How dare you! You knew my brother in law died on 9/11!

TIL that home plate umpire John McSherry died on the field during the Reds home opener in 1996

I was 9 years old when this happened and just got into baseball the year before as an Indians fan. I never heard about this at the time, and amazingly went another 30 years before learning about it just last week.

I was reading an article about Marge Schott and this event was one of her infamous episodes where she was mad it happened to the Reds and postponed the game.

Here's a news clip about the event.

How and when does a buyer get prompted to rate a seller?

I've sold 250+ items on Facebook Marketplace, but I'm confused about when buyers actually get the option to leave a rating.

Sometimes when I mark an item as Sold, Facebook asks who purchased it. I'm guessing that's what enables the buyer to rate me, but I'm not sure?

Other times, I mark the item as Sold and it just closes without asking who bought it. Does it matter whether I mark it sold from the Facebook app, Messenger, or the website?

I also feel like I used to get ratings much more often than I do now. Are buyers still prompted to leave ratings?

One more question: I remember being able to rate buyers after a transaction, but I haven't seen that option in at least a year. Was that feature removed, or are there specific conditions that trigger it?

Will 'Sold' listings be deleted in the upcoming Facebook Marketplace purge?

>Older listings will be deleted starting Aug 30, 2026 We'll delete inactive listings 2 years or older. Access your data before deletion begins.

Regarding Facebook's upcoming Marketplace purge...does anyone know if that includes items that have been marked as 'Sold' for more than 2 years? Personally, I like having a record of everything I've sold. I also like viewing other sellers Sold items, which helps me see how legit they are...and vice versa.

I'm all for 'For Sale' listings over 2 years being removed, but I think retaining 'Sold' items has a benefit.

How do catalog lists (ex: MDBList/Trakt) get updated? Are people doing this manually or is it automated?

I'm curious how lists on sites like MDBList or Trakt are automatically updated. I’ve noticed some popular users have lists that refresh every 24 hours or so. Are they doing this manually, or is there some kind of automation behind it?

For example, a list from garycrawfordgc like Latest Digital Releases. How does that get updated? Is he manually maintaining it, or is there some automated process running? And if it is automated, how would someone set up something like that for their own lists?

I'm asking partly out of curiosity and partly out of frustration, as some users’ lists I’ve added to my setup (who claim they update daily) eventually just stop refreshing.

Who are players that hung on for way too long and became an absolute shell of their former selves.

Saw this in r/baseball and thought it’d also make a good discussion here.

Who are players who were once good-to-great, but played for too long and it became kinda disappointing and sad to see?

A couple I can think of, Randy Moss on the Titans and 49ers. And Ed Reed with Houston and the Jets

Is Andy Glaze still a firefighter?

For anyone who follows Andy Glaze, you probably are aware he’s a firefighter (I think his proper title is battalion chief). He often posted Instagram stories of his one man “La Verne Fire Running Club”

I only check Instagram a couple times a week, so I may have missed some announcement he made, but I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a post/story of his from the fire department.

Did he “retire” from that job and is now just focusing on content creation?

Is he on some type extended vacation or sabbatical?

Did the fire department want him to stop making those posts?

I really have no idea. He may have mentioned it and I just missed it.

What are examples of movie productions that went terribly but the movie ended up being a success?

Could be things like a movie going way over budget, constant reshoots, replacing the director halfway through production, bringing in a new writer to rewrite the script, co-stars not getting along, etc.

Even though the production was a complete mess, the movie still ended up being a box office hit and/or critically acclaimed.

What are some good examples?

Need advice on rental car coverage

Looking for some advice to make sure I understand my rental car coverage correctly.

I rented a car through Enterprise for a two week trip in Croatia and Slovenia. I declined all the add-ons that were pushed on to me.

I paid with my Venture X, so that means I have CDW coverage if my car is damaged.

The car rental comes with Supplementary Liability Insurance, and as is stated in Enterprises contract:

> Supplementary Liability Insurance - Third Party Insurance is required by law and free of charge. Coverage limits for third party bodily injury or death cover up to 2,000,000 EUR and for third party property damage, 150,000 EUR.

So between the CDW and included Supplementary Liability Insurance (SLI) I should be pretty covered, correct? Damage to my car from an accident, damage to a third party car, or injury to a third party, I’m covered…right?

The lady at the Enterprise counter was really pushing hard to the ”extra” insurance add-ons and was really giving me all sorts of horror stories of what will happen if I don’t get it. She would not take no for an answer when I told her about the CDW and included SLI…altho she finally relented.

Am I missing out on something? Or was the sales person just trying to make a commission?

ELI5: The different versions/translations of The Odyssey book.

I am looking to read The Odyssey before the Christopher Nolan movie comes out in a few weeks.

I understand there are multiple variations/versions/translations of the book by different authors.

I'm wondering the reason for this. How does one translation of the story differ from others? Are they all using the same source or different ones? Where do these sources come from?

What was the tastiest‑looking food item in the show?

Not talking about a whole Sunday spread, I mean one specific dish, sandwich, dessert, appetizer....whatever.

Carmela’s baked ziti, Artie's rabbit, grilled cheese off the radiator, the gabagool/provolone/vinegar peppers sandwich Tony throws away.

What's your pick?
