Just allow for overrunning every base like 1st base and do the double wide half orange base to give the runner a lane through. I will die on this hill.

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:Spotify has been silently gobbling up podcast networks for the last year or two and letting them keep their original branding to be some sort of imprint label while turning into their exclusive distributor. Is it possible that this is related to why some podcasts I listen to refuse to download in certain locations but will work when I get on a different wifi? Probably not but I have been at a loss to explain this and its difficult to google for so I figured I'd try.

AndrewP posted:I would Patreon that so fast. This isn't exactly what you want but if it helps, David Roth does a podcast with Jeb Lund in which they review Hallmark movies. It's surprisingly funny and entertaining. Called "Dave and Jeb Aren't Mean". Basically Roth is in my S-tier of content creators along with Jon Bois in which I will watch/listen/read anything they produce.

MourningView posted:his big break was as one of the early commentators on Deadspin back when it was a pain to get approved as a commentator and there were fewer of them. Will Leitch thought he was funny and would regularly highlight his comments and let him pitch hit with blogs occasionally. He's also a novelist but I'm not sure how much overlap that has with his online stardom.

I got a pretty bad concussion last night and am still sort of piecing things together and gradually feeling like myself. From Drew's Defector article:quote:It’s a hell of a thing to wake up inside a mind you don’t know, especially when you’re still under the impression that it’s the same mind you always had. I felt this acutely even though I was only thinking a little foggy and sporadically skipping some short term memories. That must be terrifying to go through his experience.

I love The Distraction but mostly because I will listen to anything Roth does up to, and including, his Hallmark Movie Review podcast he cohosts with Helldump alumnus Boniface.

I only know about Thunder Bay because its one of like 5 cities you can direct flights to out of this cute little airport in Toronto that is actually on the lake. It's called Billy Bishop airport and you have to take a ferry to get to the concourse.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:haha Billy Bishop has flights to 20 or so places now and there's an underground pedestrian tunnel as well. It is definitely a better airport experience than Pearson though. Oh wow, I lived in Toronto for a year in 2015 so things have changed. It was always so much better than Pearson since it did fly to Boston and was so easy to access from downtown.
