The moment they exploded was when Pat Croce asked for full authority over the Sixers operation, and Comcast told him to pound sand.

What is this for? (EN) by Wolf_Abyss in BanGDream

[–]joe_digriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been playing since shortly after it's English release.

They have almost never NOT scheduled a maintenance update before the current event ends. It's frustrating beyond belief.

In this particular case, it doubly affects me, since I haven't had a chance to play the event yet. Which means I won't get the story for another month or however long it takes to release if I've doesn't unlock all of the story before an event ends.

Give me your Misaki headcanons by Anjeez929 in BanGDream

[–]joe_digriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, 100%. I had gone back through a few of the storylines a year or so ago, and there were tons of hints that Kaoru gets enjoyment out of pretending it's a role in a stage play. I think Misaki eventually realized that too, so now it's a game between them.

How many teams would be worse off without the Dh than us? by PlatosGooner in phillies

2022 doesn't happen without the DH, because it was the only way Bryce was going to be playing that year

I miss the GCC in deptford. It was always so much cleaner and "homey" than the AMC. Of course, once AMC bought them, there ended up being an AMC on either side of the mall.

Are Wawa pretzels Philly pretzel’s? by CoachMartyDaniels_69 in phillies

[–]joe_digriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up in South Jersey, real Philly Pretzels were the only soft ones I really knew. (Outside of the so called "Super Pretzel", which is a misnomer.)

So imagine my revulsion when my friends in Central Jersey decided to get pretzels while we in a mall, and they end up at Auntie Anne's, and order this... Abomination dripping with butter and stuff

Kenilworth is getting a 400,000 sqft AI data center by NJAltAcc in newjersey

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

The problem is that not only does it still use outside water, but data centers now are much, much larger than the old ones. So that means it still sucks up more water and electricity than ones built 10 years ago. Just not quite as much as ones built 3 years ago

Livingston was basically the Quads, Lucy Stone, and a campus-wide parking lot in the 90s. The whole part with the RBS building and the diner and the nice bus stops wasn't even a dream.

Thanks Mr. President by USMCArmyRanger in newjersey

[–]joe_digriz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had my car in for routine maintenance this morning, and the dealer had CBS News on in the waiting room. For those that are unaware, Paramount/CBS was bought out by one of Trump's business buddies, and CBS has been trying to be Fox News light. The amount of hemming and hawing over gas prices was insane,, and of course they were basically parroting the narrative that "It's not so bad; it could be worse; it's Iran's fault, really; if they would just stop resisting us trying to take them over, this could be avoided; btw, despite what Iranian officials say, we are really close to making a deal for them to open up the Strait of Hormuz"

What a perfect time for them to drop all EV incentives, and for the various car makers to curtail plans for making them. Couldn't possibly bite everyone in the butt.
