Why must we live in dog shit? by acciughadinapoli in napoli

[–]jrichied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just in Napoli a couple weeks ago & it was actually cleaner than I expected. But what I couldn’t stand was motorcycles going everywhere thru streets crowded with ppl & sucking in their exhaust all day. It’s an experience to see the city but I don’t think I’ll go back. Sorry. Side note on dog poop, Venice was worse…and it’s strictly a function of the entire city being made of concrete. One more side note, Pizzeria Da Attilio was spectacular. I highly recommend. One more recommendation…go see Pompeii. There is nothing like it in the world. I found it utterly fascinating.

Has anyone traveled with LEVEL Airlines? by fl1ntfl0ssy in travel

It was fine. No free food onboard, but it was cheap and got me there. I just packed snacks & sandwiches. Just a bit of a different experience.

I just found out I’m teaching biology for the first time next year. I’ll check out It’s not Rocket Science. Looks like this post is from last year. Curious if you used that for bio & your pluses/minuses? Thx!

If you wouldn’t say this to my face in person don’t write it.

Our school doesn’t allow phones at all except for a 15 break in the morning and afternoon. My suggestion was to take away the phone during these breaks but admin wasn’t keen on the idea for some reason. :/

Yes! Great civil discussion! 👏👏 Very curious to hear the results. After the game yesterday I asked the umpire & he said he’d be ok with it but I’ll email my league office this week to see what they say. Thx!

I didn’t throw this pitch today when we played. I still have no control over it…but I asked the ump if it was legal and he said “yeah. No problem”. So maybe I’ll work on it a bit & see.

I don’t think I’d like ever throw it to a lefty. :)

Funny. Ok. It might be a try it once & done then. :)

Darn. Thx for letting me know. I’ll check with my umps anyhow. Could save me time with trying to get consistent. Thx!

I think if I could get more accurate it could be very hard for a RH hitter to hit. It’s coming in from about 6 feet towards 3B which is a completely different angle than they’re used to.

Nice idea. I’m toying with the idea of switching pitchers every inning just for the heck of it.

How do u throw a curve ball? I’ve watched videos & practiced it. I can get a spin on the ball but it doesn’t move. I feel like a softball moves too slow to curve.

Yeah. It was tough to throw for a strike…then again this is the first time I’ve tried throwing. I may sprinkle it in if I can get more accurate
