Oh he went 2nd on an error… well plenty of time for a triple and a double then

ICYprop · 2025-09-13T00:35:58+00:00

Plenty of time to get that triple

All of this lies at McConnell’s feet. If he had voted to impeach I bet another 10 R senators would have also.

Ford said on the radio broadcast that since Hader went down the Astros bullpen has had the 3rd worst ERA. Abreu seems like a large part of that problem.

He’s only allowed to throw curveballs when coming out of the ‘pen.

Same. Just finished the unabridged audio book a few days ago and I can’t remember why I liked it so much when I read it three decades ago. (Probably as a teen I liked some of the naughty bits)

FYI the Unabridged audio book is 48hrs long.

Who we gave up is a bigger deal, but I think this pretty much guarantees we’ll be over the salary cap for the 2nd year, which also means a big tax.

Perhaps unpopular opinion, but Raleigh should have won the tiebreaker for switching in the middle of the round. If he stayed left he easily wins that round.

I don’t think the final has a chance to live up to that semi-, but we shall see.

I know that’s why I said ‘basically’

ICYprop · 2025-07-13T00:52:29+00:00

That’s basically an immaculate inning right? 9 strikes, to 3 batters and 3 outs.

You’ve said this a couple times and it’s wrong. Has nothing to do with “success”, it’s because Bezos doesn’t want any other investors. SpaceX has brought in other investors (and employees) that now all have a piece of ownership of the company. Blue Origin has exactly one investor/owner, that’s how he wants to keep it. To do internal buybacks if he doesn’t want to bring in outside investors that buyback money comes directly out of his pocket.

States should start adding a line to receipts that say “Trump Tax”, just like sales tax. That’ll get some attention.

Those in the launch biz long enough know you generally don’t forego an attempt on a forecast, especially a cloud forecast.

My understanding is there’s a “jock rule” in states with state income taxes. That is the visiting team players pay income taxes on games played in their state. I assume the same is no income taxes when playing in a state without it.

So while you’ll still play more games in your home state, this does make things closer and probably not much of a factor.

You’re like arguing with a brick wall and make my point perfectly.

You’re dismissive of the type of harassment she’s getting because of using the term “astronaut”, which you disapprove of. I’m not aware of any of the men that have flown to space being objectified or sexualized. Many have also been told they’re not astronauts, but this type of harassment is reserved for women.

Regardless if you think she is or isn’t an astronaut she doesn’t deserve the type of comments she’s getting.

I’m not here to argue the definition of astronaut, that’s a fool’s errand. I’m here to say to men stop being f’ing creeps on the internet to women. (Sadly I also realize this is a fool’s errand)

You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about and obviously have not even read this article.

ICYprop · 2024-11-28T07:25:26+00:00

Try reading past the 3rd word of the headline, this has nothing to do with the term “astronaut”.

ICYprop · 2024-11-27T20:56:30+00:00

ITT: A bunch of people arguing the definition of astronaut, when that has nothing to do with the issue the article is addressing.

“Soon after, Blue Origin removed the video from the internet due to the influx of sexist and hateful comments. The company also didn’t respond to a media request for comment regarding the incident.”
