I tried Deep Eddy on a whim because it was on sale at CVS for $9 less than Tito’s. I kind of laughed in mockery when the label said “distilled 10 times” but holy shit was it smooth. And only $15!

I didn’t know it won the NYT taste test with a consensus, but I do remember reading some other major blind vodka tasting (of which, I’m sure, there’s dozens), where Smirnoff was #2 and beat many of the top-shelf brands, only losing to Belvedere.

Ditto. MMA just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Not when one’s first real exposure to the sport was Cro-Cop at the peak(ish) of Pride.

Wow. Just... I don’t even know what to say. I’ll just shake my head.

This is amazing.

That.

LOL. There are some career verticals that would laugh at this. Anyone in investment banking, big law (corporate NYC law firm work), startup founders, management consultants, medical residents... any of them would kill for those easy hours. Yes, I said easy.

Doesn’t really matter which industry/or job that does this, working for free is never ok.

Show me any other industry where its ok to “make” your employees work for free?

USC in flames is some pretty innovative cross-promotional advertising on ESPN’s part for 30 for 30’s “Trojan War” tomorrow night.

Uh, so I just stumbled across this article as my second from the left toenail (on my right foot) is about to come off — it’s sort of dangling, but still secure somehow — but I can’t bear to just make it happen because the thought is so weird.

Uh, the TV producer isn’t limiting options and forcing a choice between the fewer number. The number of options on a given night remain the same: the news is showing either non-scary news, or scary news.

Lol, the exact same argument applies to “self-anointed.” The term isn’t limited to only circumstances where someone literally rubs oil on them self. I wonder: what’s the r^2 value of you and stupidity? 1?

Nor are statisticians assigned/designated to their professions, nitwit. And given the blind reverence you have for the trade despite clear deficiencies in its practice, “anointed” was entirely appropriate.

For a self-anointed statistician, there’s a pretty glaring error in your analysis. Yeesh.

Good to know that your individual experience renders data from numerous sources (ratings, page views, circulation, click-throughs) a “fallacy.”

Jesus, places in NYC don’t have dishwashers?*

I mean, I do. They’re generally well-reasoned, if I occasionally disagree.

This was super informative (and interesting... which, what?). Thank you.

The scope of what you’re asking for is pretty extraordinary. I mean, I agree with you, in a perfect world where the law isn’t super complicated and utterly different across state lines. But we don’t live in that world.
