    No sound in remote access sessions

    So we've been using ScreenConnect for our remote access sessions for my company since we launched (thanks for the rec, @AlNipper49!) and it's been awesome. However, last night I was unable to hear what's happening on a remote machine. I normally use Firefox, but it didn't work there or Chrome...

    All-Star Rosters 2023

    A tradition unlike any other... Early projections. Once the voting comes in, then the top vote-getters become locked into the starting positions.

    2022 All-Star Game Rosters

    My favorite thing every year is (poorly) predicting the ASG rosters. Here's my first guess: Once the first round of votes are announced, I lock the leaders in as the starters and make adjustments based on that. There's been a change in voting this year -- the leaders get voted in, and then...

    Captain Ahab: The Story of Dave Stieb

    Dorktown is back with another exhaustive documentary, this time about Blue Jays legend, Dave Stieb. As always, Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein are just perfect. If you're unfamiliar with Bois and his style of work, you're in for a treat. Four parts, about four hours in total. Part 1: View...

    Reddit blocked

    Very very weird issue. So if I visit Reddit.com on my home PC, in Firefox, all it says, in Courier New is "Blocked". But I can access it in Chrome and on my phone. I've turned off every ad blocker I have, I've turned off my anti-virus as well. I've even started Firefox is "Troubleshooting...

    Home, home on the Range (looking for a Range).

    So, we bought a house. Hooray! But we need a new range because the one in there is only half-functional. Boooo! It's got to be a 36" range -- Consumer Reports really doesn't have any sparkling ratings for any 36" gas ranges (or any 36" ranges in general, honestly). The highest rated is...

    2021 All-Star Game Rosters

    WHOOOOOO!!!! WE BACK!!!! Ahem. As I like to do every year (goddamn Covid), it's time to predict the All-Star Game rosters. Now you might be saying, "But Laddie, the ballot isn't even out yet!", and to that I say, "Kick rocks, nerd. We're roster building." A few notes: - Until the actual...

    How many regular season games do the Patriots play this season?

    I'm extremely bearish on this, personally.

    America's greatest documentarian, Jon Bois of SB Nation, has released the first three parts of his newest masterpiece, a history of the Seattle Mariners. It is spectacular and wonderful, and Jon Bois is a god damn treasure. Part 1: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pkVu6Kw00M Part 2...

    Jonah Keri arrested, charged with assault on his wife

    Well this is disappointing to read. Damn, this is terrible. Edit: what he allegedly did is, not that its a popular baseball writer involved.

    Brian Bannister, Red Sox Pitching Guru

    (Sorry if I missed a thread on this already.) SI has an excerpt from Ben Lindburgh and Travis Sawchik's new book "THE MVP MACHINE", and damn, it's a really cool read about Bannister. https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/06/07/boston-red-sox-brian-bannister-mvp-machine Fascinating piece, and makes me...

    2019 All-Star Game Rosters

    Once again, I'm back for my favorite stupid exercise of the MLB regular season -- my attempt to figure out who makes the All-Star Game! Rules are all follows -- until we get voting results, I just put the best choices in the starter slots. Once we get voting leaders, they get slotted in and the...

    Four strikeouts in an inning

    This might be a stupid question, but.... According to MLB.com, there have been 90 cases of a pitcher striking out four batters in an inning.... yet 53 of these have come since the year 2000, and 37 since the start of the 2010 season. Is there a reason why 41.1% of four-strikeout innings have...

    2019 Gronk Watch: Pulling Strings from a Shell

    FWIW: I have it under decent authority that Rob Gronkowski will "100% return next year". Edit: I should also mention this source is the same guy who told me after the Gronk injury in Denver back in 15 that he was fine and wouldn't be out long.... he missed one game.

    2018 All-Star Game Rosters

    This is an exercise I like to do every year. The first ballot updates should be out Wednesday/Thursday, so the starters on my list are the ones I think most deserve to be there, not who will end up getting voted in. After the first update, I'll have the vote leaders in there. Note: I have...
