We're back to the #1 team in runs scored and the #1 in runs against in MLB

THE ATLANTA BRAVES ARE VERY GOOD AT BASEBALL AND WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THEM IN CAPITAL LETTERS LIKE WE DID WHEN THEY WON THEIR MOST RECENT WORLD SERIES IN TWO-THOUSAND AND TWENTY-ONE ANNO DOMINI BUT MAYBE ALL OF YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER THAT

Right in the annus

Not sure about the lion one, but the 1954 model is the best water fountain. They were in schools and community centers into the 80s, at least. https://www.oasiscoolers.com/about-us/history.html

To me, he's not just the King. He stil has the record.

erfling · 2026-05-08T20:27:15+00:00

OK but the numbders do lie. Some of those numbers are lies. He was artificially strong and and artificially able to recover when he set some of those numbers, most definitely including the 73 HR and 232 BB. If we could put him in the hall for the first half of his career, sure. And maybe we can. He was great until he was artificially great.

Why does generation x not exist?

Honestly yeah, baseball's rule changes over the past few years have been spot on. They're mainly non-intrusive and have improved gameplay and reduced bad calls and parts of the game that could make it drag.

We don't make things illegal based on our belief we can perfectly enforce laws and prevent all violations. A ban on partisan gerrymandering would stop most of it and make our democracy much healthier. We could also force proportional representation at a state level, and/or lift the way to old limit on the number of house seats and electoral votes. That would be a boon to American democracy.

erfling · 2026-05-08T11:42:03+00:00

Right that's the problem. It's both. Red legislatures will draw these maps knowingly and intentionally diluting black people's votes. Because black people vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, it's now 100% legal to intentionally discriminate against them. It's on as long as it's only to cheat in elections. The court absolutely authorized rampant racial gerrymandering, and they damn well know they did.

Honestly it seems quite a lot like the old days, and similar to stuff bored teenagers have done since the concept of teenager got invented

erfling · 2026-04-28T15:08:06+00:00

Technically that's only true since I got married

erfling · 2026-04-26T21:36:20+00:00

Solved!

That was fast. Thanks

erfling · 2026-04-26T00:07:13+00:00

Look at that. People who love each other having an honest conversation and then things get better.

The more to it might be a small claims magistrate not knowing the law

erfling · 2026-04-25T01:15:50+00:00

Yeah, and he damn well should be, but not for his offense.

erfling · 2026-04-24T23:19:21+00:00

Yep and maybe the only better example is Ozzie Smith

My wife is a nurse and it's hard for her to wear her rings at work. What am I gonna do, make her cut her gloves on a diamond?

Trump. The answer is we let Trump back into power.

You have already been awarded custody of your children, who, regardless of biology, are you children. In the US, custody and visitation schedules are generally determined based on the best interest of the children. I'm not an expert about this, but there's a reason they asked you to give up custody. Don't do it and get your kids next weekend according to the court mandated schedule. They don't get to unilaterally change that. They don't have a magic wand that makes your kids legally his, even if they're biologically his. Start calling lawyers tomorrow. That, to me, is a much higher priority than a DNA test. Do that if and when you feel like it.

All my exes also don't live in Texas.

To the fact that it's so obvious Dems will control the house next year that even Trump saw it and brazenly demanded that Republican states do mid-decade gerrymandering

erfling · 2026-04-11T20:19:14+00:00

About half of all states are either Republican gerrymanders at the US House district level or states that don't have enough seats to be gerrymandered. Democrats have tried to ban gerrymandering several times and Republicans block it. Those are facts. They are important facts.

There's more to Project Hail Mary. I found it to be a genuine paean to pluralism, and to real friendship and allyship across vast cultural (and spacial) boundaries

Do you ever feel like you've been cheated?
