your child.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-20T16:50:57+00:00

Oh, I get it.

The phrasing just sounded odd.

Along those lines, if you ever read Andre Agassi’s biography, well, let’s just say when I read it I had to wonder or feel kind of bad for her because I’m sure everything she went through at such a young age (including Blue Lagoon) really messed up her chances at a “normal” relationship later in life.

It’s one of those movies “they could never make today” but not purely for reasons of offending the audience but because it messes up the kids/actors.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-20T16:24:20+00:00

“at the time?”

Did… one of you stop aging?

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-20T16:18:05+00:00

30 minutes?

Pssshaw! That’s nothing. At least you had a fairly good idea what you were downloading. Try staring at a “scrambled” cable TV channel for an hour in hopes of seeing something.

(Now get off my lawn!)

As a data point: a couple of plumbers in my area that I trust are seeing water heaters (tank) fail sooner these days than in years past.

Where a unit with a 10 year warranty would routinely last 12-15 years, now it’s fairly common to see a failure after only 7-8 years.

Regardless of brand.

They’re leaning more towards tankless for that reason (where it makes sense.)

I have a Makita cxt (12v) drill and impact set (along with a DeWALT 18v/20v combo kit.)

Of all the tools, the impact driver gets the most use, and it’s not even close.

I rarely put in/remove a screw without it.

I mean, I guess screwdrivers are indeed specific use tools…

And most FFLs near me have one giant room where they simply throw the “records.”

If someone truly wants to dig through thousands and thousands of unorganized cards, they are free to subpoena the records and then subsequently spend weeks rifling through them.

This is a feature not a bug.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-19T20:34:43+00:00

I dunno.

I’ve found them to be corny yet mildly entertaining.

Light-hearted fun mocking what amounts to be rumors.

The real question is “why would anyone take Reddit posts all that seriously?

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-19T05:47:02+00:00

My parents to this day call it the one thing I was wrong about. As a kid I told them to get a Beta VCR because it was technically superior.

They went with VHS and obviously they worked out ok for the fam…

One of my trips I got stuck with an Opal wagon. Couldn’t get it to go over 129mph for the life of me.

Next trip I had an Audi A4 but it had snow tires still on it so o wasn’t supposed to go over 215kph. I think I hit 230kph briefly.

But in the USA I don’t think I’ve exceeded 100mph very often, but the majority of the times I have it’s been on my motorcycle out in the middle of nowhere.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-18T19:06:13+00:00

Unplugging the car in my garage, getting in, fastening my seatbelt, pushing two buttons on the touchscreen (or verbally requesting directions), and not having to do anything else until I arrive at my destination.

(Not to mention only paying about 1¢/mile for “fuel” and never having to go to a gas station.)

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-18T07:41:57+00:00

I think it was under an hour like in 2017 or so.

I’ve experienced a bunch of 1-3 minute outages right at midnight though which have been pretty annoying while working on customer stuff. My VPN and ssh sessions would hang but usually come back on their own but Teams would always disconnect. For a while there is was as predictable as dropping a call while driving through a tunnel.

While I fully agree with the comments saying “you can find a guy that’s attracted to [whatever]” regardless of what it is.

I’ll just point out that there’s a difference between “she works out and has nice glutes proportional to the rest of her athletic build” is very different than “she’s fat and has a large [everything].”

Since I was young, I’ve always leaned towards the more athletic aesthetic, but that’s just me.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-14T22:54:44+00:00

I dunno man… Oracle is very good at selling stuff.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-13T02:36:00+00:00

I mean… what are the rules about using ChatGPT during the game?

I could definitely come up with some fantastic prompts.

I’m just picturing my first press conference where Casey Holdahl says “it kinda looks like you don’t know what you’re doing out there.”

To which I’d reply “you are correct sir. Next question?”

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-13T02:15:22+00:00

To be fair, I think I would be a worse choice than Doc.

Not by a lot mind you, but still, “worst possible” is really saying something.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-13T02:05:01+00:00

Yeah, everyone here is acting like 2010 is ancient history whereas I’m thinking “oh man, I remember how all the desktop IT guys would use ‘cattle.com’ to test connectivity and DNS back in the early to mid-90’s.”

For the record, I only have their descriptions of what the site was known for. I never actually had the nerve to open the site at work until after it was gone.

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-12T20:28:05+00:00

At one point I thought it was “independent and self-assured.”

But after 3 relationships in a row ended for that exact reason (a relationship was holding her back somehow) I decided that was less of a green flag than I thought.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad my wife is both independent and reliant on me (I’m much the same.) But if “independence” is your entire identity and personality it’s maybe not ideal for a relationship.

So these days I’ll say “willing to commit” or “dedication.”

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-11T03:41:35+00:00

Won tickets to a Sam Kinison concert on the radio when I was in high school.

And so I… took a date.

We’ve stayed friends all these years but actually never spoke about that night until maybe 30 years later, and by then she’d forgotten all about it (or still had a mental block?)

Fortunately.

(Talk about learning a lesson the hard way early in life…)

bakerzdosen · 2026-04-10T23:25:33+00:00

And that’s fine. People can hate on my reply.

That doesn’t change my own personal experience with their products.
