Without opening a discussion about the conflict itself or justifying anything in the article, I will say that as someone who’s been on the receiving end of an adult throwing 5-10 pounds rocks at full strength at them, I truly think you’re underestimating the deadly damage it can cause.

This isn’t a toddler throwing pebbles, such a rock hitting a human will break bones on contact and can absolutely kill of it hits someone’s head

Assessor states 4 bedrooms, per seller this is a 6 bedroom home

For some reason this made me lol

The Jews!

Ignore them, not worth the response. Thanks for the post!

My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

There’s also a complimentary request to make a visual indication of subscribed communities in the feed, I would love to see both!

Starting to get Shawn Kemp level of decision making from this guy

The algorithm?

Amazing work as usual, especially love the custom swipe gestures (all right swipes are upvotes!).

The best app keeps getting better!

Oh wow, I was there a few days ago and we could barely stay outside the car for more than 5 mins to take a few pictures. The heat was absolutely unbearable and at every corner there were warning signs literally saying “no hiking, you will die”. I can’t imagine someone going on a physically intensive activity like hiking there…

Thanks for the update, where did you find the 4 hours documented?

So they’re supposed to mark the new comments that we’re created less the 10 mins ago. I’m not sure why you’re seeing the other comment highlighted when it’s a few hours old, did you follow a link to that specific comment? If so, that comment will also be highlighted

Thanks for the reply. I really like that option - it’s a good balance between having a place to discuss every single game and not creating a post for each. It should also be pretty straight forward to port from the existing implementation :) I’ll play with it in the next months and see how it goes.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks for the detailed, clear answer. It makes sense so won’t hold my breath for it for the time being 🙂

(disclaimer - I’m the mod that created the bot)

First of all, I really want to thank you and everyone in the comments for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and feedback. I don’t take that lightly and truly appreciate it. I myself had similar concerns and thoughts and I would love for this to be a discussion towards the best solution for this community.

When I started working on the bot, I didn’t have any “uber plan”, I simply saw a few game threads created manually, a few post game threads and decided it could be a cool addition to the community if we could automate these. What I realized quickly were two aspects - One was that trying out the bot can only happen, well, when games are being played and that if I don’t try it out before the summer league ends, I won’t be able to test it until mid Oct-ish when the league starts. The 2nd one was that Summer League is a surprisingly busy period from a schedule pov, with about 6-8 games a day, every day. That meant that the bot will create quite a lot of activity (“noise”) in its first days, in a mostly (the most?) quit time of the year. Today’s actually the last day of games in the next few months so either way you won’t see too much from the bot for the next 2-3 months.

Taking that into account, I decided to continue working on the bot mainly so we (the mods) could get your opinions and your feedback. I wanted to see what works, and what doesn’t. What folks like, and what isn’t great. In a few days, we found a bunch of issues and made many tweaks to how it works. It’s much better today that only a week ago. As an aside, I’ve gotten quite a few asks to share the code with other communities, so I think all in all it was the right decision.

Having said all that, your key point I feel stands strong - we’re not as big as r/nba and shouldn’t try to mimic what’s working there. I suggest that when the season starts in a few months, we re-evaluate how we want the bot to work - as it is now, in a limited capacity (single daily discussion thread?), or not at all. The ultimate goal is to encourage discussions, and if we, as a community feel the bot is not driving that (even holding it back), there’s absolutely no reason for it to exist.

Hope this kind if makes sense? please share you thoughts as well

👍

I’m working on open sourcing it as we speak, and already added support for a single team so it should be ready in a few days

I’ve thought about it but there are two issues - one is that Twitter (Elon…) just locked their API so the bot would need to use some hack to scrape the twitter pages (not impossible though). The other is that like you said, we don’t want to post every Woj/Shams tweet but by the time the important ones reach 10k likes (or a similar filter), someone probably would post them here already so we’d be posting stake tweets…

not sure I have a solution for the 2nd problem, happy to hear opinions :)

all the threads are automatic, the Bot just keeps running all the time and updates them
