@jontweetssports Umps shouldn't have thrown him out but the coach should sit him down for a couple of games until he grows up. That's a coaching problem.
@Auvermann_BW@Pastor_Gabe One way to know if the prohibition is universal is to look at the reasons. Are they still true? If so, then the prohibition is universal.
Of course the reasons are still true. Therefore, the prohibition is universal.
On @PGATOUR#PGA pace of play. Enforce it. Yes it's a hard course and it's a major. If everyone plays by the same clock, it doesn't matter. You don't get a longer playclock in the Super Bowl or a long shot clock in the NBA Finals. Just hit the ball already.
Voting districts should not have weird shapes to include people. Trying to establish majority-minority districts has limited the influence of minorities rather than increasing it because it allowed the minority to affect only one district. Spread them out them increase influence.
If I wanted to limit the voting power of a demographic, I would put them all in 1 or 2 districts to concentrate their power and limit their influence. If I wanted to increase the voting power of a group of people, I would spread them out to multiple districts. Both are wrong.
Voting districts should have nothing to do with demographics. Take the total population, divide it equally, then put a grid of rectangles on the state and adjust them until each rectangle has the same number of voters. Adjust corners slightly to follow major roads or lines.
3/ And if your ABS appeal fails, a strike or ball (the original call) gets added to the count. If you appeal strike 2 and fail, a strike it added and you are out.
So make sure you get it right.
1/ On baseball: ABS is not great; technically useful in some ways (though it doesn't get the whole strike zone). but kills the spirit of the game. Overturning on 1/10 of an inch is stupid. Furthermore, it is almost always a guess.
True story: A man emailed the church complaining that a line in our doctrinal statement was in error.
Turns out it is a quote from the Bible.
Moral: Before you complain about doctrine, at least know the Bible.
Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that.
Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…”
But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious.
And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either.
So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.
