I went back to cable and got an old cablecard and networked tuner. No rental fees for a box, and I can stream it wherever without checking in or dealing with location restrictions, and my DVR is still mine even if I leave and subscribe to something else.

But that would still be easier to convince someone to sign up for Signal or whatever other app if it came in a unified inbox. I just started using Beeper a couple of months ago, because while the security concerns are valid, it is really damn convenient.

my tastes happening to align with game availability on the platform.

I wished more people phrased it this way, or acknowledged that some peoples' tastes in games aren't going to change to fit a new platform.

A reseed to get Minnesota or Toronto. It sucks that the 1 seed gets locked into playing the best teams possible.

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. I don't know the extent to which this bot is necessary given that it's not very discerning.

This community is currently hosting lots of country, and region specific news. Not everyone is in the UK and impacted by their regulations. Not everyone is in Europe where they're testing the Facebook and Instagram ad-free subscription. Hell, not everyone is on those platforms so those stories aren't relevant to them. It would leave the community pretty empty at this point if we started moderating content according to its global relevance, especially when people always have the option to just scroll by.

There's also still a sizable chunk of the audience who doesn't even engage with Ultimate Team, and just wants to play all of the other game modes.

It's not what really you're looking for, but there are some really good open world map mods for Assetto Corsa that probably make it the closest feeling thing right now. They're based on real places, so while it doesn't give the touristy sense, it does a good job of capturing the vibe of just cruising around some beautiful scenery.

Let's clinch!

I mean, zoning is kind of the smallest hurdle for a rural town. Developing public transit and construction to make streets bike friendly are significantly larger investments. You've still then got the issue that your small town serves as the hub for miles of mountain and farmland and you can never fully end the car dependency. And for colonial era towns, construction is often not an option because of the likelihood that something has historical significance.

Often times, the only option for smaller communities that are car dependent is just a multi-level garage that has a smaller footprint. But many don't have the demand for downtown commercial real estate that would help it make financial sense.

I missed out on seeing him, but he became one of those guys I loved just from second-hand stories, which arguably says even more about him.

 

"Holliday tore up Low-A Delmarva to start the season and hit even better once he first arrived in High-A Aberdeen, including a .384/.509/.628 line in May. Some regression to the mean was inevitable, and after getting on base three times in Sunday’s matinee game at Wilmington, he’s hitting .222/.385/.319 in June. Same player, two arbitrary samples, determined by attempts to track the phases of the moon. Holliday is still getting on base, still making contact at almost exactly the same rate in June as in May, running into some bad luck and making somewhat softer contact."
