During WWII, between 150,000–250,000 aircraft were lost across all parties. Today, the global active fleet—commercial, military, and general aviation—is roughly 200,000 aircraft.

The scale of this war is simply unimaginable to me.

Why is there so much talk about gentrification on this subreddit when Mexico City only has a 4% foreign born population? For comparison NYC is 37% and L.A. is 39%. CDMX is only diverse compared to Tokyo and Shanghai where immigration is outlawed essentially.

The Rockies paid Bryant $182,000,000. His career now over, and likely will never play again. If he does, it clearly will not be in any meaningful way. He played barely a full season of games in his 4 years with us so far and his health has declined substantially. Prayers for his health, god knows he can afford the best medical care on the planet.

The Rockies also paid Arenado $51,000,000 to play against us for another team over the last 4 years.

Their combined $233,000,000 salaries from 2021-2028 represent over 25% of our payroll….and gave us a negative WAR when they played and an infinite black hole because combined they will have played about 162 games costing us $1,438,000 per appeara

Ohtani, Judge, and Harper all make less than half of that per game.

Over the course of 3 years he’s played less than a full season worth of games. His slash line is .259/.337/.424. He has a combined WAR of 2.7 during his tenure.

We’ve paid him $78 million and still owe him another $104 million more through 2028.

And here we are sitting at 1-3 and Monfort has just offered Bud Black essentially a lifetime contract so long as he owns the team.

Was on a 7am from RSW to IAH and I always sit in the window. Today I had one too many coffees and needed a break about an hour in. The lady next to me, I was 3A and she was 3B, was sleeping and I gently tapped her shoulder and apologized for the bother. She groaned and made a half cocked effort to move her knees to the side wanting me to squeeze past her rather than standing. Now I’m a full sized adult male and both of the people in row two had their seats fully reclined. This gave me about 9 inches of space and would require me to pull myself against the seat in front of me. It was annoying for me, and the people in row 2.

When I returned she again moved her knees aside, despite me strugg
