Just the locals? The whole chain is cold garbage. The only time it makes economic sense is when they hold franchises hostage, forcing them to lose money on specials. It’s at best average food sold by a demonstrably evil company.

My bad. I misunderstood the situation. Of course, it remains almost impossible to find a cheat based on one hand of play. One hopes that they look at more hands in order to potentially determine a pattern.

Exactly this. Once you’re heads-up, virtually every normal betting strategy goes out the window in favor of folding immediately or going all-in on any given hand. Most cash games would fold up at 2 players for exactly that reason and in a tournament the play is even looser since both players have already won.

Well, The Leader was a (arguably the) key member of The Intelligencia in the comics.

I was absolutely certain that Blonsky was tricking her, right up until she was being driven away. It was so perfect (especially with Saracen's blood fixation) that it had to be writer’s intent.

The simple answer to this issue (if we ignore that CTE is endemic among football players) is that the NFL should be in control of all team medical staff. The teams should pay for it but the medical professionals should not be accountable to the individual teams.

If the NFL cared about player safety, they’d shut down the whole enterprise until they figured out how to stop concussions. As it is, they - like high school and college football - are simply a brain damage factory.

I think part of the equation is whether Favre’s family accrued any tangible advantages from their donations. It seems like he was trying very hard to make donations to USM without spending any of his own money. If he and his daughter were getting anything - more than dinners in their honor - in exchange for donations…

Probably just fat women, and nobody comments on a woman's weight faster than a fat [misogynistic] man.

The closest Chang's to me is in an open-air mall and a half block away from an amazing Korean burrito kiosk. Honestly, if I simply had to eat in that mall, Chang's would be my second choice. A two-minute drive, however, would result in far better food (including a Chinese restaurant that serves authentic Chinese…

“We were hacked" all too frequently means "One of our employees used 'password' as their password."

Wow. I’ve only been to the place once and thought it was just about okay. But for those prices I could get twice as much food from a nearby Chinese place that I consider excellent (five times as much during lunch hours). How the fuck is P.F. Chang’s still open at all anywhere competition exists?

Had Hickman stayed on, there would almost certainly be an ending in sight. For better or worse, Marvel decided to go with the other writers who wanted more freedom to play. I’m willing to go along, if only because I really like New Mutants and Marauders.

While I agree with you, it is of the utmost importance that you stop getting into arguments about canon. The only winners are Kevin Feige (dude loves the free press generated by riling up nerds) and Jonathan Hickman (“Well, I do have another cool idea to reset the universe.”).

Yes, there are reasons for all those things, almost entirely arbitrary and absolutely nothing to do with science.

Except that he couldn’t be an expert witness in a lawsuit he’s initiated. This is where the idea that his stated perception can be accepted as fact breaks down. He’s obviously - and factually - biased.

Come on! Jimmy Kimmel only has 5 hours a week on a broadcast network that are all about him! Who can possibly blame him for needing to take attention from talented black women?

You might want to do a little research on the semicolon. It is used to separate two distinct clauses, in this case two similar but separate complaints.

My question is more basic: Is the writer of that crap just a straight-up “slavery gave black people culture” racist? Because just the idea that a species could become “sapient” via enslavement seems immediately suspect. In fact, how could it be “enslavement” if they weren’t already beings who were conscious and aware?

My issue with the ketchup on pizza is that it shouldn’t be in any way additive. The tomato sauce on the crust should give a similar, but better, tomato flavor and bite.
