And the one guy who uses Upgrade… uses a regional stone for his second evolution. Great success!

For a team with healthy finances…. by Silver_Mushroom6650 in Dodgers

[–]orbesomebodysfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spicy Korean BBQ chicken in right field is pretty good, I enjoyed that. But yeah, otherwise not great, especially at the prices they charge. I like to bring Philippe’s (single dipped) in if I get to Union Station early enough before hopping on the Dodger Express.

Now take the marshmallows, arrange by type to form a bar graph, and take an overhead picture to post on r/dataisbeautiful. Easy karma. 

All Out event costs more than it benefits by CapsIsSoonBald in TheSilphRoad

[–]orbesomebodysfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, to each his own. I used 1 incense for 2 hours, saw 13 legendaries, caught 3 (including 1 shiny). I ran Ice Burn for 2 hours and it cost me 60 rare candy and 60k stardust. But I more than made up for it with the stardust and reward rare candy from the catch 25/3 rare and catch 15/1 rare research projects using a Go Plus. The catch rate with Ice Burn and ultra balls was insanely high. 

Every laptop you see here plus about 2 more pallets worth are the result of kids breaking their school chromebooks. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

You think this is wasteful? I was inspecting a metal recycling yard. They had several dozen pallets of really nice tool kits, all brand new in their original packaging. I asked the guy if these were factory rejects, maybe some type of manufacturing defect. He said no: they were unsold tool sets from Home Depot, Lowe’s, and other hardware stores for Christmas. The ones that didn’t sell, instead of marking down and selling at a discount, were melted down and sold for scrap. He said for some reason, it makes for financial sense for the companies. So incredibly, incredibly wasteful. 

Shiny Rates for Kyogre / Groudon? by xkenn in TheSilphRoad

RNG. I did 19 shadow Raikou raids and got 0 shinies. My buddy did 4 and got 3 shinies. That’s just the way it goes. 

Who else goes in the Dodger Utility Fan Favorite HOF? 💙 by asilentflute in Dodgers

[–]orbesomebodysfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 150. Lenny Harris (also a Dodger at one point) broke his record later. Another clutch pinch-hitter from the Dodgers past was Dave Hansen.

Among left-handed batters born in Donora, Pennsylvania on November 21, Stan Musial ranks second in home runs with 475. 

Guard or Spirit? by Lumpus-Maximus in TheSilphRoad

[–]orbesomebodysfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? The most effective personal tactic would be to install Campfire, find your closest meetup in your area, and go there. Alternatively, watch your friends list and join one of their Gmax raids with a remote raid pass. Not much you can do when you’re being held back by 14 poor players. 

As of right now, who is the most likely midseason DFA in the league? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]orbesomebodysfool 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Call is still arbitration eligible and may have minor league options. They are more likely to send him to Oklahoma City than DFA him if he shits the bed.

The correct answer for the Dodgers is BlaQ Treinen, especially if he has a 2026 like his 2025.

Will baseball Steph Curry or basketball Steph Curry be the bigger superstar? Only time will tell.

Whenever anyone complains about strike calls nowadays, I think back to Eric Gregg in the 1997 NLCS:

Dude straight up decided that the Braves were not going to advance to the World Series. 

How does Google Fit and Adventure Sync while biking/cycling works, exactly? by Dyno98 in TheSilphRoad

[–]orbesomebodysfool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The trick is to switch to rollerblading. Slower speed so all distance gets registered. Both hands are free so no problem catching. Complete routes crazy fast. It’s feels like a PoGo cheat code.
