@ProudCanadianAthiest The US is the only place where the National Anthem is played before the start of a game. You go to a game anywhere else in the world and this nationalist fervor is lacking. Same fervor is present in Olympics. Notice the rah-rah from US participants and less so from everyone else.

@ProudCanadianAthiest Been saying this for awhile as teams are from Canada and US but it has changed quite a bit as the players come from many parts of the world (though Europe, Africa lack the representation)

Major League Baseball aka MLB is praying and hoping that the World Series is between Dodgers and NY Yankees as it will be a major TV audience. Any other team combination will be a bust... #baseball #Sports

@northernbassist Reminds me of Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights. Pat Benatar did her version and her voice does more justice to the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7pI_vThx8I

@northernbassist Love the comparison

@peeppeepcircus Wondering how climate change will affect housing prices in Lake Tahoe area...skiing is an expensive hobby tailor suited for those that can afford it. Mountain biking brings in a different crowd...

Interesting: A historic ski area on Lake Tahoe’s west shore will not open or operate this coming ski season. Sales of lift tickets and season passes have plummeted significantly in recent years, prompting the owners to rethink the business. #Climatechange #business #California #snow https://www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/article/tahoe-homewood-ski-resort-closed-19832411.php and https://archive.ph/l2L3P

Original song artist vs song covered by another artist. There are times that cover song is better than original. One great example is Roy Orbison's Blue Bayou and Linda Ronstadt's interpretation. Which version is better or they are both good? #CoSoMusic #Music

Google Chrome has begun to phase out uBlock Origin. The change comes as Google Chrome migrates to Manifest V3, a new extension specification that could impact the effectiveness of some ad blockers. uBlock Origin has launched uBlock Origin Lite, which uses Manifest V3, in response to the transition. #adblock #security #ads #google https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/15/24270981/google-chrome-ublock-origin-phaseout-manifest-v3-ad-blocker

@NorthernInvader Ha...this made me belly laugh. Buttigieg is quick witted and funny.
