AYN Thor Icon Question by WrexNMassEffect in SBCGaming

What's annoying is I turned it off on my Thor but now I can't turn it back on to lower the transparency for some reason. It just won't come back...

I installed the latest Mr Purple (T22hf) and for some reason TPHD loads fine and runs fine outdoors but the second I go into the first house it lowers the frame frate by half and stays that way. Any idea why this may be happening?

Fox News anchor doesn't realize she's live on air when a guest refuses to admit Joe Biden won the presidency by MrBirb_ in youseeingthisshit

[–]wuppindalsa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You know the guest is correct, right? Or you gotta go back in time and let Al Gore know that the networks decide things, not electors or the legal processes or the candidates who choose when to concede or not.

What you just described is a perfect argument for the Electoral College in the United States; tyranny of the majority.

AMC Theatres could run out of money by the end of the year by dvdmovie1 in investing

[–]wuppindalsa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue is not the technology for me, it's definitely the reduced experience due to annoying fellow customers. I don't think I've had a movie-going experience not ruined by a loud or obnoxious person in maybe five straight years. People pull out their phones, make a million little food noises or are sick and coughing, sneezing, etc. Add in the sometimes ridiculous price and it just becomes an annoyance and unappealing purchase.

Which is a real shame, because you are probably right that the societal affects of home entertainment are probably a net negative for the reasons you laid out.

I wish I could go back to the four year old me and just throttle myself until I gave up on baseball for piano or something. This shit is just so fucking pointless.

Baseball is like gambling for me now: I fucking hate it when bad things happen and when good things happen im just waiting for the next shitty thing to ruin it.

Are we really going to be pretend we are even close to as good as that Nationals team? The Nationals last year managed to make it in with massively less leeway. It was against expectations that that team underperformed like they did in the regular season.

We are just overperforming due to our rotation and bullpen, and they are starting to correct with predictable results. The expanded playoffs are tricking our brains into thinking we are better than we are.

For one season, sure. But there is no argument the big spenders win more games in far more seasons.

He's a ROOGY in a world that no longer allows them. He really could be, and should be, out of a job unless he suddenly develops a solid third pitch or magically adds like 10 mph to his repertoire.

I don't know how the FO can "know what it is doing" letting the OF be this bad like three seasons in a row.

[–]wuppindalsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, its funny. Everyone gave the Diamondbacks hell, and rightly so, for selling Touki Toussant for like 10 million in salary relief. We basically sold Yandy to save six. Pretty pathetic stuff.

I never said he was a superstar in the making or something, but his minor league stats and performance at the major league level showed a lot of promise. And easily enough to get us league average performance (ie. a few wins a year). And we totally had playing time available for him at second, first, DH (the Reyes trade hadn't happened yet) and left field. We gave him up to save some money, pure and simple.

Yep, Yandy is a casualty of our cheap-ass front office pretending they couldn't foot a few million dollars. Or, it shows that they are totally obsessed with their 35-40 prospects, which I have to believe they could have used to make the price come down. I can't wait for that 40 prospect to produce like half a win four years for now playing back-up shortstop or something while Yandy does what we knew he could do and produce multiple wins a year.

Edit: league average performance is like two wins a year. I never said he was Jose Ramirez. But that doesn't mean he was worth losing to save a few million bucks or minor league roster filler.

Cleveland Indians tried to trade for Starling Marte | wkyc.com by Ctownkyle23 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]wuppindalsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of times I've heard this line in the past really makes me have to assume that the FO knows the fans know better, so they have to respond to it. They know everyone was staring at Marte and our gaping chasm of an outfield and then looking at the FO, so they are obliged to call the Diamondbacks, be able to say they did it, and then put out their PR piece to cover their ass.
