Do baseball matches routinely take place in front of 100% home crowds? Away supporters are an integral part of the Brit footie scene, but the distances in the US are so vast - presumably people don't fly around the country to support their team, so the crowd would typically be 100% 'home'. Or do they?

Ok. That's disgusting. We wash ALL the floors in our house every other week. It's called cleanliness. You should try it sometime.

He has your back? You have to be kidding. He's the first one to stab you in the back as soon as your back is turned. Wake up dude.

Sorry, I've just noticed that you are in Northern NJ. Do Americans do irony?

Maybe a curious one?
Why do American 'conventional' trucks have such small cabs/ compared to the width of the track?
Ie; the archetypal Peterbil 359/Kenworth W900
Surely they can be made wider, even if it means altering the iconic styling (exposed fuel-tanks, etc...)
From what I've seen, there must be more room - discounting the sleeper - in the average pick-up

Why do baseball players compete in their pyjamas?

If they were competing in someone else’s pyjamas it’d be a very different kind of sport

Same way as those wearing wet suits for diving. At least most neoprene dry suits have pee zips. Just remember to zip it up again before jumping back in water. I have seen the results of forgetting.

Why would you want to sleep with a supermodel stuffed with banknotes? On a mattress or anywhere else.

To be fair, it would take a lot of banknotes to persuade a supermodel to sleep with me!

Jolene from The Queen’s Gambit (on Netflix) will take this one:

The Great Gatsby also has a few things to tell us about this subject. Unfortunately I didn’t have a copy of it in the house for a photo op, so this will have to do.
That explains the Garden of Eden new builds the next village over.
I can’t disagree.

I would (wildly) guess that a typical crowd for a far away game would more than 90% but less than 100% ’home’. There are sports fans who literally follow their teams anywhere.
If you don’t mind, I’m going to treat this as a rhetorical question.
For those who don’t know who Danielle is (as I didn’t until about 10 minutes ago), here she is showing off what I assume to be a vintage garment:

Anyway, she was alive and tweeting only a few days ago.
Being strictly utilitarian vehicles, the space for the human driving the thing is only as big as it needs to be, no? Therefore I would expect even smaller cabs in the future. And a very boring remake of Convoy.

Well, it is the field of dreams.
