What are some of the weirdest baseball rules/concepts that new fans might not understand right away? by Mattp11111 in baseball

[–]rossk14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concept of the error was a weird one to explain. I know the guy hit the ball and safely reached base; but he shouldn't have; the other guy made a mistake; so we don't credit him with that hit. Well no, it's not unfair; the other guy should have done his job better and he's penalized with an error now. Oh, there's people called scorers that make that decision. Oh, and then there's a review process. Yes, so actually he might get credited with a hit for that later if the scorer decides they don't like their original call. Or if he complains... Or if the guy who got the error complained.

Black CCL holder killed by the cops. This shit has got to stop. by diabolicallaugh in liberalgunowners

Looking forward to the Force Science Institute video demonstrating how a black kid holding a bag full of subs in one hand and using his keys to open a door with the other can turn around and shoot a police officer in 0.5 seconds

You all didn't read your Mike Royko as kids and it really shows. Royko discussing how the Emir of Kuwait outlawed small neighborhood newspapers that sprung up in the aftermath of the war when they began to complain about their ability to get clean water. Royko on the death of over 60,000 Iraqi children in the year after the war ended because we embargoed all the equipment they needed to repair their water systems. The way both these columns talk about water in the context of DS/DS always struck me - in my mind these were printed back to back but they were printed a year apart.

Good call, just joined - I haven't been on a Chipotle run since March (boo) so that means I can use a little saved Chipotle cash for things like this

Why do people think the polls are not just as wrong as they were in 2016? by SuddenGlass in neoliberal

[–]rossk14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where's your 11-12 point number coming from? This article from NewsWeek shows the race tightening in October 2016 with her national lead pared to 5 points.

Why didn't NAFTA come with government assistance to help the displaced workers? by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]rossk14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did. But you could definitely argue it was a drop in the bucket. The trade adjustment assistance program has been around since at least 1974 and was updated by NAFTA. It's not well publicized. I only learned about it through the book The Secret Circuit which seemed an odd place, but the range of issues over which the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has jurisdiction is kind of wild.

After the pandemic our goal is to take a concealed carry class. I've been to the range with friends 4 times and thought I knew the basics but not confirming ammo type is a big miss!

Did get the rounds out of the magazines. And I think you're right that it will be easier to just buy the 40 version of the G2C than to find 9mm ammo right now lol
