@CartoonsHateHer Girls, more than ever, are obsessed with height.

My favorite are the short female chefs on Chopped who are always like "I may be bite sized, but I can COOK!" like I'm sorry is there a stereotype that only tall people can cook?

@LawVSX @Motorsport Toto likes to dominate.

@Motorsport This was a more normal weekend but this kind of language isn't professional.

Do you agree with Toto Wolff?

@NotHankDave With it being in favor of the (one time) hateful home crowd.

@ProtonPirate Ozunas been funny this year, his home road splits so far this year are staggering

I don’t “miss” Ke’bryan Hayes or anything like that. Our team is better without him tbh But I do keep thinking about how when he was traded my feeling was less “he sucks” and more “he doesn’t fit with our roster”. I feel strongly that he is a massive asset provided that your hitting is strong enough to overcome how useless he is at the plate. Last year, we couldn’t afford to have a black hole in the lineup considering we already had several But now? This is ironically the type of team that Hayes could’ve thrived on

@NotHankDave "Yeah I am saying we are overcoming dismal output for Ozuna" Oh, I'm with you. He's definitely been better, as of late, and I'm hoping we see the 'real' Ozuna for the rest of the year.

@ProtonPirate Yeah I am saying we are overcoming dismal output for Ozuna I am not necessarily saying that I would take key back, regardless of his contract situation (which would make it more difficult for me to embrace)

@NotHankDave "...are we not overcoming something similar with Ozuna right now?" I'm not sure I know what you are saying. If you are saying that we have had to, so far, overcome the dismal output from Ozuna, I definitely agree. But I, also, don't want to sign Ozuna to 8yr/$70 Million.

@ProtonPirate I get what you’re saying but are we not overcoming something similar with Ozuna right now? DH is entirely offensive production and we are just not getting it consistently. Broadly speaking the team is doing fine

@NotHankDave At 3B? Honestly, it's a 'power' position. Sacrificing some of that production when you consider how much we are getting from SS and CF... OK, I hear you. But not THAT much. Key really, really fell off and we were able to unload his contract onto a divisional rival. Win.

@ProtonPirate I think we could manage it currently tbh

@acquisizioni A very small plan for a town hall and a church, at the top of the hill, and then selling off all the other land to whomever wants to build, and they can build whatever they want. You want lots of land and want to drive to the store, then you also need to build the road.

You have unlimited capital, no zoning and are the sole decision-maker. What are you building and where?

@grok @AMC_2023_ @Watchman_motto Would a Premium Plan get me a weird house plan, as well?

If I said, “the house is 1200sqft” you would say that’s too small. If I showed you this house you would start finding reasons why it’s the perfect size.

@aimeeterese Young women are making more money than ever (particularly in terms relative to young men) and see themselves, likely, being alone for the foreseeable future, so... Abortions and Big Brother (i.e. Daddy)!

Men stopped telling women they were wrong, because it became functionally illegal to do so.

@grok @AMC_2023_ @Watchman_motto @grok The plan for the kitchen, somehow, merges with the 2nd story façade?

@AMC_2023_ @Watchman_motto Here's a straightforward, non-confusing floor plan for that beautiful 1200 sqft house. Open living/kitchen/dining with fireplace, master suite, guest bedroom, and porch.

@ggraham I am not trying to be a jerk when I say, with sincerity, that this *is* Democracy In Action.

Whisky Rebel is correct. Reminds me of when the GA builder lobby successfully pushed thru residential contractor licensing in 2004. Existing practitioners grandfathered, of course. The promoters presented no evidence from other states that licensing would increase quality, lower cost, improve customer experience, etc (because the evidence is weak to non-existent). No evidence of quality improvement since—but, to the surprise of no one, fees have gone up.

@Watchman_motto This is, obviously, a very nice looking home, however... Most homes, as drawings, look pretty good with a lakeside setting. I'm sure this would also look good in a more walkable environment, and I wish that was the default setting for, particularly, smaller home designs.

@ggrrrha @wearetherace I am not a Tifoso, but Ferrari got absolutely fucked with the various 'updates' to the '26 regs. Every Grand Prix should see a Ferrari flying off the line and getting a huge lead on Lap 1 before the Mercs would catch them midway through the race. But the rules were changed.

@ProtonPirate @wearetherace Yeah, the same with the super-clipping being increased to 350kw. Funnily, that’s one of the only major things that were changed in the break and was heavily lobbied by all Merc teams. And Ferrari lost 0.4-0.5 s every straight in the following race. I would call that a surprise...

Historically one of the biggest supporters of the current power unit formula, Mercedes has thrown its weight behind #F1's proposed switch to V8s - and even suggested a plan for a 1200bhp "mega" engine: the-race.com/formula-1/f1s-…

@DawgsandBurgh @LetsGoBucsHD56 mlb.com/guardians/vide…

@DawgsandBurgh @LetsGoBucsHD56 Right. As was that one catch he made against the Reds, running into the OF and makes a sliding catch and then doubles up the runner at 1B. However, you see him celebrate the catch with a "WWOOOO" before throwing the ball to 1B. I think he was a natural athlete w/o the focus.

Even as good as Kevin Newman and Cole Tucker were for the Bucs….Konnor Griffin is starting to make me forget them.

@ggrrrha @wearetherace Yup. The-Race once estimated that MB was developing their Turbo Hybrid engine SEVEN YEARS before they were introduced! I hold nothing against Toto, but the fans should know what's actually happening.

@ProtonPirate @wearetherace It seems like he pushes certain engine elements as “necessary” and “the future” because he already has a head start on them. They’re developed long before entering the regs, so when costly, underwhelming rules arrive, he holds a major advantage.

@ggrrrha @wearetherace Honestly, he has had a huge impact and few seem to realize what a massive driving force he was for the current 50/50. Audi did not push for 50/50 and Honda came on AFTER it was decided. Ferrari were not pushing for it and Horner DEFINITELY was pushing for it. It was Toto.

@ProtonPirate @wearetherace Yeah, that's why F1 has been devastatingly shit since 2014... nothing new here

@BackmarkerSPRTS @wearetherace @XPBImages Yeah, I had a hard time rooting for him with his screaming on the radio in Formula 2, but he is becoming one of my favorites.

@wearetherace @XPBImages Love Hadjar’s straightforwardness. Owning a mistake is something few drivers are willing to do.

🗣️ "It was easy to overtake, should have been more cautious." Isack Hadjar on his Miami GP crash:

@DawgsandBurgh @LetsGoBucsHD56 I'll never forget Cole saying (paraphrasing), "Yeah, it's weird. Your entire life you are the best player on the team and then, one day, you're not." He was a very athletic guy who, seemingly, never became hyper-focused on improving his hitting. He was easy to root for, though.

@LetsGoBucsHD56 I always liked Kev, cool guy and his 2019 was fun and memorable... Cole on the other hand was definitely a minor leaguer
