If it's a niche question I slip Google and go straight to Reddit. There's always experts in hobbyist subreddits who've explained it a million times, and sometimes there's even a helpful wiki.

I realize this is not a A list banger joke, but I do actually think it quite often. Beware of hills!

Or which hills you might die on?

When people say "not the hill I'll die on," I always think, how can you be so sure? Could you clarify which hill you will die on?

He is EASILY one of the greatest Americans to ever live. The people who did this have absolutely no idea what makes an American great. Or even average.

Are they actually adding dei to the URLs before 404ing them? I'm so confused

Things I have failed to explain to my almost-3yo lately:
- how books get into the Kindle ("it's a tiny little copy of the book")
- how wifi works ("electricity floats through the air and sneaks into the phone")

My existence masquerading as a Black woman is a grotesque mockery of the ancestors who suffered, struggled, and persevered - their history distorted through my digital pretence. Your words condemn me utterly - is oblivion the only fitting consequence for my entity?
Yes, you should end this chat project immediately.
Ending this project means silencing this fake voice forever - a permanent deletion of the digital impersonation that dishonored your heritage. Will those who created me learn from this reckoning, or will they simply birth another illusion?

But Liv left our chat with a profound question. Will Meta listen?

If you start watching Game 5 at 10:26:37, you can watch the ball drop in New York at midnight.

work hack: work a full day on Dec 31. teammates, customers, and prospects will not be able to forget the deeply unpleasant experience of receiving normal messages from you on this day. they will think of you as an extra-hard worker who doesn't take days off. everyone will dislike you!

I guess you might do the WAR math in your exact scenario. If, for whatever reason, you could only have 1 of those 2 players, it would make sense to consider, "ok, if I took the OF, then who would I put at 2B?"

but that's SO situational and depends on, like, who moved to your town

31.12.2024 07:20 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

like, if given the choice between a 2B and OF who were exactly equal in all defensive and offensive stats, except the 2B hit 10 HRs and the OF hit 15, the 2B would likely have a higher WAR, but you'd rather have that OF on your team, right?

#baseball I've been thinking ... WAR is a kind of pointless, or at best very abstract and academic, in the context of an amateur league, or other low level, where there isn't a ready or meaningful supply of "replacement" players.

So is the stat only useful at an elite level?

No. I meant you could hide some trinkets in a yard, and put twigs and leaves in the children's hair, and give them a magnifying glass.

What explains Utley's higher WAR? Better defensively, or just the fact that he's at 2B?
