Agreed. The past two episodes have really pushed the narrative forward without diminishing depth or world-building. I still don't see how they get more than one or two seasons out of this, but I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts.

COMING SOON: 2017 Offseason Handbook
PseudoSABR replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Proud of you guys for taking the risk of naming your price. I know there's been periods in my life where even the low cost would have kept me from purchasing. Hopefully students and others take advantage, and those of who can afford to can help make up the difference. -
I got it. (Can't help but buy the Civ games.) I haven't logged in that many hours, yet. I don't really like the art style, but the gameplay is good. The three big changes in my mind are: (1) specialized districts which take up on of the hexes near the city (like industrial, campus, holy site, or even wonders) (2) the tech tree is split up between technologies and social/political/cultural paths, and (3) happiness has been removed and replaced with "Amenities,"--cities no longer can become unhappy (significantly affecting all aspects of cities) rather Amenities seems to cap a cities growth. I haven't really gotten to far into combat or diplomacy yet...

LEN3: Twins Looking to Hire Levine as GM
PseudoSABR replied to Brandon Warne's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Who cares? Speculating is far different from journalistic sourcing. -
LEN3: Twins Looking to Hire Levine as GM
PseudoSABR replied to Brandon Warne's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
More outside voices counters the country club culture. This doesn't seem like a nepotistic hire in the least, which has been one of the Twins' chief flaws. I look forward to learning about the guy, but let's give a few days before we declare victory or defeat. -
I was wondering that too. There should actually be a rule that spares of having to watch Santana drink a Gatorade pack. It would be nice if Santana could just sub out for a couple plays/minutes until he recovers without losing his spot, but of course teams would take advantage of that. Alternatively you could have the opposing team pick the bench player, but that seems logistically impossible. And I think you're right about the actual rule being subjectively permissive. In a World Series, there's no chance that an umpire would invoke it, with such discretion.

Good show, I watched it when it came out on netflix and proceeded to forget about it quickly. Solid cast, incredible atmosphere, pretty good story telling. Perhaps it just had too few episodes for it really to adhere to me...

How times have changed. A very classy letter from George H. Bush to Bill Clinton.

Trump was better. He had obviously prepared and on the split screen it was fascinating to observe how he resisted his normal facial expressions. To his credit he did a hell of a job at composure. That said, Hillary's potshots got to him. He eventually got weirdly obtuse and refused to legitimize the election. This guy, "I'll keep you in suspense, okay." Hillary played defense, and obscured her accusations rather than addressed them head on, but Trump jumped the shark, and piddled nonsense far too often. tldr, trumps best debate

I don't often recommend Keith Olbermann (pleased-with-himself-smugness), but I think he frames Trump pretty effectively in his most recent GQ episode-thingy.

Schilling will run for Warren's Senate seat.

Hey Congrats. You should give us a link for the curious.

I like Westworld, but it's having trouble getting real traction with me. It feels a bit too much like Lost, in that the show is excellent at framing a deep and paramount mystery, but the reveal never lives up to the showmanship.

It may be clearly obvious given the very limited slice of the coach/manger-player interaction you've seen. The great majority of coaching happens out of sight of the cameras. If they televised batting practice and fielding drills and within the clubhouse and training rooms you may have a point. I certainly don't make much of my own anecdotal observations of coaching-interaction over the course of season, although I too watch the game through MLB.tv. I agree that Molitor is aloof during game-time, but I can't extend that observation to color how he interacts with players during non-game, coaching situations.

I tend to think gender and race (and even religion) tend to be motivating factors rather than deciding factors. People don't base their decision to pick one candidate over the other based on gender or race (as the Republicans have put forward many candidates that tried to exploit this supposed weakness in the liberal base); rather gender and race effect turn out, people are motivated to get to the polls and vote for someone like themselves, which is completely sensible. What I find problematic is the assumption that gender and race don't actually have baring on how people make their way through life, and would necessarily be core to their experience and thus their qualification to serve a diverse group of people. There's something very sensible in wanting a leader to have some experience with having to struggle over a stigma which they did not choose. White men, especially middle-to-upper class white men, are out of touch with this experience; I suppose that's unfair, but it is a reality.

Game(s) Thread: 2016 MLB Postseason
PseudoSABR replied to Pardon My Dinger's topic in Other Baseball
Dodgers used Jansen for 2 1/3 innings before he walked two, and now they have Kershaw out there with a one run lead and one out. -
This notion that jobs replaced by technology and organizational efficiency somehow lead to the same number of jobs else where in the market is a myth. Especially, in rural America. (We can't all go work at the local robot factory that built the robot that took our job).

Looks like some people are trying to revive the league (combined with another one). I guess they still need more people' those of you in the league should have gotten an email. I decided to give it a go, even though it's auction and I'm unfamiliar with the format.

I just hope he doesn't succeed in emboldening his supporters to violence after the election. The rigged election and put her in jail themes worry me.

It's not simply that jobs are going overseas, the unfettered free market itself is prone to eliminate them in the name of efficiency/profit/lower-prices.

My family were also farmers, but from Bird Island; and I think you're right about these dying little towns that deepen the divide no matter the result of the election. There's an odd sense of community that's born out of their shared desperation and bitterness.

Obama used his political capital on health care, withdrawal from Iraq, student loans, bailout, etc. I think Obama got quite a bit "done" but the outcome currently is politically mixed, though I believe in the long run will be seen as overwhelmingly positive.
