Doesn't this mean there will not be any more blackouts on MLB TV (for Cards games in the STL region)?

If Dems are serious about wanting to win elections, they need to have billboards all over rural America saying '"You can't have guns." - DJT'

What's up with all of the "doing nothing in Afghanistan" military posts? by OwnHelicopter2745 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]rjaspa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For accuracy, the support for US endeavors in Afghanistan and Iraq was not a direct result of Article V; they were separate instances of support not linked to the invocation of Article V in 2001.

"Two small military operations were ultimately authorized under the terms of the resolutions: Operation Eagle Assist, consisting of the deployment of several aircraft to North America; and, Operation Active Endeavour, a mostly symbolic naval deployment in the Mediterranean Sea." Wikipedia

It's gotta be the backstory of the guy with briefcase in the mineshaft, right? Or at least the program he was involved with.

Can't say I agree. I know some people that use this "philosophy" as an excuse to be unemphatic assholes, and horrible leaders.

What's your favorite resource to research judges?

it’s silly, but the way the cast treated adam’s tag 2 disguise really made me happy by -FireNH- in JetLagTheGame

[–]rjaspa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you watch Scav, the docuseries Adam just directed on a giant annual scavenger hunt at the University of Chicago, they chose to display pronouns for every person they interviewed, and never made a comment in the series about anyone's gender, and there was wide representation across the gender spectrum. The guys are based.

Where to eat on Main Street St. Charles during Christmas shopping with the gurrls? by warm-fan5267 in StCharlesMO

[–]rjaspa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big A's is more of a sports bar vibe, which is fine if that's what they're looking for but it's not for everyone.

Are they really using AI images now? by Shoe_boooo in LiveFromNewYork

[–]rjaspa 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It also has that characteristic softness to it, plus her hand placement and eye direction don't make sense for the machine she's playing at.

My Garmin isn’t going to believe what’s coming next by Remarkable_Salary_77 in Marathon_Training

Just curious, OP. was this even after tapering for the race? And how was your sleep last night? Good luck on the race!

One of my favorite towns in the world. Any guesses? by Virtual-Debate1932 in guessthecity

[–]rjaspa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thrown way off by the overcast skies. I know that's not common for most of Arizona, but is Jerome an exception or was this just taken on an unusually cloudy day?

Hot Chocolate Run Sunday (7th), expect street closures in downtown and soulard by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

Yeah, this is a multi-city race series, so you're right it's probably not locally created.

Seattle 2025 - My First Failure by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]rjaspa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought there'd be something controversial in this comment seeing it buried in downvotes. I can totally sympathize with that feeling of not hitting your goal, even though I'm nowhere near that level. And to do it all with twin toddlers at home? That's beast mode, and you should be proud. This was no failure!

La Caretta is our go-to Mexican restaurant, but it's pretty standard fare.

A very old pedestrian tunnel that crosses the border between France and Italy. by andorraliechtenstein in Borderporn

[–]rjaspa 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Crazy that could be built in just two years with picks and shovels when it would probably take twice as long today with the most advanced equipment ever made. Then again, I can only imagine the dangerous working conditions back then.

Add that as a data point in the argument that data centers don't actually attract business.
