- Who's in it? -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 10:50 1
  - Scooter Braun -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:50

  - Yup, automax -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Aug 31, 10:52
  - Based on the reaction of my students, I would agree. Kids already snatching up tickets. The trailer has been well received. -- nm* - Volnelk Aug 31, 10:43

Guardians grab three Angels from the wire -- (link) - spamlet Aug 31, 10:32 17
- Reds get Renfroe and Bader -- (link) - spamlet Aug 31, 10:36 1
  - Bader is a player you love to hate. - zunk takes things literally Aug 31, 10:42
- Reporting is all players waived were claimed by someone -- (link) - spamlet Aug 31, 10:34 14
  - So, they're not asking for players back? -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:35 13
    - Can’t do waiver trades anymore, Angels mostly and a couple other teams just cut guys to free salary or 40 man spaces -- nm - Tim Aug 31, 10:37 9
      - I knew they'd done that but I forgot that waiver trades aren't a thing. MLB needs to add rules against this before next season. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:38 8
        
        Why? No, seriously. They just changed the rules in 2019 to prevent the whole you're waived but oh not really. We wanted to check your trade value -- nm - JD Aug 31, 10:40 7
        
        It's a competitive balance thing, which I've always cared about more than MLB does. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:41 6
        
        The reverse standing priority would seem to address competition and it's not even like fantasy where a team uses it priority on one player - JD Aug 31, 10:46 5
        
        That's really dumb. We had that one year in BF where it accidentally worked like that and it was chaos. -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 10:52
        
        That's why it especially matters now. Worse wild card contenders get a gift. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:47 3
        
        I thought that the whole point of adding even wilder, wild cards was to add to the chaos of the end of the season - JD Aug 31, 10:52 2
        
        nah just more money for another round of prime time games -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:54 1
        
        8-) Actually that's super true -- nm - JD Aug 31, 10:55
    - I’m honestly not sure which flavor of waivers everyone was on. I don’t think waive and trade works anymore though. - spamlet Aug 31, 10:36 2
      - I think what you're referring to was done away back in 2019 -- (link) - JD Aug 31, 10:39
      - Lux Tax Salary dump + compensation when Ohtani leaves -- nm - budice Aug 31, 10:38
I die a little inside whenever I see a post on Reddit with "what is this network jack in my house" and it is a phone jack -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 10:22
Caveman. I picked my two. Back to AutoBeak, J, budice. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 31, 10:13 2
- I can't look at Cavepeople without Kim, and she's on Zoom calls until 5. Can someone post Beaker's needs and projected top scorers for 2023? -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:21 1
  - I can get Beaker real quick -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 10:24

- DOJ seas seeking 27-33. the Trump judge downward guidelines departure -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:01 11
  - even worse than McFadden apparently. DOJ should appeal -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:04 5
    - Blowing this chart up because its helpful: -- (pic) - Jovian Aug 31, 10:18 [Attachment] 1
      - Median pct for Less Prison: 64.58% Interesting. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Aug 31, 11:08
    - also, that Mehta is more lenient than McFadden is crazy to me. The majority of Obama appointed judges all seem to be light weights actually. - Jovian Aug 31, 10:14
    - he looks like a typical maga dbag too. -- nm - Jovian Aug 31, 10:05 1
      - he looks like Alito actually -- nm - Jovian Aug 31, 10:10
  - Garland will probably appeal this like he did w the Oathkeepers. But I honestly have no problem with this sentence. 17 years is a life time imo. - Jovian Aug 31, 10:04 4
    - with good time credits knock off another 25-30% -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:05 3
      - I didn't think federal prison was as lenient as states with good time off, CA pretty much cut sentences in half just for overcrowding -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 31, 10:35 1
        
        never get to 50% in the federal system. -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:40
      - Seems fair to me. -- nm - Guy Fawkes si Aug 31, 10:06
GA Gov rejects calls for a special legislative session to impeach Fulton County DA -- (link) - znufrii Aug 31, 09:48 1
- Pretty damn forcefully I may add. -- nm - Jovian Aug 31, 10:00
i'm not sure i'd take Judge McFadden's non-denial denial for the fact that the pro se Nazi defendant didn't have my personal juror information -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 09:38 2
- whoa .. (cool handwriting there, judge) -- nm - mud Aug 31, 09:42 1
  - I await your graphological analysis. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Aug 31, 10:43
Blood Feuders - I've just finished meetings and have a little while until a full afternoon - will try to catch us up. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 09:21 4
- Thanks! I think if we can get Beaker's picks in at Vamps and Cavemen, we can get back on track quickly. -- nm - Samara Aug 31, 09:48 2
  - Took care of Beaker for Cavemen. David will get the Vampirates pick when he's online. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 10:04 1
    - Excellent. Are you able to pick players up in Vamps? I know Shay has a couple to add, not sure about others, but likely. -- nm - Samara Aug 31, 10:11
- OK all good. Theres time as you need -- nm - budice Aug 31, 09:23
Spawn, pick FFS. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:08 5
- He needs us to pick for him. I haven't had time yet (been in meetings all morning). -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 09:14 4
  - thx -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:27 3
    - and you're up (no rush, obvs) -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 10:10 2
      - You’re too nice. Tell him he’s got 30 seconds to pick or you’re drafting the lowest ranked kicker for him. -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 10:17 1
        
        Lowest ranked kicker would indicate that they're ranked. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:36
a personal best 990 miles biked in August. 6800 bikini miles YTD -- (pic) - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 31, 08:57 [Attachment] 12
- Impressive! -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:22
- wooooooo! -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 31, 10:10
- Goodness! How long does 30 miles a day take you? I peloton a lot, and would never get close to these numbers. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 09:53 2
  - 80-90 min -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 31, 09:59
  - When I did more biking I was leisurely at about 10mph. There were a lot of people who could do much faster than that over that kind of distance -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 09:55
- Woot! and here I thought I had something back in the day by running 100 miles in a month ;-) -- nm - JD Aug 31, 09:51

In other vacation news, the rescheduled Bruce shows are right in the middle of when we were likely looking to go to Ireland next year, so that’s fun. -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 08:35 2

Finally booked my summer holiday (in October). Going to Santorini for a week which has always been on my wish list. -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 07:50 16
- Sounds great! -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:29
- Amazing! If you're wanting a restaurant suggestion... -- (link) - Roger More Aug 31, 09:01 7
  - Thanks - I'm staying in Perissa which is the other end of the island, but I'll be exploring. -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 09:41 3
    - it’s a Mamma Mia! -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 10:22 1
      - Here we go again? -- nm - JD Aug 31, 10:24
    - It's a great location, but ultimately it's a grilled fish place and I'm sure there are others that are just as good (though this one is right where - Roger More Aug 31, 10:18
  - Forget the name of the place we went to there, but it was good. It’s a really neat spot. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 31, 09:28 1
    - That's the place. I recommended it to you as well. -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 09:39

re: airlines, I noted on the way home from TX that airline seats have been getting smaller while people have been getting bigger. nobody is even - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Aug 31, 07:34 15
- Seat classes should be described to match shirt sizes: S/M, L, XL, XXL, MaybeYoudBeMoreComfortableOnATrain -- nm - Max Aug 31, 12:56
- i mean, Leon is getting LAAAARGER -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 08:09
- And the newer seats are 'slimline' too, meaning less support/padding in addition to less room -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 07:43 12
  - i'd be 100% okay with losing extra inches if it made prices cheaper, but it doesn't - colin Aug 31, 09:19
  - But do they recline? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:08
  - there is no domestic flight long enough to make me pay for anything but coach. even LA-DC or NYC is just a five-hour car ride. -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 31, 08:17
  - How else are they going to pack in two more rows than the manufacturer intended? -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 07:50 8
    - What I loathe the most is the additional seat across they added on the 777s and 787s vs design. - ty97 Aug 31, 07:54 7
      - btw, how are you feeling today? -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 07:59 3
        
        Not worse, so that's good? -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 08:07 2
        
        Take what you can! -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 08:51 1
        
        absolutely! -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:17
      - Oh yeah. I was so happy when I got on a 787 and only counted 9 seats across. -- nm - spamlet Aug 31, 07:58 2
        
        If they could, they'd remove the overhead bins and hang more seats from the ceiling. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Aug 31, 07:59 1
