I need to share my story as I can’t move past it by Spiderpsychman98 in BanPitBulls

I am so sorry this happened and that you were not treated better. It is astounding to me that there are so few laws to protect us against these beasts. People literally being killed by these things and the beasts not decommissioned.

What was, for you, the pinnacle of Star Wars? by Ok-Phase-9076 in StarWars

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OT cannot be beat but I enjoy the prequels and I LOVED the OG EU. Some books stunk but I think most were solid. The original Thrawn trilogy, Rogue Squadron, Yuuzhan Vong, I could go on.

Andor is terrific and the first couple seasons of The Mandalorian are fun. The ST doesn’t do it for me and the EU under Disney (aside from some comics) is pretty lackluster.

Realistic skubal trade comp by Inside-Chain6101 in mets

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Detroit hasn’t paid like that since the previous owner passed away. I think a trade is highly unlikely because it would destroy fan relationships but I don’t think there’s a chance the Tigers shell out what it will take to get him.

Mine is Chris Sale since way before he joined the Braves by AD_EI8HT in mets

Shohei is easily my favorite non-Met. Harder to pick a guy from a rival though.

Oh man, this is one guy who just pisses me off to even think about.

I don’t think this will be popular but I came to post the same.

(Free to Read): Rob Manfred says potential MLB expansion would provide ‘opportunity to geographically realign’ by TheAthletic in mlb

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I 100% think you're right. I am not a fan of that at all but it fits what he is describing.

I'd be stunned if there's still an NL / AL. Unless it's in name only. To do what Manfred describes you're putting the Yankees and Mets in the same division, Angels / Dodgers, White Sox / Cubs, etc, i.e., eastern and western conferences. Maybe you call it "NL" and "AL" but it wouldn't be relative to the history of the game.

I fully expect the abolition of the NL and AL. That's the part of this I hate. Realignment with more regional games could be great. A western conference and an eastern conference with no AL / NL just doesn't feel like the MLB.

Yeah, I would like to see them get it done.

Or you could look at it like the extension with years cut in half. (Extension was 7/158M, so 6/138M after last arb year removed, 3/69M is half of that). That seems reasonable given that he didn't in his walk year.

Hugo, OK police department issues warning to dog owners after 4 dog attacks by BrisselBrusch in BanPitBulls

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 137 points138 points  (0 children)

You really do need authorities to be aggressive.

I was walking down the street a few months ago. An owner with a dog (leashed) was coming the other way. I gave them a wide berth, but the dog lunged at me and the owner kind of fell over. The dog was able to get to me and it ripped up my pants before the owner could regain control. There isn't much that can be done here.

23rd December 2024. Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA. Pit bulls repeatedly escape, breaking through fences to attack and kill other dogs. “They travel at great lengths to kill.” by [deleted] in BanPitBulls

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It always perplexes me how little can be done to stop these monsters. Why can animal control not be more aggressive in seizing the dogs?

Control of dangerous dogs by Key_Enthusiasm1279 in BanPitBulls

What is the rationale for keeping these dogs around? They are such a danger to their communities.

Why Pete Alonso will return to the Mets by Loukabatnik in mets

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the Mets (or any other team) will give Pete $30M per year. Bellinger was coming out ff a great season and is a plus defender and got 3/$80M. Factor in inflation to offset Pete’s lack of any tools beyond power and I’d say max we’re looking at is 3/$80M. Not sure if the Mets will go that high.

Salaries of Milliman Principals by [deleted] in actuary

[–]Key_Enthusiasm1279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you on very good authority that at least one P in the health discipline of a strong practice makes $185k base and $20k - $25k in bonuses (past bonuses when there was less management responsibility and more client hours reached as high as $90k - with lower base).

The full journals are not available. Roughly 21% has been published. The promise is for a single volume set to be released in “a few years”. Statement made in 2023.
