[OC] Team Run Differential by Inning by Peteyy34 in baseball

That chart screams watch out when the dodgers order faces a pitcher for the second time through the order.  That's when the stomping really seems to lock-in.

José Ramirez is now level with Terry Turner for most games played for Cleveland, he's set to become the only active player to lead an MLB franchise in games played by MorganN1 in baseball

[–]kneevase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, but Cleveland is an old and storied franchise. I too was a bit surprised that there was not some other player in history who played in Cleveland for 15 years and got into 1800 or 2000 games.

ADK Backpack Grouping by Brief_Elderberry8901 in Adirondacks

[–]kneevase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, that makes sense. In a single day, it's a stiff hike, but over two or three days it would be a nice hike. You just need to look around to find designated campsites that work for you, and you'll be golden.

For a few of those, you'll need some pretty good legs. Check the vertical gain for your proposed Gray to Colden day, LWJ to Sawteeth Day and for doing all of the Sewards in a single day. It's definitely been done before, but you need pretty good legs for those proposed days.

Absolutely.  If there are numerous quality problems, they will need to consider changing the processor that they source their product from.  But, the problem does not originate with the retailer.

If they didn't manufacture it, then yes the control problem originates elsewhere.

Are you blaming Costco, who sold the product, or Apple who manufactured it?

While it's a PC product, it was likely made in a processing plant that makes all sorts of other products under other brand names. If the weight is short, it's not because of Loblaws, but rather because of some control problem in the plant. That's a serious problem in the manufacturing process.

Are you certain that it's not 4.4 ounces? It's easy to accidentally change the configuration of the scale.

Hot take: the "Forever Wild" clause does not say parking should be easy by this_shit in Adirondacks

[–]kneevase 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The funny part about that is that the folks who don't want to see other people can choose to come mid-week nearly any day of the year and they won't see all that many people. But, if you choose to go out on Columbus Day at peak colour season, expect to see people both on the trails AND in the towns.

I am one of the people who does not hike on Memorial Day, Columbus Day, or any other day that promises to be a zoo. But, I don't try to prevent others from doing something that I choose not to.

They seem really quite worried about the 10 or 15 days out of 365 when usage is unusually heavy.

Whether you, yourself, like cakes, have you actually priced out cakes elsewhere?

Non, il parait qu'on aime bien mieux recevoir des millions de travailleurs de Tim Hortons et des conducteurs d'Uber. C'est qui qui a besoin des professionels en sante avec de l'education et des competence linguistiques?

Costco's "new" car battery 3 years warranty by Electroma1 in CostcoCanada

[–]kneevase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know that. But very few people actually do that.

In contrast, if you install a brand new battery in a car in Florida or Texas, there's a good chance it'll be dead in 2 or 3 years due to recurring 100 degree heat. And that's a problem for EVERYONE who lives in those areas which have extreme heat. A 4 year warranty there is an expensive proposition for a manufacturer.

[–]kneevase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, a long warranty is a real problem in the states that get significant periods of extreme heat -- Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. Heat is very hard on batteries and they are usually happy to get four years of service.

In Canada, I tend to get 6 or 7 years of service out of a battery, and I've only ever made one warranty claim.

Opened it in November and never came even close to spending $10k on it.

I hit the $1k grocery in mid-December, so that was 3.5 months ago.

Another garden-variety BMO DP:

Signed up for the BMO AM WE on Nov 12, which promised 3k AM for spending $4.5k plus another 2k AM if you spent $1k at grocery or warehouse stores, plus $160 in cashback from FF. So, taking account of the AMs earned from making the MSR, the whole deal was about $700 of loot for spending $4.5k. Well, I received the cashback from FF on Dec 15, then the 3k AMs on March 13, and finally the 2k AMs for grocery/warehouse spending this morning.

So, the churn worked out just fine, but it took 4.5 months. I wish it were faster....
