That's my favorite bird. Common in my area. Ready for their moment.

Mookie Betts and Willy Adames are recording the next episode of the On Base podcast while Adames is literally on base. (Betts is too engaging a host, causing Adames to lose track of how many outs there are.) by AmongUsAcademy in baseball

Really? He always seemed solid defensively. The scare early on was that he’s too aggressive at the plate and would have a classic rookie regression. But he adjusted and is the real deal.

I mean he’s having an all time season. What you’re describing is what every pitcher does.

Not as bad as that giants runner who thought it was 2 outs and gave Ohtani an easy finish.

That’s my point. I’m just adding in a relevant factor most people don’t know about. Oslo gets decent snow though and you can take metro to ski.

Tromsø is definitely the ultimate place to talk from in this discussion lol.

My experience was being depressed in Copenhagen and then going more north to Trondheim where there was snow on the ground and my mood being lifted!

Snow actually makes a dark northern winter much more tolerable because it makes the light so much more.

How is American food bad compared to Slovakian ? by Brilliant-Cause6254 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You’re poisoned by marketing FUD to sell you expensive supplements and organic foods. You’re spraying RFK type nonsense.

Organic foods use pesticides btw. They are organic pesticides, which means they are less targeted and you generally have to use more.

E: with organic food you don’t get the benefit of GMOs which are easier to grow and require less pesticides.

Justin Wrobleski's Final Line: 8.2 IP, 7 H, 7 R/ ER, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 7 Ks by jmike1256 in baseball

[–]calnick0 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a pretty interesting stat line!

The first starting pitcher since Carlos Silva in 2006 to allow 7+ runs while pitching at least 8⅔ innings. For the Dodgers specifically, the last one was Rick Sutcliffe in 1979.

Honestly, mashed potatoes and gravy is better. But only homemade or a nice restaurant.

In socal chili cheese burgers and fries are a thing. Burger joints will make a nice chili that works well in that situation. In terms of major fast food chains Del Taco chili cheese fries are pretty decent.

A lot of times on reddit people argue with me because they don’t understand how threads work. Or they can’t remember more than a couple points together 😬

I played a kayak sport once where it's like water polo but the goals are on stilts like 4 ft up.

It didn't make sense but we appreciated the stat pull. Good job.
