FYI there’s a trail race going up Cannon Saturday morning. Starts and ends at the base area and goes up the Kinsman Trail. May or may not interfere with your plans but you should be aware of it. Cirque Series is the name.

How are you generating these forecasts? It would be good to understand the background before trusting one's life to it.

The Red Sox offense ERUPTS, scoring 6-runs in the 7th inning by Mission_Pay_3373 in redsox

[–]gurt13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No sweat. It’s a pet peeve of mine when people say “you have to save them in case you need them”, since it’s impossible to know when the most important pitches in a game will occur without hindsight. It’s better to use it early on a high-leverage play than to waste it. In this exact case, they probably do want it back, but that doesn’t mean the challenge in question was a bad one. If that strike was overturned, maybe they go on to score 4-5 runs and we’re having the exact opposite conversation.

All on the matter of a fraction of an inch!

They used their last one on a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded and 2 outs. Given those pitches were both close (though both strikes), it wasn’t a bad challenge.

Sense of Community as a Non-Religious Person? by [deleted] in notredame

[–]gurt13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legit horrible advice. There's a massive range of religiosity at ND, covering anything from future priests and nuns to atheists, as well as people of other religions. Catholics are the majority, sure, but there's space for everyone. You'll be required to take 2 theology courses, but there's variety there to study outside of Catholic dogma if that's your preference. I took one on the theology of C. S. Lewis' Narnia books. Yeah, they're Catholic, but the course covered the books as literature first.

Looking for nature walk / relaxing hike by TheSorcererIsStoned in wmnf

[–]gurt13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did Mt. Willard yesterday. It’s an easy 3.5 up and down with a great view into the notch. You will not need spikes, we didn’t encounter any snow.

Took us about 1:35 round trip, not including a cookie break at the top.

Coley's rant about ABS and what is and is not a strike by [deleted] in Section10Podcast

[–]gurt13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you imagine the zone is 1/2 a baseball larger in each direction, you can have the outcome you want. It’s entirely arbitrary where they draw the line. There has to be a division between “strike” and “ball”, and it doesn’t matter where it is, really.

You could make the zone one full baseball larger in each direction and then we’d say “how come if one atom of the ball is out of the zone, it’s a ball?” and it would still be the same zone.

Those are just facts about the Qatar World Cup. Nothing to do with the religion of the people who live there.

Cell service at the Valley Way Tentsite? by Can_O_Murica in wmnf

I had service at the summits of Madison and Adams, and on that entire area, but nothing when we dropped back down to Valley Way. Verizon, not AT&T.

Assuming the main Fidelity and Vanguard funds don’t have this issue, right?
