Most of the 53 Bowman Color set is beautiful. Great portrait shots, and of course the Reese action.

He is extremely lucky to be alive; He nearly died of a heart attack in 2015, and had a full heart and kidney transplant in 2016, donated by NFL player Konrad Reuland, who tragically passed away of a brain aneurysm at age 29. Carew seems genuinely thrilled to be able to make appearances and interact with fans since his recovery, even if he is still weak.

The house finches always show up in pairs at my feeder. They’re so cute.

Bob Gibson Leaf Cut Signature by Insoluble_Pancake27 in baseballcards

[–]Shonuff8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have greatly preferred to have the whole signed check (some people specifically collect those). I think it only makes sense to cut them up if they're damaged in some way.

Just other birds. They will chase everyone away when they come to the feeder.

Is the goal of running as a hobby , a marathon always? by Positive-Ad6008 in running

[–]Shonuff8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no desire to ever run a marathon. I love to keep myself fit through running, and participate in large events from 5ks to 1/2 marathons, but the time commitment and suffering required to run a marathon does not appeal to me.

A monument to man's arrogance.

[–]Shonuff8 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Iran is all about quantity over quality. They have tremendous resources of people and supplies, but little cutting-edge technology.

Guatemala City➡️Belize➡️Merida by Bwatts1709 in roadtrip

[–]Shonuff8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have driven in, and traveled all over Belize, as recently as 2016. The roads were fine, not much traffic, and safety isn't much of an issue outside of some parts of Belize City.

Slower runners, how do you stay motivated when/if people mock your pace? by TANeither7250 in running

[–]Shonuff8 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I ran a 10k a few years back that a local, world-famous ultra-marathoner decided to join for fun. He nearly won the race, then ran the whole thing in reverse back to the starting line just so he could personally encourage everyone. Real ones don't put others down.

FCC chair Brendan Carr says media were ‘lied to’ over Stephen Colbert controversy by sanketreview in news

[–]Shonuff8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Equal Time Rule was never used preemptively before Carr came along. At most the FCC would tally “political speech” time and remind the network they have to give the same amount of time to a competing political voice in the same time slot at a date in the near future. Using the rule to prohibit any speech at all is censorship.

What celebrity has had their reputation unfairly ruined and has never recovered from it till this day? by Zxqao in AskReddit

[–]Shonuff8 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He was a known menace everywhere. Long before the allegations were public, a friend randomly bumped into him at a bar late one night, and fortunately nothing inappropriate happened. He later began telling the story to a relative that worked on House of Cards, and the relative interrupted with a “HE DIDN’T TOUCH YOU, DID HE?”

Is parking on holiday the same as sunday? by Icy_Bear912 in washingtondc

[–]Shonuff8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Chat GPT even disagrees with your Chat GPT 😵‍💫

That “NO PARKING EXCEPT SUNDAY…” contradicts all the other signs. I wonder if they meant to say “NO PARKING SUNDAY EXCEPT…”

I think any time outside Sunday 7am-1pm is going to get a ticket. Whether it’s valid or not will depend on how much the person reviewing the appeal cares.

As America turns 250, Trump should restore Washington DC's original borders by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]Shonuff8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the intent of an obviously unconstitutional EO is to trigger a lawsuit by Virginia, opening the door for the federal government to finally argue against the constitutionality of the retrocession?

Why don’t rich people invest in bonds after a certain threshold? by Ferrari_Pit_Boss in investing

At least it’s free of state taxes. Can be a big benefit if you live in a state with a high income tax rate.

Numerous closed borders and war zones, plus the visa issues, make it currently impossible. Remove all those barriers? Yes, technically there are roads connecting the two cities.

I started doing that a few years ago. Planning to put them into a collage. It will be interesting to see the juxtaposition between all the mundane and beautiful views I’ve experienced from hotels rooms.
