“Then, at age 72 you’re forced to take out thousands of dollars in mandatory withdrawals, known as required minimum distributions (the amount is based on a sliding scale that increases as you age).

This morning a baseball writer said of the Houston Astros, “Might they be unknowingly be tipping pitches?”

Study Finds Every Style of Parenting Produces Disturbed, Miserable Adults

I installed Brave out of curiosity. Imported bookmarks from Chrome when prompted. And now, for whatever reason, my Chrome bookmarks (on both this and other devices) are utterly torched - things duplicated, folders on the bookmarks bar, some folders totally empty. So that’s neat.

Saw this post title and immediately assumed my cat wrote it.

I’ve been to Disney World with my family, and of course that was wonderful. But a couple years ago I had a conference in Orlando, and I took an extra day to go to Animal Kingdom, and I have to say it was awesome in its own way. I hung out at Nomad Lounge for a while and had a couple beers. And if I wanted to wait two…

Once when I was giving swimming lessons (not at the state park but at the local YMCA), a girl went off the diving board into the deep end and suddenly forgot everything she’d learned, so I had to help her. I was already in the water though, and I wasn’t sure of her actual level of distress, so I didn’t think of it as…

For lifeguard I would specify that it’s at a pool, not the ocean. I spent two summers as a lifeguard at the big pool at the state park near where I grew up, and if money and benefits were no object, it was the best job I’ve ever had. Being a lifeguard at the beach is a whole different ballgame, though, due to rip…

Dude alternatives: I use “mate” a lot these days. It sounds Australian, so it’s cool!

There is one good thing that could theoretically come from dismantling the minor league system as we know it: making promotion/relegation a thing, thereby penalizing tanking.
