Actually we don’t know that at all. It’s very likely that it affects a (relatively) small portion of players and everyone else progresses along a fairly normal life expectancy curve.

I played college football. My two boys play high school football. The conditions they play and practice under today are meaningfully different than what we did in the late 80s/early 90s.

You do understand that in every population, there are people with neurodegenerative diseases, people with mental illness and people who commit suicide? Maybe football contributed to it, maybe not. An intelligent guess would say that it might have, but there is still a paucity of actual scientific studies related to…

It’s clearly not as significant as (maybe) letting the air out of some footballs and then having the temerity to fight against the punishment.

I don’t know, but Q’doba seems to have mastered the quesadilla about 15 years ago, so I don’t think it’s exactly akin to planning the Mars landing.

I am not a vegetarian, and I love their sofritas. It’s what I get most of the time.

Actually I’d say if anyone has a chance at being a human being it’s Tiffany. Marla Maples seems like she might be a decent-ish person—certainly much different from Ivana and Melania. Tiffany is old enough to have tried to get in the spotlight and seems to have (generally) shied away from it.

Just two days ago I booked 5 people round trip DEN-SAN for 100,000 points on United (at the times I wanted). I thought that was a decent value.

Construction cost was way higher than the estimate sold to the voters. Also, it would have involved some right-of-way acquisition or sharing with BNSF, and they decided to hold Denver/Boulder hostage and demand a couple of billion for the right-of-way (that they were likely given free 150 years ago). I think even…

No they don’t. The ones in the cast iron are typically the very high hydration doughs (approaching 80%). I make no-knead baguettes and rolls at 68% hydration all the time that come out perfect with a great crust and crumb.

The fact that you can’t/couldn’t get an Acura wagon in 4WD is mind-boggling.

Arguably, this would have been a better lede image:

It’s generally a wives tale. Chefs are pretty notorious for doing things because “that’s how we’ve always done it.” Putting your knife in the dishwasher (unless it has a wooden handle) isn’t going to cause it any damage.

Read carefully what the knife manufacturers are saying. Washing your knives in a dishwasher dulls the blades? What kind of bullshit is that? Maybe it could damage the handles—especially if they are wood—but that’s not really what we’re talking about is it? Traditionally, the “danger” in washing knives in the…

It’s tough to hear, because in our hearts we all believe that money spent on public transit it money well spent. That said, there are dozens of studies that show that building light rail at exorbitant costs is not a good expenditure of public transit dollars. Costs are always much higher than projected; ridership is…

To the extent people got their knickers in a twist a few years ago over the word “niggardly,” I don’t think I’m ever not going to do a double-take on Kikè.

Many bread recipes are no-knead, so you don’t really need that KitchenAid. In addition, you can cook a lot of bread without a bread pan and/or without a pan at all (baguettes need no pan). If you don’t have an oven, however, you’re SOL.

Homemade bread will grow mold more quickly than store-bought

Yea, no. But congratulations on finding the line and then gleefully jumping across it.
