It should go back to the original usage for HR and fair/foul at wall. They destroyed plays at the plate with like 8 rule changes in the meantime. ABS is making already insufferable people even worse. But hey, at least you can gamble on every aspect of it.

The infield fly rule is about effort relative to infielders, not about the location of the ball or who makes a play on it.

My dad invited another Brian Curtin to his GitHub private repo when my account is the oldest and most simple name—briancurtin—so it almost certainly sorts first. Plus, my avatar is a picture of me, same as the one here. Some other BC is going to end up in his will.

The state's job board that people on unemployment are required to be on lists me as a _strong match_ for a "Retail Associate" job at BEER KEG DEPOT (caps theirs) four hours away. Seems fine. 8 hour commute for a part time job after a 20 year career in software. I'm in.

This rules. I used to have my dad’s catchers gear that was these colors. The shin guards held up well enough that I actually used them for a bit when I was 10 or so. The chest protector was pretty worn out.

I’m listed as the agent for Michael Foord (RIP) in a Disney procurement system that I occasionally get emails about 14 years later. He gave a talk there but it was a hassle to pay him in the UK, so I took the tax hit and PayPal’ed him.

I accidentally clicked a "Lengthen" option on a single bullet point of text in an Adobe InDesign document (which currently contains maybe 300 words of text), and 15 minutes later it still hasn't produced a replacement option that it tells me will be 1.2–1.5x the length. Great, thanks.

Why does the plate umpire even go to 3U here??? Not even close, and not requested (at least visually). I guess maybe he asks while tagging? On a third strike with a runner on there is some urgency, but it’s a clear “ball, no!” Own the call. This one is not hard on its own. No idea what 3U is doing.

The board consists of three semi-literate car dealers who were the state’s top GOP donors. Their top priority is fighting wokeness in the Potato School by putting up a statue of the confederate general who owned the largest potato farm in the state in 1859.
