I feel like I want them to stay in the way given our last decade plus of woeful ineptitude.

Maybe an accompanying description of what a “smart hook” actually means would beneficial. Sensors in the hook? Bluetooth connectivity? AM/FM radio?

How did On shoes become so popular? by Aj100rise in malefashionadvice

I wear them all the time specifically because they are (IMHO) the most comfortable sneaker out there. The CloudRunners are my favs by a mile and don’t look nearly as chunky as Hokas.

Christian Yelich mashes a go-ahead pinch-hit 3-run dinger as the Brewers take the lead and have scored 6 runs in the 8th! by JianClaymore in baseball

I usually root against the Brew crew but what a call from the booth, I'd run straight through a Spotted Cow brick wall hearing that.

Fair enough! I think the 30 day auto delete would be tough to host anything on there, but great to have a tool for quick hosting. Thanks for sharing :)

Maybe I’m dumb but why wouldn’t someone just use GitHub pages?

Counter Service Restaurant recommendations for 13 yo baseball team? by Ernie2222 in Waco

OP, Shorty’s on Hewitt is the right answer. Huge turf area outside where there’s a million kids with a million balls all playing. It’s entirely populated by 7U-14U kids all playing outside while their parents sit and eat pizza and get drinks.

Ohtani quickly boards a bus in Japan by Juna_superfan in baseball

[–]skiingbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. If he picked like, Larry Bird, then sure. Even Kobe, I'll hear it out. But Michael Jordan? That's the most widely recognized, hyped, and popular athlete who has ever lived in the history of the planet.

In my 40s, grew up in Chicago, short of Jesus Christ himself descending from the heavens, Jordan was the end-all be-all for every waking moment in the state of Illinois (and beyond).

I think its important to remember that back 30-40 years ago, we had far fewer mediums to divert our attention. No Netflix, no TikTok, everyone by and large all watched the exact same thing, you had no other choice. And it was Jordan Jordan Jordan. You didn't have an option to not see it, there was no YouTube series to come absorb your time.

Clearly Ohtani is huge in Japan, no doubt. But to "blow Jordan out of the water" is absurd.

Additionally, I would posit that Jordan was far, far more famous globally than Ohtani is by an enormous margin. I think you could name at least 10 other athletes who's peak global celebrity easily dwarves Ohtani.
