I also feel like a lot of hotels advertise as having queen beds that are really full sized beds. My wife and I used to have a queen sized bed at home, and when we’d travel and book rooms with two queens, one for our kid, the bed was markedly smaller. This happened all the time. We have a king sized bed now so I’m less convinced in my ability to gauge the difference but there’s got to be something there.
Just me?
@tron - in Whitefish for work and had dinner tonight at the Great Northern.
I’m sure I looked like a total idiot trying to figure out where the NLU sticker was at the bar 
It’s like if Ed Hardy got a country club membership.
he’s def the type of guy of a certain age who owns tons of GFore and tells you about how good [insert celebrity brand here] tequila is while sitting on the club patio after a round
Edit^^^^ if Ed Hardy got a legacy membership
A couple quick questions here halfway through newest episode:
@Tron How are these H&B shorts when it comes to the pending #SwampAss season? As a FL resident, you can understand the grind here in New Orleans for 40% of the year.
@Randy Curious to hear more about the most recent news on housing in your neck of the woods. I was recently updated about the abysmal dorm situation that apparently exists for Vail employees and am worried about the #LiftieLifers & Townies we all know and love. Unrelated, but Masters of the Air is outstanding.
In an era of roll-backs, what would the Seamsters think about roll backs in baseball? With Perfect Game banning hot bats and pitchers blowing their shit out left and right trying to #sendit every pitch, I’d be down for a version of baseball with shorter mounds, “deader” balls, and an increased focus on Billy Bean baseball. As a pitcher, closer to home may be too sketchy but “what if?”
@Randy Jayden McDaniels. Tomato, tomahto.
Also, you are gonna love Wittenmeyer. He is an absolute menace.
think they’ve got to do something to protect pitchers. the pursuit of maximum velocity and movement is blowing out arms way too early.
I know this sounds simplistic but just require baseballs to “implode” or break when a maximum velocity is reached.
What does this mean?
Interesting to think about what baseball and golf would look like if launch monitors were never invented.
You can’t beat that Safeway story.
Forget who it was and can’t find the thread on Twitter of course, but saw a vet pitcher talking about this recently. He was basically saying when he came up, nobody would throw from the end of season until spring training, maybe a few bullpen sessions and catch, but not on a mound at 100% effort.
Now nobody takes an offseason. They’re going full bore and always working on new pitches and changing stuff up. They take no rest until they blow out their arm and have to get TJ.
Was that Dan Haren? I kinda remember him saying something like this
Finally found it, Alex Wood.

I also saw a breakdown I think earlier this morning (it was on twitter and I have no chance of finding it again), that was essentially “these injuries are actually happening at about the same rate since 2014, it’s just happened to way higher profile people this year”.
I can’t tell if “turn baseball into something like exploding powder golf ball” is legit or not but I would support.
