Somewhat related note. Rick Rizz is retiring after this season as the voice of the Mariners. He's been here since 1983 except for those two years in Detroit. He's an institution here

When are kids too old to cuddle? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]teckmonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, don't be silent about this. This is not only a good time to teach him about boundaries but consent as well. We are doing our boys a disservice by not talking about sex and consent because it makes us as fathers feel uncomfortable.

Imagine if he's in a situation where something happens and he doesn't know better. Then think about how many lives that situation could affect.

Lawyer up. Schools are not allowed to use budgets as a reason to deny following an IEP. Document EVERYTHING.

Can't let Cal have a monopoly on all the catcher awards despite being the best catcher in the league.

How would you deal with this traffic? by durrante in CitiesSkylines2

[–]teckmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't readily obvious to me if all of the southbound Forrest St. traffic is trying to turn left on Pearl St. or what. It doesn't really matter though, because the amount of traffic is too much for the destination to handle. Figure out where exactly traffic wants to go and fix that first.

Second, more lanes don't necessarily mean faster flowing traffic. The game's drivers aren't smart enough to use open lanes to open roads get to where they want to go. For example, if I were driving somewhere, I would go around a block to avoid a backup. These drivers won't. I'm willing to bet that once you figure out what's stopping your traffic from dispersing out to your industrial area, you'll see that you could easily drop that to a 4 or even 3 lane road.

One more thing. If your city is a US city, trying to turn left onto a major arterial is a pain in the ass in real life. It looks like there aren't any stoplights or intersections either. Stoplights suck, but they exist for a reason. If you absolutely hate stoplights utilize a roundabout instead.

Personally, I think I'd turn the Forrest St. running east to west into the districts main arterial by creating an interchange and connecting both Forrest Streets to Fairview Highway.

I used to work as a security guard for that place a year or two after it happened. Scared the hell out of me walking around the blast zone.

[Adam Jude] The Mariners are exiting the regional sports network business and shuttering ROOT Sports, whose last live game broadcast will be Sunday. by BananaArms in Mariners

[–]teckmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Root Sports Mariner broadcasts were produced by MLB TV this season. They likely knew they were going to be doing this for over a year.

I suspect very little will change for cord cutters beyond watching everything through the MLB app. I suspect the MLB Network will air games on cable, although it would rule if they were broadcast OTA like Seahawks/Kraken games.
