Honestly my biggest challenge isn’t even staying on track at times of extreme temptation, it’s figuring out what and how I’m supposed to eat on any given day.

Maybe it would merely expire

So this is probably a really dumb question, but...when a pitcher is really struggling in one specific way (like Verlander giving up multiple home runs in the same inning, or a guy struggling with his command and walking three guys in a row or whatever), why doesn’t he change things up even at the risk of causing the…

Uh, of course it’s okay to judge people by the cars they drive! It’s a window into who they are.

My wife’s 10-year-old Yaris has had a total of two unscheduled, non-wear-and-tear maintenance issues in its life and averaged 39+ mpg on a 2,000 mile road trip, loaded with luggage. Judge away! We're too happy with the car to hear you.

But not recycling.

I remember when Netflix first came out (all DVDs, no streaming) and the prospect of having access to basically every movie ever made was exhilarating. No more being at the mercy of Blockbuster or the local video store.

“An 11-year-old’s idea of what a rich guy does” is hilarious and perfectly descriptive. This guy can’t be for real.

Immoral? Maybe. But explain to me how we could have functional sports leagues that remotely resemble what we have today (where any team in any city can become a championship contender in a few years with a smart front office).

It’s ridiculous to me that regulated gambling is viewed by so many people as a scam, to the point that it’s illegal in many places, while scum like this is allowed to basically defraud people legally.

This doesn't help with peer pressure if you go out with a group, but...my wife and I love wine and I don't think we've ever ordered a bottle. The markup is so insane. If I'm drinking with dinner I'd rather have a cocktail...still marked up like crazy but at least it's something I couldn't have at home without buying…

Good riddance.

Regarding gate-checking: in my experience the airlines won’t charge you to gate-check a properly sized carry-on if bins fill up, so really the only downside is having to wait a couple minutes for it at your destination. Which is way better than checking a bag because it doesn’t take nearly as long as waiting at…

Yes. Plus I would argue that lucking into a hall-of-fame QB gives you at least as much of a leg up as lucking into a LeBron James, with the added benefit of the NFL playoffs being way more random. Get that QB and you can go 10-6 without much around him, and maybe get lucky and win. Get only one superstar in the NBA…

That “Silicon Valley ‘disrupting the game’ shtick” is exactly what annoyed me so much about this team. Look, as the defending champs and owners of the best regular-season record, that stands on its own. But I am automatically deeply skeptical of any team that is supposedly revolutionizing the game or whatever.

Definitely interesting, and maybe the Cubs fans crowing about how this year’s team has a chance at the most wins ever should be happier if they don’t set a record.

Good point. As a Bears fan I feel the same way about Packers playoff losses but I didn’t think of it in the context because I naturally root against the Packers (whereas going into the season I had no opinion on Warriors vs. Cavaliers, etc).

Obviously in Ohio you have to deal with a bunch of bandwagoners, but throughout the rest of the country new Warriors “fans” have that covered. I saw so many pro-Warriors posts on Facebook before the game yesterday from people who live in Wisconsin/Illinois, have no connection whatsoever to the Bay Area, and never said…

Last night is definitely up there for me. And it was the only NBA game I watched in full this year. I follow sports here and elsewhere enough to know what’s going on in the NBA but obviously I’m not a fan by any means. But last night was probably the strongest I’ve felt about a basketball game in almost 20 years.

I said months ago that I couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for the NBA because everyone could tell the Warriors were going to repeat and the NBA playoffs are the most boring playoffs because of it.
