I just compared the two with the benefit of real speakers that being an adult provides, versus the comparison I made back in college comparing the two on my Saturn coupe’s shitty speakers... coupled with the teenage angst/ambition of wanting to be “deep,” which an acoustic emo-ish cover appeals to.

Whoa. Yeah. Holy shit.

Counterpoint: Acoustic “Everlong” is pretty damn good!

I’m not a parent, so this is all wonderful advice. In the same spirit, can I share a little preview of the last minutes for folks who haven’t been through this (assuming the loved one is at the hospital and already in the care of doctors)?

So you’ve made my point. Whether it’s bar trivia (composed of locals), or Jeopardy (airing in North American Media markets), the breadth of knowledge by participants is going to be mostly confined to a general Western liberal arts education.

Are we sure this is a Berkshire Hathaway mandate? They’re well-known for being hands-off of their acquisitions and letting them continue to do what’s made them successful.

Aside from the funky looking toe box (only funky looking because it actually is shaped like our toes are (i.e. much more room for your big toe than the typical toe box curvature of most shoes), I really dig my Vapor Glove 2 shoes. Zero drop/padding.

Ok, cool. You could also ask trivia questions wherein people have to perform organic chemistry calculations quickly. It’s sort of obvious that “asking questions that are difficult” is easy to do, no? Why not ask people to solve the the Hodge Conjecture? Hey, there’s a trivia question that’s never been asked!

It’s almost like people tend to celebrate in the same way.

Sure, but there’s a fine line to walk. If you just alienate people, you’re as equal an unsuccessful trivia writer as one who writes questions that are semi-easily known (or easily sussed out).

But... Jennings knows a lot of stuff. If he was that guy who’d memorized prices on “The Price is Right” with a zeal approaching ASD hyper-focus, he wouldn’t have lost to Brad Rutter twice.

Maybe I’m too young (not a phrase I’ve used in quite awhile), but was West Virginia ever relevant before Rich Rod?

If Ken Jennings wasn’t an LDS guy, I’m sure he’d have already orchestrated/paid-for that to happen, to take over the franchise as host.

Yes, I had to edit it after the fact (and yet before the edit window closed!) to be “head of government.” The Queen is indeed head of state.

I disagree. Even back then, the song was entitled and spelled “Gangsta’s Paradise.”

She is the head of State, not the head of government.

I mean, you wouldn’t credit someone who responded A New Yorker instead of The New Yorker, if the answer(/question) was about the publication, right? It’s a proper noun, so the article matters.

And that’s an extremely fair criticism.

For some reason, even as my taste has evolved beyond Jimmy Eat World and the “Clarity” and “Bleed American” albums of my high school days, I still attend their concerts when they’re in town just out of pure nostalgia.

For those who are lazy:
