They REALLY want you to buy a package at mlb.tv We had it one season, and it was nice, but we have better things to spend money on.
Fox broadcasts a game every Saturday, and mlb.tv offers up one Free Game most days (new this year the Free Game is on Amazon Prime Video also). I think people with cable with ESPN might get a few more games. I remember back when I had basic cable we got many Cubs games on WGN.

I've had two memorable wasp encounters: once I was stung by a wasp on a motorcycle and once on a bike.
How those wasps got on those vehicles I'll never know! </groucho>
But seriously that sucks. Trying to maintain control of a motorcycle and slow down with one hand while simultaneously pounding your chest in a unsuccessful attempt to squash the wasp that has flown in your jacket with the other and not crash is an experience I'd rather not repeat.
Once on the bike the wasp flew into my helmet vents. Not nearly as dicey but it still took a minute to stop and remove my helmet.
In conclusion I'll see wasps in hell.

In 2007 I was descending into Watkins Glen during the end of one day of the Bon Ton Roulet. Bee hit me in my groin area and stung me, about 1' from a vital organ. Fortunately, the stinger didn't penetrate deeply. A ride worker gave me a baggie if ice to put down my shorts.

I stubbed my baby toe day before yesterday. In such a way that it took the entire nail. When I got up the courage to cut off the remainder, yesterday, I found the complete nail still intact; what came off was the top part of the tip of the toe. That would explain the lack of severe, sudden pain. It's seriously difficult to bandage that particular toe, so I'm just gonna stay off it for a day or two. Also, bare feet is relatively comfortable, but shoes or sandles are not. It's soaking in epsom salts as we speak.

But, that would cost you way more than the price of a Peloton. Maintenance charges alone would likely break you, and they go on virtually forever.

Mayflies are weird:
Mayflies spend an entire year in freshwater in what's known as a nymph stage, in which the insects already look much like their adult forms but don't actually do anything. After that year, the insects fly off to find a mate, lay some eggs, and promptly die. As Poinar explains, mayflies don't really have the option of living a long life:

"After their mating flight mayflies are usually dead by the end of the day. There's only one thing they really care about on that one eventful day, and it's not eating. They don't even have functional mouth parts."
Mayflies might just have the saddest, most perfectly evolved existence of any species (gizmodo.com)
