this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Came across a functioning coder today asking if a kilogram was 1000 or 1024 grams.

Yes they did ask, yes they verified, yes they accepted 1000grams.

I swear ten thousand (10,000) years in the future some engineer will "oops, black hole!" cos they began in comp sci and learned kilo=1024 first.

Randy wanted to shake Cal's hand when he came up to the plate, which Cal utterly refused to and led to Randy stating this.

We must always remember that an RL-10 is a convection oven with delusions of grandeur.

Yeah so turns out that with only a few tweaks you can increase the specific impulse of the RL10E-1 from 460.9 to 470.5s.

One of the funny things that keeps happening in spaceflight is that the RL10 just will not die out.

Every time that someone has tried to replace that engine with something better, Aerojet just makes a better RL10.

Anyways you'll never believe what Aerojet did again lol.

Dems in California, Oregon, and Washington have literally nobody but themselves to blame for this.

The Reds were one of the first teams to recognize the danger of these efforts for players and personnel in the cities to which they travel. The team’s human resources department printed identification cards that contained contact information for team support. Anyone not from the U.S. was advised to carry the cards with other, traditional forms of ID.

β€œWe’re just trying to be out in front of it so that our guys are educated and have what they need,” general manager Brad Meador said. β€œHopefully, nothing does happen, but if you were to encounter something we want to make sure that you have the proper identification and everything needed to let people know who you are.”

Suárez said those extra information cards β€œwill help us a lot.” He added, β€œBaseball needs to do that more and more and more.”

... I genuinely have to be impressed by the Reds here apparently on being one of the first teams to help their players+personnel?
