They could implement the mercy rule in MLB -- a 12-run or greater deficit in the 7th inning or later gives the losing team the option of forfeiting the remainder, to save their pitching staff. Using position player pitchers only unfairly inflates hitter numbers

I went from zero all the way to Extra in the same sitting. Best to get them all out of the way right at the start -- then you can operate all bands all modes.

I'm not opposed to the technology in and of itself (I was an only-child latchkey kid and was sort of raised by the television set) but I do agree that social media -- yes, to an extent, even this one -- is destroying minds.

Funny that that's what they used to say about television. The Boob Tube. At least they weren't carried around in one's pocket, I guess...

I think everyone gets nostalgic about the 80s and 90s now. However, I remember having to fight my way through lines of floppy-socked platform-shoed ganguro teenagers waiting at phone booths to send coded messages to their friends' pocke-bells...

Are they 13-year-old pubescents? This is something I'd expect schoolboys to say.

It was either 7 or 5, I can't remember, but I've never heard 9, so I've never been able to say, "hey you signed my hat in Tokyo"

This was at a Tokyo hamfest. They were part of some contesting team visiting and giving out souvenir hats. It felt like I was getting the autograph of a cricketer or something. I end up hearing TWO similar callsigns on the air later, but never that specific guy

I have worked LY4A and LY7A before. , I also met LY9A in person, who signed a hat for me, but I've never seen him on the air. I work everyone but the hat-signing guy.

Marjorie Taylor Ghoul posted a pic of herself behind the trigger of an assault rifle literally minutes after the news broke.
Why is she even allowed into the Capitol at all.
