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....

The media machine drives everything to over-exposure. All the things that the reporting is casting in stone are all actually still completely fluid. No-one knows who is going to hit or pitch well, or who will have the misfortune of finding that it's back to the drawing board because for whatever reasons, the off season tweaks they worked on don't work against live opposition. So now every normal decision they have to make will be reported like some kind of big reversal of plans.

OK, that seems weird for an electric. Doesn't seem like it should bother an electric drive train to be over-coasted. I know you pretty much can't tow any vehicle with a 4 way differential like my Subaru. On the older chevy 4WD you could electronically uncouple the transfer case but that fact seemed to be kept like a state secret.

I can give the vehicle a little bit of a break because the driver doesn't have sense enough to pull straight out instead of pushing a front end with the steering at lock harder into the snow. And the huge windshield wiper is doing a crappy job on the window.

Well I suppose if he doesn't go to his left well he should benefit from having an ex-2b on that side, who should have more than average range for a 1B. Hope Tiger pitchers stay ready to cover 1st.

Mike Trout had 3078 PA from 2015-2019, he's had 1374 since.

Baez may be in the best shape of his life, but if he still can't hit they'll have to work out some kind of deal to get him off the roster. I suppose if that turns out to be the case but it's not a proven case by the end of ST, they could option Sweeney out, but even if Javy hits in ST I would have a hard time starting the season with Baez and McKinstry as my SS depth. McKinstry just isn't a very good SS and this team thinks it's after the playoffs again and the right right of the ID is already questionable. Of course the fact that I would have a hard time doesn't mean Harris will! Unless the team ends up way more optimistic about Baez playing 140 games and being a plus player than we all are!

Has to be an incredibly rare circumstance for a fuselage to end up upside down but still intact. Appears to be a Boeing 717, make that a CRJ900. (Bombardier)

I'm a little sympathetic to the people on the other end, they probably get paid based on what they sell you, and that really is the problem - it's the perverse incentive to put sales pressure on people from whom the customer only wants service. I've sometimes just said to them, "I know you have a job to do but I'm not buying today" and they will just drop to a pro forma recitation of their required script and then we can move on. Oddly enough, I've had a couple of pretty decent interactions recently with people at AT&T, who used to be as bad as bad could be. One day an obviously Asian fellow I talked to would at every setback tell me that "we shall most assuredly solve your problem for you!" and he eventually did.

0.7 WAR in 120 PA is probably not a production rate we should put any money on him sustaining, but he's been a nice player so far. It's a little odd that for his short stint BR rates him 0.4 oWAR on only a 91 OPS+. Maybe fewer good hitting SS now than there were a few years ago? Rdrs likes him, though the sample size is still too small to take seriously. He doesn't look like he's doing all that much out there with the glove, but if you have a good 1st step it can deceive the eye test compared to a guy who makes an acrobatic finish on the same play because he started later a tick later.....

You needn't wonder.
