Isn't the point that those things should be decided by a judge, not by a prosecutor?


They look freaky as! But not dangerous at all.


It's okay - you aren't one of the people who would be helped by this article. But some people would be.


The same trick was used in the soundtrack of the new Doom game: http://www.factmag.com/2016/05/30/doom-game-pentagrams-sound...


Cricket deliveries are similar speeds to baseball pitches, aren't they?

Also, outs are cheap in baseball, but very expensive in cricket - so playing more conservatively is optimal.


Yes - 95-100mph is very common in fast bowlers. Also the bounce gives a much larger variety of angles and spins.

Plus the ball is a LOT harder. A lot.


The quality of the ball also becomes very important later in the game. I don't think baseball/rounders has the New Ball aspect.


If I remember my baseball enough (I'm a casual fan) they rotate the balls regularly in baseball to actually specifically avoid that factor.


And the bat is a LOT bigger. A lot.


Oh absolutely, but the game is very very different in so many ways.


Especially for people with the name Daemon.


Even for married couples!


Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't happy with my phrasing. I should have just referenced a dictionary. MW's sense d is what I intended to convey:

> "a person with whom one shares an intimate relationship : one member of a couple"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/partner


I use that term because its gender neutral and relationship neutral. I find it irrelevant to a discussion whether we are married or not, or a member of the LGBT community or not. However I don't hide my gender or my partner's gender (ie. I use he and she forms due to practical reasons).


I have always assumed "partner" either means "business partner" or that the person is signaling both (1) "I'm gay" without being overt and (2) "I'm resent society's prevailing idea of marriage." at the same time.

One can use "spouse" or "significant other" to avoid the perception of being passive-aggressive.


I'd encourage you to give others the benefit of the doubt. Without other evidence, that "perception of being passive-agressive" is only that, a perception.


Those terms work as well, but the term "partner" translates 1:1 in my native language so I can use the term in my 2 main languages. YMMV.
