Should machines be used for balls and strikes?
That might still be an improvement over some of the CWS 2021 strike zones, but yeah, we should be able to do better.

2021 College World Series Thread
Given HIPAA, I think we never get the full story about medical issues for legal reasons. Also, I've heard County Healthcare officials mentioned once or twice in this thread. So it's possible the NCAA is not the only entity driving the events.

- Texas projected to win 2020-2021 Director's Cup
I understand your point. But the article references: Retaining all 36 teams will require a large-scale fundraising campaign for Stanford Athletics, and “we will need to ask for the support of the Cardinal faithful like never before,” They still have to find the money. It's not a done deal.- Texas projected to win 2020-2021 Director's Cup
I thought I had read that the rules were changed recently to limit the number of sports that could count towards the Directors Cup. Stanford had a huge advantage in that they fielded 36 teams, compared to Texas' 16 (??). Try competing against competition which can field double the number of players you can. It was a foregone conclusion that Stanford would win. Regardless of the rules changes, things may have leveled out somewhat anyway. Looks like Stanford is going to have to cut back: https://news.stanford.edu/2021/05/18/stanford-continue-11-varsity-sports/- Rich people don't pay much in taxes (now in CR) - ProPublica
Norway has public data on the income and taxes paid by its citizens. From the article: One nice feature of tax transparency is that it discourages tax evasion. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/07/in-norway-everyones-income-is-public-and-so-is-tax-paid/242386/ Take it for what it's worth. But other's have tried this, and other, proposals that are discussed here. I'll bet there's not an idea in this thread that has not been tried by someone, somewhere at some time. I would love to see some data on it.- Fascism, Autocracy, Oligarchy Clearinghouse

Yes, there has been a recent increase in solar activity in the last year. But.... this is just part of the normal 11 year Solar cycle and we are currently just coming off of the Solar minimum between cycles 24 and 25 (the current one). So Solar activity for the last couple of years has been LOWER than the average. Furthermore, the peak of Solar cycles 23 and 24 were LOWER than many of the peaks observed in modern times. We Ham Radio operators love those Solar cycle peaks. The shortwave radio bands really come to life. I wish I was around for Cycle 19 in the late 1950's, which was legendary. There are a couple of different measurements of "solar activity" one of them being the number of sunspots (more spots = more output). Cycle 19 had 129 average daily sunspots. Cycle 24 had only 49. In a nutshell, Solar output is not causing this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_cycles- G7 reaches historic global minimum tax

I'm not on anyone's radar, as far as I know, but if I were, one of my first principles in life would be to ensure I do not cross the border, either via land or air, of someone who wishes me to be dead.- Another Arizona Election Audit

Now the ballots came from South Korea and not the Southeast "corner" of the world? So hard to keep up with changing conspiracy theories.- David Ash is playing Polish Football now
Probably true, but man, if you love the game and someone's paying you anything to play you do it. Here in Sonoma we have (had? Not sure if it will survive the pandemic) a minor, minor league Baseball team (Sonoma Stompers - http://www.stompersbaseball.com/). It's actually a very fun and cheap night out. A few have gone all the way into MLB teams. Most just have a dream. If I recall correctly, those guys make a few hundred bucks a month. They get free meals on game nights, which is almost every night. So there's that.- CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk

A small number of very wealthy individuals manage to convince a much larger number of poorer, uneducated individuals that they are one and the same and then spur them on to do their dirty work for mostly the benefit of the wealthy few.

Maybe, however.... You can do whatever you want cities. You just can't do ANYTHING about it when people don't take the suggestions that medical professionals make. In other words, you can't do shit.
