    2022 Catch All

    The only difference between when you grew up and now is that we didn't have the internet showing us every single story happening 24/7. Kidnappings, shootings and stabbings happened plenty back then. You just didn't hear about them as much.
  2. Say goodbye to sleep for about 6 months or so. First kid it took 3-4 months for her to sleep through the night. Second one took a year.

    It literally says in the article you posted: "The U.S. Constitution makes no provision for states to secede and in 1869, the Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White that states cannot unilaterally secede from the Union." So don't plan on it anytime soon.

    I found a clip of Greg wandering through modern Chicago.
  5. Just in case anyone is planning a visit to Yellowstone anytime soon. https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/news/220613.htm
  6. If I had a dollar for every time Greg was worried about being banned I could probably retire.
  7. How many places did you post this?
  8. I was thinking more of things like these: https://www.rd.com/list/funny-warning-labels/ You know these labels only exist because someone, somewhere tried it at least once.
  9. Yea, that's absolutely on Tony. I mean the players have to execute but when you intentionally put them in bad spots you can't blame them when they don't. How many times in the history of ever has a player been IBB on a 1-2 count?
  10. Yea, I just read that gas in France (I think?) is like $7/gallon right now. But they don't have those little "I did that" stickers all over their pumps.
  11. The biggest complaint I've heard is the range and the lack of charging stations. So if you want to take a long trip somewhere, there is always the worry that you'll get stuck somewhere with no place to charge the batteries. Other than that, I've heard worry over the cost of replacing the batteries when the time comes. I'm also part of an RVing forum and there's a lot of discussion over the actual towing capacities of the electric trucks.
  12. I'm of the belief that coaches and managers get too much credit when the team is good and too much blame when the team is bad. But that being said, I don't think they are completely useless either. Even at the professional level. I know from when I played sports myself and having watched my daughter being coached for many years in bowling, sometimes you don't notice what you are doing wrong when you are doing it. Sometimes a good coach can make a small suggestion of something to change or an adjustment to make and it can make a big difference. I've also seen coaches that don't do anything at all and their players never improve.
  13. This is actually a pretty good video that explains why gas prices are what they are and why the guy sitting in the oval office has very little control over them despite what many seem to believe.
  14. I absolutely wouldn't give up 2005 for anything but it's almost like... Come on guys. You figured it out once. Plenty of other teams have done it. Figure it out again.
  15. You know... that's a pretty crazy idea... but it just might work! I've been looking at stats and I've discovered that teams that score more runs than their opponents tend to win more games. I think the Sox should employ this strategy as well.
  16. They absolutely were. They hadn't won a post-season series in the 88 years prior and haven't won another one since then, I mean it was fun as hell at the time and I'll never forget it but that's kinda the definition of a fluke.

    Thinking back to many of the teachers I had over the years, I agree. I think there are probably a lot that wouldn't even want to either.
  18. That's kinda interesting. I know some people put a lot of stock into this "stat" but the Yankees, Twins and Padres are showing that it doesn't really matter.
  19. I'm not sure losing games in May to division rivals to make sure players are healthy in October is the best plan.
  20. Seems like there should be some sort of lesson learned here...

    You must be older than me. When I played, every single team I was on or played against had a dad (or in at least one instance a mom) coaching and their son was on their team. I went through 3 coaches myself. When the son decided he didn't want to play anymore, another dad would step up and take the duties. My final 3 or 4 years I had my own dad coaching. This was in the 80's thru the early 90's.
  22. Funny enough this came up in my recommended videos on Youtube. I guess I've always sort of known this. When people ask me how I learn I've always said it kinds depends on what I'm trying to learn.
