Could you give a bit more detail about “simultaneous action planning”?

I recommend checking out Space Cadet: Dice Duel if you don’t like the engineer. It’s a similar “bicker with your teammates and try to coordinate jobs” but with dice as the gating mechanism instead of an engineer. Maybe a bit more gamer-y and bit less party-chaos.

I hate that graphic so much I want Kevin Costner to update his rant in Bull Durham to denounce it!

A popular vote is what gave us Trump.

That is, the Constitution doesn’t say the people don’t have the right to vote, and therefore they have the right to vote.

He has a friend who said this. He completely (but wrongly) believes his friend is named “Jim”.

As my last trip to jury duty reminded me (wherein I came very close to serving on a 6-8 week long medical malpractice trial)...

One thing Amazon has going for it, it’s generally difficult to be wrongly accused of shoplifting there.

What gets me is the batter - whose run totally doesn’t matter - still heads for second!

I think the analysis might be more about how the pitcher changes to the stretch from the windup with men on base. (And less so how much a particular runner might be a factor to how they work.)

I’m sure someone higher up made the decision to assign police protection. He might have made a personal decision to take on that job - a lot of security jobs like that are voluntary overtime opportunities - or might have been a normal assignment. So yes, maybe not his choice. To be fair, you choose to serve the public…

I’m expecting that officer will do a fine job and will not be bashing counter-protestors with his club without good reason.

We got there about the same way we got to having trouble determining if that guy in the photo is a police officer or just a well-equipped protestor.

Why is Eli Manning in that photo?

But will that still hold even after their teammate died?  Will this push any of them to break that cycle?  Just how indoctrinated are football players at that level?

There are fans that look at the things they like with a collector’s mindset, like the fans who are dissatisfied with the Star Wars movie The Last Jedi. These “collectors” feel ownership over that property and want to control it.

Are any of the players going to stand up to this?

Doesn’t this disprove deflate conspiracies?

The thing with pitch speed, though, is that there is a sliding scale. Throw 98 and maybe 7 of the opposing 9 can catch up to your fastball, throw 100 and maybe you improve to only 4 of the opposing 9.

The higher the velocity, the wider the range of launch angles that will still produce a home run.
