the runways at DTW are 2 miles long. The two airstrips and the total flight would all fit easily inside the boundary fence at Metro. ✈️

interviewer never went there. His complaint about distractions started when the interviewer started asking about Fuentes. Carlson said he regretted the interview because people overestimate the reach of people like that who have no power and sucks all the attention from what the people who have power are doing. While I would says he's being more than a little disingenuous there, I'd say he's still correct about the basic fact of the elevation of immaterial over the material - even if guys like himself are a big part of that immaterial.

very nice

immigration is still toxic for the Dems. So here is the thing. Most people believe AI is going to lead to big unemployment. I'm less worried about that - at least long term. Historically, new techs have displaced workers but created more net activity. The best example is mechanization of agriculture. That eliminated the work of a far larger % of the population than AI will, but the Industrial Revolution that came with it easily absorbed all those workers. The thing is, we don't see where the new work is yet, so we tend to take the worst case view. However, short term, one thing that will be worse is the speed of adoption. Things move much faster today so the short term displacement can still be bad. In any case, that real fear over job losses in the economy, whether correct or not, certainly drives a lot of people who are not particularly evil to want immigration to go to/stay at zero. So they may vote against the kind of gratuitous cruelty of this admin, but any reform proposals with things like an expanded H1-B program are not going to go over well in an environment where the predictions are flying that millions of jobs are at risk.

I was able to watch the full video report from the regular CNN homepage yesterday.

I don't know if this story will get traction or if the American public is totally somnolent at this point, but our inability to defend our bases should be a huge story.

Skubal, Valdez, Mize, Montero, Melton will be the rotation in by June - and that's assuming Casey doesn't injure something esle recovering from his current injury

TJ procedure has evolved into two somewhat different surgeries depending on the exact conditions. The STD full transplant procedure and a newer less traumatic one. IIRC (but I really am not sure at all) I thought it was reported that Jobe underwent the 'modern' technique - so in theory he may have an easier recovery, but I don't know if enough of the newer procedure are in the books for there to be a lot of data.

The org is too short of starting pitching to think about including Jobe in a trade for a position player.

The NYT (of all people) did a podcast interview with Tucker Carlson. It was interesting, one of his biggest complaints was exactly how the media was normalizing what this admin was doing - in his case his concern was over the normalization of what he considers an immoral murderous foreign policy and all the happy talk about killing innocent people, but his complaint about the oligarchy keeping everyone distracted with issues that are fundamentally unimportant while ignoring the things that actually affect the lives of everyday Americans could have come from any progressive, and he even said as much.

wonderful. Let' get the whole staff on the DL, they can throw themselves a Tupperware party.

In a lot of places BP runs a loyalty program and discounts their list price to the same as the competition for card holders. I guess the theory is that non-regular customers are willing to pay more because maybe they are refueling at need? But that seems dumb when there is a station across the street at a dime less, which is the situation for at least a couple of the A^2 BPs. The corporate programming must tell them it works overall, but seems like a tough deal for those stations where that competitor is right across the street.

try setting you default power mode to high performance. Of course that might keep your fans running. If you're brave you can go into 'Group Policy' or the registry for a fix but it not clear those work either, and have a good back-up first. what adds to the confusion is that some reports are that after you do this, task manager still reports efficiency mode is applied even if it isn't. I've been using a Mac more and more recently and the intel boxes run Linux for everything except Solidworks. I'd really like to be completely done with MS but I can't get off that and couple other critical equipment control application that are only available in Windows. The stupid irony is that I'm only in Windows maybe 5% of the time I'm on a computer, but still spend at least 50% of my total system maintenance time keeping up those windows shells I hardly use.

prep on the pool image too much to believe Trump did it himself, which means it's even weirder that he has some aide working late with him just to create troll fodder.

If you are Gage Workman this move should concentrate your mind on life after baseball.

Maddux would be the guy I probably must have seen but have no real recollection of as a player because I just never cared about the Braves other than to pay attention to Aaron.

Zimmermann V2.0

What are they doing to with Flaherty? I can see one more start, but if it goes like this again....

Yeah, that was kinda cute. Tigers didn't do anything though.

The BP has given up one run in 6 IP. If they don't walk this off the BP is going to get the loss but it's not really theirs.

Vest apparently not available tonight.

he's faced three batters, you can go get him any time.

Not off to a great start

Burch Smith? Needs to keep Texas barking up the wrong tree.

Lee picks 107mph.
