Isn’t it also the only carbon negative country in the world? I think that’s kinda a cooler fact!

Tell these poor kids to avoid cheering for the Rockies. It'll just bum them out.

You aren't then talking about Bhutan.

Saw a Parts Unknown where Anthony was in Bhutan, it looks like a really cool little place. Link to the ep. for anyone interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBNCdf3VsEU&ab_channel=TheDawn

I have met exactly one person from Bhutan in my life. We worked together as Chefs in NYC for about a year. Really cool dude, and I've always wanted to travel there some day after hearing him talk about it so much.

Don’t resist this new game. Stop it with the ohms

If it lands in the Buddha’s bowl is that a home run or an out?

Looks like a scene from a video game.

Why would they choose the most boring game in North America?
Fishkeeper
I imagine it's more fun if you're playing it.
Hashbrown123
Yeah, watching and playing are very different.

they didn't, they picked baseball, that's at least fourth place after golf, American football, and lacrosse

Man, I thought busting a window was as bad as it got with baseball as a kid. Busting a Buddha has to be a whole other level...

In my Trek headcanon, Baseball becomes increasingly popular on Bajor in honor of the Emissary of the Prophets, Ben Sisko, and his affection for the game, to the point that a formalized league forms.
Merky600
Didn’t Odo like it because it had a lot of rules? Didn’t he like rules? I can see that.

Cardassia forms a competing league, based on their deep need to prove their superiority in all things.
JTechnopotheosis
Once per season, the top team from each planet compete in a 7 game Galactic Series, to prove who is the truly superior race.
DukeDarkwood
It will called the Galactic Series, despite 90% of teams being from the Federation.
AdmiralLightningrod
It is now known as GALACTIK BASEBALL! Intro kicks in..

Over the decades, the players bond over a mutual love for the game, bringing their peoples together in a spirit of friendly competition.

In the end, baseball does what war and politics never could: end the cycle of racism and violence between the two worlds.

And continue the rivalry with the Vulcans!

You’re getting downvoted, but I think this is exactly the attitude that the use of “remote” implies.
oldmanwalker
Travel was banned up until recently, and they don’t allow any outside influence, except baseball
Hulser
Remoteness is a function of distance, not level of restriction. East Germany was not remote to West Germany.
Muffinburgler
They got their first television station in 1999. That's what they mean by remote. Socially reclusive.
GoodChange
And that tv didn’t even come with a remote
DukeDarkwood
Distance can be measured in terms other than the physical space.
Krakencrotch
According to which dictionary? https://www.dictionary.com/browse/remote
DukeDarkwood
I', talking about 'distance', here, not 'remote'. But the answer is still Merriam-Webster: iam-webster.com/dictionary/distance">https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/distance - But even your link, the dictionary.com definition of remote, includes "secluded" as part of its definition.
Goddesahpan
Not a native speaker, but "Florida, the most remote state in USA" doesn't quite sound right
DukeDarkwood
Of course, Hawai'i would be the most remote state, anyway. But even in the contiguous 48, I feel Maine might be farther from the geographical center (a point in Kansas near its border with Nebraska) than Florida.
SergeyPrkl
Also, if you aren't allowed in, it is basically more remote than Antarctica.
