MLB, tell me Angel Hernandez is a terrible ump without telling me he’s a terrible ump -- (link) - spamlet Apr 25, 18:51 6

        See below. I think it's all over with Kyrie and KD. I think Kyrie's gone and KD will ask to be traded. Kyrie can ball, there's no question about that. - Krusty Apr 25, 19:06 2

        I can't imagine what his trade value is now. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 19:25

I know that this isn't an airport and you don't have to announce your departure, but I did indeed deactivate my Twitter as I said I would. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 17:39 20
- Shouldn't you wait and see if there's actually a reason to do that? - Cuzzin Todd Apr 25, 18:07 4
  - Not really. I said it was something I would do if it was going to happen and it's going to happen. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 18:07 3
    - Yep, same rationale as me. I'm not one for empty threats, even if the threat borders on the immaterial. I'm gone, deleted the app and the bookmark. NM - Marlowe Apr 25, 19:20 2
      - It’s not like we matter, I get that. My Amazon boycott has hurt me way more than it’s hurt them. But I don’t run at the mouth and not back it up. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 19:24 1

- I’m waiting until we receive our money back from Hertz. If we don’t have it by Friday - off to Twitter I goooooo!! -- nm - kelly Apr 25, 17:59
- I am saving mine till he does something. It won't be long I expect. -- nm - Andie Apr 25, 17:42 7
  - I'm not going to try and convince anyone or anything. I don't imagine it'll take long before Trump is back. He has an re-election campaign to announce -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 17:45 2
    - Eh, the only place I’ll see Trump’s tweets are here so… - spamlet Apr 25, 18:48 1
      - I imagine if he’s let back on, the number of times I involuntarily am subjected to his yammering will be significantly greater than now. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 19:26
  - Yeah, as others have pointed out, the two likeliest outcomes are - Reagen Apr 25, 17:43 2

Strongbad—Fish Bowl #SB12 invites are going out! Let’s get this for ya! -- nm - Flavorize Apr 25, 17:36
Question: How would I guess the weight of a 48V 15.6Ah ebike battery? I need to know if it weighs more than 23 pounds on its own. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:34 6
- google the maker and look at the specs. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 25, 17:39 1
  - They only listed the total weight, not the separated weight -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:40
- Do you have a scale for weighing yourself? You can hold it and weigh yourself and then do it without the battery. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 17:37 1
  - That would involve going and buying it. I meant in advance, by using a web browser. :D -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:40
- hmm, looks like about 12 pounds. Drat. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:35 1

- Whelp, it had a nice run. -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 17:26
- ST is a NFT and I already own it -- nm - budice Apr 25, 17:22 3
  - Oops, I just stole it. -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 17:26 2
    - what's more embarrassing, getting your Apes stolen on Instagram, or owning Apes in the first place? -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 17:49 1
      - We're still in high tide. It ain't dumb until the tide goes out. -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 18:16
