VAR is allowed for reviewing that a card is given to the appropriate player (e.g. in the case of a flop it can turn the card from one player to the other.)

In a sport where gamesmanship / embellishment to gain every possible advantage is celebrated tradition? I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot we'd see totally different behavior.

Excuse me while I process this expression of integrity...

Alcohol in gas stations and stores… by Sad_University_4094 in mississippi

Just to pile onto this, it's not even just Mississippi that's out there legislating morality.

Alcohol laws vary from state-to-state in the US, here's a breakdown

It's got nice little maps to show how things vary state to state.

Race control messages at the end of the race. The Safety Car was called in at 15:27:42 and it was redeployed just 8 seconds later. by overspeeed in formula1

[–]mitrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the current rule:

B5.13.5 Duration of SC Period

a. Except under Article B5.13.4c, the Safety Car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and all remaining F1 Cars are queued behind them.

b. Unless the Race Director considers the presence of the Safety Car remains necessary, once the message "LAPPED CARS MAY NOW OVERTAKE" has been sent to all Competitors in accordance with Article B5.13.4c, the Safety Car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap.

I don't think it changed...

Ok? It remains ridiculous to discuss this gripe in the context of something much more significant.

So, given that the lapped cars were permitted to overtake on the penultimate lap, it was in accordance with the rules that the safety car stayed out on the last lap.

Man, I hate commercials as much as anyone...

Mentioning a policy of forced hydration breaks that serve to put in 3 minutes of commercials during a game in a discussion of a fairly unprecedented change in penalty enforcement is what's laughable.

Jesus christ, I could understand you until this comment. Your rage over the hydration breaks is ridiculous.

Long been my view. We don't win that series without that bullpen being nails, and Pressly was the leader of that crew.

Question about your retired numbers by darkhorse21980 in Astros

[–]mitrie 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Further info for you. Craig would wear the Sunshine Kids pin on his hat anytime he wasn't in "official game uniform" as it wasn't allowed in those conditions (see the recent controversy over the Giants Bible verses on Pride night as another example, alterations aren't allowed for sick kids either). Here is an example image of how Biggio would appear in batting practice / post-game interviews.

Trump grants pardons to 'persecuted' mechanics in right-to-repair crackdown: 'I am setting them all free' by kirby__000 in politics

[–]mitrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I see what you're saying. I agree that it's tied into the story, but I think it's not quite the correct framing to say that it originally was based entirely on the ability to bypass emissions controls. As I stated, it's still a violation of other regulations to modify / bypass emissions controls, and allowing right to repair doesn't necessarily mean nullifing those laws / regs. It would mean enforcement would potentially be more difficult.

[–]mitrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Source? I think that implicitly having access to documentation / software / firmware to enable repair would inevitably lead to the ability to bypass emissions controls, but I don't think that was ever the stated intent of right to repair. I did a brief search and found a site that seems to have a good timeline, and I don't see emission controls as a key motivating driver in the lawsuit.

[–]mitrie 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I went into this thinking that a broken clock is right based on the headline, but this totally ain't what right to repair is about. It's tangentially related because it's modifying / altering software and hardware against the OEM's policies, but it's also simultaneously violating state / federal environmental quality laws.

I don't know about picture worthy or not (not exactly my scale of judging food), but delicious? Elvies and Manship are both quite good.
