“ Every team in the NL East has won the World Series since 2000 except for the NY Mets” - Not Picard Nov 3, 10:13 4
- I guess the consolation prize is that at least we made one. - Tim Nov 3, 11:40
- Curious if any other division/conference has a similar stat MLB or otherwise. -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 10:32 1
  - Nothing this close - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:44
- and they lost to the Royals, of all teams -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 3, 10:16

  - **thumbs up emoji" -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:29
Eternals 54% (90/78), Spencer 87% (80/12) -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 10:03 17
- "We secretly remade Inhumans and called them Eternals, lets see if they notice" -- (link) - budice Nov 3, 10:23
- Ok I'm starting to question those RT numbers - eag Nov 3, 10:12 13
  - You know each number refers to a verified, written review, right? - Inigo Nov 3, 10:19 3
    - Yes but as I posted below a 21% percent drop from its initial score - eag Nov 3, 10:24 2
      - Like I said below, momentum for reviews works both ways. - Inigo Nov 3, 10:27 1
        
        I honestly could give a crap about RT scores - eag Nov 3, 10:38
  - Or…and this is crazy, it’s just a middling movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:16 8
    - That is not what Disney and Marvel think. They had a Best Picture FYC ready. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 10:23 4
      - Alternatively; they seeded that thought in the media as a sign of propping up a film that needed good PR. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:26 3
        
        Dude, they were talking a Best Picture nod *last* fall. They looooove this movie. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 10:28 2
        
        The PR said they were. Until they put money out, it’s PR. It’s interesting how you read the tea leaves for something but not others. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:30 1
        
        There was no PR at the time. This was 100% the internal thinking on Eternals. Execs believe it’s a masterpiece. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 10:33
    - Possibly but I don't think I've seen a movie take such a nose dive like this before it started at 75 - eag Nov 3, 10:20 2
      - 75 isn’t that high a mark in its own right so any later review would trend it down into the meh range. It snowballed. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:28
      - So, you think more than 100 established film critics are risking their reputation and jobs to intentionally tank a film that they know is good? - Inigo Nov 3, 10:24
- Here's the latest on pre-sales for Eternals. -- (link) - Inigo Nov 3, 10:07 1
  - If I was doing theatres, I'd be seeing it opening weekend. It's MCU. It's new characters. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:20
NJ Election. An adjustment was made and Murphy is now losing by ~400 votes. In other news Senate Prez Stephen Sweeney is losing his re-election bid - decline Nov 3, 10:01 1

Sidney Crosby has the Coves -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 10:00
Hey BF, make me offers on Rodgers. I don’t want morons on my team. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 09:59 2
- Would you consider trading Rodgers for Derrick Henry? -- nm - ReluctantClown Nov 3, 10:23 1
  - Nah, I'll just wait for you to cut Henry again and then trade him back to you. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 3, 12:02
Kelly, remember McKay’s as well. They have some Switch games, although demand is always high. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 09:58
Krusty sneaker alert: Xbox & Adidas -- (link) - Max Nov 3, 09:53 3
- Adidas really needs to hire better designers because those are trash. -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 09:56 2
  - I'm no sneaker aficionado but they look mundane to my eyes. Why bother partnering if the design is that minimal. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 10:07 1
    - They're very boring and the styling is quite old. If it wasn't for the logo on the side there wouldn't be much to say it's a collab with Xbox. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 3, 10:13
Maybe 156mph is the new Doc Brown benchmark for time travel? - Jovian Nov 3, 09:53 7
- I once drove 170+mph, but I was in my uncle's race car, on a closed track, with no one else on the track, with hours of training beforehand - Mr. Havens Nov 3, 11:48
- I can’t find the humor in this. That poor woman. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 09:56 4
  - Yes, I agree. Burning to death because of the criminally reckless actions of a drunk asshole is not funny in the slightest. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:08
  - I just wanna know how did Ruggs come out of it uninjured - eag Nov 3, 09:58 2
    - TBH I think cars designed to go 150 are also designed to crash at 150. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 3, 10:01
    - Drunk people are bendy and also you have to presume some props to whoever designed the corvette -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 09:59
- 156 is for 2nd place finishers. 157 is for winners. (I'm mocking spawn here and no one else) -- nm* - Remlik Nov 3, 09:54
I don't think that I've driven faster than 60mph in the past two years -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:52 21
- I often cruise at 80 in AZ/NM but *try* not to let it creep over that. You can get run down at anything less :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 10:55
- The highest speed limit near me is 90km/h (56mph). It takes an hour of driving to get to the next highest limit (one of the highest in Canada) 110km/h (almost 70mph) -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:02 6
  - who said anything about speed limits? :) -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 10:03 5
    - The RCMP Integrated Road Safety Unit. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:04 4
      - what are they integrated with ? -- nm - decline Nov 3, 10:04 3
        
        All of the municipal police forces of the area -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:08
        
        horses? -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 10:04 1
        
        Per Catan, roads are made entirely of sheep, at least when I play. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 3, 10:09
- I drove 96 yesterday. not intoxicated. -- nm - Pippy Nov 3, 09:58 10
  - Why? -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 11:08 1
    - Because drinking and driving is *wrong*. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:08
  - 88 is my set cruise speed on 70mph highways. That is why my 100+ bursts are not really that big of a deal. - Spawn Nov 3, 11:05 1
    - 80 on our 60mhp city freeways, 90 out in the country where it's posted 70. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:38
  - Please don’t do that. -- nm - Not Picard Nov 3, 10:03
  - I think the fastest I've gone was as a passenger in Germany. Before getting there I thought "The Autobahn" was some kind of special road where you - oblique Nov 3, 10:02 1
    - Yup, uncle drove us to the airport in a small vw golf, the speedo said 160 (100 mph) cars blew by us -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:47
  - Dont mess with Texas -- nm - budice Nov 3, 10:01
