  1. Ryan Braun is making an appearance in right field for the first time this season after a double switch in the ninth.
  2. Splitting the two schools of thought, a stop sign might function as a teaching tool. After using it a while, lift it and see if it's helped Jonathan's decision-making become better. If he still need guidance at that point, put the stop sign back on.

  4. That'd be fun. Lamb's been charged with nine earned runs in the two innings he pitched.
  5. I've been running happily on 8GB of RAM for several years, so I'm not really worried about my needs changing like they did in years past. But I'll get 16GB next time just in case. I've decided that more than 256GB of internal storage is too hard to manage. Your backups get huge, and it's a lot to restore should you decide to reformat. My 240GB SSD is usually about half full. I use external drives for iTunes and for stuff I have infrequent need to access. I back them up with a sync app. (Always preview syncs to make sure they're doing what you expect.) My gut says that the MacBook might be the toughest to upgrade. I've attached a photo of its motherboard inside its bottom case.
  6. Here's where I lose track. Which generation is fourth generation? With Mac notebooks, you don't have to worry about RAM compatibility as all RAM is hardwired into the motherboard. For that reason, you need to decide how much RAM you want up front. I'd avoid 4GB and go with either 8GB or 16GB. Actually, the Airs are the only models that offer a choice (4GB or 8GB). The MacBook has 8GB, and the MacBook Pros have 16GB. I'm not sure which models currently have upgradeable storage, but that's also a good decision to make up front. I think 256GB is the sweet spot. The Airs start out at 128; I wouldn't consider that to be enough. jerichoholicninja, I'd start with screen size and work from there. As far as the prettiest, that would be the MacBook. It comes in Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. The Airs and Pros only come in plain old aluminium.
  7. Mothers should be considered good sources, but it'd be nice to hear something from the team.

  9. The frontage roads on either side of Milton Avenue in Janesville are a major bummer. It's hard to even describe them except to say that at intersections, you pull out and take your chances. If drivers do something that you don't expect, it's really not their fault. It's necessary to watch for traffic from about eight different directions. I think people should always appreciate it when someone bothers to send a card. The aspect that I dislike is choosing them. They're terrible, and I'd feel embarrassed signing my name to most of them. I generally don't send cards for anything other than birthdays or deaths. And the birthday list is pretty limited. For many, an e-mail will suffice. But e-mail is kind of lazy for close family. It's better to go with a card or phone call. In the case of nonagenarian relatives who haven't connected to the Internet, snail mail is the only "written" option. My nonagenarian aunts get both a card and a call. For deaths, e-mail falls short for expressing sympathy, although it's great for making arrangements known. When my parents died, we needed to make it clear that people were welcome to show up for meals if they were unable to attend the services. You certainly can't advertise "free food" in obituaries. I send cards when I'm unable to attend a funeral. When I attend, the cards the funeral home provides work for me. Actually, the proper and better alternative to cards is a letter, preferably handwritten. You don't see much of that anymore. I can't say I send letters often. I'll include a brief typed letter when I have something else to send.
  10. Here's what Apple currently uses: [list-sp] MacBook: Intel Core m3, m5, or m7 (6Y30, 6Y54, 6Y75) ("Skylake"), 2 cores MacBook Air: Intel Core i5 or Core i7 (5250U, 5650U) ("Broadwell"), 2 cores MacBook Pro 13": Intel Core i5 or Core i7 (5257U, 5287U, 5557U) ("Broadwell"), 2 cores Macbook Pro 15": Intel Core i7 (4770HQ, 4870HQ, 4980HQ) ("Haswell"), 4 cores[/list-sp] When i look at Apple's website, it's clear about clock speed; Core M, i5, or i7; and L3 Cache (something that consumers frequently overlook). But it's not clear about processor family (Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake). The Core M processors used in the MacBook are significantly slower. The reason those processors are slower is that they don't require any fans. But I agree with Logan that they'd be fine for most people. What might not be fine for many people is the fact that the MacBook only has one port (USB-C). At this point, the MacBook is a computer for people who value portability over everything else. Right now, I wouldn't call it a mainstream machine. The MacBook Airs still have non-retina displays and use the multi-touch trackpads that have been around since 2008. I wouldn't let the 2008 trackpads scare one off; it took years for the Wintel world to start to catch up to them. The MacBooks and MacBook Pros have retina displays and the new force touch trackpads.
  11. He's still a young player learning to steal. Players should know that well before they get to the Major Leagues. The only adjustment that should be necessary at the big league level should be to adapt to the fact that they're running against better defenses. I'd stop well short of calling Villar a moron, though. I think I'd stop short of calling him selfish, too. He's simply making bad decisions.
  12. Zach acquired 34 days of service last year. By Sunday's start, he will have spent approximately 24 days in the minors this year. Add in that the season is about 180 days long, and players have to accumulate 172 days to reach a full year of service. Given all that, I think we're still quite a bit away — about 18 days maybe? — from the Brewers gaining another year of service from him.
  13. I have mine set to tap, which is the most sensitive way you can set a trackpad to respond. I rarely have an "accident," but I could easily see how that could vary from person to person. My experience with the new force touch trackpads is limited to trying them out in the store. They're somewhat easier to click than the old ones. The upside would be that you can click with equal force anywhere on the pad. On the older pads, it becomes easier to click as you move your finger toward the bottom of the pad. Of course, the easier click could cause people do do things they don't want to do. Actually, these new trackpads don't click at all. And they don't move at all except for a very slight bend in the glass surface. The trackpad actually gives tactile feedback and makes a sound to make you think you're clicking. A "click" with extra force will bring up different functions. Because I'm used to tapping, I think I'll be largely unaffected by the new pad. In addition to the trackpads, some report trouble adjusting to the new keyboards because the keys don't travel as much as they used to. Apple's position is that the lesser amount of travel is offset by the keys being larger and more stable. Some reviewers say that they're fine with the keyboards after getting used to them. I didn't notice any significant difference at all. The big adjustment for me was getting used to chicklet keyboards in the first place when they started appearing about a decade ago.
  14. A serial killer is a different animal when compared to more typical crimes. This kind of situation is somewhat independent of the "quality" of a neighborhood. For instance, while Jeffery Dahmer's crimes were committed in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood, Charles Manson's crimes were committed in upscale areas.
  15. If I remember correctly, your computer hasn't been able to run the current operating system for quite some time. That's reason enough to consider an upgrade. I've always figured that I'd run my current Mac for up to a year with an OS that isn't new. The previous OS would still be getting updates, and I'd have time to consider my options. It's turned out that Apple's new operating systems have supported my machine for quite a bit longer than I would have expected them to. As time has gone by, new operating systems have offered features that my computer won't run. I've been OK with that as nothing's been compelling enough to cause me to upgrade. But it'd be nice to have the new toys. There's some particularly nice iPhone/iPad connectivity. For instance, you'd be able to read and send SMS messages and make calls from your Mac; your iPhone would do the heavy lifting. And you can use your personal hotspot without first having to enable it on your device. Also, the AirDrop feature would work between an iPhone/iPad and a newer Mac, which would be great for transferring certain types of files. My biggest beef is that the computer I'd likely want is running an Intel processor that came out in 2013. There've been minor speed upgrades, but no new technology. That's an Intel issue rather than an Apple issue. During that time, Intel hasn't released anything new that's appropriate for the most powerful Mac laptops, i.e. a quad core laptop processor. Lower end Macs have carefully chosen Intel upgrades, i.e. Apple has waited until bugs have been worked out. Microsoft jumped in head first with Intel's latest processor last year, and they paid dearly with bugs that were essentially out of their control. Hopefully, something good happens in the processor department within the next year. In the past three years, the only significant change to the 15 inch Mac notebooks is that they have the new trackpad. Outside of that, the three-year-old Intel processors have gotten minor speed updates.

  17. As I type this, I'm in the waiting room at the guru's getting my keyboard replaced. My 8-year-old MacBook Pro runs the current operating system, but it won't take Sierra when it comes out this fall. I want to see what a product refresh brings before buying something new. However, if my machine were near death, I guess I'd grab something right away.
  18. The overhead digital sign on I-41/94 at Seven Mile Road said "Drive now, Pokémon later."
  19. Isn't "real rumor" somewhat of an oxymoron?
  20. Davies referred to the situation as being "business," which is similar to what he said about being sent down to start the season. I think that's as strong a statement as you're going to get out of him. The difference is that in April, Boras didn't say anything.
  21. Based on what we see on the mound and in interviews, Zach's really even-keeled. You really have to read between the lines to make half a guess at what he's feeling. In other words, we usually don't know. I recall one time when it was apparent that he was pissed. That was when he hit a batter and mouthed a naughty word. On the pissed off scale, that's nothing compared to what we see from a lot of players.
