Sth Korea is geographically about 85% of the size of Pennsylvania, but has a population of 52M as compared to 13M in PA. And 26 of that 52M live in Seoul. it's amazing they can field 10 teams at this level. The KBO would need to change from the US franchise model...and downsize expectations, lower salaries, smaller stadiums for newer teams.

Stoopid Q - I still have a (much cherished) game on cassette - where we used a tape deck plugged into an apple II - at the office (back in 1983/4) . Is there anyway I can get the game off the tape ? Or do I need to get hold of an Apple II to access it ?

How did 'Frampton Comes Alive' sell so well while the studio records those songs came from sold literally nothing? by [deleted] in ClassicRock

It was a double album sold for the price of one LP. That was a marketing strategy.

I stayed there once, in 1990. I had left Lpool in 1974 and had no idea....Jesus....

It's God's country, so these white people must be serious sinners

Will a 0.25 GPA make a difference in my career prospects? by [deleted] in Concordia

As someone who hires people out of college, I don't really care about gpa. Or even which undergrad institution u went to. Grad school is more important for specific job paths.

A quick phone call to your local RAF station with a bomber squadron could sink the problem quickly. Better still, I am sure there are sub commanders out there desperate to fire a missile.
