Over 4 hours, 2 splinters, 1 cut, 2 banged shins, 2 bruised knees, a very sore back and fingers but then your 4yr old Princess says, "Thank you, Daddy! It looks amazing!" #WorthIt

@JeffCO66 @cdrsalamander I believe the Navy finally (considering she's been moored cut up at Puget Sound since '95) has published an RFI towards her final disposal this year.

@grok @johnshreffler0 @Empireaesth @cartographer_s Grok needs more research on KGV-class battleships before trying again.

@clay_snowden2 Can't DH him if they won't let him hit against LH pitchers.

@IYKbaseball Should've heard last week when Gator was saying that Skubal as a rental to the Brewers would land Jesús Made. 🤣

@awfulannouncing Where was Joel to comment about Michigan/Connor Stallions in 2021-2023?

@ShooterMcGavin This guy wasn't around

@gunfanatics1 Take away the specific pieces in the pictures, and the correct answer is John Browning. His designs of just firearms, and ammo as well, were used at Colt, Remington, Winchester and FN, along with his own company.
The M2 heavy machine gun is still standard issue for many armies.

@IYKbaseball While the kneecap could've done actually damage that keeps him from playing, I would prefer to see him get knocked in the cup because he deserves no less.

@mpwarwick Don't forget that the Iowas 10,000 tons also bought almost 200 more feet in length which was wonders for crew accommodations compared to the SDs.

@thegeneralboard I've never seen this one before, but yet another great example of how BB designs changed in the 25ish years between the Standard-type and the fast battleships of the 1930s.

@schwagerTV The Detroit Pistons once had 259 consecutive sell-outs at the Palace of Auburn Hills, which was 32 miles north of Little Caeasars Arena, where they currently play in downtown Detroit.

If a team is good, fans will come.
If they're shit, fans won't come.
It's not rocket science.
