But how’s it going to drive with a .50 cal mounted in the bed? That’s what a lot of those place want to know.

What in the world are you going on about? Who’s hero worshiping anyone? I barely know who Laurie Hernandez is, and I’ve never seen more than snippets of DWtS. My point is that there is no reason that a 16 year old would have much knowledge of a time in history 40 years before her birth. It’s a silly headline and silly…

I want you to point me to this mythical 16 year old with the great understanding of the history of the 1960s (especially one who’s essentially had a full-time job for most of her life). That person, if he or she exists, represents an infinitesimally small percentage of all 16 year olds who have ever lived. If we were…

As the parent of two sophomores in high school (which is what LH would probably be) I can say definitively that they have never been taught any meaningful amount about the 60s—a little civil rights and maybe a skoosh of Vietnam. If you asked a control group of “regular” kids what they know about the 60s, the answer…

Why should Laurie Hernandez know much about the 60s? She’s 16 years old and has been gymnasticizing 24/7 for the past 12 years.

Is one less stupid, as stupid or more stupid than the women who did the same thing for the Duke men’s lacrosse team?

Hoyer had a 98 rating this year until he got blown the fuck up. Osweiler’s rating, a very sad 71.9 which bests only Gabbert and Fitzpatrick.

If Illinois were a toss-up, then she’d be a Cubs fan again.

Coghlan is a worse-than-replacement level hitter this year. I’d suspect that Schwarber might be able to hit better than him in both the short and the long term. But I agree that there is no significant downside (except the off chance that Schwarber reinjures his knee while doing nothing at the plate).

He doesn’t roll on Shabbos.

He took the place of Rob Zastryzny who played exactly 0.0 innings in the NLCS. Maybe he’s taking ABs away from Wilson Contreras who’s had a very good playoffs. He could also be taking ABs away from Chris Coghlan who has hit .188 in the playoffs which, coincidentally, also about matches his season average.

As I pointed out above, Abrams and Nolan collaborated most recently on Person of Interest in which the long term plot was ostensibly completed for all 5/6 seasons before they started filming the pilot. There were a few non-sequiturs, but generally you can look back at, what were seemingly, minor details from Season 1…

For what it’s worth, in Person of Interest (which was the most recent Nolan/Abrams/BadRobot collaboration) there was quite a bit of mixing of timelines without ever explicitly saying that they were not contemporaneous with the main plot. Additionally, several of the directors of upcoming Westworld episodes appear to…

Actually, now (assuming that you can keep them out of bankruptcy) might be the exact time to invest in a smaller version of FanDraftDuelKings and run it for cash rather than growth. People are likely to continue to play at some level (even if it’s just pros). Depending on what their liabilities actually look like, you…

Oooh good one. Let’s make the Cubs winning the pennant about social justice.

I lived in Houston for a long time and never once heard anyone say anything like that. I’d say it’s a stretch.

What you said makes as much sense as saying that people in Texas don’t like the Astros as much as the Rangers because Houston is closer to Mexico so the Astros are the Latino team and the Rangers are the White team. Totally supported by Google Maps, right?

So if the Indians win before the Cubs, I think that’s when we finally start jumping off the rooftops instead of watching games from them.

I have not done a decent amount of coding (i.e. none except for some visual basic in Microsoft Office and a intro to BASIC course in 1980), but it looks like the list just takes the whole name as a single variable, yet every name is in the form of first name, last initial. I would assume that if it were taking it from…

Listen Gundy, I was told in no uncertain terms that I would be in charge of the Big XII’s Camaro Club.
