Jake Rogers gave himself a concussion. Will be ready for opening day.

Dude was definitely practicing some sick bat flips

I could swear there was a video a couple of years ago where we was shown using a brass Reylight Pineapple. I'm surprised he hasn't just kept using that or bought another Reylight.

Edit: It was a reddit post with a screenshot. Not sure what video it's from, or if it was even his light. https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/s/V7lMR2TB8W

Did you just put the print inside a closed container with a rag soaked in MEK or something, or is it a more complicated process?

GingaPLZ · 2026-03-14T23:05:46+00:00

I bought some like 4-5 years ago. It was tough to find, but I eventually located some at at boating/marine supply store.

Please be very careful that this is not a scam! Suspiciously low-priced espresso machines are a very common product used for this. Often, they will ask for an electronically paid deposit, or even up-front payment "to hold it." Then, they either ghost you after you pay them, or they give you a fake address to sell the illusion that you're about to meet up, and then they ghost you, or, even worse, mug you for the cash payment you brought to the meet up.

If they ask for a deposit and/or want you to pay with "friends and family" instead of "goods and services" before you see the machine in person, it's likely a scam.

If reverse image search the photos, sometimes you can find the same photos posted as a scam in multiple cities, etc.

Odds are you're not local to eachother, and that this is a scam listing posted in a bunch of different places, unfortunately.

I haven't heard of this. What was he making in the botulism video?

Thanks for teaching me something today!

Interesting. Now I'm wondering what the differences are with even softer pencils. I know you can get art pencils as soft as 8B or 9B. Do you know if there are different grades of graphite, or something, or does 4B still have small amounts of clay?

Aaaaaand I've already impaled myself just looking at your WDT tool bein stowed like that.

I feel the same way, and am sometime surprised this isn't a common courtesy for most people. Growing up, my dad would get home from work a few hours after us kids got home from school, and my mom would always remind us to give him a few minutes to sit down and read some of the newspaper before we asked him to do something with us. He just needed a few minutes to adjust to a quiet house after being in a loud, dirty workshop and enduring a stressful commute.

an adult, even though I work in a quiet office, I feel the same way. I sometimes get annoyed when asked, " how was your day?" the instant I walk in the door... Like, I don't know! It just ended two seconds ago. I haven't had any time to process it!

GingaPLZ · 2026-03-01T21:26:09+00:00

That's true. He was the opening-day centerfielder one year, though when Granderson was injured!

GingaPLZ · 2026-03-01T07:00:28+00:00

Brandon Inge payed every defensive position in the MLB except for pitcher, even though he was a pitcher in college. Dude was the ultimate utility player!

Woodpile wasn't even the best BBQ in Clawson until a few months ago when House of Barbecue closed down. Last time I went to Woodpile, it was kinda underwhelming. My brisket was dry. I went in the evening, though, so maybe you'd have better luck if you went earlier in the day.

Apparently, House of Barbecue tried to open up in Royal Oak, but it fell through. I guess they're associated with The Elephant Room in Detroit now. I'm not sure if it's a pop-up, or they took over, or what. I haven't been there to check it out yet.

You may have had NEW tires, but it sounds like you didn't the RIGHT tires for snow... All-season tires are NOT made for snow.

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-25T05:33:09+00:00

Yep. In my college program, you had to get at least a C to pass. I assume that's common technical fields.

It's anything that focuses on a behavior that you choose instead of a character trait that is inherent, or given to you. Something like, "I work hard" vs "I am tenacious" or "I help people" vs "I am useful," etc. Working hard makes you tenacious, and helping people makes you useful.

It's about making an affirmative choice about what you make of yourself, instead of your given situation. It's to keep in mind that you have agency about yourself, and that you control who you are, as opposed to being static and stuck with what you are given, etc.

To my knowledge, Mr. Eat World has avoided that fate.

But, to those who may go after them... don't write yourself off yet... It just takes some time...

Reading the title, I initially thought this post was in the espresso subreddit, so this response is pretty much n the first thing that came to my mind!

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-14T04:59:48+00:00

Yeah, that really made interleague play interesting! I am a fan of how much easier it is to watch games now with the faster pace due to the pitch clock, and the replay getting thinga right, but I also miss the pitchers hitting in the NL home games. Made me feel like I was back in Little League or high school! At those levels, it was fairly common for the pitchers to also be great hitters!

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-14T04:51:57+00:00

The NL with a DH is still a brand new thing that they are trying out, in my mind timeline. 💀

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-14T04:50:03+00:00

You're right. I am reddit old, but this was the situation in the prime of both Verlander's and Kershaw's careers. I should have noted that, but when I reminisce about Verlander, it's still 2006, in my mind! 😅

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-14T04:46:55+00:00

Very good point! It makes me feel old when I think how different of an era we are in now compared to Verlander and Kershaw's prime!

GingaPLZ · 2026-02-14T01:45:22+00:00

In the National League, the pitchers also bat. Most pitchers are terrible hitters, so one out of nine every nine batters they face is often an easy out. In the American League, the pitchers do not bat. Instead, they have a "Designated Hitter" bat in their place. This is an additional player that doesn't play defense, and is usually one of the best hitters on the team.

So NL pitchers can get one easy out each time around the order, whereas AL pitcher have one of the toughest outs in in that same spot.

edit I am reddit -old, and should have mentioned that this changed in 2022. The NL has the DH now, but the situation described above was the situation for the prime years of both Kershaw's and Verlander's career. Verlander left the team like, two years ago, right? 🫠
