Yeah that makes sense. Used to be my TJ's. A great one to walk to and not drive to

Toronto on the AL North while Minnesota is in the AL South is hilarious

I'm reading The Republic for Which it Stands right now and it's so interesting to read about the incompetence and corruption of the railroads in that time period.

A mistake by ICE put her husband in jail. She got him back 3 weeks later. Cheikh Fallโ€™s asylum case was open and on track when ICE agents arrested him at the Chicago Immigration Court in June.

A mistake by ICE led a man to be locked up away from his family for three weeks. Story in @chicagotribune.com by Sophie Levenson

Any local (to Minnesota) distillery or whiskey you want to shout out?

xBA and catch probability describe the event from different points of view. xBA (for describing the hitter) says how often a ball with similar trajectory would be a hit. Catch probability (for the fielder) says how often a fielder starting in his same position would catch that ball.

Can you say a little more about this letter? I.e. who it's from or the story behind it? I can't find much context anywhere online

The Bandwagon podcast started 5 years ago??? Time is crazy. And yes it was a great show. Loving the newsletter now

What a great surprise to hear a familiar voice from @footnotinghistory.bsky.social in this episode! Love when my favorite podcasts crossover

Do you mind posting the article/newspaper name that this excerpt is from?

What show are you talking about? I might be stupid but I don't see a title referenced in these threads and it's getting to me

Yes, I suspect the boxes aren't producing enough heat to turn water into steam. But depending on the temperature change of the water, you might be able to bring that heat somewhere useful! You have to recover enough energy to move the water too, so it may not be easy. But I think possible!

Yet another fantastic episode in a fantastic podcast series. I highly recommend The Siecle podcast to anyone interested in the revolutionary/empire period of France who is curious about what happened next!

When times get tough you have to make the hard choices, like letting your part time servant go

Utah not showing up for the Utahraptor surprises me! How is there not a sports team named after it

In this episode you use the phrase "frankly incensed". Is that a play on "frankincense" or am I just in the holiday spirit?

I think the saying "If there's zero waste, then you're spending too much money preventing waste" applies here.

This is precisely the type of room I hope my history podcasters would have in their homes

Are you saying they weren't trying to mimic Fangraphs' style?

It makes me cringe to suggest those places sometimes, but what if that place really was overlooked? I'd hate to not suggest it just bc the person may have already searched there
