It seems Gladwell may have reached a point where he is, in a sense, beyond peer review; which is problematic. Seemingly his celebrity and intellect make him above the fray; if he has an idea he can just get it done because people want to be a part of ‘Gladwell’ without the sort of rigorous critique an editor or…

What is at issue with these companies breaking these down for replacement parts before they hit years in the unforgiving elements? Is it just more cost effective to manufacture a new part and sell that at a premium (probably just answered my own question, huh?)

yeah exactly I want to see his brain firing and eye tracking to get an idea of what he is looking at when

Yea I agree. I wonder if the sorta real goal of Disney was to make ‘Planet Earth’ (the BBC series) but we can control the narrative. I think the idea was to combine a ‘grand’ narrative to the machinations of nature and that the audience would read into the reaction the same way we do w/ Richard Attenborough narrating.

true, and low key another factor at least in Gm2 was that TOR crowd was light coming out of the half. I don’t think the first couple rows were filled back up until near midway through. I noticed how silent the broadcast seemed and 1st thought it was the broadcast’s fault, but the stands looked like GM 48 vs. Grizzlies…

I’m with you on this. I was telling a friend why I think the Warriors take the series even without Durant, because they are sticking to attempting to gas the other team out. They’re running their haflcourt with the same intensity as a fastbreak, and that causes a lot of stress physically and mentally on a defense.

Sure he’s being a bit pedantic, but its warranted. Drake’s been a pain for everyone; then you read a headline like “Draymond in scuffle with Drake after Gm.1" That implies a lot of narrative. Scuffle implies physicality + Draymond’s reputation/perception + Finals Gm. + Drake being a cornball all playoff = Draymond…

True, but for a slight counter, I initially got excited for this because I read it as streaming Steam. This to me meant a play at removing necessities of MAC or PC. I’m locked into Mac for a number of reasons, but previously ran a PC, thus I dont have quick access to a number of older games. Also I don’t have access…

So Ainge’s ‘brain guy’ was right. wtf Fultz.

I like where Kyrie says he researches the science behind it, for real? So then you research the science what then, based on some of the statements in particular you don’t have the best grasp of the concepts and thus you will always fall on conspiracies or skepticism.

Simmons is all schtick now, for better or worse. I stopped taking anything analysis wise seriously after the nba labor issues a few years ago. He was seemingly strangely pro-billionaires and changed his tune seemingly after his time working the nba show & realizing he’s just as much a pawn to the real big boys in the…

Kirk we are close to the same page with this and Nioh. The Last Jedi is what I wanted Force Awakens to be. Remix the characters because they are archetypes and tropes, which is fine, and give me something actually new to this series. They did that for me. FA’s fan service was painful. LJ largely shed the fan service,…

I had hoped she was a clone. Could bring a very interesting matter to what the force is or wielded. Feels like something addressed in the books I didn’t read though.

Someone in UFC has to see all of this too right?

its weird to me that it was in doubt that Rollins was the best at the time. I’ve listened to podcasts (david shoemaker and others) were often like Rollins may be the odd man out when/if they split. I always thought he was clearly the best & suited to where the company was going with current and NXT talent coming in;…

1 question & 1 potential positive

Man, right on.

These clowns.

Love your viewpoint. I’ve been saying similar over the past 2 years; What have the 76ers shown themselves competent in doing other than being horrendous?

The C’s are in a weird spot, for sure. IT is small, soon to be old and everyone else on the team is a role player atm other than Horford, who is also soon to be old. They are either win now and trade this haul for a top tier guy and lure a top tier free agent.
