Worse for baseball: underspending. Eternally cheap, bad teams can turn whole swathes of potential fans and players off the game.
Overspending is definitely frustrating to watch from the fan base of a team that could, but won't, spend, but putting more money into the sport isn't worse for it than fielding farcical loss machines.
I really appreciate how FromSoft does achievements--theirs are the only games I ever really go for the 100%, since that usually entails simply playing and mastering all the content that they have prepared. Achievements like "beat the whole game under x arbitrary condition" or "get this super specific scenario to happen" just aren't that interesting to me, but "beat every boss, collect every important item, visit every area" I find very satisfying.
I think it is fair to say that having skin in the game suggests that they are making these ethical judgments in good faith; that is, that they genuinely believe that they are making the ethically correct choice in propagating their brutal war. I do not, however, think that level of personal liability inclines them any more strongly towards making genuinely ethical decisions, only ones that they genuinely believe to be ethical.
I'm actually pretty happy with this trade. Three pitching prospects isn't the flashy-splashy sort of headline we're thirsty for, but it suggests that Breslow is looking to build long-term pitching depth rather than spend together a fleeting juggernaut. Plus, not signing a big name in return for Dugie frees up $9mil that can theoretically be put towards the pipe dream player of your choice.
I read that one, he literally described himself as mediocre programmer and is excited about gpt as a way for mediocre programmers to be competitive again. I'm sure he's in for a really fun time when he has to find a bug in 12k lines of AI spaghetti he bolted together.

Finally got around to starting Sekiro a month ago and 100+ hours and five runs later I'm wondering why I waited so long
"Never use a knife as anything but a knife or you'll end up disappointed and with a broken knife."
Not sure where I heard that first, but it's stuck with me.
doesn't understand that this is a useful first step in debugging
reacts with anger when devs don't magically have an instant fix to a vague bug
Yep, that's a manager
I have a friend who was a classic Catholic libertarian in college--he held some views on trans rights, abortion, and economic justice that I find deeply disagreeable. It made conversations a little tricky because there were a whole set of topics I couldn't bring up unless I wanted to wade into a debate immediately; sometimes I did, but often I just wanted to hang out and chill and that was hampered.
It took him exactly one year of being out of college and working a real job to realize that his economic views were fucked, and the whole rest of it unraveled from there. He's now a staunch leftist, and it's way, way easier to hang out with him.
That's not, however, to say it's not worth having friends you disagree with. We remained friends because we were able to disagree productively, and I feel I understand my own political views far better for all those long nights discussing them. Still, it was a friendship that took unusual effort to maintain.
Haven't seen this one on Mlem
Per Wolfram Alpha, sulfur is 4.62 times heavier; the earth is 0.002% lithium, so it would experience a net gain of 3.62 * mass of earth * 0.00002, or 4.3e20kg. That's 7.24e-5 times heavier, so not much in the grand scheme of things.
Note that I'm neither a chemist, a physicist, or an astronomer, so I make no guarantee that I did this right.
Edit: misplaced decimal
