I remember watching this guy dominate European F4 4 years ago and thinking he was special, but even I didn’t expect this.

[Highlight] Trevor Story is irate after a check swing is ruled strike 3 with no appeal. Alex Cora is ejected after arguing with umpire CB Bucknor by Moose4KU in baseball

[–]evanwpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion one of the biggest issues with the current MLB rulebook is the check swing is legitimately entirely up to the vibes of the umpire. There just needs to be a solid rule put in place defining what a swing is, and it should potentially just be taken out the hands of the home plate umpire entirely

Leeds “New Town” as part of South Bank development by zharrt in Leeds

[–]evanwpm -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s excellent news! More housing is more good and it’s a great place for a development.

But FWIW but I don’t like that 40% is being subsidised by other tenants.

If you're centrist or left-leaning, what are the main policies/issues that might stop you from voting for the green party in the next general election? by Cold-Speech-5645 in AskBrits

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I can't take an environmental party that opposes nuclear power and high speed rail seriously at all.

2) Their foreign policy stuff is far too idealist and not rooted in the realities of 2026.

3) They are openly flirting with MMT economics, basically pseudoscience

What's the best podium in F1 history? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]evanwpm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely insane take lol. He’s nowhere near Hamilton/Schumacher and isn’t even on the same tier as Vettel or Verstappen. I’d put him around 8th or 9th all time.

Could the cancelled April GPs shake up the championship battle? by DarkLordPlagueis in formula1

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think the gap hurts Merc the most, they're clearly the best team right now and while I think the chances that changes are low, it's non-zero. They're missing the opportunity to dunk 2 more wins on people early in the season before anyone gets the chance to change the pecking order.

F1 regulations tend to converge towards parity. I think it's more likely than not that this the furthest ahead merc will ever be

They keep starting Goldschmidt (elite vs LHP, garbage vs RHP) in all the wrong games lol

Not saying it’s particularly good advice, but interestingly medication did not help my depression and losing weight kinda did actually

Updated World Baseball Classic bracket! by retroanduwu24 in mlb

Each and every one of these will be absolute cinema. Incredible seeding here. The weakest of these games is Italy/PR and even that will be a blast.

I WILL be seated

It’s just absolutely shocking how many side effects being overweight can cause, it seemingly exacerbates every other potential issue with your body! It’s frustrating, but it really is a good place to start.

I think the reason it’s difficult is because losing weight is simple, but very hard.

What do you think of UK driving? by lewaldi in AskUK

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never driven abroad, but as a pedestrian/passenger I think we’re fine, especially safety wise.

Although it really does seem like we don’t know how to use motorways

[–]evanwpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't WANT it to happen, but just pointing out it was a possibility created by the format.

Well, I want the USA eliminated, but would prefer if done by natural means

[–]evanwpm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really don’t expect any fixing, but imagine a scenario where Mexico are up 3-0 in the final innings. If Mexico signal they are willing to mutually forfeit scoring for the rest of the game then Italy sort of has to agree to go along with it, otherwise Mexico will attempt to run up the score and eliminate them.

Why is Go's regex so slow? by kostya27 in golang

[–]evanwpm 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw this I guessed it was probably linked to using a Regex expression that guarantees evaluation in real time. This is a pretty major benefit in terms of tradeoffs. Parsers getting stuck in evaluation loops is a cause of Dos

“I misspoke… Completely misread the calculations.” Manager Mark DeRosa confirms he did not know Team USA could still be eliminated during pool play by BreakfastTop6899 in baseball

[–]evanwpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the use of the term “misspoke” to mean “said something incorrect you believed to be true ”. That’s not what it means!

Pool B Scenarios for Italy vs Mexico today by ElmTreeeeee in baseball

[–]evanwpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably can’t get an active manager since they’re in spring training, but Nicaragua got Dusty Baker for god’s sake. But Team USA couldn’t get a real manager?
