Never said it was anything, just giving my opinion.

Pretty simple really. If the cars driven by humans are 85% safe, then 15% of the time, the problem is the human... yes? If driverless cars are 86% safe, then 14% of the time... who's the problem? If the problem is the AI, why should the human be held accountable? If the human isn't, then who is? The car manufacturer? If not, who? Anyone?

This should be music to the ears of the other airlines. Chubbers will start using Southwest, meaning thinner customers for the other airlines.

The one show he did that I did watch was Gideon's Crossing. I liked that show. The rest, I don't recall watching.

National League converted to the DH 2 years ago.

Back to Ohtani, on the field he will NEVER be worth his pay. Next year he won't pitch at all, maybe in the post-season. To some, that may justify the money. The thing is, he's had 2 TJ's in the last 5 years. One more, and he literally may never pitch again. Let's say that based on averages, he's likely to get one in 2027... so he'll pitch ever 6 days (like with the Angels... maybe even less), and hit as DH for the 3 seasons after next. The final 6 years of his deal, he'll be a $70M AAV designated hitter. So, 0% chance that he actually earns his money on the field. Where he'll earn the money (for the Dodgers), is off the field. There, he'll probably be making pennies on the dollar compared to what the Dodgers make. Again, this is why baseball needs a salary cap.

Yup. Prior to becoming a true power presence, Ruth had a total of just over 400 plate appearances and 890 IP over 3+ seasons. In that same time frame, which you may hear people argue is a harder brand of baseball , Greg Maddux had 250 plate appearances 674 IP. I guess Maddux was a great two-way player too.

That was my initial thought... but of course, common sense tells you that the company isn't going to just spend money. They're going to want to keep their profit margin and/or increase it. Hence, the best way to offset extra spending is to increase the price of goods and services. So it's not the company spending their own money, they're just passing the expense on to the customer.

I have no problem with anyone trying, I'm just saying that giving the people the ability to let the car do the driving is recipe for failure. It better be dam near perfect before it's on the market, regardless of who is doing it. If Mercedes has done it, great.

That sucks. I liked that dude. Quality actor. I remember him from Glory, Primal Fear, City of Angels, and a few others... solid actor.

Auto pilot shouldn't be made available to the public at all, until it's been tested to the point where they know (and are willing to be held 100% financially liable), that the success rate is at least 99% safe/accurate.

I'm a conservative and I'm ok with abortion being legal if the person is paying for it themselves AND the woman is 20 weeks or less. Otherwise, no. If my options are unlimited duration and government paying for it, I'm voting for no abortion at all. So yes, I'm in the majority where I'm ok with it in some circumstances... but not others. If I'm forced the options of extremes, which are the only two on the table (politically), I'm siding with no the right and not the left.

Not surprised... because states rights had absolutely NOTHING to do with slavery, until it became a political football much later. The inception of states rights was solely based on having a central government not being able to over step their bounds and control the smaller governments. To think states rights was established to protect slavery is complete ignorance and total incompetence. If your premise on not liking states rights is based on stupidity, I can't imagine any other reasons have merit.

Your leftist masters told you this?

It always amuses me when the left picks and chooses when they want to "believe science".

Without checking, I'm going on record as saying that Joe Burrow + Matt Stafford playoff wins >> the sum of every other QB in the top 15 (excluding Mahomes), over the last 5 years.

The country was founded on religious freedom and the government was built around the separation of church and state, where the government can't force any religion upon you or persecute you from your religion. So, if there are any religious structures inside the state capitol building, then the satanic alter should stay... if there aren't, then it should come down.

Wonder what this guy is going to write next year when the Chiefs have NFL caliber receivers on their team? Honestly, outside of Rice's potential, I don't think anyone on that roster (WR's), belong in the NFL... and they still have an 8-5 record. Mayfield has Evans and Godwin and they're 6-7. Put Mahomes in Tampa, they're sitting in the #1 spot right now... put Mayfield in KC, and they're in the other #1 spot, as in draft order.

Stop while you're behind.

That's the worst argument I've ever heard. LOL

She's not "hot", but she's not ugly. She's rather attractive. I'd give her a 7.

Is that it or was Babe Ruth so great, that he made every other player he played against, look like milkmen and mailmen.

Agreed.

Babe Ruth, being a 2-way player is a massive overstatement even in itself. Ignoring his 2 weeks in 1914, in his first 3 years when he was pitching (1915-1917), he TOTALED 397 plate appearances. This isn't special. There was no DH until the 70's, so every pitcher hit back then. He didn't have any more PA's than the next guy. For example, Red Faber of the White Sox was also playing his first 3 (full years), the same time Ruth, and in those 3 years, he totaled 283 plate appearances. Now, don't take that to mean Faber was just as good. He was a terrible hitter... that's not my point. My point is, during those first 3 years, Babe Ruth was a pitcher who hit in the lineup when he pitched... and not much more. Basically, the extra 100 plate appearances over 3 years essentially equates to 1 PH appearance every 4+ (regular season) games. It wasn't until 1918 where he started to become a bigger hitting focal point... which coincides with him becoming less of a pitcher. In 1917, he had 142 plate appearances and pitched in 41 games, in 1918 he jumped up to 382 plate appearances and dropped down to 20 games pitched. The following year, the transition was complete... he had 543 plate appearances and 17 games pitched. That's it. That's the end. In 1920 he was traded to the Yankees and pitched in 1 game, 2 the following year... throwing only 13 innings total. At no point in his career can you say he pitched like a pitcher and hit like a hitter. In 1918, he was a part-time hitter and part-time pitcher. In 1919 he was a full-time hitter and part-time pitcher. Why do I say part-time pitcher? Because back in that day, pitchers pitched in 40 games a year. Once he went over 200 PA's, he never pitched in more than 20 games.
