    Figure skating 2024 and beyond.

    His free skate was spectacular. But what's most impressive is he saved all three combos for the second half to maximize the point value, but also made his last element event MORE difficult. 4 lutz - 1 euler - 3 Axel? Are you kidding me? And yes, presentation is his weak spot, but he's 19 and got...

    Motherfucker. I am not happy. But he still had a fine, fine start.

    White Sox fire Ken Williams and Rick Hahn

    HoK designed both New Comiskey *and* Camden Yards. Lucchino and Janet Marie Smith wielded considerable influence in the Camden Yards design.

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    I'm jealous of BF that he has the TV and I don't!

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    Just bought the 55" Samsung s95b for BF via my Beneplace employee benefit. MSRP $2100, got it for $1015+tax. It's beyond gorgeous and I'm insanely jealous.

    Phone Locked during upgrade

    What if you changed the passcode on the old device to 4 numbers? Is it too late to back out and do that?

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    I'd be interested in hearing more after a week or so. BF is in the market for a 55-65 as well. He'll be 100% streaming, and we're looking at options. Built-in Chromecast/GoogleTV a plus, and he's got the latest dongles for AmazonFireTV and Chromecast already.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Between that and A-Rod constantly shadowboxing the "analysts" and "front office numbers guys," I almost pine for Tim McCarver and Joe Buck. Almost.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Gotta say I'm a big fan of the cream Phillies unis. Classy and traditional.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    This stadium is almost as loud as Fenway is when it's rocking. They're going nuts here.

    Red Sox hire analytics company to optimize game start times in 2023

    ...but ultimately I don't think it's a good idea for a team to constantly mess with start times, because people are used to routine. As viewers, we know we should turn on the TV at 7pm to begin to watch home games, unless we want to catch the pregame show. But ballplayers are creatures of habit...

    Red Sox hire analytics company to optimize game start times in 2023

    The short answer is "yes," but there may be other requirements, such as afternoon games before west coast travel days, etc. I do know the White Sox several years ago started their games at 7:11PM CDT because of a partnership with, yep, you guessed it, 7-11.

    4G Android phone megathread

    I gotta say I'm thrilled right now with Google Fi and the Samsung S21 Ultra. Battery life is RIDONKULOUS. I unplugged at about 8pm on Wednesday, and I'm at a 50% charge, 2d 3.5h later. I'm not on Android 12 yet, but I'm very happy with the build quality and piggybacking on the T-Mobile network...

    4G Android phone megathread

    I ditched Big Red for Fi and got the Samsung S21 Ultra at a $400 discount. I'm pissed I missed the early Black Friday deal to get it for $700 off, but I'm still happy. The phone's snappy, responsive, and has great coverage. I should have ported to Fi long ago, probably, but sticking with Verizon...
