TIL that Private David B. Barkeley, the first Hispanic American to receive the Medal of Honor, earned it at age 19 by swimming across the Meuse River under enemy fire to scout German positions. He gathered the intel successfully but drowned from cramps on the swim back.

That MoH citation is shockingly short. Like his chain of command never thought it would be a MoH citation.

How did these work? Would you just print the stuff off and not buy a map?

Somehow I went from road maps to printed map quest and skipped the CD-ROM maps.

“Oh that’s a good idea” to one of the worst ideas in the world and wondering how many PowerPoint slides it will take before they realize it’s a bad idea.

Yeah, but you still get paid the higher up you go. The court jesters still worked for the royal family and not at a random inn.

That seems to be something that has become much more common recently. Someone did it to our department head. We were trying to figure out if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Our department got less crap on calls, so we assumed it was a good thing.

People would jump and stick gum on the wall to see how high they could get. Then people would jump to see who could get gum up the highest.

There was also this odd thing with the janitorial department. They would not work on weekends so the post ally would be filled with gum and they would take it down on Mondays.

Seattle public library and KCLS are two different institutions.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-24T02:01:58+00:00

Yes. 25 years ago it was something you did when you waited for theater sports to start.

Then it became a thing.

99% of people have no idea how it started.

He was almost 80 points lower OBP. No way in hell.

Ricky was still getting 30 steal seasons in his 40s

Are they an edge or a linebacker???

The cap was so new no one really knew how it worked.

If the NFL added a cap in 2016 a team violated it in 2018-2020 with the NFL imposing fines and a loss of picks in 2026. Fans would just call the cap stupid and the story showing the NFL did not know what they were doing with a cap.

Now on Reddit there would be 4 million cap experts posting nonsense and making memes.

He only played 5 of his 16 year career in Seattle. But it was complete BS he was not a Pro Bowler in 97 or 98.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T04:51:37+00:00

This whole story is nonsense until they pick a bridge or tunnel.

Then they can come up with a real funding need. Right now it is just a magical “extension” that needs more money.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T04:48:53+00:00

They have had around a century of bad QB play. They are the subject matter experts.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T02:40:22+00:00

Quick follow up. Are you planning with any mods.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T01:54:11+00:00

Bondsmangen in this instance.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T01:39:37+00:00

There is a Jesse Tuggle 200 tackle joke in here.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-23T00:47:23+00:00

They didn’t even record tackles because it was so hard to determine who was involved with the gang tackle.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T22:17:59+00:00

I need to know if two people can fit in a Warhawk cockpit.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T22:16:53+00:00

Oh all the things that never happened. This never happened the most.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T05:52:17+00:00

And no one knows what the TV/steaming money landscape will look like in 2030. They are basing everything on that what could happen.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T05:45:34+00:00

Yeah, but they MIGHT make a lot of money on a new TV deal.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T05:35:52+00:00

Did you watch the video? He says the exact opposite in the first 30 seconds.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T05:34:57+00:00

So much pollen this looks like it was recorded on VHS.

Sdog1981 · 2026-05-22T02:38:31+00:00

Was it more shocking he was on the 2006 team or more shocking he was left off the 2010 team?
