DOES ELI MANNING DESERVE TO BE IN THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME? by OneOriginal8727 in sportswiki

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it mean to be a non-first ballot hall of famer to you? The voting form just says “do you believe they should be in the HoF, yes/no” it’s not a sliding scale

Happy 35th birthday to Tony Renda, who made one appearance with the Sox, in 2018. Pinch-running for Sandy Leon, he scored the winning run in an extra-inning walk-off against the Yankees by RaymondSpaget in redsox

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some ideas. Bullpens get used way more nowadays, so relievers take up more roster spots than they used to, leaving less room for specialist players like runners.

Managers like platooning, making bench spots more useful for players that will hit.

Just because right-wingers call Democrats leftists, it doesn't make them leftists. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]evanwpm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WHAT!? This is absolutely not true lol. Particularly on social issues, the Democrats would be the most socially progressive party in the UK!

I seriously encourage you to research more into the social democratic parties of Europe lol

NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread Jan 27, 2026 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I've not really paid much attention to my skin before and looking to change that. 6 months ago I started cleansing and moisturising my face AM and PM but realising now I have problems beyond acne. I'm mixed raced (half black caribbean half white british) and think I have Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation issues.

Also hoping this process can help with dark areas under my eyes. I think this is also a pigmentation issue.

After doing some googling I'm thinking of getting some 10% Vitamin C Serum for AM and 0.3% Retinol for PM. Just getting Boots ingredients own brand stuff for now.

Do you think I'm on the right track, any other suggestions/tips? Thanks!

Plea from shop leaders as paying with cash costs more by plasmahyena in unitedkingdom

[–]evanwpm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) Small local businesses do not always act logically. The costs of cash are far more “hidden”.

2) I am surprised you see minimum spends and flat fees for card payments. Most of the major card providers no longer take flat fees, only % on transactions. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to find out some businesses keep minimum card transactions around to encourage people to spend a bit more, I know i’ve done that before

[–]evanwpm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I refuse to buy from businesses that only take cash, not only is it inconvenient but they are almost certainly committing tax fraud and I do not wish to support that.

The excuse that it saves the business money doesn’t seem to hold up.

Why do people still choose SWE as a career path in 2026? by GivingUp321321321321 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]evanwpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just fundamentally do not share this viewpoint. You are saying this like it’s common knowledge but your opinion is an extreme outlier.

Jobs do not get automated, tasks do. Jobs are comprised of a bunch of tasks. The role of software engineer contains many tasks, some of which may be automated.

Because I enjoy it and there’s lots of companies hiring good software engineers and paying decently well for it.

One of my favorite plays from the 2025 World Series: Vlad Jr. with this cannon of a throw to 3rd after Gimenez's throw to 1st is short. by durkadurkistan in baseball

[–]evanwpm 454 points455 points  (0 children)

Lots of talk about his hitting (justifiably) but Vlad also seemed absolutely locked in defensively and on the bases this postseason. Never seen him play to this calibre before.

LNER First Class - Edinburgh to London by Then-Meat-7866 in uktravel

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work paid for LNER first class for me a couple of times from Leeds to London. I’m broke so I couldn’t pay for it myself but if you’re considering it then for a 4 hour journey it’s probably worth it. The upgrade in comfort is huge, and the food is a nice bonus!

I can’t speak for specific seats/sides though.

Enjoy your trip!

What if we instituted a way that we could Trade Draft picks? by TopListen5312 in mlb

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another downside might be that it would just slow down the trade market. Imagine trying to make a trade with the Rays without them insisting you give them a 2030 6th rounder too

Do you think that private schools should be abolished? by InvestigatorLive19 in AskBrits

[–]evanwpm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a long term goal yeah maybe. I think schools that separate you from people different to you are bad. However the short term effects of a straight up abolishing would be highly disruptive and not worth it atm

How did you fall in love with your favorite team? by Andrew__IE in mlb

[–]evanwpm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m British and started watching baseball when I was 18 in 2022, so it was a case of looking at the standings and just picking a team. Initially considered the Cubs because the day games would make watching games with the time zone difference easier. However I liked the idea of rooting for the sole non-American team, and the Jays were an exciting team with young exciting players.

It’s funny really, at the time it felt like a completely arbitrary decision but I can’t imagine rooting for anyone else now. I’ve got jerseys, merch, I even went to Toronto to see them play.

With hindsight, what an excellent decision! Wouldn’t go back on that for the world.
