Because a team wouldn’t want to try a long, non-guaranteed field goal kick if there’s time on the clock to actually run plays. You kick and you’re effectively acting as if it’s 4th down already; you’ve sacrificed the opportunity to advance the ball for a TD. In this case, the choice was kick or Hail Mary because there…

Yeah, that is probably the right answer. The other clues (it goes with chocolate, eaten for breakfast or late night) as well as the described flavor profile support churro as well. (N.B. I have not sampled the cookie.)

The sidewalks around Al’s are public spaces — used not only to enter/exit Al’s but also to stroll right past Al’s. The sidewalks likely are owned by the city as well. Hence, it is public infrastructure. Dominos.com, on the other hand, is privately owned and operated, and is of no use to anyone not ordering pizza from…

The truly scary part is that if Trump tweeted out that he was in favor of eating babies, a non-zero percentage of his supporters immediately would get on board and start developing baby food (i.e., babies as food, not food for babies) recipes. 

Correct. And in fact those changes/simplifications were made intentionally to ‘separate’ the newly freed USA from the tyranny of the King’s English. 

“Let’s just do it and be legends, man.” Worked for Fyre Festival; certainly should work for Brexit. Oh wait.....

It’s not like Corbyn was a hardline Remainer, and the Lib Dems don’t want to make Corbyn PM because they (rightfully IMO) believe he’ll cock it up.

The people were conned into voting for Brexit, but be that as it may.... The problem with actually achieving Brexit is that there are no good ways to do so. The Irish border issue, in and of itself, is seemingly unsolvable — neither nation will allow the free flow of goods without a customs deal, but the UK opposes…

The point isn’t using a large vocabulary, but using fancy words to mean simple words for the sole purpose of sounding fancy. ... None of the words listed here add any nuance to a statement other than “look at the big word I chose to use.”

Super-hoppy IPAs (75-90+ IBUs) as a ‘fad’ has subsided, and has been replaced by the juicy/hazy/NE IPA style (20-50 IBUs) — which is typically very low in bitterness. As Kate suggested, if you don’t like the really bitter IPAs, have yourself one of the new ones. You may find you like them a lot.

It is interesting to think about how presidents would perform if they were required to submit to PQs like the PM submits to PMQs, and whether those performances would have an effect on reelection. Of recent POTUSes, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton and Obama would’ve been fine. GWB would not have done as well. And of course, DJT…

Isn’t it more outside-in than inside-out? Unless you consider the crust the inside of a pizza, which ....????

I thought I’d seen this before! Well, I guess there’s nothing new in the world, so they just recycle stuff. Better for the environment.....

Yeah, I think this is the real ‘news’ of this story — that outlets are reporting tweets as news, and that outlets aren’t bothering with fact-checking.

Back in the day?!? I think I still have one!

Exactly. Clemenza’s first name was Peter, though I don’t recall ever hearing him referred to by his first name.

I don’t disagree that this likely was not an innocent mistake. They probably hired some IT or design person who didn’t adhere to their ‘philosophy’ but wanted the money, and that person took the opportunity to fuck with Trump in a way that is subtle and yet obvious. And to that person I say, Well done!! 

That is amazing. Of course, the two-headed, tongues-out eagle also is reminiscent of the Russian coat of arms:

America: Did you conspire with Russia?

You crap on the USWNT for celebrating in a blowout but have no issue with (Toronto Blue Jay) Jose Batista Bautista’s bat flip? Colour me surprised.....
