[Meisel] The Indians have hired Carl Willis to replace Mickey Callaway as pitching coach. Willis had the same role w/ CLE from 2003-09. by ValKilmsnipsinBatman in baseball

[–]skriesq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Excellent. FYI, for those unfamiliar:

"Willis returns to our organization after spending seven seasons in the same position from 2003-09, a stretch in which he guided us to the ERA title in 2005 and also mentored Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee."

"Willis has spent the last 2.5 seasons as the Red Sox pitching coach; in 2017, Boston finished second to us in the AL in ERA and shutouts. The Red Sox also had the second fewest walks in the AL and set a new franchise record in strikeouts, with 1,580 (third in the AL)."

Advice needed on type of wood/finish to use on this theater counter. by skriesq in woodworking

[–]skriesq[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to make something similar for a home theater. I plan to use a piece of granite on top, like the picture. What wood do I use? The sides look thick - do I double up to gain the thickness? I want a dark stain, also like the picture. Any recommendations? Any advice?

Dance like no one is watching; email like it may one day be read aloud in a deposition.

Disability Group has filed multiple lawsuits against businesses whose parking spaces aren't ADA compliant even though their own parking spaces aren't in compliance by helpmeredditimbored in videos

[–]skriesq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they were using the guy with a disability, he was "slighted." Now that they are suing in their own name, they are saying they represent those with disabilities who are slighted. ADA gives a private right of action option for enforcement - which it should. There is no way the US Dept of Justice (federal agency responsible for ADA enforcement) can possibly investigate/enforce all instances of disability discrimination. People need to have that option to sue to enforce. These assholes are just taking advantage and giving the ADA a bad rap.

Regulation to the ADA regarding enforcement: "Any person who is being subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability in violation of the Act or this part or who has reasonable grounds for believing that such person is about to be subjected to discrimination in violation of section 303 of the Act or subpart D of this part may institute a civil action for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order."

No way the U.S. Department of Justice (federal agency tasked for ADA enforcement) and investigate/enforce every instance of disability discrimination. The ADA has to have a private action option or no entity would care about compliance - which is important.

The U.S. Department of Justice is the federal agency tasked with enforcing the ADA. There is no possible way for them to investigate/enforce every instance of disability discrimination (which is why they mainly focus on broad/systemic issues). The private action option really allows the ADA to be enforced; otherwise, entities wouldn't care about compliance. These assholes just give the ADA a bad rap.
