My brother was drafted ahead of 3 future HOF “shortstops.” (The position they played when they were drafted.)

Jim Thome, Trevor Hoffman and Jeff Kent.

Other “shortstops” taken in that draft? Jorge Posada and Jason Giambi.

In all seriousness, unless something is going to explode, someone is going to escape or something needs to be extracted, it doesn’t make sense to slap a timer on any activity.

The Fire and Ice mission doesn’t lend itself to timers. It’s silly to have one.

“Fixed an issue where players could disable the activity timer.”

Did the thought “Maybe we just shouldn’t have the timer because players go out of their way to get rid of it” ever cross anyone’s mind at Bungie?

Maybe if the Marlins sign him, Jeter will come back and he can set the franchise back another 5-10 years.

I do a binge watch of Studio 60 at least once a year. Such a solid show. Great cast.

I’m sure there is at least the intention to form an idea for a concept of a notion of a hypothetical plan to come up with a hunch to fix something. May or may not be healthcare related in the end.

There are some streamers out there I would say are part of the problem. The ones who cry out for nerfs of weapons in PvE because it makes things “too easy.” See the Divinity and Izanagi nerfs.

But you definitely aren’t one of them. Kinda hilarious that anyone would say that. 🤣🤣

I would say Renegades was the easiest of all the legendary campaigns they’ve . But not necessarily “easy.” There’s some tough fights in there. I’ve watched some good players struggle during some of the encounters.

“Dumb, formulaic questions”

First 2 questions were about the play that won the game and his injury.

Those are called “pertinent questions.”

They kinda had to. The events of the book take place over like 20 years. So they invented parts like Rollo Tomasi, Sid’s character and the entire Victory Motel subplot to make it work as a 2 hour film.

And dropped details like Ed marrying the Mexican rape victim. Or Ed’s dad knowing Pierce.

One of the greatest adaptations ever. It’s like they took everything from the book that makes sense for a movie and chucked everything else. Then filled in the gaps.

Almost as original as it is adapted.

Legal professional here.

AI is as good with law as it is with art.

Sad seeing the growing number of people thinking AI will do the legal work for them. Had one this year have to pay us $60k in fees when they could have settled their case for $10k. But AI told them they’d win.

They didn’t.

“Love U More” by Sunscreem. Great 90s dance track.

Sounds like a sweet love song.

Turns out it’s about a daughter speaking to her abusive father. 😳

Any list without “The Twin Peaks 12 Days of Christmas” is invalid. 😉

Or even if it doesn’t start friendly. Just last week after we attacked a sloop alliance, killed them, sank their boats and took all their Reaper’s fort loot. We wound up chatting with them for the next few hours. Gave some loot back. And hung out most every night since. 😊

Or with subclass? That could be cool too.
