  - It's a Beauty and the Beast thing, and I always assumed they were all frozen as they were when they were cursed. - Andie Dec 10, 10:51 3
    - I wonder if the Beast was a tea drinker. -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 10:56

    - This was my assumption as well. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 10:51

    - I wonder if they view this as an adventure, or if they feel demeaned? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 10:52 1
      - Dave met them, it was just a job. They were nice and professional, and just pretty matter of fact about it. -- nm - Andie Dec 10, 10:55

So, in WAR terms, Baines is tied for 545th all-time. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 09:25 11
- He finished in MVP top ten voting twice. He got 9th once and 10th once. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 10:07 5
  - DH bias most of his career. -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 10:11 4
    - He also never had a great year in WAR. He cracked 3 WAR one time (4.3 in 1984) - Will Hunting Dec 10, 10:16 3
      - Ortiz was in a different era. Baines had been playing 7 seasons before Edgar started. - groiny Dec 10, 10:26 2
        
        Murray is not apt to Baines. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 10:53 1
        
        Murray season to season was similar to Baines, but Murray produced higher totals for a longer period. - groiny Dec 10, 11:05
- Hall of Guys Who Were Good For A Long Time And Also Nice To Me -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 09:48
- Better yet -- Will Clark was on this ballot and has a WAR of like 56. They can't even fubar for the better non-deserving guy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 09:40 1
  - yeah, Will Clark deserves better. -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 09:51
- Did you see who were on the committee this year? He had six votes before the first argument was cast. (Needed and got 12.) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 09:39 1
  - You know that look on Thomson's face in 1776 when he is announcing the declaration just passed? That's the look all these guys had. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 10, 09:57
Nothing has made me more irrationally happy in 2018 than the Gritty bandwagon. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 09:19 3

- Gritty for Oscars host. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 10:02
- Calder Trophy finalist! (in a just world) -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 10:00
I finally got around to trying the Astro Bot Rescue Mission demo for PSVR. It's spectacular. I will be buying the full game in the near future. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 09:12
Seems there's someone in England with my name and using it on gmail (without the period between names) - Meg Dec 10, 09:11 24
- I get my Internet-doppleganger's email all the time. - ReluctantCynic Dec 10, 10:32 2
  - I tried a Google search and got pages and pages of Meghan Markle links. Seems she has some Galway heritage :) -- nm - Meg Dec 10, 10:45 1
    - Maybe you're related? - ReluctantCynic Dec 10, 11:01
- Gmail ignores periods. So if you send something to [email protected], it's no different than [email protected] or any variation. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 09:16 18
  - Yup. I told my gf that years ago and she didn't believe me. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 09:35 1
    - Looks like there is a caveat. Note: If you use Gmail through work, school, or other organization (like yourdomain.com or yourschool.edu) - JaxSean Dec 10, 09:53
  - That was what I thought, so I wonder if they misspelled her name. It's from an automated 'no reply' email and at first I thought it might be spam. -- nm - Meg Dec 10, 09:33
  - Huh. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 09:20 14
    - They also ignore + and anything after it so if you want to make "unique" email addresses to see who is selling your contact info, you can do - oblique Dec 10, 09:21 12
      - Didn't they stop that a few years back? -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 09:35 2
        
        No, still works. More websites don't let you do it, though as a check on the front end. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 09:57 1
        
        I remember a bunch of years ago when Amazon.ca was giving $10 off an order of $40 or more for new customers. - Shaun Dec 10, 09:59
      - Everytime I've tried this the system I was trying to give such an email to would not accept the + -- nm - zork Dec 10, 09:25 5
        
        Yeah, that's been the most common glitch in the system. + is a valid SMTP email address per the spec but quite a few places get hung up on it - oblique Dec 10, 09:26 4
        
        Yeah, it just depends on how robust the system is that you're creating an email address account/subscription for. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 09:31
        
        It they know that truck and are preventing it. -- nm - zork Dec 10, 09:28 1
        
        Trick, truck ... Potato, potahto -- nm - zork Dec 10, 09:29
        
        The spec is not very well defined, basically any filtering on email address characters is going to hit an edge case. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 09:27
      - I did this for my badge at ReInvent, which all the vendors scanned using RFID - giving them my email address. - Beryllium Dec 10, 09:23 2
        
        It works really well also for "fooling" hackers because it is typically unique for the place you give your email to but if someone thinks your -- (edited) - oblique Dec 10, 09:25 1
        
        This is not what I was expecting and is a valuable tip, thanks. -- nm - zork Dec 10, 09:27
    - Yeah, it has been mentioned on ST. I use it. You can set up filters using it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 09:20
- .....she just.....doesn't know she'll need it yet, is what you're saying, right? Right??? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 09:13
- Euphemism? -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 09:12
Wow. My new job? Just ended and I'm not being told why. - zork Dec 10, 09:00 22

- lame. were you on contract? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 09:16
- Thanks -- nm - zork Dec 10, 09:15
- F**k! That blows. Hopefully a bigger and better door opens in the near future. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 09:09
- I'm so sorry -- nm - decline Dec 10, 09:07
- Shit. Sorry to hear. Any recourse through Ministry of Labour or somesuch? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 09:07 1
