She's one of the few from that early 2000s era that has not gone completely batshit crazy ala Brittney Spears and Amanda Bynes.

It's comedy. Shane Gillis made fun of one of the black lady's husband committing suicide. Several people joked about Pete Davidson's dad being killed in 9/11. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

The top ten states with the longest shorelines, according to NOAA data, are:
Alaska: 33,904 miles
Florida: 8,436 miles
Louisiana: 7,721 miles
Maine: 3,478 miles
California: 3,427 miles
North Carolina: 3,375 miles
Texas: 3,359 miles
Virginia: 3,315 miles
In what world does Louisiana have over double the amount of shoreline than California.

I would assume that when we shift the infield to the pull side, the plan would be to pitch middle-in to encourage the batter to hit into the shift . (But maybe that is an inaccurate assumption)
That is an inaccurate assumption. Pull heavy hitters are typically pull heavy hitters regardless of where the pitch is located and often times you want to avoid throwing middle in because that's what they're looking for.

It amazes me that these people can be convinced of such atrocities without drugs.
They are born into it. From birth, they are taught that the "outsiders" are all out to get them and that their way of life is the only way to get into heaven. It's not hard to imagine warping the minds of young kids when they are taught these things at a young age.
Christ…..we have some absolute idiots on here.

What in gods name do the need FOUR cameras for on that field? Two douche bags running with him filming. His stupid camera on his head and whoever is recording this video.
This is the Pottstown Scout Team. They are nothing more than social media influencers. The coaches are all influencers and they pick the best kids across the country to go play against really good competition and film it for social media, which is why there are all the cameras.
The team is legit and will have future big leaguers. The homerun celebration is over the top, but they are encouraged to do that for clicks.

I scrolled the thread expecting it to be 90% "Hell NOs" and 10% "Yes's." I was actually surprised to see it closer to 60/40 or 70/30, which is pretty reasonable given that the question was asked in January of 2024.

Sawyer Pruitt at ULL is going to get looks from SEC schools. He's been touched up a little bit recently, but still looks really good on the mound for a freshman and has the build to become a dominant friday night guy.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
So faith is:
1) Substance. Not some ethereal mist.
2) Evidence. Not simply hearsay or supposing something is true.
That may be your definition of faith, but that's not the commonly accepted definition and certainly not the definition of the poster you were responding to.

I don't feel like anything was done in retaliation for that.
Because it wasn't a dirty play. There was nothing malicious there. The runner was trying to avoid the tag. Unfortunately, a poor through brought Serna directly in his path.

Antiquities of the Jews says they had 23 daughters and 33 sons.
Even in fantasy land, this is nearly biologically impossible, and the chances of surviving that many births without modern medicine is so statistically improbable that it may as well be impossible. Even if each pregnancy were twins, that's 26 pregnancies.
re: Yorke shouldn’t take another AB for the rest of the season

Early on Yorke was at bat with a runner on first and third with less than two outs. His job there is to drive the ball in the air to the outfield or hit a ground ball to the right side to bring the runner home.
You want Yorke to hit a ground ball with a runner on first and 1 out? Thats almost certainly a double play.

There isn’t one for production units.

Is it going to be similar to oil & gas unitization in Louisiana where you must have 80% of the mineral servitude owners either leased or signed up as working interest partners in order to drill a well for your proposed spacing unit?
That's not the rule in Louisiana for oil and gas units. But to answer your question, you need 85% of the owners within the unit to consent for a CCS unit:
La RS 30:1104.2(B): An order for unit operation shall be issued only after notice, public hearing, and a finding by the commissioner that it is for a public and necessary purpose. In order to consider a unit application, the commissioner shall find that at least eighty-five percent of the owners in interest within the proposed storage unit have consented in writing to geologic storage. The required eighty-five percent of the owners in interest shall be on the basis of, and in proportion to, the surface acreage content of the entire storage unit and, if a tract within the storage unit is subject to ownership in indivision, credited by multiplying the acreage of the tract by the undivided ownership interest of the parties who have consented in writing to geologic storage.

A what? Someone explain this to me like I’m 5.
These are not tunnels that are open to whoever wants to drive through them. I assume these will be the same as what they've already done in vegas. Essentially, the tunnel is a one-way loop that is wide enough/big enough to fit a single tesla going in one direction. Only the teslas can use the tunnel. People can then pay for a tesla uber to get from one "station" to another. They will likely pick a few places to have pickup/drop-off stations (superdome, harrahs, convention center, etc.).
Here's a video of the vegas loop. Youtube
