Which was absolutely hilarious, because a flash on a point-and-shoot has a range of maybe 30 feet.

Proof, once again, that the worst thing you can do is give an athlete time to think.

Haven’t tried their Signature sauce. It looks similar to Raising Cane’s sauce, though, which is itself awesome. Can someone in the US south compare and contrast?

Don’t forget multiple receivers in motion, the defence lining up one yard off the ball, timing rules closer to US colleges, and no fair catch.

I love how the referee’s flag (which he threw for the “no yards” penalty that was wiped out because Banks was onside) is pink for October.

As someone who paid actual money to see Dune on opening night in a theater, it has no business being on this list. I know people who love it simply for the aesthetic. That doesn’t excuse the fact that Lynch found it impossible to tell the story without telling the story through voice overs. That doesn’t even touch the…

I was okay with Snowpiercer for most of the film. Yeah, it was worse than improbable, but I was on board with it. I willingly suspended my disbelief. What I didn’t like about it was the end. The end had nothing to say. Worse, it couldn’t decide if it wanted a happy “return to Eden” or “this is how humanity dies”. It’s…

We currently have Sling with NBCSN, but I don’t watch the F1 races on NBCSN. A lot of the races they only show once, live and I don’t want to get up at the crack of early all the time. With their coverage you miss a lot of it when they go to commercial (without picture-in-picture). The first race this year they didn’t…

A gymnastic floor is a wooden covering (often the wood is covered in fiberglass) on top of a springy layer, which can be foam blocks or actual springs. This allows the gymnast to land on what looks like solid wood and not break something. A dead spot is an area that doesn’t bounce, or doesn’t bounce properly. How it…

I have a friend from Calgary and now living in Toronto who is (possibly was, since the move) a Chargers fan. It had a lot to do with which teams he could see on TV or hear on the radio. Calgary is in the Mountain time zone, so the west coast teams were prevalent. In the AFL era it was the Chargers, the Broncos or the…

You totally need to rope your mom into more car-based excursions! You two had a great Grand Tour vibe. Create a YouTube channel and call it Tour de Texas or something. I’d subscribe for sure.

Hey, I’m the first to blame Louisiana for it’s many shortcomings, but I’ve read enough posts by the Friendly Atheist to know that this is a problem throughout the country, though most heavily in the South. Quite a few teachers (not administrators) have marched kids down to the principal’s office for sitting for the…

Yeah, the tarmac extends past the curb, and apparently that section was considered part of the track, therefore he didn’t exceed track limits.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they would just put a prominent label on the story.

Came down to the comments specifically for this. Was not disappointed.

I’m a nervous flier. When I fly I try to prioritize getting a seat on the wing. It’s the most stable part of the plane and has the least pitching. Plus the seats further up are always booked when I go to buy a ticket.

It may be apocryphal, but I’ve heard that, ironically, it also sucks at fixing ducts.

Mercury helped prove General Relativity. If you lived on Mercury you would live longer than you will on Earth. (If you could figure out how to survive the heat and/or cold...) That, alone, should bump it out of last place.

Okay, but if you’re going to include Pluto, there’s no reason not to include Eris. That’s where the argument started. Eris has an ever so slightly smaller diameter than Pluto but it has more mass, so it’s hard to let Pluto into the club while keeping Eris out.
