I don’t want a light bulb that changes colors, or one that changes brightness, or one I can turn on and off with an app. I just want a regular fucking lightbulb. Turn on; turn off. Is that so difficult to ask?
Paul Foytack put a fastball right over plate that Mickey Mantle destroyed, effortlessly clearing Right Field roof at Tiger Stadium, crossed Trumbull Avenue and landed at the base of a shed in the Brooks Lumberyard across from the ballpark in 1960.
"It turns out that the story of Mickey's historic drive was well known at Brooks Lumber. Paul Borders, a Brooks employee, saw exactly where the ball landed. Dr. Susman and fellow researcher Robert Schiewe calculated the distance through Schiewe's use of the Pythagorean Theorem.
The result was a prodigious 643 feet. This is the longest home run to have actually been measured from the point it was hit to the point at which it landed. Although it was measured after the fact, the point of impact was well-known and we believe this distance to be completely reliable. This is no computer estimate. This is the distance the ball travelled in the air from home plate to the place where it landed. The "Guinness Book of Sports Records" notes it as the longest home run in a major league game to be measured "after the fact." It is the longest home run ever hit in a major league game where it was possible to get the exact measurement."
"Explosion!"

Ladies, how is it you’re able to know when a guy is either checking out, checked out or driving out of the grocery store before you send the “while you’re there can you get such and such” text? You must teach me your ways!
Mac Jones played one of the best games of his career, but self-inflicted errors and a few controversial calls doomed the Patriots in a 33-26 loss to the Vikings.
