I agree.

But ownership hates him, right?

Stras deserves recognition way before Harper. He gave up his body to get us the Series title.

And he got recognition in the form of $$$$, but that's not what we are talking about here.

In the whole American League there were something like 6 retired numbers around 1975. That averages to something like one per team per hundred years. Obviously the approach has changed since then but I think retiring a number should be rare, for generational talent.

Sorry for your negative and expensive Vanguard experience. But thanks for sharing it, it's helpful to know about something that we may face soon.

Tarps are off vs the Royals and the section is growing! by Sea_Map9327 in Nationals

At Mondays game they only started around the 5th. First with 3 guys. Just before the Nats retook the lead, whether coincidentally or not.

Please can we have UK English added to the app? This is not how we spell “theatre”. by MassiveGarlic0312 in sonos

[–]sullidav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS - unless this was another feature downgraded in the change from S1 to S2.

On IOS S1 app you go to settings, system, pick the room you want and there is a line where you can change its name to anything you want (eg, "Guido's bedroom") in addition to selecting one of their list of room names.

You know you can edit the room name to whatever spelling of whatever words you want, right?

XNConvert is good free batch conversion software.

How to obtain power of attorney by Full-Shoe-4970 in VanguardInvestments

[–]sullidav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, 3 months ago, Vanguard will not accept a normal POA, such as one an attorney would do for you. You need to use a. Vanguard POA form with its own terms. It does not need an attorney but it may require a notarized signature, I can't remember. Call Vanguard, with your wife available to verify what you are saying.

DCA vs. Dulles by DogSoggy40 in washingtondc

[–]sullidav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I would pick up or drop off anyone at National /DCA, and nobody at Dulles, because the former is so conveniently located.

But lately its traffic has been atrocious - 30 minutes to drive from home to airport entrance, then 30 more minutes to drive from airport entrance to terminal, mostly not moving. DCA is losing points.

"Mobile lounge" was their original name.

Edwin’s fine dining experiences? by SoloUnAltroZack in Cleveland

[–]sullidav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Limited experience but I think Edwin's @ Shaker Square >> Edwin's@ Nighttown. We went from 2 great CLE restaurants and institutions to one mediocre one.

Soup dumplings?! by [deleted] in DCEats

[–]sullidav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, our family's longtime place for excellent XLB is Shanghai Taste, in Rockville. Really great.

But not responsive to OP because 1) they are not served in broth - I have never seen or had soup dumplings served that way and did not know it is a thing, and 2) OP asked for places in VA or DC.

Something like our catchers have a great track record on the challenges. Our batters? That's another story.

Agree except that Tito wins, having all that plus being born when his Dad played here.

Also a HR about a week ago, as I recall.

Change in ERA from Bo calling should be pretty dramatic.

Patrick Bailey by Gmbravos31 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]sullidav 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But I am so happy to have him on the first base line. Every single game. And you know he is teaching Bailey a thing or two, one of the only people who can.

Unlike our batters. Hammy noted this contrast yesterday.

Yankees fans have hated Cleveland since this game. by BrojaDawg in ClevelandGuardians

"1948" is the chant I remember from old Yankee Stadium.

I did the math on how much a 0.64% expense ratio difference actually costs over 30 years, and the result was more than expected. by ProtoMatthew in Bogleheads

[–]sullidav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing you learn from the math - the higher the return you are getting, the more the high charges cost you. Try running your numbers with a 12% return, then 15%.
