As an avid beach volleyball player, every tournament and most league games have one or more people recording them with cell phones or go pros on tripods at the end line. Just part of the game.

Nobody bats an eye, I assume because we're already out in public, basically in bathing suits.


"The tie goes to the runner" died with instant replay, and I think that is sad. If you need multiple super slow-motion angles to determine if they were out or safe, it should be a tie, in my opinion.

I also just say watch every angle at full speed for those types of replay, no slow-mo. Keeps the magic, but let's you correct egregious calls.


Tie goes to the runner was never in the rules.


And that's what makes baseball awesome.

Everyone knows the tie goes to the runner but it's not an official rule apparently.

The soul of baseball is in the squishy parts. Quantifying the life out of it is not a good idea.

I'd love to read this, but can't seem to find it. Any idea where I could find it at?


I think it’s an outtake from the “You suck at excel talk” by Joel Spoelsky


I can't find where I thought I read this. I'm assuming I must have seen a transcript of this speech, once? Regardless, I'm fairly confident this is what I was remembering. Thanks!

The way to write that on the command line Powershell would be:

    ps ffmpeg
Whereas your longer example is what you put in the PS1 file.
