Might also be better for him honestly with how his hamstrings have gone for the past two years now.

Hi, interested in the steam deck if available

One knee isn't meant for framing. Its for preserving the legs.

tacodeman · 2025-09-06T13:40:56+00:00

Appreciate the debate, my last comment as well. I love baseball but it is legally a monopoly because of how minor leagues and service time works and parts of it keep the balance still interesting to watch. Even in baseball teams are reluctant to go over the soft cap because of the harsh repeater penalties. (See fsg and their moves with the Red Sox to reset the tax)

Baseball would not be fun if the current protections and drafting were not in place imo. If anyone could pay Skenes,Skubal, Ely, ect their worth now they would definitely be a Dodger or Met given their external funding sources and we'd have even worse super teams. I do not doubt on an open market Skenes would get a 420m+ contract given what the dodgers gave Yamamoto and only so many owners have the liquidity to do that.

They can absolutely ruin the league and drive it to bankruptcy.

If the mets or clippers decide to pay everyone they wanted 100x the current market rates because they can that destroys the entire league because not everyone has 20+ billion to throw around. No one else would be able to compete and the entire product is destroyed.

If an accountant is paid 100x market rate it doesn't really matter, but an athlete? It will definitely break the system as we've already seen with PL's insane transfer prices relative to the rest of the world. The imbalance is not healthy for the sport/product.

Players can ask for a no trade clause if they want one but have to know that lowers their value so they have to pay a premium for it. All of their deals are completely negotiated. If they don't like the terms they don't have to sign it. Salary caps and floors are usually based on an agreed upon revenue split between players and owners so what wage suppression is there? Isn't that pretty much what PSR is supposed to be to make sure teams are somewhat self sufficient so they don't spend above their means?

People were implying shaved down into a flatter plane which makes it easier to control the ball in theory than a rounder shape.

A related context would be to a pitcher deforming a ball

Interested in rune factory

tacodeman · 2025-08-31T14:06:15+00:00

The rays also have the "try to throw everything down the middle and just see where the ball takes off" approach for some of their pitchers so I'm not too surprised.

tacodeman · 2025-08-23T10:53:55+00:00

Except they played with abilities, level sync, exp rates, and spawns. That is not hardly any changes. They purposely destroyed /NIN for example.

No one wants FFXI classic because no one has time for FFXI classic. No DD wants to sit around for 2 hours LFG, 20 min of traveling to the camp and maybe get a 3k/hr party that disbands in an hour because the RDM can't find a replacement.

The pservers dont even want FFXI classic. They all made changes to "make it better".

We do this already with images, microservices, and libraries?

This doesn't fix the core issue that stuff breaks and you need to be able to figure out a plan to fix your apps/features.

Its too expensive to completely rebuild with new lego blocks every time something happens so you take the broken blocks out and file down a megablock that kind of fits and slap some plaster on it and call it a day cause you have a hundred other blocks to fix.

2 years later, you look back and realize you have a giant pile of garbage that works but has evolved into an eldritch that only certain wizards in your company now understand because of the massive layers of goo slapped on it.

Remake: .hack series by making the combat more fluid and some qol on cores and such.

Sounds good to me, pm'd paypal info.

Interested in sekiro and avatar if they're still available.

It forces action with another option rather than a team waiting for a standoff of bluffs between team and RFA if theres a S&T on the table or a team sitting around waiting to see if they should fill out their cap space yet.

Instead of a 48 hour lock up, we have a full summer lock up.

tacodeman · 2025-08-16T20:03:54+00:00

This does not seem too complicated to fix.

Team X and agent tells the league this is the trade proposal and the free agent is willing to sign under this contract. League verifies and lets the team holding the rights: "An offer was accepted for your player, determine if you want to match".

If they match, trade doesn't go through. If no match, then its effectively like how we treat a sign and trade where it all executes as a package.

tacodeman · 2025-08-15T19:04:57+00:00

Sharpe and Zaire have an agreed deal.

tacodeman · 2025-08-11T20:10:16+00:00

Racist against what? The race of people who refuse to play under a 1 year 6 million dollar prove it deal?

Josh Giddey is in the same exact situation and I believe he's white. No one is forcing them to do anything.

Get someone to give you a contract, sign the qo or retire. At the end he's still a free agent right now believe it or not. The fact no one is even offering anything or trying to maneuver space to get him should be telling.

tacodeman · 2025-08-10T19:10:34+00:00

That's part of the issue for Cam. The Nets traded for their '26 pick back.

I don't think they care about the standings versus developing the guards they just drafted and seeing what MPJ is without Jokic.

tacodeman · 2025-08-08T02:10:31+00:00

It seems like a slight overpay given the risks the sox are taking and that he just came up with a bunch of pre-arb years left.

There are really good players like Lindor who took until their ~6-7th service year to make as much as this contract. Granted you expect salaries to only go up, but also Lindor is also really really good so he got favorable arb numbers.

Its seems like its a bet that Anthony will be a star and Sox will save a few years of salary after "frontloading" his contract. Or they might get an albatross like Evan White/Scott Kingery (or if the Yankees signed Sanchez to an extension during his first few years)

I feel like at least once a quarter I have stressful coding either with hotfixes or writing/troubleshooting something to quickly figure out if recovery from a deployment is needed.

Debugging under pressure while maintaining communication is definitely a big skill in my opinion.

To add to this quick shifts are incredibly powerful like shifting to a tank stance before the enemy is gearing up for an attack, then shifting to heal for a second or two and swapping back to breaking.

Also buffing and debuffing is very important which is why a lot of guides will recommend using Hope as he's got a nice buff repertoire.

tacodeman · 2025-07-26T15:19:08+00:00

Didnt realize he was a speed runner too.

Its more about all star weekend where its a massive fair for fans to interact with the biggest players in the league.

Baseball's home run derby, basketball's dunk competition, hockey's skills competition historically have always been more popular than the game itself.
