If I were Chet that pic of the three of them would have me checking my circulation.

Could be, but to me for Mize the issue has always been that his FB is too easy to hit. You can work on tweaking your breaking stuff all you want, but for 90% of pitchers, how the off speed plays always depends on how good a FB it's playing against.

Bierut in the post WWII era was a very cosmopolitan place, but the rise of Arab nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism and the polarization over the constant Israeli/Arab warring combined to not only destroy Lebanon, but also drive out most of the people that had made it the place it was. There were large emigration waves of Lebanese Christians to the US and Europe first, and then later more western leading Muslim Lebanese who had no use for where things were going.

"I need to get back to using the splitter a lot" I actually don't much like the sound of that. He first came up 'using the splitter a lot' and was ineffective and had to abandon it. Sounds a bit too much little bit like a guy clutching at straws at this point. I hope not of course, but I'd rather have heard him say he had a much improved high heater he needed to use more!

Interesting that the big drop in traffic was around 2008 crash and those totals have not come back at either bridge. I'm going to guess an auto assembly plant or two in Ontario must have closed at the crash and never re-opened.

but which last year, the 1st half or the 2nd? They were two completely different teams last year.

hope that's true of anybody!

All things are possible, few are probable. Ordinary fracture of a long bone has a really high probability of a zero deficit recovery.

That's probably a bridge he shouldn't try to cross. There are 7 easy votes on SCOTUS to oppose that. Even folks here have talked about being able to get things past 'his' court would probably agree that won't go.

At our HS we had an already old IBM 1400 series (i think) computer which was about the size of a large office desk. It had 1000 tiny ferrite cores strung on wires for RAM. That was 1K of 'Core' memory. Hard to remember the efficiency pressure early programmers worked under when that was all the machine memory you had to work with.

if he actually followed through on eliminating the carried interest deduction it might help manufacturing as much as his tariffs. If outfits like Bain were less profitable more manufacturers would probably still be in business instead of dismembered. But that's one I'm sure he'll get talked out of before it ever happens.

you can even use a bunch of LInux CLI syntax now in Windows Powershell - thing is I never know what isn't going to work.

exactly - sometimes the data doesn't imply what you think it does. Fro example, there could be various reasons book keeping on some things aren't up to date, doesn't necessarily mean any money is going out because of it.

merger speculation? Some analysts yesterday were out there with valuations of a dis-aggregated Intel with the value over $30/share as pieces. Broadcom and TMSC were mentioned as suitors, can't see the Admin allowing TSMC to take an interest in Intel's foundry business though, but maybe the other half if the foundry biz is split off? That doesn't seem to parse either.

they like the guys who didn't get disabled, doncha know?

The east coast writers pick Detroit any and every time the Yankees or Red Sox are looking to unload a player. Of course we are where Torres ended up.......🤔

There are rules in A^2 for about everything but they almost never bother you unless a neighbor complains. The guy across the street leaves his beat up old pickup on the street weeks at a time - he's got 100' of driveway. You can't leave a vehicle parked in A^2 on any street for more than 48hrs. I keep thinking the plow drivers will call in on him but they don't. The SO gets frosted because she doesn't like it behind her when she backs out of the drive. He's a nice enough guy but I guess he's just totally oblivious since he apparently never wonders why he's got the only vehicle on street.

And the so called 'low cost' airline model is collapsing anyway since the majors are now 'classing' their service and seating in each airplane and unbundling charges in a way that cuts the low cost fliers out of their market. The merger scramble among the discount fliers being exhibit "A". What I wonder is how much a ticket would actually cost today of the airlines were still operating under the old CAB regime and flying was actually an enjoyable experience. I'm sure the deregulation types would say it would be so expensive no-one could fly - but I still wonder. If you do the right thing by everyone, there is economy of scale to that too!

If he moves to A^2 they'll give him a ticket for leaving that 4' if it's on his property. I've got about 15' past my drive, my neighbor always does it anyway so I do half of his walk if I've gotten out first.

LOL - my father was absolutley like that, he'd read you the riot act over some piddly thing, and then you'd really screw up and be sure you were going to get murdered, and he be like - "well you did mess that up, try not to do it again".

To me it's not a matter of replacing McKinstry, I don't mind him as the utility guy but I want a real shortstop ready behind Javy - i.e. I think Sweeney has to be on the team and not just a trip from Toledo away unless Javy is by some miracle going to be playing at a 9 out of 10 game pace. Or put another way, I don't mind how much McKinstry plays or even if he does or doesn't make the team as long as he isn't asked to play much SS. Of course that's the problem because if Javy is playing but only 1/2 time or even worse RH platoon, they don't want to carry a utility guy and a second SS. I would say tough - drop an OF if you have to, you have to catch the ball on the IF. It's simply more important (IMO) than another marginal bit of match up flexibility for Hinch.

we might make a ST trip but probably drive!

I've driven one EV to date, which was a BMW I spent a day with in LA, but I didn't spend a lot of time with it to learn all the bells and whistles so I didn't know how to kill the regen braking on the fly like that, but it's certainly a feature I would want. With that Beemer it was quite irritating that if you killed the cruise control, instead of going into a coast, you were immediately slowing down fairly hard - not at all what you normally wanted on the 405 in that situation! So you had to be ready to hunt for the neutral throttle position when disengaging the cruise. I'm sure there was a better way but I just didn't know it - or at least hope there was! I have one acquaintance with a Tesla but he is so non-tech I don't know if I'd get much out of him to ask him about it. Worth a try next time I see him though. ...

you would think that would be subject to electrical control - if you open the windings circuit on the armature then you wouldn't get regen breaking. If you think about it, it would seem the vehicle has to be able to waste regen breaking energy because you can't use the power if the battery happens to be fully charged. Obviously has to do with the way the motors are wired but off hand I can't say what the advantage/requirement is in a configuration that can't coast. One more thing to learn about before I buy one....
