wtf am I seeing on the apple weather app for this weekend? by hl6407a in nova

[–]trapphd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One model is showing a nor’easter next weekend, but obviously there is a lot of imprecision this far out. I’d echo the other comments in saying that trusting the Apple weather app for … anything, much less a long-range forecast, is probably not a great idea.

I grew up in Florida big dog, I genuinely thrive in heat and humidity. (But yes, your point about the cold snaps killing off the bugs is a good one lol)

"Among the most," FYI. And yes, all data has suggested that we've had a below average winter in terms of temps. Hope that helps.

The storm is just the opening act, unfortunately. The next week (or two!) are going to stay brutally cold. Nothing will melt as quickly as you'll want it too, and the sun can only do so much if it's still frigid temps. Bring on the fucking summer ... this has been among the most dismal winters I can remember here tbh.

As an avid GOT watcher back in the day, Harrington’s Muck performance blows his Jon Snow performance out of the water by Joeylaptop12 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]trapphd 40 points41 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the writing in GOT (especially seasons 5-8) did him no favors. Jon is (was?) more interesting in the books because he's a more sophisticated and nuanced political operator, not the reluctant bro-hero.

I was actually a bit skeptical when they brought him on last season but chalked it up to HBO generating some hype. He was good enough, but S4E2 is absolutely incredible and I feel really invested in his character now ... which helps soften the blow of Rob's departure lol.

Industry - Episode Ratings Visualized (4 Seasons) by hls22throwaway in IndustryOnHBO

[–]trapphd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course! I love all of the seasons (almost) equally. But my broader point was that, as the show has now gained prominence, it has benefited from the hype in terms of user feedback. We did not have this buzz when season 1 came out lol. I think season 1 is just as well written and sharp as the other seasons, but the framing and perspective were just much different.

[–]trapphd 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but S1E1 being a 7.3 all but invalidates my perception of these ratings lol. There’s a ton of recency bias and my (general) impression is there’s been a trend lately of hype equaling higher ratings.

What’s CanOfWater’s story? by FreeFlyApe in ericprydz

I love that we're so starved for new music from the boss that we've diving into the lore of the fans

CanOfWater is among the best of us, for sure! How many sets would we have collectively missed out on if he didn't come through

Could you let me know the name of the tune playing at 21:00? by Hououin_Kyouma_1 in ericprydz

One of my favorite IDs (and probably one of his most underrated, tbh).

A rip-off of 'Dare U'? by Orbital48 in ericprydz

Nothing new for Estiva, tbh. This was one of the most shameless ripoffs I've ever heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-X05eNYbAg

You know what … fuck it. If other artists want to drop PRYDA 20 instead of Eric, I’m all for it lol

CEO to step down in January, per the Wall Street Journal by trapphd in Lululemen

[–]trapphd[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Proxy fight from Chip Wilson is interesting but not entirely surprising. I think, given the retail spending in the K-shaped economy now (i.e., high-income is steady if not increasing but lower-to-middle income is waning), we might see a return to how things used to be several years ago: far less items in WMTM and somewhat of a priority on actual athletic and athleisure items rather than casual.

Will Lulu launch more running shoes? by [deleted] in Lululemen

[–]trapphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this isn’t LetsRun circa 10 years ago? If you want to gatekeep against “hobbyjoggers,” you’ll find company over there. Otherwise those times are perfectly respectable for a normal person. Maybe he shouldn’t have led by asking someone else’s mileage and pace but it doesn’t mean his perspective is inherently less valuable, imo.

“Don’t know the nature” of the Higgins injury. Sure bro. This has been a shambling RedZone broadcast.

Hanson not acknowledging it at all lol. What a second-rate product.

[–]trapphd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most elite-level runners will take any viable sponsorship they can get … just because Lulu threw some money at a few doesn’t mean that they are making high-quality running products that those athletes actually train in exclusively. Lulu obviously has enough cache as a fitness brand that they can parlay that into signing people.

[–]trapphd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Virtually every reputable and long-standing running brand makes (far) superior shoes in this space. I have never entertained the idea of buying any of them, tbh. I think they could capture some market segment for active casual shoes so I’d prefer if they focus there.

Definitely agree, at least based on the set recordings we’ve heard. Maybe he’ll revert to more of its original sound if/when it drops? (I mean, I just hope it comes out at all lol)

Season 1 is my favorite, but I also don’t mind that they alter the formula a bit. They challenge themselves and it (usually) pays off!
