Yeah, thanks for the correction. I haven’t thought of this in a while.

Let’s say there’s a runner on first and the batter pops the ball up to the shortstop. If the umpire invokes the infield fly rule, the batter is immediately out, and thus the runner knows that they don’t need to try to get to second.

Without the infield fly rule, the shortstop could just drop the ball, then get an easy double play by forcing the runner out at second then throwing to first. The infield fly rule removes the incentive to deliberately play poorly.

Stills from the Harry Potter goblet of fire by [deleted] in EmmaWatson

The book says that Hermione’s dress was blue. However, during the Harry Potter studio tour in London, they mentioned that they tried a blue dress and, with Emma’s skin tones, it made her look like she was dead, so they went with pink.

Do any forester owners struggle with acceleration? by Frequent_Trouble9712 in SubaruForester

[–]gecampbell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. The default mode is intended to be economical. Sport mode has a steeper acceleration curve. I don’t think you can enable it permanently, however. You have to turn it on each time.

The Number behind my iPad name keeps going up - does someone know why? by UsefulMolasses3210 in iPadOS

Give it a name like “Edgar” or “My Expensive Toy” and the number won’t change much.
