No problem with that. See post# 10
That fog game last night in Wrigley was something else. Hopefully Roark can keep up his strong performances today. Go Nats!

Funny, where I've watched it seems that the only ones interested are former US Marines and Army vets.
When I first tuned in it was the second inning and I thought there was something wrong with my TV because the picture was so fuzzy!
Tanner’s turning into our Ace this year! Go Nats!
Same here, closest I recall to that was some games in SF and all the fires that year in Colorado. Of course the Nats couldn’t manage a few deep lazy fly balls when it was at its thickest.

Also being a scientist, I use metric all day. But metric is not more precise nor is it more accurate.
AND the concept that it is not more convenient because it works on a decimal system is false. It is very rare that one switches from mm to cm or anything of that nature. No basic constant , such as the gravitational constant, is a 10 or such; so you are never multiplying by ten. The metric system is based on just as arbitary of standards as the british system.
You may be interested in knowing that it was Nepolean the commisioned the developement of the metric system. Who needs something Nepolean commisioned? I refuse to call the British system the imperial system. Only a socialist would call it imperial system.
There is nothing wrong with the british system. You might also be interested in knowing that major companies still use the british system such as Boeing and Sikorsky.
“Metric system: disagree.
As a scientist, why stick with a dysfunctional way of measuring things when an objectively better system is available?
Perhaps stupidest of all is our present (non)system of using “normal” for measuring some things and metric for measuring others.”
I used to be anti metric system. Then I got my electronics engineering degree!
My wife made me come back in before the cops came.
I really don't remember, that's just what my wife told me and there are big dents in the roof of my car.
Now I'm wishing I would have trashed my neighbors car. ..and my head still hurts.
Face masks and mouth guards maybe the answer to soccers problem of gnawing on an opponents body! :^}
When a person chews on another , maybe the brain is already in trouble! :^}
Nothing personal!
I played it safe and took a taxi home later. Now I have to figure out what to do with this taxi in my garage.
Nope. The system was established in April, 1795. Napoleon was just another mid-rank army officer. He didn't come to power until 1799, becoming Emperor in 1804.
Lol, why is that? Because you have ten fingers?
Guess which system is better suited to binary calculations.
I grew up with the metric system and was taught in school about it. I have absolutely no idea about the British system.
There are 10 kinds of people in the word, those who understand binary and those who do not.
Same here. I love soccer too and like watching the World Cup. I also love most other sports too. Could not care less about what someone else thought.
I don’t care enough about Soccer to hate it. That said, I am happy that the US has advanced this far.
I am a huge Nats fan too. They better do well this weekend against the lowly Cubs. Have not started out well.
Mr. Thiessen looks like quite the athlete. (sarcasm)
