    - In fact, YouTube keeps trying to show me that pilot! -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:56 5
      - YouTube needs to make a distinction between "Don't want to see" and "I've already seen this, god dammit!" -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:58 4
        
        They really do. I get angry when they try to feed me rightwing stuff. -- nm - David Aug 18, 11:04 3

Johnny Fucking Bench says shut the hell up about the Grand Slam. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 18, 10:18 16

  - I gotta admit that I don't get this. Bayern was up 4-1 to at half, 6-2 at one point and Bayern's response was to put in the player that Barcelona - JD Aug 18, 10:57
- He's not gonna miss his shot. And he *SHOULDN'T* miss his shot. The criticism is b.s. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:30 2
  - Especially from his manager. Looking forward to the public daily recap on each player that missed a sign. -- nm - zunkskunk+ Aug 18, 10:35 1
    - Alternate reality manager: Man, I didn't expect that 9th inning comeback. Tatis should have swung on 3-0. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:50
- Zero in on pitch, if you get it. Why not hit it 3-0 -- nm* - the ice Aug 18, 10:24 9
  - I think we're seeing a cultural shift in the game. For decades there were unwritten rules that nearly every player followed. You learn the rules - Krusty Aug 18, 10:52 4
    - And even then - 10-0 ... kind of shitty. 2-0, you're the tying run, get on however you can! - Reagen Aug 18, 11:07
    - If they're unwritten, they ain't rules. They're hardly even guidelines. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:54 2
      - It's how the players police the game themselves, sort of. The players over the years have decided there are things you should or shouldn't do - Krusty Aug 18, 17:30
      - Show me in the rules where I can't bang on a garbage can! -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:55
  - cause baseball players are prima donnas who get the feewings hurt, I guess -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:29 3
    - Or perhaps some vague notion of sportsmanship. If you're up 64-0 in the fifth inning, sure, take the K. If you're still in single-digits, the notion… - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:53 2
      - Correct. That's the issue here. People that are upset with him thought the game was well in hand so he shouldn't be looking to swing away - Krusty Aug 18, 10:56 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:58
- Reggie Jackson -- (link) - Reagen Aug 18, 10:19

  - Glad it's fake. Not glad it made it to people I follow for legit news -- nm - TWuG Aug 18, 10:15
  - Who then tweeted "Now I see how QAnon spreads."... -- nm - Guigue Aug 18, 10:13

- ...convicted rapist Brock Turner? -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:09 1
  - Maybe that's who Trump will pardon next...to get more female voters? -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:10
LYC: Seems like 90% of the problems people are having with remote learning are around how our school did SSO with Zoom. They have Google based email - oblique Aug 18, 09:42 1
- publicity, first name basis (like 'scotch' tape) people use the word zoom for any video conferencing -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 13:08
The online gambling site, Robinhood is now worth more than MGM or Wynn -- (link) - decline Aug 18, 09:37 4
- What is different about it, anything? - JaxSean Aug 18, 09:47 2
  - There's some UI things that gamify it a bit, but no fee trading naturally makes it daytrader friendly. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 09:54
  - now? not much. I think it was the first (or one of) to offer $0 commission trades. The app became popular so I'm assuming it's easy to use -- nm - decline Aug 18, 09:54
- Stonks! -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 18, 09:42

Mop. Fun video that Wonder Woman is probably a $200 plus book and that Tales to Astonish 4 is probably $400 plus book. -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 09:32 1
- It was pretty cool. Guy doesn't know comics very much so I thought it was gonna be just a bunch of junk. - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:27

- Good to hear! Do you know if it was the Abbott Labs rapid test? No particular reason I'm asking except - zunkskunk+ Aug 18, 09:35 2
  - It was not. The rapid test was an antigen test, the Abbot test is a fast "full" test. There is a place near us that apparently uses the Abbot test - pmb Aug 18, 09:39 1
