He’s dead. He can’t come back

yoniel, we hardly knew ye.

wonderful. Let' get the whole staff on the DL, they can throw themselves a Tupperware party.

In a lot of places BP runs a loyalty program and discounts their list price to the same as the competition for card holders. I guess the theory is that non-regular customers are willing to pay more because maybe they are refueling at need? But that seems dumb when there is a station across the street at a dime less, which is the situation for at least a couple of the A^2 BPs. The corporate programming must tell them it works overall, but seems like a tough deal for those stations where that competitor is right across the street.

try setting you default power mode to high performance. Of course that might keep your fans running. If you're brave you can go into 'Group Policy' or the registry for a fix but it not clear those work either, and have a good back-up first. what adds to the confusion is that some reports are that after you do this, task manager still reports efficiency mode is applied even if it isn't. I've been using a Mac more and more recently and the intel boxes run Linux for everything except Solidworks. I'd really like to be completely done with MS but I can't get off that and couple other critical equipment control application that are only available in Windows. The stupid irony is that I'm only in Windows maybe 5% of the time I'm on a computer, but still spend at least 50% of my total system maintenance time keeping up those windows shells I hardly use.

I just realized because this is on FOX I won’t be able to watch it because I live “Out West“ where everybody and I mean everybody on earth simply love love love love love loves the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not. Fortunately, I have a social function tonight that precludes following this game very closely anyway so good luck to you all.

My Pet Peeve right now is Microsoft - who have included in their most recent FORCED update something they call Efficiency Mode. It's designed to help save battery life in your laptop. I'm not on a ****ing laptop. I am on a PC and I don't need it and even if I WAS on a laptop, I wouldn't want this nonsense. It's a total resource hog and it slows Google Chrome to a crawl. You can only seem to disable it - one instance at a time, which is a total pain in the ass. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS ! GIVE US AN OPTION TO KILL IT ! If I go through battery life on my laptop it's because I did not plan ahead.

That hotness has carried over into 2026. She’s going to end up like Helen Mirren…

Oh, that's got to be the one and only job held by dozens of people in that regime.

Frank was the one I rued letting go, although it's well known that Francisco Cordero was certainly the best piece we let go. But what's little noted nor long remembered from that trade—the biggest swing and miss by the Tigers on it—was that the best subsequent career anyone in the trade ended up having was Gregg Zaun, whom we shipped off to the Royals before he ever stepped on the field for us, and who had five solid years with the Jays during the mid-2000s. Lemondae out of lemons, though: had we kept Zaun through all those years, we may never have signed Pudge Rodriguez befpore the 2004 season. Here's Claude's overview of the trade: The Trade — November 2, 1999 Detroit sent to Texas: Francisco Cordero, Bill Haselman, Gabe Kapler, Justin Thompson, Frank Catalanotto, Alan Webb (minors) Texas sent to Detroit: Juan González, Danny Patterson, Gregg Zaun WAR Delivered Directly to Each Trade Partner Detroit received (WAR accrued while on DET): Player DET WAR Seasons Juan González 1.7 2000 only Danny Patterson 1.3 2000–2004 Gregg Zaun 0.0 Never played for DET Total 3.0 Texas received (WAR accrued while on TEX): Player TEX WAR Seasons Francisco Cordero 7.9 2000–2006 Frank Catalanotto 5.5 2000–2002, 2007–2008 Gabe Kapler 1.5 2000–2002 Bill Haselman 1.2 2000–2002 Justin Thompson -0.2 2005 only Total 16.0 Texas won the direct exchange by more than 5-to-1 (16.0 WAR vs. 3.0). Zaun — arguably Detroit's best return — never wore a Tigers uniform; he went straight to Kansas City. Total Post-Trade Career WAR by Player (All Teams) Detroit's haul: Player Total WAR Teams Gregg Zaun 14.0 KCR, HOU, COL, TOR, BAL, TBR, MIL Juan González 8.0 DET, CLE, TEX, KCR Danny Patterson 1.3 DET Total 23.2 Texas's haul: Player Total WAR Teams Francisco Cordero 12.3 TEX, MIL, CIN, TOR, HOU Frank Catalanotto 11.4 TEX, TOR, MIL, NYM Gabe Kapler 3.7 TEX, COL, BOS, MIL, TBR Bill Haselman 1.1 TEX, BOS Justin Thompson -0.2 TEX Total 28.4 WAR That Flowed to Third Parties From Detroit's players: Player Team WAR Gregg Zaun KCR 1.9 Gregg Zaun HOU -1.1 Gregg Zaun COL 0.1 Gregg Zaun TOR 8.1 Gregg Zaun BAL 2.4 Gregg Zaun TBR 1.2 Gregg Zaun MIL 1.3 Juan González CLE 4.3 Juan González TEX 2.4 Juan González KCR -0.5 From Texas's players: Player Team WAR Frank Catalanotto TOR 6.1 Frank Catalanotto MIL 0.1 Frank Catalanotto NYM -0.3 Francisco Cordero MIL 2.8 Francisco Cordero CIN 2.4 Francisco Cordero TOR -0.5 Francisco Cordero HOU -0.4 Gabe Kapler COL -0.5 Gabe Kapler BOS 0.7 Gabe Kapler MIL 1.7 Gabe Kapler TBR 0.3 Bill Haselman BOS -0.1 The single biggest beneficiary of this entire trade was Toronto, which collected 8.1 WAR from Zaun (2004–2008) and 6.1 WAR from Catalanotto (2003–2006) — 14.2 WAR total, more than either trade partner received directly. Cleveland's haul of González (4.3 WAR in 2001 alone) was more than Detroit ever got from him.

I watched the 1st in total. When the second started my wife got home and we had to give my son his testosterone shot which can be an ordeal. It took the whole second quarter to get thru that when I walked out and saw the score going into halftime. “That’s it” I thought. Sat down kind of exhausted from the shot, opened a beer, and resumed texting with an old friend who lives in Denver that was watching and reached out before the game. I had intentions of putting the Tigers on but since this was on prime the remote to do tha was just enough out of reach that I didn’t want to move. Then as the lead for Orlando dwindled I stayed interested My friend said she was bailing but she apparently didn’t as she frantically texted me to put it back on. it wasn’t even just the win… it was a freaking blowout. I’m trying to position this historically. I guess that depends on tomorrow too. so chalk one up for Prime. If it were on something else I may have cut over earlier.

The innate hotness that epitomized Marisa Tomei c. 1992 can hardly be denied, but it would be hard for the New York Times to come up with a more unflattering picture of her from this movie. I mean, yikes.

You're 70% right.

As is BP. They are always the most expensive.

Awful Coaching on YouTube featured this game in a video titled "The ORLANDO MAGIC coaching staff were born losers who will never win anything vs PISTONS | GAME 6" which I'm not gonna link directly, because the language is hilariously nsfw, but do check it out if you want a laugh.

I was more annoyed at losing Kapler and Catalonotto, but yeah we got fleeced hard

Exactly, JB should be fired for this decision alone not to mention not playing Holland one minute when nobody else on the bench isn't doing anything of note. Absolute trash coaching this series even if they win it.

Traffic won’t be an issue even if the games were at the same time. 18K for the Pistons and maybe that for a Tiger game on a cold Sunday night in May. That’s less than a lions game or well attended Tiger game.
