I remember a walk-off pitch violation by my team. That sucked. Although it was bases loaded with no outs so they probably weren't going to win anyway.


A balk-off?

A balk-off?

Left out a word - pitch clock violation.


The term walk-off pisses me off.


It's descriptive. The other team is playing the field and needs to "walk-off" after having given up the winning run. In all other situations, the defense makes the final out and gets to celebrate.

So, good one for this thread!

Well that's, like, your opinion man.

When people disguise the fact they are bragging about their neighborhood by talking about their neighbors house.

Phil Helmuth is a big user of this. (Though I haven't seen a Helmuth interview in a few years.)


When the first cuppa coffee from the freshly brewed pot tastes sooo much better (and goes down so much quicker) than any of the subsequent cups (and I drink them all!).


People writing "cuppa". It's bad enough when they say it, but writing it is just too far!


People complaining about not being able to watch ABC and ESPN on YouTubeTV.

Screw 4K - can't tell the difference in that and 1080p anyway

And if you aren't aware Disney now has a 70% stake in Fubo and Hulu + Live TV, so i doubt they take ABC and ESPN off of their menu.

Interface on Fubo is not as smooth as YouTubeTV, but I'll get over it.

TL;DR
Quit acting like YouTubeTV is somehow holding you hostage.

PS Pricing was about $6 a month more but essentially a wash for channels I watch most.


Things are complicated in the flatlands. No wonder you need Earl so badly. I wouldn't be able to navigate such things without a mentor either.

I just keep shoveling money to Xfinity and they provide me lots of crap of various quality to watch.

Welp. Looks like YouTubeTV and Disney made friends again. I'm to arsed (ass hurt) to love them ever again.


When people refer to some elevation gain done (on some super long hike or some stair climbing ultra marathon type thing) as 'equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest X number of times' as if that supplies any relevant form of reference that makes sense in any way.


X in the case when comparing to Mt. Everest would be some fraction as the shorter climb from base camp to the summit is over 11,000 ft and there are very few people who could ascend 11,000 ft in a climbing session.

Last week my wife an I did a hike with 1,600 ft of elevation gain so we did about 0.14 Mt. Everest climbs. Never mind the fact that we started at 8,400 ft vs ~17,500 ft, which is a very different climb.

Yeah, **** those people.


That UPS doesn't track deliveries more granularly than "out for delivery". I assume they're tracking the truck (if not, why not?) and they know which truck my package was loaded onto.

So, free that information, and let me know where the truck is, closer than "between 2:15 and 6:15 pm".

Also, Quicken is pretty poor software from a performance and reliability standpoint.

UPS actually does this.

Or at least they did unless people started swarming the tracked truck in order to get the packages early.
