> Two players used the bats I'm not convinced how much of the offensive onslaught was due to the bats either, but all of the sources I've heard/read have indicated that 5 players in the Yankees starting lineup have been us

It's a little bit of inside baseball, but it's been interesting to watch the article's author, Fred Lambert, change his tune about Elon Musk over the years. I'm a car guy so I've been following automotive electrific

Agreed. And my impression is that Gruber is a thoughtful, careful writer. I don't know any details, but he must have a fair number of sources within Apple too. So when he writes this (uncharacteristic for him) piece just excoriating

I don't think enforcing the law is the problem so much as the reaction. Why is she jailed rather than simply placed on one of the daily nonstops from Sea-Tac to Heathrow?

I feel like I've thought a lot about ads on the internet recently, and I hate the way things are, but I'm no closer to a realistic overall solution. I've used an ad blocker for a while because I'm tech savvy and I know I

It's true that the best camera is the one you have with you. I've definitely carried "real" cameras much less in the ~2 decades since I've gotten a smartphone than the 2 decades prior. I still use a "real&quot

Good science reporting here - rather than hysterics or speculation, or adding "color" from random folks, they just talk to an expert and explain things in detail.

There's certainly a part of me that wonders if Altman incorrectly assumes last year's rules still apply, when in fact he just ensured retribution from the man who counts all three branches of the United States government as his un

Eh, common usage often precedes official changes. I grew up thinking there was a US state called "Rhode Island", and finally in 2020 that became the reality. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election&#x

It feels like we've been tip-toeing in the direction of multi-host Olympics. For the Paris Olympics, the surfing was on the other side of the world in Tahiti (French Polynesia). The LA Olympics bid decided they didn't want to buil

I have a long-time friend who, after years in fintech, now sometimes speaks this way unironically in non-work situations. I mean, I still think he's a good guy overall but when he recommends the DND party splits up to maximize ROI on

Or your in-laws watch your Netflix over their holiday visit. Now I can't tell if Netflix has generally worse quality content these days or if it's just recommending garbage to me based on what people have watched on my profile.

I didn't realize streaming services did this. Which ones don't give you the rest of the month that you paid for? I cancelled Hulu recently (not through Apple at all) and they informed me of the date I had service through, and I

That's an interesting hypothesis, but at least in my experience the flights where skiplagging has been viable have always been between 2 major airports, with a flight to a third major airport as the skipped leg. Looking at some exampl
