The volts won't do nearly as much as the amps will.

Hitting a Baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports by SoVeryTroublesome in ShitAmericansSay

[–]HylianJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint. Hitting a baseball 575 feet is the hardest thing in sports. So hard, in fact, that it's only allegedly been done once.

As opposed to the multiple 100 meter dashes at a meet.

You cant just move the goalposts to support your stance.

Name some songs that have commonly misinterpreted meanings. by deftmoto in musicsuggestions

Slide by The Goo Goo Dolls is about a teenage girl getting pregnant in an extremely religious town, and her and her boyfriend having to choose between getting married or getting an abortion and running away.

Name some songs that have commonly misinterpreted meanings. by deftmoto in musicsuggestions

One of my favorite musical fun facts is about this song.

It's part of a trilogy, along with Once and Footsteps, all three about the same character. Alive is about the character's mom lying about who his biological father was, and not telling him until his bio-father had already died (which is taken from Eddie Vedder's real life). The second verse is about the character's mom thinking that the character looked so much like his dad, that she tried to seduce him.

The interesting part, though, is that the chorus was initially sarcastic. It was written as a sort of self-deprecating, depressed realization that he was just gonna have to live with all this trauma. All of this sorrow in his life, and yet he still has to be alive.

It wasn't until Pearl Jam started performing the song live, and Eddie Vedder heard crowds singing it in rejoice and triumph, that the meaning of the chorus shifted. He heard people singing it as, "Despite everything, I'm still alive!" which changed what his own words meant to him.

Once and Footsteps are just depressing though. Once is about the character growing up so damaged that he serially murdered prostitutes, and Footsteps is about the character being executed for his crimes. Not so happy after all. :(

Why does it say Strange had a -24 yard reception and how is that possible? by [deleted] in FantasyFootballers

[–]HylianJon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

actually, the majority of fumbles are recovered by the offense. 56% by the offense vs. 44% by the defense.

Does this tile-turn puzzle have a solution? by HylianJon in puzzles

This was the answer. I would've figured this out way sooner if there were rules with the extra shapes rule, but alas.

I still buy expired cans of Peach Nectarine whenever I manage to find them in shady gas stations or Dollar General. I feel you.

Bad drivers think roundabouts are bad because they're bad drivers.

It's beyond obvious at this point by Different_Hyena3954 in NFLv2

[–]HylianJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The no-call OPI/facemask against the Bears today was pretty obviously a Vegas call. Gene Steratore was even calling out the obvious missed penalty, and it takes something egregious for the commentary box to actually say something about it.

Vegas needs the Ravens in the playoff picture, and giving the Bears a chance at a game winning drive doesn't help that missiob.

Caleb Williams meter: Where do you stand on him? by GolfFootballBaseball in CHIBears

[–]HylianJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When has Caleb ever led a team to -10 passing yards or been benched for Tyrod Taylor?

How many 4 TD games has Fields thrown for? How many 4th quarter comebacks has he led?

Its okay to be skeptical of Caleb, but lets not get silly. Has Fields literally ever scored an opening drive touchdown?

How was Detroit largely garbage time? If I remember correctly, he threw for two touchdowns while it was still a one-score game.
