There’s ZERO reason for travel ball at 8, 9, or 10. Play Little League, develop, and have fun. If I could do it again, I wouldn’t recommend travel ball that young. I’ve seen too many kids burned out by high school. Agree or disagree, that’s my take.

My coworker's mother passed away last November.
She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.
He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.
Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.
Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.
He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.
The caseworker sighed and told him:
"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."
He offered to pay a monthly settlement.
They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.
A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.
You don't own generational wealth.
You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Last night my wife, who is the sweetest woman alive, told a group of teens to back the fuck up and shut the fuck up.
They had been cutting people in the line we were in, talking shit in Spanish (which my wife speaks) and standing uncomfortably close to us and our son for most of the time spent in line (which was over an hour)
They coughed on her neck and she lost it. Turned around said some shit in Spanish to let them know she’d understood them the whole time and then told them to shut the fuck up. Said it like five times lol and they did.
I realized something during my uncontrollable arousal… I was fully prepared to beat the shit out of all of them, guys and girls. If they had pressed the matter I had already mentally committed to folding them all up.
In other words: if things get physically violent when I am with my wife and son, I will beat the shit out of everyone. If a chick fights my wife, she’s signing up to fight me too.

It’s wild that Muslims come to the United States just to debate Christians, yet if I went to a Muslim country to debate Muslims, I’d be hung from a crane.

drinking cherry juice before bed to improve sleep sounds like advice from a well meaning aunt who thinks fruit cures everything until you read the study showing tart cherry juice increased sleep time by 84 minutes per night and significantly increased melatonin levels in the blood. then it sounds like a $0.75 glass of juice outperforming most over the counter sleep supplements without the grogginess, dependency, or tolerance issues that synthetic melatonin creates
the research was published in the European Journal of Nutrition. older adults with insomnia who drank tart cherry juice twice daily (morning and evening) for 2 weeks showed an average increase of 84 minutes of sleep per night compared to placebo. 84 minutes. not from a pill. from cherry juice
the mechanism: tart cherries (specifically Montmorency cherries) contain natural melatonin at levels significantly higher than most foods. but the melatonin isn't the whole story. tart cherries also contain tryptophan (the amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin) AND proanthocyanidins that inhibit indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO), the enzyme that degrades tryptophan before it can convert to melatonin. the cherry delivers melatonin directly, provides the raw material to make more, AND blocks the enzyme that wastes the raw material. triple mechanism. one juice
- increased sleep time by 84 minutes per night in a controlled study. the magnitude exceeds most pharmaceutical sleep aids without the side effects
- contains natural melatonin at 13.5 nanograms per gram (one of the highest concentrations in any food). the melatonin is delivered in a food matrix that the body absorbs gradually, avoiding the spike and crash of synthetic melatonin pills
- inhibits IDO (the enzyme that degrades tryptophan), preserving more tryptophan for conversion to serotonin and melatonin. the cherry protects the sleep pathway at the enzymatic level
- reduces inflammation by 20 to 25% (measured by CRP and IL6 reduction in clinical studies). inflammation disrupts sleep architecture. reducing it improves sleep depth independently of the melatonin effect
- accelerates exercise recovery: reduces muscle soreness and strength loss after intense training. the anti inflammatory and antioxidant effects operate on muscle tissue simultaneously
- unlike synthetic melatonin supplements (which cause tolerance, dependency, and morning grogginess at high doses), tart cherry juice provides physiological melatonin levels that don't suppress natural production
synthetic melatonin supplements (3 to 10mg) cost $5 to $15 per month but deliver supra physiological doses that suppress natural production over time. tart cherry juice concentrate costs $15 to $20 per month and provides natural melatonin at physiological levels plus the tryptophan protection and anti inflammatory benefits. the juice supports the sleep system. the pill overrides it
drink 1 ounce (30ml) of tart cherry juice concentrate mixed in water 30 to 60 minutes before bed. or drink 8 ounces of tart cherry juice (not concentrate) in the evening. the concentrate is more economical: one bottle lasts 3 to 4 weeks. Montmorency tart cherry specifically (not sweet cherry, not Bing cherry). dynamic health and lakewood organic both make pure Montmorency tart cherry concentrate. $15 to $20 per bottle
a glass of cherry juice added 84 minutes of sleep per night in a clinical study by delivering natural melatonin, protecting the tryptophan pathway, and reducing the inflammation that fragments sleep. $0.75 per serving. no prescription. no grogginess. no tolerance buildup. and the sleep supplement industry selling you synthetic melatonin at doses 100x higher than your body produces hopes you never discover that a cherry does the same job through a system the body already recognizes.

If you were one of the ones bashing the kid from Georgia for this behavior I expect the same from you here!
Yes I was one of those people and this is loser behavior in baseball! It’s the second inning and you haven’t got a HR in 2 months.

Corporations are the bottleneck and the problem!
A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life.
At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday."
He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy.
Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system.
He described a specific moment where he proposed a modification to a Raptor engine component. At NASA, the proposal would have entered a queue. At SpaceX, the modification was machined by the end of the day and tested by the following morning. He watched his idea become a physical object in 18 hours. At NASA, 18 hours would not have been enough to schedule the first meeting to discuss whether to schedule a meeting.
He told an interviewer: "I didn't get smarter when I went to SpaceX. I got faster. The intelligence was always there. The system was in the way."
The difference between SpaceX and NASA is not talent. NASA has extraordinary talent. The difference is the time between a thought and a test. SpaceX compresses it. NASA elongates it. The same engineer produces 10x more at SpaceX than at NASA because the bottleneck was never the engineer. It was the meetings about the meetings about the work.
