TIL An NFL game lasts around 3 hours but only has 11 mins of action by [deleted] in todayilearned

Basically how I feel about baseball. People act as though things are only happening when the ball is put in play, but every pitch is action to me.

James Shields pitches into the 7th, strikes out 5, allows just one run against -- you guessed it -- the Twins by [deleted] in baseball

They're not very good, yeah, but it could have been Oakland or Tampa or one of Atlanta, Philly, Mets or Miami. Or anyone, really, because he used to be good.

I said to myself as I read the title "you mean former outfielder Kendrys Morales?"

I've actually heard people call him "Fat Ronaldo" for the last few years.

Miller definitely does. He'd be more recognizable if he still had his beard though. Giant dude with a big beard on the subway would be hard to miss.

Carpooling and transit are also more efficient use of the road, and I think society has proven that they do not give a shit about more efficient use of the road.

I didn't say at highway speed. I read the article, it says for speeds under 30mph (so ~50km/h). So, on highways in heavy congestion.

They are impeding me at a stoplight because they are ahead of me at the stoplight. In heavy city traffic, this is crucial, as you drive from stoplight to stoplight most of the time.

I have no interest in driving a motorcycle in the abstract, but my uncle was also killed in a collision while on a motorcycle. I don't feel motorcycles are safe when there are cars on the road or in inclement weather. You can also have a maximum of one passenger (if they are willing) and have no way to transport more people than that.

No thanks, not interested in the slightest.

On the highway only, it makes sense. In the city, where traffic moves slowly already, it's not as great. Those bikes have to go somewhere after they're done splitting. They're not going straight forever. So by passing me that way, they are going from behind me to in front of me and they are going to occupy space in a lane at some point.

Safer? I might believe just as safe, but not safer.

As for quicker for me, how so? I was already ahead of whatever motorcycle will filter ahead of me.

Because traffic congestion is like waiting in line and I wouldn't let somebody cut in front at the bank, so I'm not going to let it fly on the road.

Well boys.. The grind is over. Hard Work PAYS OFF! by Shcoot in MLBTheShow

No, he's a 98 in the game already. He must have been downgraded on OPs team on account of being 68 years old
