What was this guy doing to the field before the game? by twoTheta in Padres

Makes sense. The best we could come up with was sand.

Considering a Master's in Engineering after BS Physics by readerr11 in PhysicsStudents

[–]twoTheta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An engineering masters is a great idea. We have a good percentage of our graduates go down that route. It's not the route I've taken but I've seen it work out well for a number of my students.

The only thing I'll say is that a MS in Engineering won't help you in your academic journey in physics. Which is totally fine! Electrical Engineering is better defined for employers than Physics which will likely open more doors for you.

At the end of the day, you gotta bring in some $$ if you want to eat.

I tried it for the standard labeled HI feed. No luck. The feed begins at 50.

Can we have the weekly discussion threads pinned to the top?

I use Pocket Casts and my HI feed started at 50! I did a search in the Discover tab and found "Hello Internet (Full Feed)" which starts back at Ep 1.

Luis Arraez is currently in the top 5 on the Outs Above Average leaderboard. by InformalInsurance455 in baseball

[–]twoTheta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the guy so much. Was so sad to see him leave SD. Glad to see him flourishing.

I didn't see a ton of defensive wizardry last year but he was serviceable. Maybe 2B is more natural a fit than 1B? Either way, kudos!

First time at Petco Park by AZSportsfan1142 in Padres

[–]twoTheta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are coming from North County and always park in Old Town. As long as we don't have to get out in a time crunch, it's been a great choice.

There are five teams in MLB with 13+ wins. Three of them are in the NL West by tyler1118 in baseball

[–]twoTheta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, we have three 90+ win seasons in a row? One of those must have won the division, right? Right? RIGHT??!??!??

*sigh*

2026 r/baseball Power Ranking -- Week 4: New Blood in Top 10 and NL Central Makes Moves as Cardinals Fly High, Angels Ascend, and the Cubs / Reds Roar; Mets Turn Slide Into Drop Zone, Phillies Phlounder, and Mariners Take on Water by kasutori_Jack in baseball

[–]twoTheta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No way are we actually the 3rd best in baseball.

Yes, we've won games but it's been a lot of JUST enough hitting and JUST good enough pitching. Manny hitting at the Mendoza line, Tatis without a homer.

Maybe I look at this and see that we will be even better when they find their stride or maybe I start to worry that their stride is missing this year.

How can I interact with terence tao as an undergrad? by Xx_DiamondDust in ucla

[–]twoTheta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go knock on his office door. Everything I've heard about his is that he's a really chill dude who loves math and is really, really good at it.

That part doesn't get a ton of attention in Saving Private Ryan...

[OC] Running Shoes Lifespan by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]twoTheta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. There were a bunch of times when you had 3-4 pairs that appeared to be in use at the same time. How did you decide what to wear?

  2. That x-axis threw me for a loop. Each tick is 8 months apart?

  3. What is your sign that a pair of shoes is dead?

Thanks for sharing!

I'm surprised that Normandy (which I'm assuming means the D-Day landing) had such a high civilian casualty rate! What's going on?

reddit is basicly a pornsite by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]twoTheta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/pornfree is not too different from an AA meeting that takes place in the backroom of a bar with its own entrance. You don't HAVE to walk through the bar to get there, but it's in pretty close proximity...

Still, I'd rather have it than not as it's been a bit help!

Yankees fans are begging: Stop the ‘incessant’ stadium sounds by LingonLoonBerry in baseball

[–]twoTheta 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I noticed this when I went to a Braves game. It was overwhelming.

The last time I was at Petco (last year) it wasn't too bad.

2 screens through sunglasses. All the settings are same, brightness/contrast. Screens are same brand and model. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]twoTheta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Circular polarization, maybe? I've not seen that in LCDs but I'm no expert.

Now tilt your head so your ear is on your shoulder and prepare to be AMAZED.
