I've never been to Romania, but their deadlifts make me think everybody walks around with tight hammies.

But how was last summer's harvest? Picking blackberries on someone else's property is the only way to pick blackberries.

I wonder how much the cost of hardware influences software prices. The machine to run that started at $799, which puts it at ~$2,500.

With a name fit for the Pirates, Jeff Parrett’s career took flight in MON. Without a single start, he finished enough games to earn 12 wins in 1988. Then Parrett mimicked those stats with PHI in 1989. His ERA was under 3.00 for both seasons.

88 Donruss has chaw-in-pocket Parrett perched mid-windup.

It's about maps, baseball, and writing.

"What's the difference?!"

I made a map of their birthplaces. They're mostly from the East Coast of the US! The only two from Europe were both born in Germany, which probably says more about their teammates who nicknamed them.

There are 23 former baseball players named "Dutch." And none of them are Dutch by birth. 😆

I have also discovered this on accident. Multiple times!

A few times I've done it on purpose and it's a delight. It even makes the file menu when there's an image on your clipboard!

These admin things... they are real and they are neverending. And they ALWAYS happen off-screen.

This feels like something I have to learn over and over again.

Also helpful to question whether "perfect" is actually so. Often I find this to mean, "what I personally would do in an ideal world where there are no time/money/focus trade-offs."

Starts to make perfect seem crazy.

I pulled this ordinary pitcher from my special baseball card binder to post on @junkcardboggs.bsky.social — my child self was convinced it would be worth something.

Haha, I’m not sure I could have enumerated those commands, but my fingers know them well.
