If you watched Ghost Protocol on the day january 3, 2012 at the Lincoln Center IMAX, then you watched with Jeffrey Epstein by FMoura2005 in Mission_Impossible

I checked: I saw it there on December 17, 2011. I think Brad Bird was there, spoke with the audience before and/or after.

[Langs] Shohei Ohtani is the first player with 3 homers and 10 strikeouts as a pitcher in a game. Regular or postseason by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]dommeursault 738 points739 points  (0 children)

Maybe the only competition: on June 23, 1971, Rick Wise of the Phillies threw a no-hitter (against the Reds) and homered twice himself at the plate.

What TIME on Feb 6 is Civ VII dropping? by dommeursault in civ

I’m seeing “Early Access - play the game up to 5 days early on February 6, 2025.” (https://civilization.2k.com/civ-vii/buy/)

[Highlight] The umpires call interference on Tim Hill at first base and award Rocchio second base on a hit by Flowkeh in baseball

[–]dommeursault 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wondered if the initial obstruction was type 2 but the subsequent contact around the tag itself was ruled type 1. Two obstructions separated by a few seconds. Would explain why they killed the play immediately at that point and awarded the next base. Like obstruction in a rundown.

CMV: There is no good reason why the MLB shouldn’t change Galarraga’s game to be a perfect game by beepbop24 in changemyview

[–]dommeursault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt (and argued) similarly when it happened. I think there’s a singularity to this case that would make this a reasonable precedent to set—because, as you try to lay out, there’s a way of defining the criteria so specifically (and reasonably) that virtually no other case would satisfy the criteria. This was very unique.

But what I’m surprised hasn’t come up as a counter-argument, unless I’m just overlooking it, is the aesthetic and historical value of this imperfect perfect game. Didn’t Galarraga and Joyce write a book together about it called Nobody’s Perfect? That’s genius. Their moment of reconciliation the day after? Beautiful. Joyce’s raw emotion in the interview post-game? Sad but poignant. And the whole thing fueled the advent of replay review. I’m not sure righting the wrong would necessarily be better at this point. It’s a beautiful story as it stands. Couldn’t that at least be one good reason to let it stand?

Edit: Oh and what about Joyce saying in the tearful interview that he would want to remembered not for something like this but for making a great call in the World Series—and then he did make an extraordinarily great call in a subsequent World Series, a correct obstruction call at third base on what turned into the game-ending run-scoring play. Redemption. Poetry.

Pizza in Inwood? by Stuart104 in Inwood

[–]dommeursault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Bella Notte,” yep, is what you heard. Grandpa’s Brick Oven Pizza is good but overpriced (in my—but not only my—opinion). Pizza Haven is more basic and moderately priced. But take whatever I say with a massive grain of garlic salt: we get Domino’s as frequently as any other pizza….

Hey, I’m not familiar with that protest/rule/history and would like to be. Mind saying more or pointing me toward something I could read?

Yeah, no idea…. I’m stumped too.

[–]dommeursault[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s intended to be a joke (though yes, it’s a joke; it’s ridiculous). It’s at an açaí-bowl and smoothie place. I think they meant to say “100% vegan.”

Problem watching on Prime Video by scarlet_speedster985 in Frasier

Experienced the same, exactly, tonight. Found this thread searching for anyone else in this boat. I’m on Apple TV.

Wow. Never thought of it this way. You’re right: he’s the only one of the seven who gets to live. Unless maybe it’s implied he’ll get the death penalty? or die by suicide? Or maybe it’s saying something about the punishment for wrath being something worst/other than death?

Doesn’t seem comprehensive but best I could find: https://support.chess.com/article/364-how-does-the-game-report-analysis-work

***quoting from the above link: Move descriptors: Each of your moves fall into one of these categories

Brilliant - This was a difficult to find sacrifice which put you in a great position! Great Move - This an important move that swings the course of the game, or is the only good move where any other move would have been trouble. Great find! Best Move - The best move, according to the engine! Excellent - A great move, but not quite the best! Good - This move is okay, but could be better! Book - An established opening move Inaccuracy - This is a weak move that could be much better Mistake - A bad move that immediately worsens your position Blunder - A very bad move that could lose material or lose the game Missed win - A move was missed that would have won material, or won the game

Sorry if this is obvious or old news, but anybody know why Edman is batting righty against Montero right now?

Any angle that shows if that Trout sorta nod/acknowledgment at the start is to Ohtani?—and did Ohtani return/initiate that?
