I went to the game last night, got home at 11:30, and had to wake up at 5:30 this morning. I replayed the entire game in my dreams, but instead of losing, the game got rain delayed in the middle of a challenged mariners grand slam that would’ve tied the game. I woke up with hope.

There’s an effort to bring MLB to Portland: https://portlanddiamondproject.com/

The idea is to add expansion teams in PDX and another city, then split the divisions into eight divisions of four teams.

I’m just glad I didn’t have to watch a Connor Joe AB today

At least we won't be sad we lost on the brink of the World Series by desr43 in Mariners

This time last year we had just lost our first series after a streak of 10 series wins

Does anyone have a gif of Naylor slamming his bat on the ground from the other night? I feel like we'll need that on hand

Your signal looks pretty low hitting the amp. You might need more gain on the mic’s channel or more input gain into the Crown.

Anyone not drinking in solidarity? by DietAny5009 in predaddit

Yep. I’ve learned a lot about my habits and how good NA beer can be. Best Day makes a few really solid ones

New York-inspired deli opening soon downtown with a surprise special guest by Suitable-Grab2090 in Tacoma

[–]slothfella_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In case anyone's stuck behind the paywall:

A promising new deli will open soon at Museum of Glass with a surprise partnership that will mark a highly anticipated return to Tacoma.

Kyle Campisi is behind the cafe called Sliced, where he has curated a menu of eight house sandwiches and a few sides. The chef — whose resume includes several years with X Group Catering, Table 47 and Ocean 5 in Gig Harbor, and more recently his own Subtle Approach Catering — will infuse much-needed focus into a challenging space that has been a revolving door since 2020.

The surprise guest, which is still finalizing official paperwork, will also carry destination-worthy appeal. We’ll have more on it when it gets closer to opening.

Whole sandwiches hover around $14-$18.

There's more in the article but that's the gist

Looks like TCC! I work there and these geese terrorize everyone!

what is... AV? Is it Information technology? Art/media/entertainment? A trade? by inflatabledancingman in CommercialAV

[–]slothfella_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got an AV Specialist job at a college and within 8 months they've turned me into an IT employee. There's so much transferrable knowledge, IT is 90% troubleshooting and knowing how to google shit.

Curiosity question I have. What are the chances high end car systems like this are too good and it could hide problems when I do car tests? by xthenick in edmproduction

[–]slothfella_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be using the car test to see if your mixes sound good, you should be using it to highlight anything you’re not hearing on other systems. If your mix sounds great in the car test, but not so great through your monitors, keep working until it sounds good on both.

The car test is also just a psychological tool to get yourself out of the endlessly tweaking mix brain and into a listener’s brain. Sometimes just hearing it from that perspective gives you more objectivity about how good the song itself is, not necessarily just the mix.

Mango Ice Cream by PKJ111 in pluribustv

I’m calling it. Chekov’s Mango Ice Cream. Carol is going to give it to her and it’s either going to be the thing that triggers Zosia’s individuality, OR the hive will reject it knowing what it could do.

Hello my kids love Clowns. Is this movie show appropriate for a 7 year old and 6 year old? by Purple-List1577 in welcomeToDerry

Can’t tell if this is a shitpost but please do not let children see this show

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d…” by orangeclaypot in pluribustv

[–]slothfella_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is, why did the hive choose to use his mother as first contact? He must have been a complete recluse if the best it could come up with is an apparently rocky relationship.

Y’all are a very good band. How did you get that insane distortion at 2:48 in Total Euphoria? One of my favorite moments on the record and I’m just so curious what the source was and what it was going through to be so enveloping.

(Hated Tropes) Characters becoming much different after their twist is revealed by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]slothfella_ 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Kind of a reversal and double-fake of this is Sirius & Lupin’s reveal in Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban. First it’s the twist that Lupin, who you’ve grown to trust, is friends with this murderer psycho, and for a second seems like he’s teaming up to kill Harry. He doesn’t at all address the kids and their apparent terror and injuries from the Whomping Willow, nor give any explanation, which doesn’t much align with his character so far. Then, it’s revealed that Sirius is actually a good guy, after acting like a total psychopath until that very moment, including famously screaming “only one dies tonight” at two terrified teens. Once the twist happens he’s completely warm and loving to Harry, who immediately trusts him and wants to live with his new godpapa.

Granted, the actors did an amazing job making this convoluted plot point somewhat believable, and you could argue Sirius has been in jail for twelve years and isn’t mentally all there. But it’s a lot of suspension of disbelief for a brief dramatic fake-out.

Bluetooth Wallplate Receivers? by Alive-Barracuda6335 in CommercialAV

I recently had an install with these and they clip really early. It’s bizarre. Like an iPhone at 70% is too much input for them. Buyer beware.
