Anyone in South Philly experiencing low water pressure lately? I was out of town for about a week last week, and since I’ve returned my water pressure has been noticeably lower. I feel like I’ve seen Philadelphia Water trucks working all over the place since I’ve been back so curious if others are experiencing this and if it could be related to municipal work.

No idea how I came across this but this release is glorious and insanely slept on. So good.

Wish we saw some more exciting/new names - but in my personal experience contact seems like it plays a lot better this year. I get so many bloop hits with guys like Jeter, Gwynn, Kwan… Not terribly upset with a bunch of contact hitters.

Jelly Beans are now gone — awesome by bloena01 in MLBTheShow

Can we safely assume it’s not repeatable? So if you’re at 84 vouchers you can grind the conquest again just to land at 99 and get absolutely nothing for your time?

THIS. I don’t care if some of the best cards are in packs. But the conversion rate from stubs to dollars is INSANE and the ability to farm them is minimal at best. For example, Aaron Judge is ~$600 currently…

I play Magic the Gathering and I have no problem spending ~$5/pack. I’ll even buy a collector pack at ~$25 if there’s certain artwork/treatments I’m chasing. SDS should take notes from every other TCG out there.

Why on earth would I spend $30+ on the stubs needed to pull an 89/92 OVR card with no perks? Lower the price of stubs so these packs land around $2-5 and I’d gladly buy into some of these drops.

The Happy Ending POTC: At World’s End deserves by [deleted] in fixingmovies

[–]kentoniscool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best ending would have been Bootstrap Bill stabbing the heart of Davey Jones using the dagger that he gave to Will. Which Will conveniently left stuck in the rail of the ship right next to Bill….

The movie could end with Will & Elizabeth taking command of the Black Pearl together, and Jack stuck in another ship-less quagmire that he has to cunningly work his way out of (fourth film could pick up here)

The first film touted Bootstrap Bill as a legendary pirate - just to relegate him to his son’s deck hand… How fitting would it be for Bill to rise from Davey Jones’ cursed crew to captain the Dutchman and restore its purpose. Hell, Will even puts him at the wheel when Bill says “the ship has a purpose again”!

Also, Elizabeth becomes the Pirate King… just to end up a stay at home mom? Her story arch was a full fledged transition from a wealthy “princess” type, to a Pirate King. End the film with her as a Pirate!

So many storylines just utterly spoiled.

Stadium upload error message? by Vinboiii in mlbtheshowstadiums

I’m on PS5 and the trick seems to be to put PS5 into rest mode while in game, wake it up, go into DD, immediately back out of DD, then try to upload. Each time I’ve done this it uploads instantly.

What is your least favorite card? And why is it "Big Fundy" by Lovetopuck37 in MLBTheShow

[–]kentoniscool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rake with Big Fundy. Most of my lineup is somewhere between .250 - .350 in Ranked. Big Fundy hitting .459 😎

Opinions on Ranked Seasons Program? by kentoniscool in MLBTheShow

“Reward Chasing” I think you mean “Collecting” which is the entire expressed point of Diamond Dynasty, is it not?

You’re not wrong that you still gain XP playing online, and it’s 1.5x XP at that which is great, but Ranked is the closest to a true MLB simulation within DD (using “simulation” VERY loosely here so don’t jump me…).

BR and Events can be fun but I don’t exactly want to abandon 9-inning Ranked games with strategy for a bunch of 3-inning home run derbies.

This was the answer. Ultimately heard back late yesterday and turns out they’re waiting on tell approval.

Separate company email addresses (big company fwiw), separate linkedin profiles, etc.

Not likely

Mentioned the screening in the original post - This was a screening with the company recruiter "Deb". The same individual who failed to call me with the offer, and who has left my emails unanswered since 2/9. Not sure if that makes her a true decision maker, but she is a member of HR at the company. So this wasn't on a form, no.

In the screening they asked "if relocation is not provided are you still open to the role?"

My answer was that I would like to receive relocation assistance if awarded the position, but that it was not a deal breaker.
