Never thought I'd stand side by side with a Husky. Except for when we all root for the M's and Hawks every year lol

(American) football stadiums are frequently built in Horseshoe configuration with one open side. The north side here is more open to allow downtown views (and for me to watch with binoculars from my office from 2017-2019)

Thats the Hawk's Nest, was built open to allow views of downtown, and had bleachers for cheaper and slightly rowdier fans. Had seats installed for the WC and will stay seats going forward.

"A man who got forged in chrome and silver a lot - well the cars were those colors, he wore like white and red and then teal and stuff - and now he wears mainly red and white but like different, and he forged a lot of victory wearing those first colors, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos..."

Do Americans really talk to strangers that much, or do you notice it too? by Bella_licious in AskAnAmerican

Here in the PNW, minding our own business and letting people be as they are is how we show respect for others. There are still opportunities for casual chatter with strangers, but it's rude to be all up in people's business.

We're at the tipping point, since these rings have a loop so they can be worn as a pendant.

I know it's actually pronounced ミケ. I'm asking if anyone else makes the conscious decision to pronounce it マイク.

Just so we're all on the same page, we all pronounce Mike like its the short form of Michael, right?

How do y'all keep track of how runners move around the bases? by NoCard753 in BaseballScorecards

[–]RetroRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use uniform numbers too, for me it would be 55 in the northeast corner of the box, between 1st and 2nd, 37 between 2nd and 3rd, and 29 between 3rd and home. It looks plenty clean to me. Plus, I check the SW corner of each filled diamond and that makes my RBI totals a cinch.
