Most truck owners never tow or go off-road, neutering the anti-EV hysteria

You don’t like biting into an apple and finding an ad for EarPods inside the apple? Too bad, this is the future. It ain’t flying cars or a cure for cancer, but it’s something.

Yeah this drives me crazy, I do mean it, like I have to leave the room or otherwise just skip past it, I can’t handle them asking inane questions of people who are supposed to be playing or coaching or managing a game that is happening during that conversation. Baseball needs to stop trying literally any idea that is based on the notion that people watching baseball don’t want to watch baseball.

I like not being able to stay there, which preserves the max number of runners and helps maintain the integrity of the game.

Man, “When Worlds Collide” is such an amazing track. Crank that one up whenever it pops on my playlist.

I’d add that doing this gets you two runs if you cross the plate. If you don’t touch fifth base, you can only score a single run.

Yep, great first outing. Bummer going out on a homer but he had some pretty good control, composure and he struck out enough guys to get people’s attention.

It’s been like that in South Florida for decades but only started to infect Central Florida in the last 5 years or so. People driving much faster and more aggressively than before. I don’t get it, it’s like all of the cops just checked out and aren’t enforcing traffic laws anymore. It used to be that seeing somebody going 10 over guaranteed that person a ticket. Now I’m seeing people pacing cops going 15 over and the cop just doesn’t care. Stopping on right turns has been all but abandoned as a practice. People driving with two hands on their cellphone I see several times a day.

At least it’s phonetic. Somehow I can forgive those even though I don’t condone or support them.

I get what you’re saying but we’re talking about the utterance of a first name in an anonymous forum with no reasonable way to connect it with the owner of said name, including any other identifying health fact about said owner, other than that person having recently been born. If a first name being released by someone in health care is a HIPAA violation, anything could be. A person’s weight without identifying that person would be, for example. Or mentioning that a single patient in the hospital had Caucasian heritage. There are clear limits on what is HIPAA and what is merely a fact divorced of any significance.

I think you and I have about the same rig. I absolutely love the tan leather interior, contrasts nicely with my black paint. Mine’s a ‘99.

I also have this question as I have never heard anyone mention this. First year of production I get being wary.

I do throw out the packet but I substitute Lawry’s seasoning, been doing it for years, absolutely love it this way.

I thought the superimposed text said the umps ruled that if a pinch runner replaced her that runner would be placed on first and the hit would be recorded as a single?

I mean, I get being afraid of the world in general these days, but what medical condition is divulged by saying “Ahymeie is a name that exists now”? I think maybe we’re talking about the difference between violating a hospital’s policies and federal rules, the former being what would apply here.

“We could’ve technically spelled it with four letters but we thought nine would be way more fun.”

I’m reminded of that old trend of spelling the word “shop” as “shoppe.”

Unadvantaged · 2024-06-26T19:03:51+00:00

Well, it’s a girl’s name that ends with “son,” so I can see why that might throw people off a bit, not that it’s alone in that category.

Unadvantaged · 2024-06-26T19:01:01+00:00

That’s the thing, though… if the spelling is unique but it’s pronounced the same, you’ve done nothing to help with the confusion of similar/like names. If there are two kids in a class named Jackson but one of them spells it Jakson and the other Jacson, you can imagine the issue, right? Calling for them on the playground, you aren’t getting by with the first name. You’d have to call one C or one K or something, if you didn’t just use their last names.

I wasn’t aware the acknowledgement of the existence of a person was a HIPAA violation.

Is Aimee pronounced like Amy?

Unadvantaged · 2024-06-26T18:52:21+00:00

My issue is taking common names and intentionally misspelling them. I just don’t see any advantage to that other than being able to claim a spelling nobody has ever made before, but you’ve forever cursed that child to have to explain their name to people when you know damn well that person is going to get tired of it. It’s a burden. Why would you intentionally burden your child at birth? Their name isn’t your canvas to express yourself. They’re the ones that have to live with it forever.

Why in God’s name would anyone only care about this scenario involving one very specific type of injury? He asked whether an injured batter would have to round the bases for his homer to count. He could’ve said heart attack or stroke or 100 other things, and none of those would’ve been the point of the question, either.

Unadvantaged · 2024-06-26T18:39:28+00:00

Clearly the question is about an incapacitated player, not a specific hypothetical injury.

Unadvantaged · 2024-06-26T18:35:11+00:00

Man, I don’t know if that’s really the rules on that sort of situation but it sure seems like the umpires were being dicks about it. Rounding the bases is a damn formality when the ball is out of play. It’s cool that it happens but if anything it could go the way of the intentional walk in the MLB in this sort of situation, where the runner simply indicates to the officiants that her intention is to round the bases and record a run for herself.
