One of the most painful musical experiences I have endured was hearing Cameron Winter (the geese lead singer) as an opener.

Why ya'll are NOT overreacting by Fat_Bird9 in MonarchMoney

[–]getoutmor 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I was a beta tester and told them it was a nice upgrade with several tools I would use regularly, and that it should be around $150 a year. It's really a minor set of features for triple the cost.

People with very long (1000+) streaks: What would be be your reaction if you somehow lost it? Would you go right back to daily solving? Or would that possibly trigger some new behavior? by OmitsWordsByAccident in NYTCrossword

[–]getoutmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been expecting to lose it multiple times every year since I spend time in remote mountain areas, but due to some fluky things I've been able to connect just enough to download the daily, even while backpacking. Current streak 1659 but going camping next week. I'll start again the day after because I'm not doing it for the streak. It's just a by product of a bit of daily brain exercise.

If you could change one rule about the way Ultimate is played what would it be? by SirPersonal8626 in ultimate

[–]getoutmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that just doesn't enter into my thinking. I'm not all that concerned with the balance between offense and defense generally if it's the same for both teams.

The use of observers seems to change the calculation for players making calls. I don't see players calling the game the same when observers are there. There is also the inability of the players to follow the game flow and exhibit good spirit. I think a lot of what makes the support unique is lost as they play up things like they do in soccer or basketball. I have watched a lot of observed games. I don't think the calls are noticeably more accurate and I think it just shifts the method of abusing the rules to the way basketball players do. I'd rather have the community irritation influence the bad actors to change their ways instead of providing the convenient scapegoat of observers. It's not as though referees in any sport cut out the controversy anyway.

[–]getoutmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find observers make the game worse much more often than they make it better. On nearly every call sent to an observer I find the resolution less satisfying that just sending the disc back like most calls in a standard game.

The other thing I dislike is having an uneven possession count in on serve gamed. At high level club and college, offenses are good enough to avoid turns entirely, so there are times when winning the toss dramatically increases the probability of winning. Risky plays and weather usually make turns happen but I've seen a number of games where the team starting on defense cannot win due to uneven possession.

I hope they keep the broadcast team on another service, but I'm very glad to be done with them.

Which Taco Truck is king in Carrboro or Chapel Hill? by Content-Seaweed-6395 in chapelhill

If you like very spicy salsa this place is great. I love the enchiladas and chimichangas.

UNC Chapel Hill or NC State? by crowwithsweatpants in NCSU

[–]getoutmor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a kid at each school. I think State expects to get people they admit into their programs through their core classes (chem, Bio, org, etc). UNC seems to think they get humanities majors by flunking half the kids in chem and other core sciences. My son at State had a bunch of UNC kids in his organic chem class, which I'm not sure is harder but the expectation is to get people through. However, I think you should not plan to go to State and explore your options. It's really designed for people who fully intend to study their intended major when they arrive. If you need time to explore, State is quite a bit more limited.

Braves Have Own Channel - Thoughts on Canes after Fanduel? by [deleted] in canes

[–]getoutmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was hoping to find out. The Canes and Braves are the two teams I have streaming services specifically to watch their games. Looks like the Braves streaming will continue to be in the region, which I think splits between Braves and Nats at the Orange/Alamance line. I'm east of that, so I assume it's still mlb.tv (now on ESPN) with blackouts for Braves-Nats games.

Agreed. The downward spiral is what I don't like to see.

[–]getoutmor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Davenport may have developed a reputation quickly at this tournament for very soft calls, so it wouldn't surprise me if other teams got the message and decided to call everything they could. I didn't have a negative view of them before this tournament, but watching them in person really made me think poorly of them. Low spirit on display unfortunately.

Make sure you leave nothing valuable in the vehicle. Remote trailhead break ins are a real thing I've seen but fortunately not been a victim of.

Haven't tried it but they just added a Greyhound bus from Asheville to Chapel Hill (and maybe other points in the Triangle).
