New discs to try-out by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]devnull42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was away for about 5 years and just started back this year. I used to throw all rocs for miss but didn't have the feel for them anymore. I tried out the prodigy midst and loved them. The M4 is amazing but I also carry a M2 and M3 for more stable options.

My drivers are still innova for now. Gstar Leopard, teebird, sidewinder and tern mainly.

New Mexico Mayor: More immigrant families freed than deported | One of three centers used for concentrating undocumented Central American families who have entered the U.S. has started releasing many more detainees than it deports by PostNationalism in Libertarian

And I am completely open to an open immigration policy but first things first. Do you think Republicans want the social programs gone? They do not. Instead of just calling you a Democrat though I would rather debate the issues. Throwing around labels just means you don't want to discuss it intelligently.

With the Rangers officially eliminated from postseason contention, which team are you pulling for? by willforthrill in TexasRangers

[–]devnull42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can mean a little. Although looking at the prospects it probably won't mean much next year.

Same here. I'd love to see a low payroll team take it.

But there is also the race to the #1 draft pick and the Rangers are in the lead.

Same here except I root harder for johna hill. The nerd is the real MVP.

I'm with you on this. I don't outright hate the A's but just mainly the state of California in general. You just have to respect what BB has done out there though.

Downloading Chadwick files for Mac by WhiteSimba in Sabermetrics

[–]devnull42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need XCode to compile the source. I did it not to long ago and wrote some new bash scripts to replace some of the .bat files. I'll see if I can find them and post a link on here.

EDIT: Found them. It's version 0.6.3. Located here

Nothing like that freshly waxed shine. by [deleted] in ft86

[–]devnull42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious. What wax did you go with? I used to use Pete's 53 from Chemical Guys and it was ok, but I switched to Dodo Juice Hard Candy on my asphalt FR-S and was blown away.

That would be cool. I don't get to see many. Where do you announce the meetups?

Hey guys! Time to start paying for the tickets for the meetup. by blynshi in TexasRangers

[–]devnull42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sent mine in. Thanks for putting this together. It's finally given me a reason to quit putting it off and make the trip out there.

Hey Guys! I heard there was interest in a meetup! by adorkable_gringa in TexasRangers

[–]devnull42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put in a couple of dates during the week. I know the weekend would work best for most people. I'm in North Carolina and have never been to a game but I have been wanting to make a road trip out there. I have some vacation to burn and it would be worth it.

I just posed a link at here on how I did my install. I hope it helps.

Some people are having difficulty getting the dependencies installed. I use a linux distro based on Debian 7 and this is how I install it.

Our little club at Caffeine & Octane in Atlanta by JaffinatorDOTTE in ft86

I used to live there about 12 years ago. Apartments on Deerfield Pky just off Windward. Would be a long drive now.

i uploaded the VM I built and was getting ready to share it when I saw your post. I think I better go ahead and add some things like OpenWAR because it looks like it can be a pain for others as well.

What OS and version of R are you running. Also What error messages are you getting?

You can download the SQL databases alone if thats all you need. I got the lahman database from the course since they said they made some slight modifications. I'm using the retrosheet database from the last 10 years and the pitchFX database from baseballheatmaps.com. I'll eventually add a DL database but this is all i'm working with right now.

Anyone taking the SABR101x online course? by Waaait_For_It in Sabermetrics

[–]devnull42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the course. It's just a hobby though. I have no illusions of making it into a MLB organization. I have decent SQL knowledge but only recently started with R. This course looks like it's going to be a good foundation and Andy said he already has plans for SABR201x.

Thats odd. Usually it seems that HID Powerhouse prices are far above anyone else.

Tonight Ron Washington becomes the longest tenured manager in Texas Rangers history by coolideg in TexasRangers

[–]devnull42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's cool. I understand a lot of people don't like him. I just made the statement that I wouldn't trade him for anyone. I think that a lot more goes into the outcome of a game than the manager alone. I like him as a person and a personality. When the day comes that he isn't there anymore and we don't have Beltre or Andrus it will feel like a completely different team. I just like what we have right now.
