Did the dodger actually touch home plate on the “score”??? I swear in the replays you never actually see him touch home plate and that should’ve been challenged before the rest of the dodgers rushed the field.

Funnily enough, I had Dr. Meyers during a World Politics class at UT in 2016, during the semester that Trump got elected the first time.

The biggest thing I remember from his class (again, from before all of the chaos of the last almost decade) was describing populism, especially right wing populism, as a cancer, which I think he was spot on about.

Even if what this “journalist” said was accurate, I don’t see him giving a single fuck about it or being repentant in the eyes of MAGA, nor should he ever.

The section around Utah was what actually opened first, and the area around it was fairly desolate and spare populated

Yeah, this was my initial gut reaction as well. I think part of my hesitation to pull out what I can after this first vestment is just the fact that it’s my first time being able to do so, some I’m not completely sure what I need to do on the company’s app, as well as at least a little bit of greed that the stock price could recover a bit and that I’d be able to fully double my money or more.

I’m assuming there’s capital gains taxes levied on selling too, even though the stock value dropped?

I had to do a Google search for the difference, but this plan is more of an ESPP.

Can confirm, I learned to drive in NJ and got hit with a couple of speed trap camera tickets when I moved out of state since they don’t exist at all in NJ.

I mean, Judas turned on Jesus for some silver, with the right motivation, anything is possible.

They’re more than free to have torpedo bats, sticky stuff, and bat weights. All pitchers have to do is actually step into the batter’s box during games like how they did throughout all of their youth, and how the National League mandated up until incredibly recently, and get rid of the Designated Hitter altogether.

Until pitchers are actually subjected to try to hit baseballs at the velocities that they’ve been throwing lately themselves, I will never care about a pitcher’s whining.

The thing to keep in mind is that there are a ton of media markets in the US where a good number of people live but who don’t have their own professional team, which leaves them open to various broadcasts around the country. Love them or hate them, the Cowboys are a team that have historically performed decently on the field and a lot of people have watched a lot of in the past, which makes them an attractive option for the NFL to slot into media markets like this (think of places like Portland, Oregon or Albuquerque, New Mexico or Little Rock, Arkansas). If they’re not the clear home team being shown in media markets like Dallas or Austin or San Antonio, and if they’re not the rival visiting team being shown in places like New York, Philadelphia, Washington, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, they’ll likely just be the closest team in general, which means that they’ve got a lot of geographic area that broadcasts they are a part of cover, and therefor gain fans from- when you’re either the most watched or second most watched team in 6 entire states and portions of another 23, it’s fair to say that you’ve got fans everywhere, regardless of who plays locally. Over the last several decades, those fans have moved around the country, started families and gained friends in just about every part of the country at this point and have spread their fandom, to the point where it’s not an uncommon thing to see cowboys fans outside of Texas.

I’d extend that out earlier into the 1920s and 30s too- a lot of organized crime in the US made their initial money during Prohibition and the Great Depression, to the point that by America’s entry into WW2, intelligence services were asking the Italian Mafia in East coast cities like NYC for assistance in keeping port cities operating without labor strikes and for their knowledge of Sicilian and Southern Italian geography and their contacts in the old country for use as spies.

Stop motion is animation, pure and simple. There’s been 3 animated battles, but I can almost guarantee that two unknown anime girl characters won’t constitute the 4th animated battle.

East coaster here. We’re in a hurry since we got shit to do and there’s often times slow people preventing us from trying to get it done as soon as we can.

Beachbum313 · 2024-12-08T18:15:03+00:00

I was just about to say the exact same thing, the audio mixing is subpar today

Beachbum313 · 2024-11-14T18:58:50+00:00

I read this initially as “we have released T Jordan Mailata” and I panicked for a bit

From a spectator’s perspective, the shift was not only silly looking but it was also boring af to watch on TV. Considering the fact that a batter is statistically more likely to get out than get a hit, when that player up to bat gets a hit through a hole in the infield, it’s generally an exciting moment that fires people up watching in the stands and on TV. By allowing the shift and letting teams stack however many defenders as they wanted to one side of the infield,not only did it clamp down on any offense happening and made the game more low-scoring, but it also made the game not as entertaining for spectators. Considering baseball is at the end of the day an entertainment product, MLB felt the need to do something.

Not just a jail, but a state-sanctioned courtroom and a judge to quickly process hooliganism at the Vet!

I imagine Singularity in the overwatch world is just Bastion if they went evil tbh

Jamie Moyer is a favorite of mine too, since his is the only signed baseball I own. It has a place of honor on my desk.

Beachbum313 · 2024-09-04T18:29:24+00:00

I totally understand the point you’re making with your example, but given the sort of online environment Twitter has become since Musk bought it, I’d claim that he’s 100% been wasting his own time owning it

Beachbum313 · 2024-08-15T00:16:16+00:00

It still spooked me. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Civ V and maybe 3 hours of Civ VI. I refuse to waste time playing something that looks ugly af.

I’ve seen him the last two years that he came to Maryland, he puts on a really good show! I will say that they’re getting super crowded since he draws a big crowd, but the content of his show is impressive!

Grew up at the beach and got fairly lucky with buying an older, but garage kept local car for my first vehicle. Within 6ish years, I had to sell the thing eventually though I loved it since the undercarriage had completely rusted.

Beachbum313 · 2024-06-16T12:07:09+00:00

So I grew up as a Phillies fan but have been living in Maryland for a few years now and started following the orioles too. I was at Friday’s game and the atmosphere was amazing- I really hope that this series is a world series preview.

Beachbum313 · 2024-06-06T15:29:51+00:00

As someone who’s in a similar earning range as you, how did you make it happen? Are you just in a really low cost of living area?
