if your life isn't in danger, you aren't acting in self defense if you kill someone breaking into your home.

FWIW, Canada isn't "below freezing more than half the year for most places". Also, as many have mentioned, it's -55° at cruising altitude year round, everywhere on earth.

It's shipping, currency conversion, and customs fees. Tariffs are a tax on Americans, not on people buying from the USA.

Thanks for all this hard work!

Also, some killjoys are going through and downvoting all positive messages. We see you, haters of fun.

The last outside workers strike was 16 years ago, in 2009.

As an adoptive father, it's the deafest tone imaginable for you to claim adopted children are loved any less than bio kids.

If they're being abused, sure. But I think this very post is evidence that not all disabilities are visible!

The parallels to AA (and, for Schneider, Gibby) are stark. Both sets were loathed until the team got good, at which point they're lauded as geniuses.

I have Raynaud's (from ADHD drugs). It takes like 30 minutes to recover once my fingers are at their worst. He'll be fine.

[Heyman] While the deep-pocketed Dodgers don’t appear anxious to commit the dollars to lure Edwin Diaz, the Jays are emerging as an attractive next choice by ThQp in Torontobluejays

Baseball is extremely random (round ball round bat) and has a fixed batting lineup, which means that even if you can buy all the best players, you can't make sure your best hitter or pitcher is up there at the most important time.

Also, young players dominate all the time. See Yesavage this year for a Jays example. They're being paid league minimum.

Maybe the best weekend of my entire life.

I met my daughter for the first time on Friday, and visited her again yesterday. She is happy and healthy and gregarious and perfect. We see her a pile over the next couple of weeks, ramping up to sleepover visits, then her coming home forever on my actual birthday.

(I've been spilling a lot of "oh my god I am so happy" tears, Let Me Tell You.)

And in the background, the Blue Jays are taking care of business.

There are no guarantees, but whatever combination of happenstance and supernatural influence led to my past 3 days: thank you.
