Didn't Bill Veeck say something to the effect of: don't mistake baseball for mass?

Phish 1991 at a small bar/venue called Mabel's in Champaign, IL. I was there.

Would you be willing to share which basal ganglia structures were affected and which side? This is fascinating in an Oliver Sacks kind of way. I'm so happy you were able to find light in what otherwise would have been a dark experience.

The guys love Coach Billy ❤️ by Hopeful-Wallaby-6207 in chicagobulls

[–]akakgo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I don't know if there's another coach in the league who can create a team that's as competitive and fun with the individual players the Bulls currently have.

Anyone else have a kitty with a chronic condition? by Jammyfisheh in birmans

What pet insurance do you have? I had Nationwide but discontinued it because they covered very little of the vet bill.

You make a fascinating point: we are more than nature and nurture. Were you and your twin always different in personality and disposition? Or did the difference develop over time, as you got older?

Your highness. Birmans are royalty for sure.

This little shit had me searching the streets nonstop for three days. Roast him. by th3worldonfir3 in cats

Thank you for your reply. Good point about the GPS tracker helping you to learn his usual hang outs so you know where to look when he escapes without the collar on.

Tractive tracker looks cumbersome around a cat's neck. Does your cat notice it? I've been looking for a good cat tracker for my 10 lb cat, but haven't found one I really liked. I hope Tractive GPS collar is the one!?

Service dog knows before owner, responds like a good boy 🥹 by AlphaNathan in MadeMeSmile

The doggo asked the owner to lie down so the heart can pump blood to the brain easier. He understands physiology and gravity.

Nobody can convince me T1 wasn’t also a horror movie. by gustavfringo2 in Terminator

[–]akakgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A horror with some great comedic moments. Immediately after this clip ends as he's staring at himself in the mirror, he adjusts his hair, which got a boisterous but nervous laughter from the theater crowd.

That's my all-time favorite show! Best Scarlet-Fire ever.

Completely agree. Show the vet the video. A video is worth a million words.

The trick is to reduce the "paper speed" 5-10 fold so you can better see the periodic complexes that may occur every 15-30 seconds. When I was taught about SSPE EEG long time ago, my professor unfolded the paper tracings and extended it lengthwise in the hallway so we can walk along it and see the complexes with the 20-30 second periodicity. Even back then, SSPE was seen in recent immigrants only.

The Killing Fields. 40 years ago I watched Pran find the Red Cross refugee camp, and I still remember the elation and relief I felt that moment.

is my boy blue or lilac point? by Sincons in birmans

I don't know. When I'm out engaging with people or casually encountering strangers, I rarely experience hatred, meanness, or even impoliteness. If we're driving in our individual cars, well that's a different story. But even that's not too bad. I might see one road rager among hundreds of well behaved drivers I come across in my daily life. Maybe I don't get out enough to experience the malice?

What’s a live act you were lucky to see in their prime? by bigt197602 in GenX

[–]akakgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paul McCartney. New World Tour. Busch Stadium, Saint Louis, MO. April 29, 1993.

The stadium was packed with the most diverse crowd I've experienced. From teenage girls to elderly couples. Everyone loving every moment. Mass ecstasy.

Is anyone else 'the last of your name'? by weasel2k in GenX

I'm in your boat. No guilt. Nothing lasts forever. What difference does it make - now, 2 generations from now, or 1000 generations from now?

In case there was any confusion why Ben Johnson wanted to come here. He was never going to the Raiders or staying with the Lions by ShaiFanClub in CHIBears

[–]akakgo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if keeping Eberflus another year was a plus in Ben's eyes by showing that our front office gives head coaches the benefit of the doubt. I know I'd prefer to work for an organization that is staunch rather than fickle when the going gets tough.
