Does this look infected? -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 6, 07:42 1
- "You wait two, three days, that'll fall off on its own." -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:45
how do you effectively interact with passive aggressive people? - Epiphany Nov 6, 07:40 2
- Effect is usually a noun, while affect is a verb. So, effective is correct. - David Nov 6, 07:44 1
  - Texas size 10-4 to the IM - Epiphany Nov 6, 07:57
why is it that whenever you do these things, or other large threads, you respond to everyone but me? -- nm - mud Nov 6, 07:35 2
- I'm responding to you right now! -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:37 1
  - It was a trick! -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:41
But, have you ever fallen asleep in Spaceship Earth? -- nm - rollo Nov 6, 07:30 2
- I don't think so. On our last trip, we thought we were riding Spaceship Earth for the final time. It broke down twice and Kim fell asleep. - David Nov 6, 07:33 1
  - LwtL has some great zen -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 07:49
More importantly, when's your first trip to Disney*land*?? -- nm - Meg Nov 6, 07:23 2
- We'd really like to go, but there's a pandemic. If we'd have gone last time, Tamara would have died on our last day in LA. So, I'm thankful we passed. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:27 1
  - uhhh....didn't you just go to Disneyland? -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 08:04
I asked mine below. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 6, 07:19 3
- Before I answer, what's a Caruso situation? -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:21 2
  - David Caruso leaving CSI Miami. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 6, 07:22 1
    - I just don't think the guy wanted to be in Canada, but the show definitely hasn't missed him. I like him a lot as an actor, though. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:24
Can you finally admit in your heart of hearts that Edgardo Alfonzo was a better player than Jose Vidro? (Nm) - musubi Nov 6, 07:19 14
- I have little to no memory of either of those players...but no. - David Nov 6, 07:20 13
  - Looking at their stats, Vidro had a career OPS of .804 but looks like a subpar defender. The other guy's a worse hitter but better defender. - David Nov 6, 07:24 9
    - Fonzie has a .782 OPS. They were basically the same hitter at their peaks but Fonzie was a far superior defender always. - musubi Nov 6, 07:28 8
      - "far superior" = 0.4 dWAR vs. -0.5 dWAR annually. - David Nov 6, 07:31 7
        
        1 war annually is nothing to sneeze at for players with 12 year careers - musubi Nov 6, 07:37
        
        As an outsider to this I'd like to say that defensive metrics are not very good and are at times a poor indicator of how good or bad someone is - Krusty Nov 6, 07:36 5
        
        I love baseball stats but not for defense. I think they're flawed -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 07:36 4
        
        I generally agree, but defensive starts are getting better and better. That said the eye test always confirmed Fonzie as the much better defender. - musubi Nov 6, 07:39
        
        You're right, of course. By FanGraphs scoring, the best SS in the NL didn't even make the final three for a Gold Glove. - David Nov 6, 07:37 2
        
        This year? What scoring? -- nm - musubi Nov 6, 07:41 1
        
        Their composite grade. They've got Trevor Story way ahead of anybody else. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:45
  - It was the same time period as the Pasdro Astachio brew-ha-ha. Good times. -- nm - musubi Nov 6, 07:23 2
    - I just looked. Astacio's career ERA+ was 97, so he was the slightly below average player I thought he was. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:26 1
      - Of course, because I never argues he was much more than that. - musubi Nov 6, 07:31
When's the next trip to Disney? -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 07:17 1
- January 22nd. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:18
What do I want from XBox since Cyberpunk is *...buffering* -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 07:15 2
- Ori! -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 07:28
- Honestly, the lack of load times and visual splendor make Halo: The Master Chief Collection worth going through again. - David Nov 6, 07:18
If you could magically speak three new languages, what would they be and why? -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:15 1
- Mandarin, Spanish, and Japanese. That way, Kim and I could cover most major languages...and I'd understand a lot more porn dialogue. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:16
Will Carlos Dunlap have an effect on the defensive line? -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 07:14 1
- He's a 10-year veteran who is slipping. PFF grades him at 53.9 on the year, which is terrible. So, probably not. - David Nov 6, 07:16
What is your favorite attraction at WDW -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 07:13 1
- Spaceship Earth. And I'm a sucker for Rome Burning candles. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:14
Why bother, if the answer is going to be "love"? -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 07:11 1
- For the same reason we do anything else: for the experience. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:14
Mounds or Almond Joy? -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 6, 07:11 7
- Good lord, no. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:13 6
  - Fine, Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year? -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 6, 07:17 5
    - Month/Day/Year. The other way sounds right but looks wrong. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:19 4
      - (the real question should have been Nestle Crunch or 100 Grand, and it would have paralyzed me with indecision) -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:19 3
        
        Ooo, that would be a real Sophie's Chocolate. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 6, 07:26
        
        100 grand is easily the most underrated candy bar. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 07:26 1
        
        I feel like you have to mentally prepare before you eat a 100 Grand. -- nm - rollo Nov 6, 07:28
Who's cooler, Dan or Casey? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 07:11 1
- Casey, and Dan knows it. -- nm - David Nov 6, 07:13
