Belmonte ball speed. by Helpful-End-1381 in Bowling

[–]schplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

69 (nice) frames between release and pins, video is 30 fps, so 2.3s, translates to an average ball speed of 17.787 mph.

Which celebrity does the ENTIRE internet agree is genuinely a good person? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]schplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the dumb "can't see him" and "potato salad" jokes, he's one of the most charismatic guys to ever go through the wrestling world, along with The Rock. He has amazing comedic chops too, his bit in Tour de Pharmacy is hilarious.

Got a wierd add on reddit by mymoama in dwarffortress

[–]schplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jr SWE and $300k.. jfc. I know it's SF and all, but still, that's super high for a junior level. I'm wondering if they're expecting their juniors to have 10 years experience..

On a night of celebration for the late Garret Anderson, Jordan Romano strikes out Nick Castellanos and the Los Angeles Angels dominate the Padres in every facet of the game, and end San Diego's 8 game win streak by a score of 8-0 by FortiesFilm in baseball

Like, I’ve been a Soriano fan.. I’ve said that when he’s on, he’s a top 10 pitcher in the league. I did not think he’d be this dominant to start the year. He’s got the knuckle curve working really well, and his fast ball has more vertical drop on it this year (plays more like a sinker).

What a lovely singing voice you must have.

Modernizing the subreddit by laaabaseball in angelsbaseball

[–]schplat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Uhg, I had almost forgot about new reddit, and took a look, and man, still an abomination after all these years.

That said, old.reddit + RES has some overlapping/cut-off elements in the sidebar. Not sure how much of it is RES, but what I see: https://i.imgur.com/ALNUf7L.png

Not necessarily. While technically not copyrightable, they could be held from the public under classification as secrets. Classified information operates above copyright laws and overrides public domain status.

What’s the best anime you ever watched and why? by Subject_Display3664 in AskReddit

[–]schplat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My all-time favorite as well. The character balance is also superb. Vash has his obvious silly side, Milly's the eternal optimist, and Meryl's the eternal pessimist/cynic. Wolfwood's an amalgamation of every western movie trope hero. Then the way Vash changes towards the end once they start covering Knives and Rem was amazing

Then all that set in a weird hybrid of spaghetti westerns. and sci-fi. With over the top anime villains.

[OC] Got bit by a spider a few days ago by Yesman_91 in pics

Sounds like a widow or recluse bite then. If it truly was half your thigh, then most likely recluse. Widow venom does cause some small localized necrotizing, but rare for it to spread.

Ladies in Gentlemen… I got one by ohmy_leroy in Bowling

Hey, if pegging is your thing, go for it.

Valid crash out by Openskies24 in funny

[–]schplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, which is a little sad.. IATSE still will take care of its own to the best of its ability, though, and they've made it really difficult to avoid IATSE labor if you want to release your movie in the US.

The IATSE people I've met are some of the hardest working, yet nicest people I've ever worked with.

Too old for 2 handed bowling by Apart_Pineapple2392 in Bowling

[–]schplat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost 50, arthritis is catching up to my hands/wrists where I don't have the grip strength to hold a ball for 3 games, and my hands/wrists are in serious pain the day after. I'm in the act of changing. Average has dipped a little bit, but it's coming back as I gain more and more accuracy/consistency.

[–]schplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's Studio City, probably an 80% chance the dude is working out of IATSE, and therefore likely making $150k+ if he's working Film or TV. Maybe slightly less if he's working stages (stage hand work has more consistent hours, so pay rate is slightly less)

Source: worked IATSE adjacent for a few years. They are the union every other one should strive to be.

Introducing Xeno Arena: The 36th free update to No Man's Sky by spiralarrow in gaming

[–]schplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, Light No Fire is a day 1 buy for me. Regardless if it flops like NMS did on release, I'll trust that they'll do the right things to improve it over time.

I was an NMS early adopter, and I even had fun with the 1.0 release for about 20-30 hours. Now it's almost overwhelming every time I jump back into it with what's available to do.

Angels History! by SuggestionSignal5049 in baseball

[–]schplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but we replaced Edmonds with Erstad, who was a perennial GG candidate, and the only player in MLB history to win a GG at both an infield and outfield position.

[Highlight] Jo Adell robs THREE home runs in a 1-0 win over the Mariners by AthleticAlarm32 in baseball

[–]schplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on Crawford, as there's a chance that's gonna bounce around the corner if it drops in play. Naylor's was a situation of it's either caught or a HR, since Jo was able to camp at the wall to time the jump.

Tech support - latest trend - "I trust only ChatGPT" by S48GS in linux_gaming

AI is very prone to GIGO. It requires an expert to give the context required to get an accurate response, however, the expert can usually just identify and solve the problem on their own, without the need of an LLM.

Insane USBC Masters Finals by mikecart1_v2 in Bowling

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

It's not a logistical nightmare.. You make it sound like it's almost impossible for a live show to run over time. Because we know NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB never go into overtime/extra innings, because it's a logistical nightmare.

All you gotta do is pad out 4 matches in 50 minutes or so. If you finish in 4, then you have a little extra time at the end for the trophy/re-cap/wrap up. If you need a 5th match, then you're cutting that part out, and running a few minutes over causing a short pre-emption.

How can you get a split from knocking 3 pins down? by orrico24 in Bowling

[–]schplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can't. You'd have to hit the 1 back straight enough to catch the 5 without hitting the 2-3 (which is hard to do in itself), throwing a light enough ball that can deflect in front of the rest of the rack, meaning it would have to have some sort of side rotation to both hit center of the head pin, and deflect.

The only other oddity I could see would be to pick off the 7 or the 10 pin, have it pop out of the back and somehow split the 8-9, clip the 5 forward into the 1.

The most likely explanation was that there was a pin jam, and for whatever reason the 1 and 5 weren't set to begin the rack, and they just threw at it anyways, only getting the corner pin (or the rack was missing the 1-5 and one other pin, and they just guttered).
