This guy calls that music “noise”. That’s priceless.
Well, there's some what's call that noise music!
I've just never cared for that style. It seems well done for what it is, just not my bowl of soup.

I watched this FB reel of sailors boarding their ship.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/618938596920035?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
Before they start trotting aboard they are putting their right hands over their racks. Why are they doing that?

Now, now! Let's not be harsh. I'm sure it was a perfectly legitimate Midnight Stores acquisition.

Another one of the "Wait! He was still alive?" stories. A very, very good actor. I can't quite call him "great" because he sometimes came off as somewhat wooden. I think his best role was

"Noise" is accurate. Only got through half of it. But for it's type of (so called) music it's well done, and she is quite photogenic.

If the MLB authorities say it's a legal bat, it's a legal bat. End of discussion.
NEW YORK – Right off the bat, the Yankees’ “torpedo’’ bats are legal.
“They made sure before they even brought it to us, with MLB, that it was all within regulation,’’ said Cody Bellinger, a day after the Yanks’ historic home run barrage.
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6241862/2025/03/30/yankees-bats-aaron-leanhardt-marlins/
"
Leanhardt, 48, began his work when he was a member of the Yankees’ minor-league hitting department in 2022 and brought it to the major leagues last season when he was the team’s lead analyst, with some players, including shortstop Anthony Volpe, trying them in games. Now, as many as five Yankees will be using them in games at least early this season, according to outfielder Cody Bellinger.
The bats — with their torpedo-like shape — are custom-made to player preferences and are designed so that the densest part of the bat is where that particular hitter most often makes contact with the baseball, said Leanhardt, who became a field coordinator with the Miami Marlins in the offseason.
“Really,” he said. “It’s just about making the bat as heavy and as fat as possible in the area where you’re trying to do damage on the baseball.”

"Goldschmidt, batting leadoff for the first time, opened with a 413-foot homer off Nestor Cortes and Bellinger followed with a 451-foot drive that initially didn’t register with Statcast. Aaron Judge, using a bat with a conventional shape, hit a 468-foot shot that made the Yankees the first team to homer on each of a game’s first three pitches since MLB’s records began in 1988."

At some risk, I ask, Who do you mean, and how?
Europeans/whites, including Slavs, Balkan, Greeks, and the Levant.
How?
Look around your house. How much wasn't invented by the above? How many medical advances?
Compare charitable and humanitarian works by European/whites to those by Sub-Saharan Africans and Asians. Oh, yes, people scream about COLONIZATION!!!! but, in general, that long ago colonization was a net benefit to those areas.

Found on FB:
"I'm sharing some wisdom with all my fellow machinists today. I used to put a dab of grease on the stem of the rout-a-burr blade to lubricate and help keep a smooth rotation while deburring parts. Now that I'm older and wiser I use Neosporin to lubricate the blade. That way when the end of the blade breaks off and I gash myself wide open I am immediately on my way to recovery. Happy deburring my friends."

Yankees v. Brewers.
Bottom of the 7th. Yankees lead 20 to 6. By the 3rd inning it was 13 to 3, and Turner with 3 homers.
Yankees have NINE homers so far. That ties them with the Reds for second in number of home runs in a game. Record is 10 by one team.

Rather unsettling.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11119607/Battle-Waterloo-dead-used-make-white-sugar.html
"The mystery of what happened to the bodies of more than 20,000 men who were killed at the Battle of Waterloo has dogged historians for decades.
Despite the passing of more than 200 years since the Duke of Wellington's triumph over Napoleon's forces in 1815, only two skeletons of fallen men have been found, with the most recent discovery coming last month.
But now, bombshell new research suggests the remains of men and tens of thousands of horses are missing because they were ground down and used to filter brown sugar beet into refined white sugar."

What is the implication for states that require no permit to carry open or concealed? Does a state like California have to recognize the right of someone from a constitutional carry state to carry in California?
If so, could California’s laws be challenged by California residents under the Equal Protection clause?

A British man has been praised for tackling a suspected knifeman to the ground in central Amsterdam.
The tourist, who does not wish to be named, restrained the suspect after five people were stabbed near the Dutch capital's Dam Square on Thursday.
Video of the incident shows the Briton, wearing jeans and a black hoodie, kneeling on his back and twisting his arm until police arrived.
Amsterdam's Mayor Femke Halsema said she was impressed by his decisive action, telling local broadcasters he showed "exceptional" instinct."
Probably doesn't want his name released for fear of being charged with a hate crime when he goes back to the UK.

A friend of mine had one. To keep it in place you had to kind of pinch it with the base of your thumb or tape it to your hand.

Historically it was POWs who did the burying. Or your own yard birds. At Gettysburg the initial burials were those methods, but in fairly shallow graves. Later the bodies were disintered by a paid contractor, who subcontracted with a free man of color to do the work. https://www.militaryimagesmagazine-digital.com/2023/06/03/a-retired-photographer-and-free-man-of-color-join-forces-to-disinter-the-dead-at-gettysburgs-soldiers-national-cemetery/
