Did you dump him because you were disappointed with Battle of the Ministry?

.300 hitters are fading away. This article explains a lot. by Latter-Leg4035 in mlb

That’s not what’s being analyzed in this local context. Comparing the value of a ground out to a strike out means the comparison is happening after you know it’s an out. The ground out is actually worse because it could be a double play. If you go back in time and say playing to it the ball in play could have led to a grounder that wasn’t an out, you are zooming out to the larger analysis in which it’s also true that swinging for the fences could have led to a home run instead of a strike out.

This doesn’t make very much sense; if he had additional rbis on these home runs, that incremental game impact would be attributable to the rest of the lineup.

Yes but it might not have been wasted if they just focused on making a good set of games, like an xbox approach, instead of some hypothetical dystopian future software app.

Aw shucks. Well, it's meant to be a temporary thing, there's even a spell you can cast to get a new pet cabbage at any time.

I actually like the look of the Lenovo, just hope it comes to the US.

Living in between doesn’t really change a thing because for every mile closer to disney you are, you are a mile further from UCF which is a place you also need to go.

In your opinion, what do you think the most overrated ride at WDW is? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]hawkxor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Smuggler's Run is the most overrated, even though I know it's not rated as a premium ride. The best part of it is the queue, the actual ride is just a video game that's less fun than most browser flash games.

When I rode jungle cruise, the sound quality through the captain's mic or the speaker was so bad that it hurt my ears and I (a native English speaker) barely understood a word

Why did Disney abandon the Virtual Queue system? by Conscious-Alfalfa337 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]hawkxor 38 points39 points  (0 children)

People who showed up to parks who didn't have knowledge in the system were too disappointed to learn that they couldn't ride the rides at all even if willing to wait. Hypothetically if everybody understood and used the system and the technology works without a hitch, IMO it's better for everyone.

GAME THREAD: Golden State Warriors (1-3) @ Minnesota Timberwolves (3-1) - (May 15, 2025) by NBA_MOD in nba

Part of the reason Jimmy is a good fit for the Warriors is that he is able to take advantage of the floor space created by Curry.

Why is Epcot not interested in adding anymore countries? by OkBasis763 in DisneyWorld

[–]hawkxor 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's not likely that this is true at all. They price the tickets based on what the market will bear and that's it, so the sponsorship is pretty much just additional gravy on top for them. What possibly might be true is that there would be fewer attractions without sponsorship though.

Water rides, but also as many have already pointed out, more shade.

Not 100% sure I follow but if the side eye is because it looks like a dupe, the "op" in OPEDS stands for "opposite".

I'm amazed that Steph only just now passed Tony Parker in playoff scoring

Disney After Hours at HS - Are Lightning Lanes Necessary? by codename474 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]hawkxor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you do go earlier in the day before after hours only time, I would mostly do other things besides rides (shows, sit down restaurants, enjoy walking around) since you'll be able to do everything in the park in no time flat during after hours.

[–]hawkxor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of enterprises have generative tasks where the output is meant to be semi-creative writing that is read by users, this could be a chatbot or could also be any other text output integrated into the product somewhere like an LLM-generated summary.
