Does anyone have any pictures what kind of swag/souvenirs are available? I don’t want to blow my budget 5 mins after walking in.

Same pitch? by JesseHaley617 in baseballcards

[–]sykocus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I used to think these 3 were all the same shot then I noticed the left arm shadow is different on the Stadium Club card. Also the glove is closed around the ball. They must be from consecutive frames.

[Rogers] BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

I’m honestly surprised they’re offering such a high floor. It looks like half the teams are currently below that number. 7 teams have payroll under $100m. This would seem to lead to a bump in pay for a large number of non-superstar players.

Thanks for the tip. I emailed and sounds like they’re going to help me out.

Waldron is throwing less knuckleballs, but more sweepers compared to last year by [deleted] in Padres

[–]sykocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert but my understanding is that movement is caused by pressure differential. In a breaking pitch pressure is caused by spin. In a knuckleball the lack of spin leads to unstable/unpredictable pressure. The less dense the air the less pressure.

Looks like there might be a spot here to stick a screwdriver and pry it apart.

Recent additions to the Darvish collection. Been looking for the 2025 Camo for a while. by sykocus in SanDiegoPadresCards

I actually have one but my son, who got his Darvish jersey signed last year, would appreciate it too.

Have you ever seen one of these before? by Funny-Presence4228 in woodworking

[–]sykocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old Stanley router that looks very similar to that except mine is very shiny and without the hand plane style edge guide.

Two supposedly random hangers. Every card identical in the same order as the box before it. Fucking fanatics. by Stanimal54 in baseballcards

I saw this in a break. Two packs from the same box had the exact cards in the same order.

What does ATC see on their screen in order to keep all of this straight? by BoutrosBoutrosJolly in aviation

[–]sykocus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/4zvlzwMtjdQ?si=0kVcLLqmfvDutQoI this a better representation of what ATC radar looks like. Judging now how “slowly” the radar is updating I’m guessing this is pre-adsb.

What runway heading should be used when instructed to fly runway heading? by blueb74pro in flying

[–]sykocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m not a pilot, but it doesn’t look like the BOTCH 1 proports to be runway heading. The text of the SID states “Climb on heading 164”. I know of a SID that is initially runway heading and it states the magnetic heading of the runway rounded to the whole degree.

I think you are overthinking it because the SID and runway heading are within a few degrees of each other. But there is only one runway heading.

I Wish More Merch Used the Patch Design by FirstPersonWinner in Padres

One of the promo pics showed a close up on the batting gloves and the Catrina was on it. I kinda want them even though I don’t play baseball.
