LeBron James Comes to Los Angeles: It's Good vs. Evil.
Those who follow this blog know that I'm a Cleveland, Ohio boy, born and raised – and a LeBron James fan. Just as I was a Jim Brown fan in my boyhood days. What else can you possibly be when the greatest player in a particular pro sport plays for YOUR hometown team?
But unlike many in Northeast Ohio, I continued to be a LeBron fan even after he left town to pursue championship rings in Miami.
Then, like everyone in Cleveland, I rejoiced in King James' homecoming – and the fact that he took the Cavaliers to four NBA finals appearances in a row. And, oh yeah, the glorious moment when he brought Cleveland it's first pro sports championship since Jim Brown led the Browns to the NFL title in 1964.
So, when LeBron decided to take his talents to Los Angeles this summer, I did not waiver in my fandom.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that I've lived in Los Angeles since 1990 – but that's not the reason I'm still a loyal fan of The King.
In fact, the reasons that I approve of LeBron's move to Los Angeles have been best expressed by the passionate words of a native of L.A., the son of a great friend of mine – and a wise young man who plays varsity basketball for my alma mater, Northwestern University.
Charlie Hall says it better than I could myself. (In bold italics below)…
I am a LeBron James fan. I am a Cleveland Cavaliers fan. Despite being from Los Angeles, I have NEVER been a Los Angeles Lakers fan. That being said, this is bigger than me. There is a larger mission here. That mission is simple: restore good in the universe.
In other words: Beat the Golden State Warriors. The 73-9, adding Kevin Durant, dancing, gaslighting, EVIL Golden State Warriors.
Perhaps shooting threes is more efficient than a hard drive into a contact layup. It's worth more points and it takes less energy. I get it.
However, jacking up a three point shot from damn near half court and shimmying your way to your bench to high five Kevin Durant? That lacks heart. That lacks integrity. That lacks ANY of the qualities that are consistent with why we love basketball. The grit. The strength in the face of adversity. It's all gone.
If we're being honest with ourselves, the Warriors are going to win. Again and again. Forever. Or until a core member leaves or gets injured.
Now, there is ONE other factor that can derail the Warriors. His name is Lebron James. The philanthropist, family man, forceful inside presence. The man that brought a championship to the city of Cleveland. The GOOD GUY.
He needs guys around him and didn't have that in Cleveland. Let's get one thing straight, he doesn't have it in Los Angeles either. However, he CAN attract the talent. The talent needed to dethrone evil. Horrible, horrible evil.
A part of me wishes LeBron stayed. The little kid from Akron, bringing championships to his hometown, with little to no help? It's picturesque. It's gorgeous.
But he's 33 years old. His time is running out. The chances of him bringing more rings to Cleveland were zero. ZERO.
I'm not sure how much time we have left with this legend, the greatest ambassador the league has ever had — this role model for so many. But I do know one thing: His work isn't done. We need him to give us one more unforgettable moment. One more.
That moment could've happened in Philly, Houston, Boston, San Antonio, anywhere. But now it has to happen in Los Angeles.
So please Mr. James. Whatever you have left. Use it to dunk on Stephen Curry. Use it to defend Kevin Durant. Get Draymond a tech. Do what you have to do. But let's be clear: You HAVE to do it. There is no other option.
Forever a Cavs fan.
Forever a LeBron fan.
And for the sake of all things good: A newfound Los Angeles Lakers fan.

LeBron James & the NBA Finals = Must-See TV
Today, LeBron James will play in his eighth straight NBA Finals.
King James and his Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Golden State Warriors for the fourth year in a row.
LeBron and the Cavs are the clear underdogs.
In fact, the Warriors are historic favorites in the 2018 NBA Finals. The reigning NBA champs are favored by 10 to 1 odds to win their third title. The Warriors are favored by 12.5-points in tonight's Game One: the largest point spread in recent Finals history.
So, despite the odds — why do I believe LeBron James has a legitimate shot to win his fourth NBA title?
I have three simple reasons:
He's LeBron James.
He's having an historic year.
And I hate Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors.
Full disclosure: I'm a Cleveland boy, born and raised. I've been a Cavaliers fan since the franchise was launched in 1970 — and Austin Carr led them to the '76 Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, losing valiantly in 6 games.
The Cavs had their moments after that — making 10 playoff appearances from 1985 to 1998. But they rarely made it past the first round.
In 1989, for instance, Michael Jordan famously dashed their hopes by draining a first-round series-winning buzzer-beater over Cleveland's Craig Ehlo. It was Game 5 of a 5-game series. (Remember those?) And Cleveland was playing at home.
Man, that was painful.
Then came LeBron James.
James played high school basketball in Akron Ohio – just 40 miles from Cleveland.
Already a national sensation as a teenage high school player, his hometown Cavaliers made LeBron the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft .
As a 20-year-old kid – in just his second year in the NBA — LeBron poured in 56 points against the Toronto Raptors, setting Cleveland's single-game scoring record and was named to his first All-NBA Team. (This year, in his fifteenth season in the league, he earned that honor again.)
In his third season in 2006, LeBron was named the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player and finished second in the NBA MVP voting to Steve Nash. He led The Cavs into the playoffs for the first time since 1998, losing to the Detroit Pistons in the second round.
LeBron's fourth year in the league marked him as a true superstar. He led the Cavs to 50 wins for the second year in a row and took his team all the way to the 2007 NBA Finals against one of the NBA's greatest teams: the San Antonio Spurs. LeBron and his overmatched Cavs were swept in four games – setting the stage for his infamous "Decision" to jump to the Miami Heat.
LeBron's years with the Heat are well documented.
At the time, I went on the record that I didn't blame LeBron for leaving the Cavs. Far from burning his jersey like some bitter fellow Clevelanders, I cheered him as he won two NBA championships in his four years in Miami – then welcomed his Northeast Ohio homecoming.
It didn't take long for LeBron to return the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals. He did it in his first year back. And if Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving had been able to play in the 2015 Finals against the Golden State Warriors they might have won.
Anyway, LeBron led the Cavs to victory the following year – my hometown's first major sports championship since Jim Brown, Frank Ryan and Gary Collins led the Browns over the Colts in 1964!
Then LeBron and the Cavs lost to Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and the Warriors in last year's Finals. It was The King's seventh straight NBA Finals appearance.
And tonight's tip-off marks Lebron's eighth straight Finals.
Okay, I know that Bill Russell and his 1960's-era Celtics made a shitload of NBA Finals. In fact, Russell made 10 straight Finals. Bill Russell is certainly one of the all-time greats — but let's look at a typical NBA playoff bracket from Russell's playing days.
Do you notice something?
For most of those ten dominant years, Russell and his Celtics played just 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs. And they usually played only two. LeBron James – like all of his modern NBA contemporaries — has faced four grueling playoff rounds every single year. Just sayin'.
And then there's this business about Kevin Durant vs. LeBron. Don't compare Durant's playoff success with LeBron's. (How far did The Slim Reaper ever take the Thunder?) And please don't equate Durant's jump to the Warriors with LeBron's move to the Heat.
When LeBron went to The Heat, it had been 5 years since they were in the Finals and won an NBA championship. Durant joined Golden State the year after they had made two consecutive Finals appearances and won their first NBA title.
Kevin Durant is a front-runner. LeBron James is something else altogether.
As both teams prepare for tip-off tonight, I am confident that LeBron James will burnish his legacy in these NBA Finals.
And if Kevin Love is healthy enough to make his usual All-Star contribution on the boards and from the 3-point line – and Kyle Korver or J.R. Smith or Jeff Green or George Hill step up and hit some shots – then I like my team's chances, despite the long odds against them.
One thing is certain.
I'm not betting against LeBron James.
I'm not betting against The King.

A Post-Victory Look at My Earlier Take on the 2016 NBA Finals.
I wrote this post before the Finals started. And when the Cavs were down 3 games to 1 after Game 4, it might have seemed like I would have to eat crow. But, somehow, I never lost faith that LeBron and my Cavs would prevail. (You can ask my daughter, Emilia.) With all due humility, I've highlighted the best parts in bold.
Okay. It's the NBA Finals.
Starting tonight — Thursday, June 2nd — the battle between the Eastern Conference Champion Cleveland Cavaliers and the Western Conference Champion Golden State Warriors will get underway.
And as a Cleveland boy, born and raised, I must call my shot.
So, I'm calling LeBron "King" James and the Cavs over Stephen "Mouthpiece-Masticating" Curry and his Golden State NBA golden boys.
Of course, Warrior fans will say I'm favoring Lebron and the Cavs simply because I'm a myopic, championship-starved Northeastern Ohio native looking to Lebron James through the distorted prism of a basketball-related messianic complex.
But, while that's true — it's not the whole reason.
I'm calling this NBA Finals series for the Cavs mostly because of the fact that, this year, Lebron is heading into the Finals with a healthy team: with All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving fully fit for service.
In the 2015 Finals, Stephen Curry and the Warriors barely held off James and the Cavaliers in 6 tightly contested games – without Love and Irving on the court. Now, with Kevin and Kyrie healthy and ready to compete – the balance of power has shifted toward Cleveland.
3-point shooting has been the hallmark of Golden State's potent offense. But in the first two rounds of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, the Cavs lit it up from beyond the arc. James, Love, Irving, J.R. Smith, Channing Frye and Co. rained threes in an historic fashion. In fact, the Cavs' 3-point shooting percentage in the 2016 playoffs is higher than that of Golden State's sharpshooters. But hoisting threes isn't the key to Cleveland's game.
Golden State has no answer for Cleveland's interior strength. As much as Golden State wants to run up and down the court jacking up crazy threes from half-court, the team that controls the paint (and the boards) will still have the advantage. And I'll take Cleveland's big men, Tristan Thompson and Timofey Mozgov, over Golden State's Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli every game.
And let's keep an eye on the Warrior's volatile emotional touchstone, Draymond Green. He's just two technical fouls away from big trouble – and one flagrant foul away from suspension. Can he last the series without getting himself suspended for a game or two? Count on the Cavs to take it to the rim against Green early and often. Draw contact. We'll see whether trash-talking, crotch-kicking Draymond can control his dramatics – and his cheap shots.
I could go on and on about the specifics of match-ups and man-to-man breakdowns — but ultimately, I'll confess that my take on the 2016 NBA Finals is less analytical than emotional.
Cleveland hasn't won a major sports championship since the great Jim Brown and Frank Ryan's Browns won an NFL Title in 1964. That's 52 long years in the wilderness.
This year — with Cleveland hosting Donald Trump's madcap Republican National Convention this July, my downtrodden but proud, hardworking hometown needs a prophylactic, honorable, full court shot of redemption.
I believe Lebron and the Cavs will make that shot.
So, I say Cavs in 6.
Or less. (Okay, here's where I went over the top.)
Game on.

One Cleveland Boy's Take on the 2016 NBA Finals.
Or less.
July 2, 2015 · 10:29 am
Small Ball? Please. The Cavs Go Big. Big Time.
Please pardon this Clevelander for crowing – but the Cavaliers have had a very good offseason so far. After taking the Golden State Warriors to 6 games in the 2015 NBA Finals without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love, the Cavs are fully reloaded for the 2015-16 season.
With Kevin Love's re-signing on the first day of free agency, the message to the rest of the NBA is clear: The Cavs will be going back to the Finals. And this time, barring injury, Stephen Curry and Co. – or anyone else — won't be enough to stop them.
So many trendy NBA pundits and executives have gotten all excited about "small ball" and how the Cavs were done in by Golden State's jump-shooting lineup of shorter players. But the fact is that the Warriors were nearly down 3-0 to a Cavs team without Irving wreaking havoc at the point or Love stretching the floor, grabbing rebounds and knocking 'em down from long distance.
Take a moment to consider the Cavs starting five. This is a team that can start All-Star Kyrie Irving at the 1. LeBron James at the 2: easily the leagues most overpowering shooting guard. All-Star Kevin Love (6'10") at the 3, Tristan Thompson (6'10") at the 4 and Timofey Mozgov (7'1") at the 5. Let anyone else play small ball. The Cavs front line is a shot-blocking, rebound-eating animal – with a guy in Kevin Love who will murder you from the 3-point line.
With this lineup, there is so much less pressure on LeBron night after night. He doesn't need to score a triple double every night like he averaged in the NBA Finals. He's got more than enough help in every facet of the game.
A word to David Blatt: This is your starting five. Do NOT be afraid to start such a big front line. There will be plenty of room in the paint for LeBron and Kyrie to drive to the hoop when Love leaks out to the perimeter and a defender has to follow him. And on defense, no opponent is getting to the rim easily — if at all.
I'll be interested to see what the Cavs can do to improve their bench. But just sending Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith back to the bench is a good start. And I love Matthew Dellavedova and his hustle, but we could use a bit more bench help at the point. (Though I do want to keep Deli!)
Say a prayer for good health, Cavs Fans, our long municipal nightmare may soon be over.
And given that the average age of our starting five is just 26 years old — the future of the Cleveland Cavaliers looks very, very big.

Heat Make History in My Hometown!
Okay, last week I admitted that my head was buried in the NBA season as it drove toward the playoffs — and that my favorite teams were the Los Angeles Clippers featuring Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, and the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat, led by LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
Well, on a night like tonight – March 20, 2013 – it's easy to see why I'm captivated by the drama playing out on the NBA hardwood.
By the time my Western Conference team, The Clippers, walked off the court after trouncing the Philadelphia 76ers at Staples Center in downtown L.A. by 29 points, 101-72 – my Eastern Conference team had already come back from a ridiculous, impossible-to-overcome deficit to earn its 24th consecutive victory.
LeBron James and The Heat were playing The King's former team, The Cleveland Cavaliers (my hometown franchise). LeBron & Company were behind by 27 points with about 7 minutes left in the third quarter – and still managed to pull out the victory to extend the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, surpassing the 2007-08 Houston Rockets.
With a roaring, rabid, sellout Cleveland crowd of 20,562 taunting their former hometown hero at the foul line — with the game on the line — a cold-blooded LeBron, the reigning NBA MVP, drained two free throws to win the game 98-95.
The moment was ridiculously dramatic. The irony was exquisite. That LeBron should cap such a furious, historic comeback cooly at the foul line was one thing — but that he should do it against the team that he left so infamously a few years ago was the final scene of an almost preposterously perfect script, played by the greatest actor currently performing on an NBA court.
Even though I'm a proud Clevelander, I gotta give props where they're due.
Now, LeBron and The Heat are within nine games of matching The Los Angeles Lakers' record of 33 consecutive wins during the 1971-72 season – a mark of excellence once thought to be untouchable.
"This was one of the most bizarre, unique days of my life with everything that happened," said James, referring to the fact that a fan ran onto the floor, wearing a t-shirt encouraging him to re-sign with Cleveland next year. "It also was one of the best comebacks I've ever been a part of. The streak wasn't on my mind, but us getting blown out was."
LeBron, of course, scored a triple-double — with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
Miami's 27-point comeback was the largest collapse in the Cavaliers' 43-season history. Miami, down 23 points at intermission, set a franchise record for its largest halftime comeback.
How special was Miami's comeback?
ESPN just informed me that in the long history of the NBA — in games where a team was behind by 23 points or more at halftime — the team that was losing lost the game more than 2,000 times.
And only a dozen of them hung on to win the game.
What a wild, historic night.
Can't wait for the playoffs!

Lakers goeth before the Cavs…
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18
A little over a month ago, the Los Angeles Lakers drubbed my downtrodden, LeBron James-abandoned, hometown Cleveland Cavaliers by 55 points. It was the worst night of a dismal basketball season for a humble NBA franchise that had come close to greatness while witnessing the rise of King James.
In the long months since LeBron left Cleveland, I've had to endure a steady stream of Los Angeles sports radio blather about the inevitability of another Lakers championship.
Even when the Lakers lost games they should have won against inferior teams, the rationale was that, come the playoffs, the Lakers will "hit the switch".
And that could still happen, but…
Cavs head coach (and ex-Laker) Byron Scott must have enjoyed the upset victory over his former team.
Last night, on the glorious evening of February 16, 2011 – the Cleveland Cavaliers rose up on their home court and regained a measure of civic and personal pride by beating the defending NBA champs 104-99. The Cavs' emotional upset of the Lakers was Los Angeles' third loss in a row going into the All-Star break.
That's why so many of us are passionate about sports. It's partly about the action and the stunning athleticism – but mostly it's about the drama, the stories – and transcendent moments like what happened to the Goliath Lakers at the hands of the Cavaliers last night.
For one night in Cleveland — in the middle of an otherwise abysmal season — the Cleveland Cavaliers were giant-killers.
Pride goeth before the fall…
And sometimes just before the All-Star break.

Miserable Performaces…
Rarely have I awakened to the news of two more miserable performances – in two totally different spheres – than I did today.
Yesterday, my hometown Cleveland Cavaliers came to Los Angeles and embarrassed themselves in an historic way. Yes, they lost LeBron James last year – but now they are in danger of losing their dignity as professional sportsmen.
The Cavs lost their 11th straight game, as the Lakers cruised to a 112-57 beat-down. It was The Lakers best defensive performance of the shot clock era, their second largest margin of victory, ever — and a new record for points allowed by the Lakers: eight fewer than their previous low of 66.
The line score looked like this.
It was, in every way, a miserable performance.
"It can't be any worse than this. If it is, someone will have to help me because I don't know how much of this I can take," said Cavalier Antawn Jamison. "This by far is rock-bottom. It's definitely by far one of the most embarrassing moments that I've been a part of as far as basketball."
Luckily for the Cavaliers, Sarah Palin chose today to come out of hiding (at least electronically) after the tragic shooting in Tuscon. Like Bin Laden in his cave, Sarah has sent us all a video so that we should hear her message loud and clear.
Palin's message is shameless and entirely self-serving. Not a hint of grief. Not a moment of self-reflection. Only a crassly-constructed case for her own victimhood, including an awful reference to "blood libel," which has even right wing commentators like Jonah Goldberg scratching their heads.
I wont bother to post her video here. You can find it easily on YouTube. You may especially enjoy the exquisite madness of her reference to how American political discourse was more polarized back in the day when there was dueling. Yes, Aaron Burr vs. Alexander Hamilton has so much to teach us about the events in Tuscon…
On the day when President Obama is scheduled to address a national memorial ceremony in Tuscon, sister Sarah's attempt at hand-washing via video could not have come at a more inappropriate time. I doubt she understands why.
Both the Cavaliers and Sarah Palin have just turned in absolutely miserable performances.
I can forgive the Cavs.
In closing, here's a sign that was left at the spontaneous memorial outside of the medical center in Tuscon where Rep. Giffords and other victims are being treated. In just a few symbols, it says what Sarah Palin can never allow herself to say.

DUMBARTON and SPFL Championship bottom club Cowdenbeath fought out a competitive but goalless draw at the Bet Butler Stadium.
DUMBARTON and SPFL Championship bottom club Cowdenbeath fought out a competitive but goalless draw at the Bet Butler Stadium in front of an 851 crowd.
Both part-time sides played well in defence and midfield and looked promising in attack, but both were dire in front of goal. Player of the month Danny Rogers in the Dumbarton goal and Cowden keeper Robbie Thomson were rarely troubled.
Garry Fleming, Jordan Kirkpatrick and Mark Gilhaney all came fairly close to putting the home side ahead, but at the other end the visitors produced a series of good moves and looked more threatening, particularly on loan striker Kudus Oyenuga — but he could not find a killer final pass and his shooting was wild.
In the second half it was more of the same, with Sons coming closest through winger Archie Campbell, Kirkpatrick and sub Colin Nish.
It was no surprise when a Sons defender, Scott Taggart, was named man of the match, and the draw extended Sons unbeaten run to five matches.
The picture shows the ever busy Garry Fleming trying a shot.

Here is a list of prominent activists and government critics, including Alexei Navalny, pictured above, who have been charged, jailed or sentenced.
Here is a list of prominent activists and government critics, including Alexei Navalny, who have been charged, jailed or sentenced.
MOSCOW — Russia's most effective anti-corruption campaigner and opposition leader was found guilty of embezzlement Thursday and sentenced to five years in prison in a verdict that sent shock waves throughout the country.
The conviction of Alexei Navalny, 37, a leading critic of President Vladimir Putin with a penchant for exposés and cutting jibes, brought condemnation from those who view the case as politically driven. Opponents said it showed that Putin recognizes few bounds in his determination to crush challengers.
Even before the conviction, U.S.-Russian relations had turned increasingly brittle. White House officials said Thursday that President Obama's scheduled September trip to Moscow to meet with Putin is in limbo because of uncertainty surrounding Edward Snowden, the fugitive National Security Agency contractor who fled to Russia and is seeking asylum there.
Russia's president cracks down on dissent.
The conviction and sentencing of Navalny were based on old charges that Russian prosecutors had previously declined to pursue. The outcome ignited an unsanctioned rally in the center of Moscow, where by evening a crowd of several thousand had gathered along the sidewalks of streets leading toward Manezh Square.
Navalny's case has been the most prominent in a series of criminal prosecutions that Russian authorities have launched against their critics since the outbreak of political protest in late 2011 — much of it led by Navalny.
The anti-corruption blogger had emerged at the head of an opposition movement that represented the sharpest challenge in years to the hold that Putin and his allies have maintained over Russian politics.
But Navalny and others quickly became the targets of a serious crackdown that Putin launched after he returned to the presidency in May 2012, with demonstrators arrested, laws passed to limit protests and some nongovernmental organizations required to register as foreign agents.
Even before his trial began in April in Kirov, a city about 550 miles northeast of Moscow, Navalny said he expected to be convicted on what he and his supporters contended were trumped-up charges. But Navalny had been hoping for a suspended sentence, in the belief that the Kremlin would want to avoid a backlash if it appeared too harsh.
As he was led into custody, it became clear that those in power in Russia have chosen not to be subtle as they crack down on the opposition.
"They're afraid," said Natalia Novikova, 48, speaking of the authorities. "At least when Navalny was around, there was hope." With passing cars honking in support, the police presence was heavy, and as many as 60 people were detained.
Navalny's supporters had called his prosecution a decisive moment for the protest movement. In an unexpected move, prosecutors asked for Navalny to be placed under house arrest until his sentence goes into effect in 10 days — also the appeal period — perhaps in an attempt to allow public anger to dissipate. The judge made no public comment on the request, however, and Navalny remained in jail as of Thursday night.
Besides the protest in Moscow, unsanctioned rallies were held Thursday evening in St. Petersburg, Tomsk, Samara, Kazan and Izhevsk.
In a recent interview, Navalny had warned that "Putin will resist to the end" those seeking his ouster. "He understands if he leaves, he will go to jail," Navalny said of the Russian leader.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called the case a show trial. And Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) called for Navalny's immediate release.
"Today's political conviction of Alexei Navalny continues Russia's turn back to the darker days of the Soviet Union when courts were weapons of tyranny rather than legitimate defenders of the rule of law," he said.
After Navalny was led out of the packed courtroom, his wife, Yulia, addressed supporters and journalists, striking a defiant tone.
Navalny is registered as a candidate in Moscow's September mayoral election. His conviction will not necessarily bar him from running, as long as his appeals have not been exhausted. Authorities in the capital have been eager to have him in the race, confident that he would lose to the acting mayor, Sergei Sobyanin.
Navalny was charged with theft over a deal he arranged in 2009, when he was an assistant to the governor in Kirov — he found a middleman to buy timber from a struggling logging company. Because the middleman made a profit on the timber, the prosecution charged that Navalny had effectively deprived the lumber company of nearly $500,000 by getting it to agree to sell below market value.
Yevgenia Albats, editor of New Times magazine, tweeted that the court had overturned capitalism.
In contrast to what has happened to Navalny, the former head of a Moscow district who was convicted of embezzling $42 million was given five years of probation by a judge on July 7.
Late Tuesday, Navalny posted his latest exposé— a story about Vladimir Yakunin, the head of the government-owned Russian Railways. Navalny alleged that Yakunin has funneled millions of dollars in public money into companies run by his wife and sons, many of them based offshore.

Q: Singular vs plural
You can learn from a bot as its move is better than yours.
You can learn from a bot as its moves are better than yours.

Is there any "feeling" or "meaning" difference between these two if you hear them? Or there difference is so small to the point interchangeable (unless there are absolutely more than two moves and you want to be precise)?

A: The first suggests that there is one particular move that is better than yours that you are learning from. If you want to invoke its moves in general being better than yours, you should use the plural.
While it is true that "a bot's move is better than yours" can be understood as being a general statement that can be applied to any of the bot's moves, its focus is on one move. That is, it is saying "If you pick any of the bot's moves, that one move will be better than yours." It's general it the sense that it applies to all of the bot's moves, but specific in the sense that once a move is picked, it applies to that one move. This probably sounds confusing, and usually this difference isn't important, but there are cases where the different types of generalizations do matter, and this is such a case. There's a difference between saying "If you pick one of the bot's moves, it will be better than yours, and because of that you can learn from the bot" and "All of the bots moves are better than yours, and you can learn from that". The first sentence makes it sound like just one move being better is enough.

A: We can refer to the generic or to a general truth using the singular or the plural.

A bot's move is (always) better than yours.
A bot's moves are (always) better than yours.

Neither of those sentences is referring to a specific move or specific moves an unidentified bot has made, of course. They are referring to the general state of affairs.

A giraffe has a long neck.
Giraffes have a long neck.

U.S. Census Bureau Resumes Limited Field Operations in New York and NYC Continues Outreach While State Remains MIA
2020 Census efforts continue, though NY State is MIA (photo: Governor's Office)
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit New York, it posed severe impediments to the 2020 Census process, forcing local, state, and federal officials to suspend plans for on-the-ground outreach to make sure all state residents are counted. But federal and city officials have continued remote operations to encourage a robust self-response to the decennial population count and, as regions across New York State begin to approach a sense of normalcy, the U.S. Census Bureau has resumed
With No Relief from Washington in Sight and Billions in Budget Cuts Looming, What Can New York State Do?

Despite pleas from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and state and local government leaders across the nation for major new federal help for budgets devastated by the COVID-19 recession, there is still no clear path to Washington acting quickly to provide financial relief.
Although on May 15 the House of Representatives, with its Democratic majority, passed a $3 trillion aid bill for the country that included $1 trillion for state and local governments, President
Front-Line Workers Must Prove They Contracted Coronavirus on the Job to Receive Workers' Comp

Nine weeks after Governor Andrew Cuomo closed all but essential businesses and services, many of the state's essential workers are now finding themselves struggling with their employers and insurance companies for injury benefits related to COVID-19, and for those who die, their survivors are left to pick up the mantle.
Infected front-line staff, from health-care workers to grocery store clerks, are being asked to prove they contracted the virus on the job in order to
Muddled, Shifting Messages from De Blasio on Essential Metrics as City Nears 'Reopening'

New York City's response to the coronavirus outbreak has been a battle on shifting sands. As information about the disease and officials' recognition of its threat evolved over time, so did the government approach, from initially continuing business as usual well after the first cases in the city were confirmed to a statewide shutdown of sorts and strict social distancing guidelines that have now been in place in New York City for over two
City Budget Crisis, State Bail Reform Could Delay Closure of Rikers Island Jails
(photo: Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography Office)
The Rikers Island jail complex, a notorious and decrepit institution sitting on 413 acres in the East River, was slated for closure well before New York City became the country's epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, during which the complex has emerged as a hotspot for infections that have led to the deaths of several detainees and corrections officers.
But the timeline for shutting down the jail complex and building local jails in four boroughs has been thrust into uncertainty by countervailing
Governor Cuomo Owes Subway Riders and Homeless New Yorkers A Housing Plan

The subway is New York's circulatory system. If it doesn't recover, New York won't. But reopening the subway and the city means more than running more trains: It also means helping homeless New Yorkers who today have nowhere else safe to go.
That is because, as Governor Cuomo demonstrated, the city's transit crisis is too entwined with its housing crisis for the MTA alone to bring the subway back. In response to the rising number of New Yorkers with no choice
As 2020 Count Proceeds, New York State Census Plans Haven't Launched

According to plans, New York state government would have spent the equivalent of $70 million this year on its effort to ensure that all New Yorkers are counted in the 2020 Census. But as the state has experienced a devastating coronavirus outbreak, that effort has, for all appearances, never gotten off the ground, and Governor Andrew Cuomo's administration has done little to inform residents that it is in their best interest and that of the entire state to fill out the Census.
Coronavirus Crash Prompts Renewed Calls for New York Divestment from Fossil Fuels, But Comptroller Stands Pat

The oil and gas industries are experiencing significant upheaval as the coronavirus pandemic decimates economies across the globe. The price of crude oil in the United States temporarily fell below $0 per barrel for the first time ever last month, prompting renewed energy among activists and elected officials in New York who want to rid the state pension fund of all investments in the fossil fuel industry.
But the one person they must convince, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli,

A group of Democratic state senators, mostly from New York City, gathered in a digital forum Wednesday night to discuss the government's COVID-19 response. The virtual event, held in partnership with the Fiscal Policy Institute (FPI), a nonprofit liberal think tank, covered topics including the state budget, impending cuts and proposals to raise revenue, and legislation to address ramifications of the virus.

The Governor's Clemency Negligence
Governor Cuomo (photo: Mike Groll/Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo)
At his daily coronavirus press briefing on Sunday, April 26, Governor Cuomo was asked whether he had any plans to grant broad clemencies to people in prison, particularly to vulnerable populations. His testy and dismissive response – "How about if they are violent and just started their sentence?" – was telling. Presumably, the governor meant to remove from consideration people he believed remained a threat to public safety and had not been sufficiently punished.

Cuomo's Density Dodge: Pandemics Aren't Anti-City, Failure to Act Early Is
An altered image from one of Gov. Cuomo's briefings (by Aaron Carr, the author)
Dear fellow urbanites, city dwellers, and city lovers,
I regret to inform you that the heart and soul of New York City is under attack. And not just by COVID-19, which, as of April 27, has taken the lives of an astonishing 16,936 New York City residents, but by fictional statements made by our own governor, Andrew Cuomo, who has deceptively blamed the spread of this infectious, vicious, and deadly disease primarily on our city's population density.

As Governor Andrew Cuomo garnered national attention while leading briefings on New York's response to the novel coronavirus outbreak each day for well over a month, often from Albany and sometimes from Manhattan, one top state official was conspicuously absent: Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul.
Not only was the lieutenant governor not present for any of the governor's first 40-plus daily coronavirus briefings, she was curiously never mentioned as part of the Cuomo

Ten people have died of coronavirus and another 193 have tested positive among the nearly 3,500 residents living in state-run inpatient psychiatric facilities, according to officials, making them one of the hardest hit institutional settings per capita in New York State. Another 283 staff that work at the state's 23 centers have tested positive for COVID-19, which has killed well over 13,000 people across the state.

New York State and City are the gruesome public health epicenter of COVID-19, with horrific daily death tolls. The coronavirus is likely causing New York to also be the economic epicenter of the nation's staggering job and economic loss, although those are statistics that will play catch up.
New York State's fiscal year is April 1 to the following March 31, so the Governor and the Legislature just adopted a new budget (slightly
Surveillance and The City: A New York Dictatorship?

The consequences of poor social distancing, inadequate supply chains, and nearly every other facet of our COVID-19 calamity are nothing short of life and death. But as New York endures a disaster unlike any in our lifetimes, as we see our morgues filled and our store shelves stripped bare, this teeming tidal wave of death might upend most fundamental assumptions about our way of life.

Included in the bills to approve a state budget for the new fiscal year beginning April 1 was the creation of a new campaign finance system with a public-matching program, lower individual contribution limits, and various other changes to campaign finance law. But the controversial inclusion of changes to ballot thresholds could prove to be a poison pill, not for the law but for the several minor political parties

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Wednesday that he will use his executive authority to allow all New Yorkers to vote by absentee ballot for the June 23 elections, to prevent long lines at the polls that could put people at risk of being exposed to the coronavirus. Elections that day will include party primaries for many seats and special elections open to all voters within the relevant districts.

If New Yorkers take Governor Andrew Cuomo's word for it, the new $177 billion budget approved last week will "deliver results" for the people of the state and was a far cry from a "bare minimum" spending plan at a time when the state's finances are racked by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. But within his own Democratic Party, which controls both houses of the Legislature where the plan was passed, the budget is a highly unpopular document that to

As the American people hunker down under a patchwork of evolving emergency orders and health directives, our communities are grappling with extraordinary circumstances disrupting and reorienting our lives and the economy.

Cuomo Hasn't Submitted De Blasio's MTA Board Nominees to State Senate, Which Left Albany Indefinitely
Two months after Mayor Bill de Blasio made his nominations for two empty seats on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board, Governor Andrew Cuomo has yet to send those nominations to the State Senate for its approval. The inaction continues to leave half of de Blasio's four seats empty as the Board makes major decisions impacting virtually everyone who lives or works in New York City.
The MTA Board is composed of 17 voting members, whose decisions have broad impacts on the

Amid the unprecedented public health crisis presented by the coronavirus pandemic, Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature managed to cobble together a $177 billion state budget, though slightly past its deadline, which contains a raft of legislation on criminal justice, environmental protection, public health regulation, campaign finance reform, women's reproductive rights, election administration, gun control, and more.
But the budget session became particularly harried, and focused in

There has always been a discussion about the origins of Blackjack! It is a game that has endured the test of time. After the French revolution, Blackjack grew in popularity across America. In one way or another, the game has a rich history of development. It can nowadays be found in any virtual or land-based casino around the world. The objective of Blackjack by Play'nGO at Aspers Casino Online is to beat the dealer's hand by getting 21 or the nearest number to 21. Blackjack gives you 3 chances to beat the dealer's hand.
Chips values range from £1, £5, £10, £25 or £100! The desired amount can be chosen at the bottom left-hand side of the screen. Simply click on the chip and on the game table where you want to place it. If you want to remove all bets from the table, use the Clear All button! The Rebet button on Blackjack can be used to place the same initial wager as in the preceding round.
If during your gameplay, you think that an additional card would be useful, press on the Hit button. This icon can be clicked multiple times before clicking on Stand. Now if your first two cards are of the same value, you can place a second wager of equal value to split them into 2 separate hands.
The Double button lets you double your bet. How? You will be dealt with one additional card to complete your hand. If you are busted, you will automatically lose your wager. The hand is Blackjack when the first two dealt cards equal to 21. Usually, this beats a hand containing three or more cards that equal to 21.
Whenever the dealer's first card is an ace, you will have the option to place an insurance side bet. If the dealer has Blackjack, you still win 2 to 1 on your insurance bet. If it happens that the value of the dealer's hand is 17-21 and equals the value of your hand, the game result is a push. Kings, Queens and Jacks are worth 10, while cards numbered 2 through 10 are worth their face values. When it comes to an Ace, it may be worth either 1 or 11, depending on which is more beneficial for you on Blackjack.
At Aspers Online Casino, we have a variety of games for you to try out. Here are a few recommendations: Beat Me, Deuces Wild, Pai Gow Poker, Mini-Baccarat, Hit Me! Baccarat and French Roulette NetEnt.

What is a bitcoin address? Is it the same as a blockchain address? How about a deposit address? This article will provide you with some insights into these terms.
A bitcoin address, or BTC address, is similar to an email address: it is used to receive and send funds on the bitcoin network (like you use your email address to send and receive messages) and represents a destination for a bitcoin payment.
Each Bitcoin address contains a string of 26-35 alphanumeric characters, but can also be shown as a scannable QR code. All bitcoin addresses begin with either 1 or 3. At Wirex, all generated addresses start with the number 3, referring to the multi-signature technology that is used for all our wallets. Feel free to read more about bitcoin addresses and multi-signature technology in Bitcoin Wiki.
You can get your Wirex BTC address when viewing your Bitcoin Account/Bitcoin Wallet (on mobile) details in your Wirex account.

Sir John "Black Jack" McEwen (Chiltern (Victoria), 29 maart 1900 - Melbourne (Victoria), 20 november 1980) was een Australische politicus.  Hij was de 18e premier van Australië.

Levensloop
McEwen groeide op als de zoon van Ierse immigranten. Zijn vader overleed op jonge leeftijd en zijn zoon John werd daarom grotendeels opgevoed door zijn grootmoeder en zus. Meteen na zijn achttiende verjaardag nam hij dienst in het Australische leger. Het land was op dat moment in de Eerste Wereldoorlog verwikkeld. De oorlog was al beëindigd op het moment dat McEwen nog in training was. Na zijn periode in het leger ging hij werken in de landbouw en werd actief in de Country Party. Voor die partij werd hij in 1934 in het Australisch parlement gekozen. Van 1937 tot 1941 was hij achtereenvolgend minister van Binnenlandse Zaken, minister van Buitenlandse Zaken en tegelijkertijd minister van de Luchtmacht. Archie Cameron trad in 1940 terug als partijleider. McEwen ging met Earl Page de strijd aan. In de partijverkiezing eindigden ze gelijk. Uiteindelijk kwam Arthur Fadden naar voren als compromiskandidaat.

In 1941 kwam er een einde aan de tienjarige regeerperiode van de United Australia Party en de Country Party. De Labor-partij nam de macht over en gaf die pas in 1949 weer uit handen. De nieuw gevormde Liberale Partij met Robert Menzies aan het hoofd regeerde met steun van de Country Party. McEwen diende in diens regering als minister van Commercie en Landbouw. Vanaf 1956 was hij minister van Handel en Industriële Zaken. In die functie voerde hij een beleid uit dat bekend kwam te staan als McEwenism, namelijk de hoge invoertarieven voor geïndustrialiseerd goederen. Het doel daarvan was de eigen industrie te beschermen en tegemoet te komen vanwege de hoge importtarieven voor landbouwgoederen. Daar profiteerde weliswaar de eigen landbouw van, maar de fabrieken waren daar wel duurder door uit

Fadden ging in 1958 met pensioen en McEwen volgde hem op als partijleider. Toen Robert Menzies in 1966 met pensioen ging was McEwen het langst zittende lid van zijn regering. Na de verdwijning en doodverklaring van zijn opvolger Harold Holt volgde McEwen hem tijdelijk op. Dat gaf de Liberale Partij de tijd om een eigen kandidaat naar voren te schuiven. McEwen had nog een grote invloed op de uitkomst van die zoektocht doordat hij weigerde onder William McMahon te dienen. Hij had een afkeer van die man, mede doordat McMahon pleitte voor een herziening van het importstelsel. Als gevolg daarvan schoof de Liberale Partij senator en minister van Onderwijs John Gorton naar voren als nieuwe premier.

Zelf trok McEwen zich in 1971 terug uit de politiek. Doug Anthony volgde hem op als partijleider. Deze liet weten dat de Country Party geen bezwaren meer had tegen McMahon als premier. Nog geen twee maanden later verving de Liberale Partij hem als nieuwe premier in plaats van Gorton. In 1980 overleed McEwen in Melbourne.

It's pretty obvious that Lady Gaga completely killed this weekend at the Super Bowl.
But some fans decided to focus on something other than that awesome performance. Instead of praising Gaga for her incredible talents, many took to the internet to comment on her body.
Luckily, Gaga's little monsters weren't having it and took to Twitter to not only show Gaga love, but to also promote body positivity.
This was only the start of all the awesome comments that flooded Twitter in support of Lady Gaga.
Fans took down the body shaming trolls and spread love and body positivity to all and that's something we can totally get on board with!

Why are Georgia and Georgia both named Georgia?
What the Deep South and the former USSR have in common.
Both got their present-day monikers from the British. The name of the country comes from the Russian word Gruzia, which was in turn derived from the Persian and Turkish versions of the name George, Gorj and Gurju. It's not clear when the Brits started using the word Georgia in place of Gruzia, but scholars believe the switch happened sometime in the late Middle Ages.
In their native tongue, Georgians refer to themselves as the Kartveli and to their country as Sakartvelo. But the Kartveli have for many centuries been associated with George, the Roman soldier and Christian martyr. (They adopted Christianity under Roman rule in the 330s.) The Arabs, Ottomans, and Persians—who ruled over the country at various times until the Russians took control in 1801—chose to name Sakartvelo after its beloved patron saint, whose image dotted the art and architecture of the region.
The American Georgia, on the other hand, was named after King George II of England, who granted the state its charter in 1732. The –ia suffix, meaning "state of," comes from the Greek and was tacked onto the end of many place names via the vast imperial and lingual legacy of the Romans. The name George became popular in Western Europe only after the Crusades, when knights traveling to the Holy Land came in contact with the widespread veneration of the saint among the Eastern Christians—in places like Georgia. (George became the patron saint of England in the 1340s.) Meanwhile, the saint's name derives from Greek and refers to a tiller of land. In that respect, both Georgia and Georgia live up to their names.
We may refer to both the country and the state by the same name, but the homonymy of Georgia and Georgia doesn't exist in Russian. The soldiers storming the border this week might say they were advancing into Gruzia, as opposed to the American region—which they would pronounce as Gee-OR-gee-ah.

Il Senato della California è la camera alta della legislatura statale della California.

Il Senato conta 40 membri, ognuno rappresentante di un distretto che comprende circa 931.000 abitanti. I senatori sono eletti ogni quattro anni per un mandato di pari durata, con un limite di due mandati (8 anni) prima del 2012, e di tre mandati (12 anni) dal 2012.

Il Senato si riunisce nel Campidoglio a Sacramento.

Storia
Prima del 1968, i distretti elettorali del senato erano limitati tali che una contea poteva contenere al massimo un solo seggio. Ciò ha portato alla situazione della contea di Los Angeles, con 6 milioni di abitanti nel 1968, ricevendo 600 volte meno rappresentanza di residenti della contea di Alpine e della contea di Calaveras, alcune delle meno popolose contee della California. La Corte suprema degli Stati Uniti ha stabilito tutti gli Stati dovevano elaborare distretti elettorali di pari popolazione. Come tali, i confini sono stati modificati in modo più equo.

Leadership del Senato
Il vice governatore della California funge da presidente del Senato, ma vota solamente se vi è parità assoluta. In sua assenza, la presidenza viene assunta dal presidente pro tempore, eletto dal partito di maggioranza a cui segue la conferma da parte dell'intero Senato. Il presidente pro tempore è la prima carica del Senato; i leader di maggioranza e minoranza sono eletti dai rispettivi partiti.
Attualmente, il presidente del Senato è Gavin Newsom, del Partito Democratico; il presidente pro tempore è il democratico Kevin De León; il leader della maggioranza è Bill Monning (D), mentre quello della minoranza è Jean Fuller (R).

Innsbruck offers a choice of four Christmas Markets.
Set in a medieval part of Innsbruck and in front of the Golden Roof, makes for a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. Great stalls for getting traditional Christmas decorations and sampling local food like Glühwein, a mulled wine, a cheesy dumpling called Spatzin and Kiachin a doughnut.
Innsbruck's Main Shopping Street Christmas Market. Set in the heart of Innsbruck, the market on Maria-Theresien-Straße is famed for its lights, crystal and glass. Additionally it is a great place to pick up more traditional Christmas souvenirs.
The Marktplatz Christmas Market is more suitable for families, with its carousel and petting zoo. A delight for young children. Also great for Christmas gift ideas and specialises in traditional regional food.
The Christams Market on the Nordkettenbahn funicular. This is the Innsbruck Christmas Market with a breathtaking view. Other than the view there are also culinary delights and a range of Christmas souvenirs.

Pacers earn sixth straight victory, 99-90 over Hornets
BY Michael Marot • February 12, 2019
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers signed Wesley Matthews to make a difference.
They didn't necessarily expect it show up in his debut.
Just two days after clearing waivers, the veteran guard scored eight points, had five rebounds and three assists and beat the shot-clock buzzer with the biggest basket of the game — a 28-footer to help put away the Charlotte Hornets 99-90. The Pacers have won six straight — all without two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo.
"We thought he (Matthews) was great," coach Nate McMillan said. "Part of the agreement was that he would start when he came and we were OK with that because we thought bringing that type of talent to this roster and having a guy like that going down the stretch and in the playoffs with that type of experience, we were going to need it."
It has been a whirlwind week for the veteran guard, who was traded Thursday from Dallas to New York and was subsequently released. After clearing waivers Saturday, the Pacers announced Sunday they had signed Matthews.
By Monday night, he wasn't just wearing the blue and gold; he was starting.
Initially, Matthews looked understandably out of sync. But as Matthews played on, he emerged as the difference-maker McMillan expected.
While the stat line wasn't spectacular — eight points, five rebounds and three assists — his impact was huge. The long shot he made with 3:57 to play extended Indiana's lead to 92-82. And his second three, with 2:15 left, gave Indiana a game-sealing 97-85 cushion.
"He'll take his shots, you see him, he struggled with his shot a little at the beginning but then he hits (two 3-pointers) toward the end that closes it out," Darren Collison said after finishing with 13 points and eight assists. "That's what he brings to the table."
Three other Indiana players reached double figures, including Myles Turner, who had 18 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Thaddeus Young added 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
Charlotte was led by Kemba Walker, who scored 26 of his 34 points in the second half when the Hornets attempted to rally from a 16-point halftime deficit.
Walker scored half of the Hornets' points during a 10-3 spurt to open the third quarter, made three consecutive free throws to get Charlotte within 64-57 and then made a three with 1:02 left in the quarter to cut the deficit to 72-71.
But Turner and Collison closed out the third with back-to-back baskets, Indiana scored the first eight points of the fourth and Matthews closed it out with his two big shots.
"Everybody's got to do their job," Hornets coach James Borrego said. "Tonight we didn't have all of our guys on board."

— FOX Sports Indiana (@FSIndiana) February 12, 2019
Hornets: Walker has scored at least 30 points in five consecutive games. He also had nine rebounds. ... Jeremy Lamb had 21 points and Cody Zeller added 18 points and nine rebounds while returning to his home state. ... Tony Parker sat out with a sprained back. ... The Hornets were 7 of 40 on threes, 25 of 33 on free throws and shot a season-low 32.2 percent. ... Charlotte lost the season series 2-1 and only has one series win since 2007-08.
Pacers: The Pacers have won at least six straight three times this season, their highest single-season total since 2003-04. ... McMillan moved within three wins of tying Isiah Thomas for No. 6 on the Pacers' NBA franchise career victory list (131). ... Bojan Bogdanovic had 14 points. ... The Pacers were outrebounded 21-5 on the offensive end but were only outscored 16-8 in second-chance points.
Indiana never trailed after taking a 12-11 lead in the first quarter. But the fast starts have become a staple since losing their first four games without Oladipo.
They charged out to a 32-19 lead after one, their fifth straight game with at least 30 points in the first quarter, and extended the margin to 39-19 early in the second.
"It's encouraging when you get out to good starts like this, but it's really (all) defense," Turner said. "I think we held them to 38 points in that first half."
THEY SAID IT
Hornets: "They're one of the best defensive teams, if not the best, in the league," Borrego said.
Pacers: "I'm happy to see them, happy to see them playing well now. I don't expect anything less than that," Oladipo said on a conference call Monday morning.
Hornets: Hope to extend a 13-game winning streak over the Magic when they visit Orlando on Thursday.
Pacers: Will chase a fifth consecutive home win against Eastern Conference-leading Milwaukee on Wednesday.

By neverending do you mean you have to keep playing it over and over and you get the failure cutscene each time or that the minigame itself continues forever?
I have the same issue. The minigame itself continues forever. No failure, no success, no way to stop it.
Is there any way I can provide more info on this? because I can not progress in the game anymore. Do you want a video of it?
any "debug" info I could gather? for me it is 100% reproducible.
Provide steps on how to reproduce. If you can unpack the game code, and print a log of all the variables in the class GuitarHeroMinigame that should help quite a lot. print the state of mrs dewitt's FSM. Have you a patch installed on the game ?
this file should help you print the necessary information to the console.
I don't have any patches installed. I will try to dig up the necessary debug info for you. it is 100% reproducable, I restarted entire game from scratch (new save) and it still happened.
In which folder should this `debug.rpy` be placed?
I was also checking https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/developer_tools.html for hints, but no avail.
And how do I get this console for info?
I do have a save whilst i'm stuck in the minigame, but I don't know where the save files are to send them to you.
It may be an OS-related issue, as I've retested the minigame, and I'm not blocked in a loop whatsoever. Unfortunately, I don't own a mac to test it further (and I don't intend on buying an overpriced PC, sorry).
I can open the console or view the entire var dump (which is a huge list).
How can I output when in the guitarhero minigame the vars of this game?
I see the print statements in the debug version of the class, but when I'm in the minigame the output is not shown in the console. Am I missing something? was the class override not working?
weird. I'll look this over to figure out what's wrong, the class should be overridden, and the prints should show up in the console.
Have been unable to reproduce on OSX.
Have played multiple times, with different numbers of notes missed, nothing has resulted in a never ending minigame.
Hmm I noticed in the new version that stopping it is possible (esc key) this was not working before. I also did multiple clean runs deleting all my saves (didn't know where they were stored before) and now it seems working, after 25 notes passing it fails or succeeds. Because of the slow spawn rate it just takes quite a while.
You would guess it would spawn every 1 to 1.2 seconds, but when clocking it, it spawns every 5 seconds or so.
therefor doing the minigame takes 2 minutes, while each other minigame in the game takes around 30 seconds.
I guess thats why I thought it was never ending.
The issue is resolved (that it it not neverending). It's the spawn rate that is really slow on mac somehow.
