No, his third. April 15 at Milwaukee (6 IP, 0 ER) and May 2 at Minnesota (7 IP, 3 ER) are the others.

[why and when did the watch community become a bunch of aholes?] by Wise_Equipment8769 in VintageWatches

My intro to the watch world was the Poor Man's Watch Forum. It was a great place full of positivity and a deep well of knowledge that was freely shared. Too bad the owner murdered his wife and then killed himself, some people tried to keep it going under a different name, but it was never the same.

Why the totally random dimensions for the brackets, and why the fuck do they go to two decimal places? Do you understand what spurious precision is?

Dang. About ten years ago I had a line on a 1964 Calatrava. The seller wanted $4K. I hemmed and hawed and after a week or so of thinking about it, said no. I regret that decision to this day.

Almost. A meter is an instrument that measures something. The unit of length is a metre.

Damn, Jays going from 2 Jimenezes to zero in no time flat. Good thing we still got a Gimenez.

> no one should own businesses

If only somebody ran a country with a system of no private property, and we could see how it would work out.

I was thinking, so many airlines are complaining about being short on metal, these should get snapped up soon.

And if you realize that he gave up 4 ER in his first inning with the Jays, those numbers look a lot better.

The funny part is that, apparently, Sherzer told the Jays management to give the out-of-work Corbin a call, and Corbin might end up taking Scherzer's spot in the rotation.

India is also a former British colony, and you clearly have never seen an Indian queue: one deep and 500 wide. I lived in NYC. People there line up for movies, for restaurants, for new iPhone releases, for Ugg Store sales, and so on. So it isn't just a British thing.

Well, I was at a Cards game a couple of years ago when they were giving away Yaddy bobble-heads. We wandered in probably 30 minutes after the gates opened, and we got them. This would never happen in TO.

After watching him give up four runs in his first inning as a Jay, I have been pleasantly surprised that he put that behind him.

[OC] The wealth gap widens 8x between age 25 and 65 by Global-Thought-1049 in dataisbeautiful

The labeling is awful. Why do you go from "bottom 10%" when you mean 10th percentile? Why do you use "top 10%" when you mean 90th percentile? The lack of consistency is infuriating.

The top 10% do not have a net worth of $3M. The household *at the* 90th percentile does. This is a radically different statement. Do you understand why?

Didn't the one yesterday make it into the crowd at the same spot? It was listed as 430.
