  - The owners have been printing money for years. There's no reason for them to not pay their minor leaguers. They get a lot of protections from the - Krusty May 28, 06:36 1

    - thank you! -- nm - loosilu May 28, 06:19
  - YOu know, what, I'm questioning those numbers. I will look closer into it. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 05:26 3
    - OK, I have to dig deeper to get numbers, but Florida is definitely messing with reporting. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 05:31 2
      - I found this article from mid April about a rise in pneumonia deaths in March. -- (link) - Inigo May 28, 05:44 1
        
        I remember that. It's hard to find a source where pneumonia/flu/COVID are all three separated out - which is part of how they're messing with reporting. -- nm* - loosilu May 28, 05:45
  - It's CDC. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 05:23
- Republicans in Pennsylvania hid the fact that their members tested positive and continued to interact on committee - Reagen May 28, 04:58 1

- Hmm, what would they need for a down payment? -- nm - Meg May 27, 22:29
- best part of that is the “similar listings” below it....$6M boat, then the “similar listings” are for boats that look like the $6M boat crapped out -- nm - Flavorize May 27, 22:28 4
  - Yeah ... this one is for the Victoria-Vancouver ferry service that went out of business. -- (edited) - Beryllium May 27, 22:47 3

I think the World Cup idea to finish the NBA season is dead sexy. - Volnelk May 27, 18:37 12
- And bring in relegation! Yes, that's my solution for every sports league. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast May 27, 18:45 11

        It would be nearly impossible to do. -- nm - Krusty May 27, 20:49 2
        
        You'd have to tear it down and rip up the minors. It would also mean an end to college sports. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 05:55 1
        
        It would be such a major change for so many teams, businesses and cities that it's DOA as an idea. It would have needed to be set up long ago. - Krusty May 28, 06:18

  - why doesn't your wife clear out the blackberrys and plant something else? -- nm - Peglegpete May 27, 18:40 2
    - that's what the goats are for. they're super-invasive, and clearing them out of the creek bed would be near-impossible. goats eat 'em, so... -- nm - mafic May 27, 20:11
    - Or make a blackberry pie? -- nm - Dano May 27, 18:42
  - baby -- nm - Beaker May 27, 18:17
