If I am drinking in moderation, I have to stop at one because two drinks and then stopping makes me sleepy. Although I don't like parties much anyway and being tired would be an excuse to leave, so...

It's as bad as the people who tell you about the time they drowned as a kid. If you're standing here talking to me, you didn't drown.

Aesthetics aside, what is the supposed benefit of material design? Because it seems to be to be markedly less intuitive to people who are inexperienced with an app and also less usable to everyone. In particular, making it less clear that something is clickable and making everything take up more space than it used to…

I think the general concept makes sense, but for most people it’s really not going to make a huge difference because most people’s income and spending are not so far off. If you’re saving, say, 15% of your income for retirement then you’re still living on 85% of your income. If you’re one of those superhumans who puts…

But the intentional walk to load the bases came when the runners were already on 2nd and 3rd, and the walk prior to the wild pitch that scored the tying run wasn’t intentional. A wild pitch at any of those times would’ve scored a run; it’s not like 3rd base was empty prior to an intentional walk.

Yeah...I read the headline and thought this was going to be about a guy who regularly says really horrible things. Maybe this guy really is a homophobe, but if those examples are the best you can come up with, then I think you’re stretching it. (The crack about the lesbians is really a statement on their…

I was 100% opposed to the Bennett trade until now. Taking a ridiculous shot at your former QB (by no metric is Cutler anywhere near the worst QB in the league now) for no reason whatsoever? I can only imagine what a pain in the ass it must have been to work with that guy.

And John Fox’s brilliant plan is to get rid of any skill player who might help them. Matt Forte? Let him walk even though you probably could’ve signed him for less than $10M guaranteed money. Martellus Bennett? Who needs a very good tight end when you can trade him away for next to nothing? What kind of sucker thinks…

Not since right when he signed his contract. I'm pretty sure every starting QB who signed after him is making more. And the Bears can walk away from him penalty-free after this season (not that they will or should, as they have no one waiting in the wings).

The Warriors are more disappointing because they lost in the sport that is widely acknowledged to be the sport where the better team wins the championship. Football is the most fluky as it’s just one game. A Super Bowl champ would lose to an awful team at least a few times out of 100, if the game could be played over…

Calvin and Hobbes is indeed the best comic of all time. I had all the books as a kid, and rereading them as an adult they still hold up. If I ever have a kid, I want to be like Calvin’s dad. The strip was also remarkably realistic and empathic to what it’s like to be a kid.

I was initially confused because I saw the picture of this guy and thought “Jesus, how old must his mother be?” Then I noticed that the headline said “mother-in-law.”

It would have to be, if only for the lack of competition. How many other guys can legitimately claim to have architected championship runs for two different teams, period? (Guys who won with two different teams but weren’t meaningfully in charge of one of them don’t count). And of course most teams don't have historic…

Considering that he’s wasting his prime years pitching for the horribly-run White Sox (on an obscenely team friendly deal), I don’t care how irrational his behavior is, I’m Team Sale.

And we don’t know who those people were. If they were Elliott’s close friends, or perhaps even being paid by him in some way, then I draw a different conclusion from their denial than I would if they were friends/family members of the alleged victim.

Knicks fans, get used to this. Derrick Rose is not very intelligent and he will say nonsensical things in interviews.

It’s not conclusive evidence either way, but I would be very interested to know more about the four witnesses who stated that they didn’t see him hit her. If they are his friends/entourage/whatever then it doesn’t mean much of anything; if they are closer to her than to him it would make me slightly less inclined to…

Sadly, that chest pain turned out to be what he thought it was.

I experienced Disney World for the first time as an adult and I really enjoyed it. If I have kids, I doubt we’ll take them before the age of about 8. Hopefully I’ll luck out and get kids like me (I didn’t care about Disney but I really enjoyed family vacations where we hiked and experienced nature) and it won’t even…

I didn’t find it the least bit persuasive. It even admitted that there’s no correlation between hand size and being a bad shooter, and it pointed out that there are tall guys who are quite good at free throws. And it admits that the fact that most of the worst free throw shooters in history have been big guys is…
