An interview with someone who works in a Waymo lot

Current: Anything else you'd like to add?

Robotaxi Handler: If there's some anti-Waymo movement, the best thing to do is to get everybody to poop in one at the same time. That would be the best.

Current: Thank you.

Some of them were pretty egregrious
An MLB.com graphic showing the 7 pitches thrown to Eugenio Suarez in the 6th inning of the game. Pitches 5 & 6 were originally called strikes but overturned and called balls by the ABS system. Pitch 5 is low off the inside corner - a bad call but arguably not egregious. Pitch 6, however, is outside by several inches.An MLB.com graphic showing the 4 pitches (all balls) thrown to Will Benson in the 7th inning of the game. Pitches 2 & 4 were originally called strikes but overturned and called balls by the ABS system. Pitch 2 low off the inside corner and pitch 4 is very low and very inside, a horribly blown call corrected by ABS.

I think even the people who do accept there’s a lot of randomness probably still don’t understand just how much there is. For the MLB playoffs to advance the better team at the same rate as a 7 game NBA playoff series, they’d have to play 75 games. statsbylopez.netlify.app/post/part-ii...
How long would postseason series need to be in
NFL, MLB and NHL to match the NBA's "better team advances" rate of 80%?
Here's what Ben, Greg, and I found.
• In the NFL, a "best-of-11" series is needed to match the NBA's better team advances
rate.
• In the NHL, a "best-of-51" series is needed to match the NBA's better team advances
rate.
• And in MLB, an astounding "best-of-75" series is needed to match the NBA's better
team advances rate.
That is, if we wanted postseason formats to be equivalent across leagues, we'd need the NHL and MLB to do complete, and obviously ludicrous, overhauls.

Lol
An anti-Stancil campaign flyer: 

At the top of the flyer are two Will Stancil tweets.
The first reads “But most people haven’t lost autonomy over their body because of Dobbs, either because they can’t have kids or because they live somewhere where the law hasn’t changed”
The second reads “actual circumstances in terms of access to abortion haven’t changed, this cannot be denied. the prospect exists of future change but it depends a lot on political developments that are fairly distant”

The flyer goes on to say:

After the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, instead of standing up to defend abortion access, Will Stancil downplayed the impact on reproductive care across the US.
With access to abortion and women's rights under attack across the country, it's more important than ever to elect leaders who understand that women should be in control of their own bodies.
Learn more at www.WillStancilFacts.org

The other side of the flyer. At the top are 4 tweets from Will Stancil.
The first says “god, you’re deranged. you really should consider the bleach option”
The next says: “My family and many of my friends in North Carolina and with all due respect, I’d like to request the author of this trash account go walk into the ocean”
The third tweet says “lol are you gonna call my mom”
The fourth tweet says “Hey go guzzle bleach”

The rest of the flyer reads:

Working in the legislature means working with a broad coalition of people.
Representative Frank Hornstein knew how to build bridges and work with people to get things done for *all* Minnesotans.
At a time like this, where tensions across the country are high and MAGA Republicans are using violent rhetoric, our district can't afford a Representative who will risk our hard work by using language that will distract and divide, driving us further apart and further away from the solutions we Minnesotans need.
MN61A needs leadership, not Will Stancil. Vote August 13.

PINE WAS KING
Vast forests of virgin white pine were the treasure which brought the first wave of white settlers to Northern Wisconsin.
The farms
came later. but for half a century
the forests were local history.
In 1847. the Knapp, Stout & Co. purchased thousands of acres of pinelands from the
Government for S1.25 per acre. In 1848 they began logging operations in Barron County and by 1870 the company was sald to be the greatest lumber corporation In the world and the undisputed lord of the thousands of square miles comprising the Red Cedar Valley.
In 1901 the Knapp. Stout & Co. mills became silent as the white pine of the area was gone and the denudation of the arca was regrettably complete.
Today Barron County ranks high in the state' In forestry. but agriculture comprises the main industry of the area.

In the United States during the 1960s, organizations such as the Black Panther Party [401 1411 1421 and Students for a Democratic Society [43]
Panther Party
were known to use the term. In one inter-party dispute in February 1971, for example, Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton denounced two other Panthers as "enemies of the people" for allegedly putting party leaders and members in jeopardy. [411
