In the first season, the league played a game that was a hybrid of baseball and softball. The ball was 12 inches in circumference, the size of a regulation softball (regulation baseballs are 9 to 91⁄4 inches). The pitcher's mound was only forty feet from home plate, closer even than in regulation softball and much closer than the baseball distance of 60 feet, 6 inches. Pitchers threw underhand windmill, like in softball, and the distance between bases was 65 feet, five feet longer than in softball, but 25 feet shorter than in baseball. Major similarities between the AAGPBL and baseball included nine player teams and the use of a pitcher's mound (softball pitchers throw from flat ground). By 1948, the ball had shrunk to 103⁄8 inches, overhand pitching was allowed, and the mound was moved back to 50 feet. Over the history of the league, the rules continued to gradually approach those of baseball. By the final season in 1954, the ball was regulation baseball size, the mound was moved back to 60 feet, and the basepaths were extended to 85 feet (still five feet shorter than in regulation baseball).

My state has done mostly well. Low poverty but high homelessness. Its a weird problem.

> advocates for the killing of all pittbulls

lol no, breeding and owning them should be banned, nobody advocates for going around and killing people's pets

It makes sense that someone who advocates for the killing of all pittbulls doesn’t even know what a pitbull is. Couldn’t make this stuff up.

Maybe you should go ahead and get off the internet, since those servers are powered by fossil fuels.

This is nice but mom needs to learn how to swim AND how to gauge that waves are too strong for kids to go beyond wasing level.

Time for mom and both girls to get some first aid training so they become more self aware.

Luckily the rescuer found the esky lid otherwise the girl who described her 'struggle to keep her head above water' might have grabbed her and pulled her down in her effort to stay up.

As a mom, my girls would be starting Red Cross swimming lessons as soon as we got home. Hopefully they will learn from this and be able to save others in the future.

Maybe it's just what I fear. My cat's been bitten by a brown snake and that would have killed him without treatment, and it's something I have to worry about him getting into again every time he gets out, yet I'd be way more fearful of a pack of coyotes trying to hunt him.

Parties instead of people. You go tiger not understanding anything.

Oh yeah because everything was going just great before that point. I want to vote out both parties, full of nothing but corrupt lackeys

Ok. So what is peaceful? Glueing yourself to the street "seems" peaceful until you realize you are ruining peoples days or even lives. Is throwing milk on the floor in a supermarket peaceful? Or are you ruining peoples day at work having to clean up your mess? What about throwing paint on a politicians home? Is that peaceful certainly no one got hurt right?

We are on the same page, friend!

Please read what I posted. 😂 strange how this is the actual thing being reported on

I wish you were right! Look up the Willow Project.

As far as I can tell, it sure seems like the amount of protests and the participants of these protest is on the rise and has been for the last decade or so.

So it at least doesn't seem like it is alienating more people than it is fostering.

I agree that the coverage makes it seem like these are just some petulant children who make life bad for the average Joe, but to be fair, the same can be said for practically all protests. So maybe, just maybe, the coverage is biased towards upholding the status quo, and maybe we shouldn't listen to those who wants to uphold the status quo if that is keeping us on the path to climate collapse.

"Protesters risking criminal charges" is the problem. It shouldn't be illegal to protest - even if the problem they're complaining about isn't a big deal to you.

But your numbers are meaningless if half the stuff in the EU and US says "Made in China" on it. We are absolutely a big part of the climate problem.

If the protesters don't get their way, the consequences to humanity will be far more severe than the loss of a few paintings. I'd happily see every old painting covered in soup if it resulted in meaningful climate action.

Yes.
