tell me about it. I had a 2 hour working session via Skype with a group of production planners coaching them through material planning improvements using statistical analysis tools. Every so often they’d ask a question and catch me checking my phone.

31 innings over 3 seasons is nothing, but.... 3 relief appearances 8.1 innings in 2019. 7.56 ERA, 5.01 XFIP. 20% walk rate did him in to 26% k rate. Over his career as a reliever he’ just kinda bad. 31 innings 4.6 ERA 4.6 XFIP. 19.4% k rate 13.2% bb rate.

A’s and Rays tonight. Who are you rooting for? I kinda lean Tampa, but I would be happy with either.

so what, I’m a sleeper agent? Playing the long game for 6 years of some of the worst baseball in history? Even I don’t have the fortitude for that one

2019/20 Off-season Manager Openings
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Vanimal46's topic in Other Baseball
agreed, I think Shelton would be foolish not to take any MLB manager job (were one offered) because there are many years where none are open, and many qualified candidates go their whole career without reaching that pinnacle. I just thought it was funny that the Pirates fans complain like they’re the only fan base of a team with stingy ownership. -

Richie the Rally Goat replied to Vanimal46's topic in Other Baseball
Hurdle is out at Pittsburgh, Morosi thinks Twins derek Shelton is a good fit. Pirates fans of course don't like ownership and wonder why Shelton would want to go to a team that doesn't spend any money. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/1178687472135544833 -

Thorium Molten Salt Reactors
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Richie the Rally Goat's topic in The Sports Bar
The technical ones were over my head. I’m gonna give them another shot, but need to rest my noggin. The other 3 were very accessible and moderate. Great to read something that didn’t feel like propaganda Thanks Craig! -
Thorium Molten Salt Reactors
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Richie the Rally Goat's topic in The Sports Bar
dirt isn’t bad for you. If you were to launch dirt in a rocket and it blew up, the rocket parts and fuel would be the most harmful part. you probably consume microscopic amounts of thorium on a regular basis. if you were to mine it or distill it from seawater into concentration to be used in a reactor, yes, it would be harmful, not fissile. If you “breed” Thorium with Uranium 235 or a denatured bomb it becomes fissile (U-233 I think) and in the right reactor self sustaining (paraphrased from the Myths article) -
Thorium Molten Salt Reactors
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Richie the Rally Goat's topic in The Sports Bar
yeah, I wasn’t clear there. The idea with Thorium as a fuel for Molten Salt Reactors is Thorium is not fissile on its own. It needs a fissile material to feed it. It can hypothetically be made fissile from waste. The theoretical advantage to Molten Salt Reactors in terms of safety, is there is no ceramic to crack, so it can be used longer to deplete more of the radioactivity. The idea is to recycle the material that is no longer usable in traditional reactors rather than store it. You’d eventually have to do something with the waste. I guess launching it into the sun would ensure that we aren’t sending radioactive litter into space. Better to be burnt up than potentially go into orbit or accidentally send it to another planet. Who else is picturing Wall-E reimagined as sending our litter into space (instead of humans) and the junk lands on a planet which launches interplanetary war?
