@DrEenfeldt@DietDoctor@JoinHava Really sorry to hear this. The app has been great for me, and it will be missed. You also seem to have operated with great integrity throughout, and I’m sure this is personally very challenging for you. I hope you find or build your next thing very quickly.
@Alan_Couzens@Winter_arrived I think your dermatology example is spot on. I have a lot of freckles on my back. Each year my dermatologist takes one to three of them for testing. At first, it was nerve wracking waiting for results, but now I’m desensitized to it.
Funny what happens when you add accountability and feedback loops to a system that historically had little of either.
A precise pitch tracking system used to train and grade umps was introduced in 2015. In '25, auto umps became inevitable. On-field player appeals started '26.

I’m learning that getting older means graduating from main character to supporting cast. From child, student, suitor to parent, teacher, spouse. You grow ever more deeply invested in other people’s successes, if you’re doing it right, and realizing what a privilege that is. You come to see and feel that the richer and deeper your own life becomes, the less you want to be the center of attention, the more you understand that the money spot of the human soul is in the cheering section, where the self is lost in love. I think this carries on forever, by the way.
@fakegingerbitch@mikeharrisNY And that’s if you can keep the customers, which is really hard when buying a small business. In many instances, the customer identifies with the person who started the business, as opposed to the “business” in abstract.
@webdevMason@LizWolfeReason I was born in '68 in upstate NY. At least in that area, it was considered rude to the other patrons if you brought a small disruptive child. The nicer the restaurant the more rude. I like babies, so I'm glad that's changed.
