#MLB #Baseball

The Los Angeles Dodgers won game 5, and with it, the World Series. The New York Yankees blew a 5 run lead mostly because of errors. Dodgers' first baseman Freddie Freeman did not hit a home run tonight, as he had in the previous 4 games (plus his last 2 World Series games when he played for Atlanta Braves ... so 6 in a row). I still expect him to win MVP (most valuable player).

This seems weird to me. People shouldn't be making announcements at a voting location, other than instructions about how to operate the voting machines.

"This person is a first time voter!" is roughly equivalent to "This person is a [insert ethnic group/ gender / sexual preference / age group] voter" or maybe even "This person is a [insert political party] voter". In that announcing this could potentially subject the person to undesirable pressures to vote for or against particular candidates or issues.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong. ;-)

Check out their Matrix rooms and you'll see what I mean.

Looks like typhoon Kong-rey is going to hit or pass close to Taiwan today. I think this is around the 3rd typhoon to hit the island this year.

Grandson_3 was watching it on Ventusky this morning.

Jill Stein is one of those politicians who was shown to have received funding that came from Russia. I consider her to be compromised, and thus I wouldn't vote for her

I was reading some articles on the MLB site. For a team that wins the first two games of the World Series (or three of the first four games ... such that they lead by two games), 80% of the time, they win the series. Up to now, a team that wins the first three games has so far won 100% of the time.

These two teams have some special history. The last two times the Dodgers and Yankees have met in the World Series, in 1978 and 1981, the team that won the first two games lost the next four (and the series).

Right now, Los Angeles Dodgers have won the first two games against the New York Yankees. It is currently LAD 4, NYY 0 top/6th in the third game.

Watching a YouTube video about tropical weather and an ad breaks in: "My husband's d*ck is nine inches, even though he's sixty-three years old ..." before I could click "skip" ... What the f*ck is Google/YouTube thinking?

I don't want my five year old grandson seeing that sh*t. I don't even want to see it myself.

Currently, the Google CyberSecurity, IBM Backend Development, and DataCamp trainings are all covering the #Python language. Also, this particular DataCamp course is much easier to understand because it is just the Python language without all the data science stuff.

I'm really surprised that UK schools don't have filtering requirements. Typically, school issued tablets and Chromebooks are going to get some sort of content blocker, where personally-owned devices are not.

So among all the other reasons they shouldn't be doing the "use your own phone" in the classroom, there's that.

RE: https://noauthority.social/@inscius/113372709312316825

When I was in school, my family qualified for reduced-price school lunches (not zero-price "free" lunches). When I got to high school, the formula changed, so for a couple of years, I rarely had lunch ... but the food had also changed, so lunch was often disgusting. We're talking roughly half a century ago.

Yes, the US had (has) families where for whatever reason money / food ran out before the month ran out and some where they can't always afford school lunch. We try to give limited assistance for the sake of the kids, while trying not to reward mismanagement or incompetence. I think we likely do a poor job of both, but that's probably built in once you have sufficient population and area.

(Here's where someone will want to jump in with some anti-capitalist saying. To that person I say keep it to yourself. Humans have never yet had a system deployed to a large and diverse group of people over a large area that handled both of those things well while still allowing people to have individual choices. Therefore, if you think "You don't hate Mondays, you hate capitalism" is anything other than ignorant, you need to read some accounts of people's lives under the USSR and its hostage states.)

  @justinerickson @viking We had free school lunches for a very long time in Sweden. In my fathers time (30s), they had not, except for the poorest children.

And it became so profitable simply because there wasn't any alternative or competition available at the time.

@fu Newspapers were in decline in the US before the Internet was publicly available. Things were so bad that a law passed allowing papers in certain large cities to consolidate their back-end operations with their competitors as long as the editorial and marketing remained separate.

And where those weren't approved, Major cities became single-paper towns.

Example: in 1984, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner closed, leaving the Los Angeles Times as the sole large paper. LAT became the most profitable paper in the country for a few years, as it got all the advertising funds that would have been split across papers.

It happens. I ran out of wine several decades ago. I've never bothered to restock.

In Grandson_3's game: the team has one player who knows how to play the game. He scores all the team's points. He scored several times, and the team was in the lead until the last 3 minutes, when the other team's best player figured out how to prevent this team's best player from scoring. (The other team's best player was quite a big bigger.)

I thought the league was six-and-under, but based on the size of a couple of players I saw today, I suspect it is eight-and-under. Most of these players are three to five years old, so these kids really dominate the game.

Today's peewee sports: In the game before Grandson_3's team played, one team scored over 30 times to the other team's 0. Fortunately, they have a mercy rule that capped the lead at 10 points, so the final score was 0 to 10.

I saw comet 2023/A3 last night about 20:00 US-Central. It was great! The comet was faint, but my peripheral vision picked up a long streak and then I was able to pick out the head. I'm planning to try again tonight with one of the grandkids.

Binoculars gave a decent view. The phone camera didn't pick it up.
