I prefer a personal relationship with line spacing, thanks. 

The solution is obvious.

If the field is infinite, the foul lines would extend across the globe and eventually meet back at home plate, meaning that any ball hit forward into foul territory would actually be landing in the outfield, right? 

I think the game you just invented is called cricket.

I would add that they should install a smooth hard surface of some sort over everything beyond 400 feet so that if you hit what used to be a home run, that ball is never going to stop rolling. Also institute a rule that you can run the bases multiple times for multiple runs, but if you’re on your second or later time…

I think at this point it’s a certainty that they are not operated by the US government in any way, because there is no chance that our current president would be able to resist blabbing about this amazing technology we’ve got every time he found himself in front of a camera or some dictator he wanted to impress. 

You seriously think the Navy would be investing time and money into investigating this, plus publicizing all this material, if it were that easy to explain? You think the pilots would be reacting the way they are in the video? I mean come on.

You see this kind of stuff on the internet, even a reputable site like FA, and it’s easily dismissed. But the New York Times runs an article like this and it makes me rethink things; they don’t publish an article about UFOs without examining, and dismissing, the possibility that it was a weather balloon.

The acceleration involved makes me skeptical of any “secret human” explanation.  If these guys weren’t claiming eyeball sightings, the easiest explanation would be Russia or China hacking the Navy’s radar and telemetry systems.  With everything together, I’m at a loss.

It was sunlight reflecting off clouds, and perhaps the pilots were initially mistaken in their recollections and could use some more time to collect their thoughts and give a more accurate account that is reflective of their current rank and career ambitions. 

The combination of miltiple incidents, multiple witnesses and multiple platform’s (air and surface ship) Radar, IR and visual detection makes them pretty damn physically real, not a cloud, sundog, glare, etc.

Ivory tower dwelling, silver spoon in mouth having, white college graduates who treat everyone like shit are indeed terrible. But take your “Leave the white, rural poor people alone!” both sides-ism and shove it. The dickhead college kids generally don’t reject basic science, vote for politicians whose main platform…

I saw this a long time ago on the internet, and I feel it’s somewhat relevant:

Note: When a lane is ending, the most efficient use of time and space is for people to drive in both lanes until the end, and zipper merge at that point. It is actually the rule of the road in several places.

The person you describe sounds like a Grade-A asshole, but at least he knows how to zipper merge properly!

I live in a place full of (white) college educated people who *also* demand respect on the basis of their privileges, fortunate educations, and personal taste. The grammar policing, the virtue signalling, the differentiating themselves from the others through professional/managerial status markers, particularly…

I beg to differ. They’ll probably be walled up in a Costco or some type of gun store, and then they’ll all slowly kill themselves fighting over the last pair of sunglasses not made in China.

Tampa?

I live in a place full of (white) manbabies who demand respect without being willing to give it to others. Giant lifted trucks, barbed wire tattoos on steroid-pumped upper arms, Punisher skulls, “black rifles” and “tactical” clothing: all of this is about signaling the world, “I DEMAND YOUR DEFERENCE.”
