If Florida and Tennessee are so bad, why are both consistently among the states with the highest growth rates - along with other red states - Utah, Idaho, Montana
While New York and Illinois, blue states, have people leaving

I’m really torn on the automatic zone. It may improve the quality of the calls which is good - but umpires, like players, are imperfect. Bad calls are going to be part of the game and I guess it helps make the game interesting in some way.
I’m probably biased. I was a longtime softball umpire thru the high school level and would hate to see umpires replaced.
But it’s probably inevitable.

One thing about the flamboyant young Latin players - they have to know they can’t have it both ways. I do watch a lot of baseball - every day - they seem to get very upset by even the slightest inside pinch.
I guess I grew up in an era where players would get dusted by Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal and Nolan Ryan. It used to part off the game.
I sort of miss the classic manager-umpire arguments. They’ve virtually disappeared with replay.

I agree. If all the rule changes - I love the pitch clock.
I’m can go either way on the replay review. I’m all for reversing blatant errors but I don’t think the intent of the rule was to try and see if a finger touched the base (that could only be seen on a high def slow mo blown up review) - same applies to the NFL

Some addiction specialists suggest you shouldn’t watch porn because 100% of the talent are drug and alcohol abusers and you are supporting their habit.
Does the harm reduction theory apply to only the customer?

I’m a huge baseball fan. I’ve been watching (and listening on the radio) since 1967. I’m an old school baseball traditionalist, so my answer might surprise some. The bat flips and chest-beating doesn’t bother me so much. In an ideal world, I’d prefer a more conservative approach but MLB has bigger issues.
What probably bothers me more are the actions of NFL players - the choreographed dancing around after a TD is really annoying.
Or the absolutely most annoying thing - when a defensive player sacks the QB, the excess celebration even if you’re down 42-0. Act like that’s your job
As far as I’m concerned MLB has bigger issues. I hate the increase in inter-league play this season. Still hating the DH and the extra innings ghost runner.
But most of all, they need to address the antiquated blackout rules.

His music not necessarily my cup of tea, but wasn’t he still performing as recent as last year? Good for him that he could enjoy his health for that long

And I saw McDonald’s is forced to pay $800,000 because of poor parenting. Some welfare mom gave her kid a hot chicken nugget and it allegedly burned the kid’s leg
Soon we are going to get cold food at the drive thru and will have to take it home to heat up

I have a good Lodge cast iron pan and I seasoned it following the instructions and from what I learned from Alton Brown on the Food Channel but it still is too hard to clean. I’m kind of lazy. But I don’t like the way bon stick sears burgers.
Stainless steel seems like it would be hard to clean also.
I need to investigate air fryers. Never had one but everyone seems to love them

Maybe fascinating for HBR, but in the “real world” it will mean further unscripted trash TV and reality shows.

I don’t pretend to know the intricacies of all the issues - but streaming ain’t going away. So if past pay was based on largely on residuals from syndication, then obviously changes are needed moving forward.
But I’ve always wondered how actors and writers (like athletes) can be represented both by collective bargaining and individual contracts. Not saying I’m pro studio - but it seems the actors want to have it both ways

It used to be that you sometimes could find a dancer who was into classic rock (usually day shift) - or at least they said so because that’s what their Dad listened to (probably SS)
But anymore it would have to be grandfathers of great-grandfathers. :)

We might want to hear good music, but can strippers dance to it? "At Last" and "American Pie" are classics, but...”

No, but how about Peggy Lee (Fever)?
Almost anything by Zeppelin: Black Dog, Rock and Roll, When the Levee Breaks, Kashmir, D'yer Mak'er

The internet has spoken and she’s been ranked as the hottest Jeopardy contestant ever.
I used to be a regular viewer during the Trebek days so I can attest the show didn’t usually feature the best looking women, but c’mon
I don’t find her even remotely attractive.

All good answers.
I think many times faces get more attractive from 25-29. Look at high school yearbook pictures versus 10 years later. Also compare old pictures of actresses - but that one is probably unfair because with money comes better fitness, nutrition, surgeries etc
But for unclothed bodies, it’s got to be the tighter bodies of a 21-22 year old. But having said that, I rarely go for that in strip clubs, as I prefer the overall package that a 28 year old brings to the table

25 -
My parents moved to central Florida, south of Orlando in the late 80’s and one of their friends purchased a modest ranch style home for only $40,000 around the same time. I visited it several times - it was in excellent condition and perfect for a retired couple.
Even in central Florida I’m guessing you’d pay six to ten times that now.
