kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 23hIt’s even worse than this though. They just had to kick a very makeable field goal to win it. There was literally no reason to even be running this play. 150
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Gotcha. What I was originally getting at is that I don’t understand when head coaches are simultaneously play callers. That seems like a bad idea to me, in that the hc should have too much to do to also call plays at the same time. But this is all interesting. Thanks for the follow up! 110
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh! Yes this makes sense to me and is what I think. So you’re saying that list (Harbaugh, et al) weren’t ever play callers? I guess I didn’t know that terminology (CEO style) or background of those guys. So yah I can see why that style of coach is going by the wayside 110
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026As someone for whom this is out of my wheelhouse, I don’t understand why NFL head coaches would also be the play callers (offensive or defensive). Shouldn’t they be taking a more holistic view? Why hasn’t that proven out to be useful? 110
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Came here hoping to see someone do this 140
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think @megrowler.fangraphs.com is onto something here with bibertys teeth. Like that’s a lotta teeth for the size of that thing. You gonna crunch though all of those? Nah 001
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Same. But I still really don’t think I have ever heard it before. Had to listen the whole way through to see if I was missing something. 010
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026See so I literally just listened to it because I thought this would be the case, but nope. Never heard it in my life. 040
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 22/09/2026True true. But as the great Jonathan Bonjiovi once said “we gotta hold on to what we got” 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Scherzer is still technically active no? 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There’s a fundamental misunderstanding here. It’s a binary “is the president helping to fix inflation, yes or no.” There’s no reason to believe that percentage should be 1/1 correlated with the absolute rate of inflation. Perception matters. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I don’t know how a good study on this would be done, but I’d love to see data on this question. Both hypotheses make sense to me so I’m curious which is the more general feeling! 010
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Wait, Counting Crows is good. Would I like Noah Kahan (I am old) 020
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Counterpoint: It’s an amazing theme song 090
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The actual way to “fix” this “problem” would be to require that all new IC cars are hybrids because hybrids still do this but without the annoying second delay that IC only cars have. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s shocking that we’ve seen this coming for well over a year and universities have just sat on their hands. Functional organizations would have had a lawsuit drafted and ready to file months ago. 010
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I guess a closely related situation could be bottom of ninth or extras, tie game, runner on third with one out and you don’t want to walk to set up the double play 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I’ve been trying to think of a scenario in which a hitter would do this, got any ideas? 100
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Hmm yah that’s what confused me too. It also does explain his snarky telling the ump he was going from the wind up for the next batter (even though then the bases were empty) 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I assume “Teardrop” since that’s the only song most people know by them 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Even in defense we didn’t have any coffee, if we took interviewees out to lunch there was no budget to pay their bill, etc. The defense money all goes to the contractors. 0121
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Again. Jackie breaking the color barrier predated much of what we all think of as the civil rights movement. It is an honor that Rachel is still with us but that shows how Jackie and his legacy isn’t ancient history. We continue to have work to do. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Lemme help you with some editing. Instead of “long contended without evidence” it would be much clearer to say “lied for years” 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The correct take. The undisputed ranking of these options is: 1.) Permanent standard time * huge gap * 2.) Permanent DST * getting his by a bus* 3.) Continuing this switching nonsense 140
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Would love if these idiots read a book ever too. See the 1912 Progressive party platform that Roosevelt ran under and find how many issues match modern Republican Party thinkingpresidency.ucsb.eduProgressive Party Platform of 1912 | The American Presidency Project 010
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Hold up. He “does communion at home?” I missed that. Transubstantiation is like “what makes Catholics different from Protestants 101” 071
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 28/06/2026This is the issue with all replay in all sports. It’s the “look for a flag” before celebrating a touchdown and it does makes sports worse. (I get that in the age of high def, slow motion replay it’s hard not to have reviews, but there is an undeniable cost) 050
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Anyway republicans, here is the government waste you’re always rambling on about! 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Glad to see government resources being wasted on investigating this, instead of just saying “because they didn’t follow a procedure known to work from the 1800s” 100
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I’m also not one to lurch into conspiracy theories, but it’s even weirder that they keep bringing up ear scarring right? Like I have scars from various childhood shenanigans and my doctor doesn’t even ask about them and would certainly not note them in a medical report. It’s weird to do that! 180
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 29/05/2026It also seems like an extremely simple to understand position to take! One might even say it could fit well into a party platform “The Democratic Party believes it is the job of government to protect the rights of our trans community from malign influences” 030
Reposted by @kjscientist.bsky.socialJake Wright @bcnjake.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t. 4965552357
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 29/05/2026There’s also some delicious irony in the fact that these titans of American industry who preach the gospel of free market capitalism (ie unfettered competition) want to hamper competitiveness in the name of “balance.” It’s all nonsense! I’ve now convinced myself no one should use that term at all. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I like this analogy. If you played the same game 100 times, I think the “lack” of competitive balance would show. So the illusion of balance is due to the small n. Take this back to baseball, if all owners really want is competitive balance, make the season one week! (Ergo the term is bad and a lie) 100
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Even if it’s a function of the “structure of the game” rather than the revenue model or some other factor, isn’t this still competitive balance? Otherwise what does the term even mean? 100
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 27/05/2026This also relates to the current discourse on God’s “gender.” If your faith requires you to loudly proclaim that “God is a man!” Then I dunno, I just will never recognize your faith. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Can’t believe we’re still doing this shit 10 years into the Trump era. I’m so tired. 010
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I think this is the difference between faith I can recognize and faith that is foreign to me. I understand faith with humanity, and humility, and doubt and wrestling with convictions. 100
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Hold up. The photographic evidence behind you appears to show a flat top. I hope for your integrity’s sake either I’m mistaken or there is an actual grill out of frame. 000
kjscientist.bsky.social @kjscientist.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I will always also like Stewart. But I think some of this vibe difference is also due to Colbert’s earnest Catholicism, and wrestling with how to fit that theology into the current state of *everything* 040
