Which crayon color tastes the best?

Thank you to whoever on the @X support staff understands satire and restored this account. Now I can go back to tweeting horrible takes and making incredibly bad financial investment decisions from the comfort of my permanent vacation

@Vanillawitha9 @stltoday Do you eat paint chips for breakfast?

@stltoday It's as if elections have consequences🤦 who knew🤷

Students at Riverview Gardens High School will not return to campus until Monday as school district officials and police continue to investigate an outbreak of fights. buff.ly/3PhWHmr

@JamesSurowiecki @tangotiger @ToddyMalone @onlyTrueJason Lots of electronic calculators do for exactly this reason. But the convention is also generally to write 25-5^2 instead of -5^2+25 exactly to prevent this confusion

@tangotiger @ToddyMalone @onlyTrueJason Seems like we should have a symbol other than a minus sign to signal a negative number.

-5^2 + 25 = ...

@tangotiger @msexcel This is exactly why some electronic calculators have separate functions to indicate a negative number vs subtraction.

@tangotiger @msexcel I think you just proved this is just a bad question because syntax is different in different electronic calculator applications. The real question is are you trying to evaluate: the negative of five squared plus twenty-five, or negative five squared plus twenty-five. 1/2

This equation correctly evaluates to -25. Take out the "0" part of the equation, and @msexcel evaluates this INCORRECTLY as +25.

@DSzymborski @KenGrantNFL Interesting, wasn't that bad for me but then again I had it on a windows storage spaces drive which consists of 4 drives. Initial seek is bad but the throughput is pretty solid. At least it was until the most recent update stopped me from loading any save or starting a new game

@KenGrantNFL It was a nightmare! I'm usually pretty patient about these things, but I was getting a 15 second lag opening INVENTORY screen.

When Starfield suggests you use an SSD, you should take it very seriously. I've never personally seen a game before with such a difference between HDD and SSD performance.

You can only listen to one the rest of your life.

@nut_history Entropy

90’s Braves vs 2023 Braves. Who you picking in a 7 game series? Please quote

@pospisal @nut_history Pujols with 1.5x Miggy's war more of every counting stat including stolen bases. But that's basically the same

@nut_history Albert Pujols was Ben Zobrist before being Ben Zobrist was cool. Albert Pujols played years, YEARS with a torn UCL. Pujols ended careers regularly. But really they’re pretty much a push. It’s also weird how similar their careers are/were

Would you rather have Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera for a full career?

@11Olv77 @nut_history Pujols with 1.5x Miggy's war more of every counting stat including stolen bases.

@nut_history Miggy. Not close. Almost an insult

@notimpresed @nut_history Pujols with 1.5x Miggy's war more of every counting stat including stolen bases.

@nut_history Miggy.... history says Miggy.

@nut_history Pujols and it's not close

@17776ers @tangotiger So you read it at five squared negative plus twenty-five? And not negative five, squared plus 25?

@tangotiger if it were (-5)^2+25, it’d be 50, but -5^2 means -(5^2), so 0

@iJordanMoore @ThomasR84289647 Only by the skin of their teeth, due to a very specific choice of time period, & won't be true next year.

@ThomasR84289647 yeah the same one that has the most world series titles in the last two decades. Yeah that one.

The Red Sox are officially eliminated from AL East contention. Boston hasn’t won the division in five years (2018). Unacceptable for this franchise.

@Windows #WindowsUpdate

When the latest @Windows "quality" update bricks your install and you have to roll it back.

@Bknuckle7 @waltons_wurner @QuinnSTLCards Never said you can't appreciate the dude. I just never understand the hype and always thought he was a bit overrated. But that perception is probably skewed by his poor defense his last couple years in STL which is when I remember watching him as a kid in the late 90s.

#5 on the Cardinals. 2028 is a formality, just do it now imo

@tonytls4454 @Ben_Fred Good thing they have at least 40 mil a year to spend

@RealMikeMatheny @Ben_Fred U wont get a no.1 starter for carlson! Gorman u would!!!!! Our weakness is top line pitching!!!! U must give to get!!!!

Are you good with Tommy Edman as #STLCards starting CF in 2024?
