  1. these drones are carrying claymores or some variation of a 60-81mm morter shell.   

    Both of which have a 10% or higher kill range of between 35-50m  (38-55 yards), and that number goes up the closer it gets.

    40-50 yards is the farthest "normal" range for a 12 guage. 

    I mean I guess blasting it out of the sky at 20 yards giving you a 35% change of dying is better than the 95% chance if the fucker detonates on you.. but yeesh. that math sucks either way.

    My calculations show Howard's ERA at a sterling 10.80.

    As soon as I saw Howard out there looking like he wanted to be anywhere else, I knew I'd get pissed off. I turned it off to go give my kid a bath, turned it back on and he had given up like 5 runs. Dude needs to be relegated to bullpen catcher. 

     

    all 7 runs in the 7th were earned and attributed to Howard. He got 1 out... for a smoooooth 189.00 ERA for his appearance today.

    I know that term.  But there’s a different SLP term for people that move between 3+ languages in a single sentence/breath.  It’s extremely rare.  Most us have to pause and ‘switch channels’, but there are a rare few (estimated to just be a Few hundred thousand) who can go seamlessly between languages in a literal instant and continue to same train of thought.

    I have a degree in linguistics and can't ever recall having a specific term for someone who can instantaneously move between languages in a sentence. Code-switching is the term I'm aware of that probably comes closest. Even though in America it usually refers someone changing their dialect depending on social context, it also applies to using more than one language within a singular discourse (sentence, conversation, whatever) 🤷‍♀️

     

    This guy is beyond lunacy. He can study a language for something like 10 days and at the end of those, speak at a 8th grade level of the new language in that timeframe.

    In the last year hes learned something like 6 obscure dialects and then goes into the places that use it and talks to the locals who are fucking stunned at his fluency almost everytime. 

    The best ones are when hes learning a rare Chinese dialect and talking to the front shop owner in it, and the back of house owner comes out to see whose speaking this increadably rare dialect and then lose their mind when they see its a white boy.

    I have no tolerance for this kind of shit.  If I was that cashier I would have told that dude to GTFO.

    cashier makes just $20/hr and cant afford to lose their job.  so they put up with the bullshit.

     If you are going to have replay available, get the calls right. All of them. It’s not that difficult.

    Jesus man, you have to be out of your mind to advocate that. 

    Every fucking review at a bare minimum takes 2 mins away from gametime- starting from the moment the umps decide to call time, huddle, confirm their call on the field, then ask if a coach wants to review, then run to the review booth, and then review, come back with a decision and then all the umps are back in position before its back to play ball.

    And thats for the hyper obvious ones, like ball clearly hits either fair or foul, or runner safe at first while ball is still clearly in the air, etc. you do the first base safe/not safe back and forth review like we had to do today and thats taking some serious time to get completed. 

    all 3 major review this week took at least 4 mins.  if we are reviewing everything, even if its just 10 total calls a game, we are adding ~+30 mins to every game.
