Amen to that.

This is going to sound like flattery but it’s the truth. I didn’t look to see who wrote the article before I started reading it (because who’s got time for that) and part way into the 1st paragraph I was thinking “dang this is well written.” This has happened several times lately and every time it was written by Ray…

BPD is DEFINITELY deal breaker... unless you love drama and emotional rollercoaster rides.

... adding a feature like that isnt free - coding + quality checking + appeals of “my number is blocked” + maint of the databases of robo number or AI to identify robo numbers.... none of that is “free” even though you think it is.

establishing itself as remotely financially viable for top players seems like a reasonable place to start.

It’s the plain background in center field of all ballparks. It gives the batter a clear (almost always green) background against the pitching hand and release point of the ball. So, in a nod to its purpose, it’s called a batter’s eye.

Pancake guy’s answer is better, but essentially there has to be a solid-colored dark area in center field just above the fence, so the batter can clearly see the white baseball coming at him (both to try to hit it and to be able to duck fast enough if it’s coming at his head). You’ve seen it a million times and…

Why is there a current fascination with “launch angle” and “exit velocity”?

In this case it is a curiosity. Same as a swinging strike on a Jordan Hicks fastball- it doesn’t matter how fast it was, you know it was fast.

Your picture isn’t of knock off costumed characters though. Those were official Mickey and Minnie costumes at Disneyland in the 1958.

This is ex-gawker. If it’s about anything that threatens their champions of the social justice (such as taxi companies, evidentialy) it’s the Big Bad.

Or have you just run out of actual shit to complain about today?

I mean, I’m pretty sure that’s how a limo service can work, if you request it.

Ah yes, because “every corporation that has existed since the invention of the corporation” loses a billion per quarter.  Sounds like wisdom.

Snowden gave his docs to reporters and at least was somewhat responsible about how he handled it.

Learn to read, Fucknut. That his and he were referring to Snowden...

Snowden is a man.

The “he” and “him” refer to Snowden, I believe.

You were so excited to call someone out for transphobia you forgot Edward Snowden still identifies as a man.

Hot take: Deep Space Nine is a deserved classic not because it was the black sheep of the Star Trek clan, but because it remembered best what made TOS the classic it was (and is) in the prior generation. The problem wasn’t DS9. The problem was that everyone else, including Gene himself, had changed their minds about…
