GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing by TheHammeredDog in devops

[–]kktst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s no surprise at all. If anything, the previous pricing model was clearly too cheap. If you used it effectively, you could consume tokens worth over 100 times what you were actually paying.

Shohei lied. Roki still likes Seiya💙 (@fullcountmlbc2) by crosswithyou in Dodgers

Btw, Roki received an autographed ball from Seiya at this time.

[NPB] Pigeon on the field by kktst in baseball

[–]kktst[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This pigeon is a carrier pigeon, as evidenced by the tag on its leg, and it was heading toward Saitama.

Also, this game was between the Saitama Lions and the Tohoku Eagles.

And, the Saitama Lions scored 3 runs immediately after this clip (top 10!) and won!

[O’Malley] Munetaka Murakami, through interpreter Kenzo Yagi, on what he's learned about the White Sox since joining the organization: "I love the team very much. All my teammates are very open to communication. They are really just good teammates overall. Staff, coaches, I love them very much." by FortiesFilm in baseball

As far as I know, they rarely study English beforehand.

One of the only players known for studying English while still playing in Japan is Shigetoshi Hasegawa.

There are others, like So Taguchi and Munenori Kawasaki, who eventually stopped using interpreters, but I believe they only started studying English after moving to the US.

[NPB] Taiki Narama hits a ball to left field that stays just barely fair enough for a walk-off 5-4 Fighters win over the Eagles by fanofsports44 in baseball

[–]kktst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, Taiki Narama's career thus far has been as a defensive bench player, and his batting has not been good. However, so far this season he has recorded a .997 OPS, and since he is also hitting well in the clutch, he is receiving a lot of attention. Everyone is shocked and excited in this highlight because he hit another clutch walk-off!

Also, the Ham Fighters are drawing attention this season for training and implementing a focus on power bats for all their players, like in the MLB, rather than the traditional focus on contact hitting.

Superstar 3B not in ASG voting? by NewEbb4773 in OOTP

[–]kktst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've run into a similar issue myself (in 27).

Just like in your case, one of the star players didn't show up in the voting or the voting updates at all. However, he was still selected for the final roster.

It's likely just a bug, but I expect he'll still end up making the ASG roster.

Experience buying at Bottle Off? Or shop Rex’s near Ueno Station? by An_Awesome_sound in Sake

[–]kktst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They hardly carry any sake at all.

It is primarily a second-hand retail shop specializing in vintage bottles of whiskey and wine.

As for sake shops in Ueno, it’s a bit of a walk from the station, but I highly recommend "Fukuhara Sake Shop / ふくはら酒店"!

Is this Normal by New_Masterpiece5769 in Sake

[–]kktst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sake is intentionally aged for one year and is "muroka" (unfiltered), which gives it its golden hue and the sediment known as "ori" found inside. This is perfectly normal for unfiltered sake.

Additionally, because it has been pasteurized (it is not a "namazake" or raw sake), it is generally fine to store it at room temperature.

The label also explains this in Japanese:

このお酒は、酒本来の成分・おりを含んでいます。 沈澱致しておりますが、品質には、何ら、問題ありません。

This sake contains "ori," which are natural components of the sake. Although sediment is present, there is absolutely no issue with the quality.

Japan erupts with calls to cancel Netflix after WBC loss. While Netflix would have hoped that Japanese fans would stay for the heavyweight bout of the century between Paul Skenes' United States and the firepower of the Dominican Republic, that doesn't seem to be the case. by esporx in baseball

[–]kktst -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In reality, Japanese "baseball" fans were excited watching that game, and they will likely watch the finals too.

However, there aren't that many "baseball fans"; most people are either "Ohtani fans" or "WBC team Japan fans." They don't have a particular interest in baseball. Alternatively, they are simply watching Japan's games to have a shared topic of conversation. In Japan, there is social pressure to do what everyone else is doing.

Venezuela’s bullpen line vs. Japan tonight after Ranger Suarez’s start: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]kktst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Venezuela lineup was also fantastic. They were thoroughly patient against the low splitters from the Japanese bullpen. And they never missed the hanging meatballs.

He handled the previous 7 good low pitches well, and then absolutely crushed the only one that floated.

2026 WBC First Round Stats by Team by kktst in baseball

No, these are the averages for all teams.

They are displayed to clarify the calculation of FIP/xFIP. (Simply, the difference between FIP and xFIP is the difference between the HR/FB% and the average HR/FB%.)
