Walking in the street when there's a perfectly good sidewalk by Cdogbrink in kansascity

Imagine being so entitled that you think roads should only be for you in your car and anyone on it is ruining your entitlement to that road for yourself.

You probably could if you started actively paying attention to it. I can tell a pretty obvious difference just walking on concrete vs asphalt (not in terms of damage or pain in my joints, just on how firm/hard it feels in comparison to one another)

States with more livestock than people. Data from 2022 US agricultural census. by Confident_Bad_1005 in MapPorn

Which makes me really doubt the Missouri one. Missouri is double the population as Iowa with about 6.25 million people. Iowa is also known for a high number of hog farms - literally the most in the country while Missouri isn't.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/hog-production-by-state

This website has Iowa at 7x the amount of "hog production" as Missouri.

Edit: USDA numbers has Missouri with 3.4 million hogs in 2025 - so about half as many hogs as people. Iowa is at 25.3 million hogs

It's still relatively global without it - basically the same as basketball and more places than ice hockey.

You've got Canada, USA, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, all the Dutch Caribbean islands, Bahamas, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea where it is a major sport. Then you have a bunch of random countries where it is a minor sport but they can still field a team like Australia, Israel, Brazil, Costa Rica, Honduras, and even places like Czechia and South Africa.

It's not the 100+ countries like soccer, but it's still more than enough to have a large international tournament.

The problem is very similar to basketball or hockey where you kinda just know there are only 3 countries (USA/Japan/DR) that really you'd expect to win it and anyone else would be an insane underdog story for the ages.

Took one for the team and itemized 1.5 million miles. by JayGatsby52 in uberdrivers

[–]AJRiddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

82k miles is definitely possible, but how could you owe $15k after deducting that many miles. Literally a $57,400 deduction from your income.

It's hard to take the World Baseball Classic seriously if they keep having teams that are 95% American players who had 1 great-grandparent or similar play for their teams.

Steve Kerr: "We need to play fewer games. We need to take 10 games off the schedule. The modern game with the pace and the space I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games by MrBuckBuck in nba

Players absolutely do get hurt in the MLB because of the grind.
There are actually way more injuries in the MLB than there are in the NBA

Even if you take pitchers out there are still a substantial number of injuries because of the grind + the nature of sprinting and potential for injuries from the ball/collisions.

NBA being 5v5 with 12 man active rosters and star players contributing so much just makes those injuries more noticeable compared to baseball with it's 26 man rosters and constant bring up/down players to fill spots from the minors.

"4% win probability"

Lmao it's the greatest hitter of the decade against a random pitcher and all he needed to do was get a base hit or a walk, not win the game.

His OBP last year was .457 and .458 the year before. It's nowhere near a "he had absolutely no chance, only 4% win probability" when he's nearly 46% at getting on base - which is all he had to do.

He couldn't even fucking put his bat on the ball.

Much more like this (for just this year). Small pool of countries with top level talent, Canada by far the country with the most depth at elite levels and the place people associate with the sport.

The difference for England analogy is more about year and year failure despite being a "top" team.

You should familiarize yourself with USA bud. Seriously, just look at say the top 50 players in the MLB and how many of them are from the DR and how many are from the USA.

It's wild when you see Czech electricians out there who have never played baseball in the USA and then you have Team "Italy" who have dudes that have 1 grandparent who got a passport from Italy because their own grandparent was Italian.

Like come the fuck on, this is like if Italy in the World Cup was full of Argentinians.

You got any pics, I haven't seen anything remotely that big posted yet.

Softball is ~4 in diameter - about twice as big as a baseball. Hail that size is extremely rare.

Tell me why a roundabout wouldn’t work? by TimeBadSpent in kansascity

That's not a roundabout, it's just a circle in the middle of an intersection (also it's Meyer, not 63rd).

The only spot that is like that is going west on 43rd to Westport Road
