I think Amash mostly votes against everything on principle. I know nothing about the other two.

Your problem is that you’re re-heating the left-over pizza. Warmed left-over pizza is horrible; cold pizza is delicious. Can’t argue with fried chicken though; in small pieces it holds up surprisingly well.

Other leagues do not work this way. The NBA takes 10% off the top of player contracts and holds it in an escrow account for every year, then repays at the end of the year based on the final basketball-related income figure, of which the players are assured 57%. So basically the contracts are guaranteed, but if…

Yea.... I somehow didn’t realize how bad that was at first glance. I think the subject changes like 3-4 times in there. Internet journalism!

Although this is very old, it’s still very funny.

This sounds exactly like a public transportation agency. They decided 10:30 was the right time, based on nothing, then refused to change their minds or think about the possibility that it might not work that way, all evidence to the contrary.

I fear this may end up being a better plot than the one in the actual movie.

Always ominous when a show-creator who thinks of adapting books as “doing a PhD” makes dumb mistakes. We know why she can seperate from her daemon. It’s a learned skill that can be obtained at special places in the world, at the cost of great emotional stress. Many other characters, including the two main characters…

I mean, yes, but the original poster is also correct. Why exactly are they obligated to subsidize a sports league? It’s never really made sense. The NBA was a joke for decades; players made nothing and there was no money it. Ditto NFL and MLB. Players worked second jobs. That was the norm. That’s where women’s sports…

I mean, a lot of them are literally too poor to do what you’re suggesting, especially small-market owners. A high net worth is not the same as “I can afford to lose 10-50 million a year indefinitely”. Ballmer and Paul Allen could do it. Maybe a few others.

I’m glad they resolved the debt ceiling issue so quickly that they had time for name-calling and arguments about whether name-calling is allowed. 

It is ... puzzling. It’s digital animation designed look as far away from digital animation as possible.

Seriously. I knew they were losing that game (Grossman vs Peyton? Come on... no defense is that good), but that was a hell of a moment to start out with.

So he was going for literate Milo Yianopolis, minus the Trump stuff and it back-fired? I for one am shocked. Shocked I tells you.

What else were they supposed to do? They weren’t going to be competitive regardless. The team was built around having Westbrook and George. Absent one of them, they were going to lose a lot of game anyway. Ideally they could have gotten more for Westbrook, but, as it turns out most GMs aren’t stupid. Westbrook didn’t…

So your argument is that, in order to appeal to the median voter, Democrats should focus their efforts on appealing to voters further to the left extreme? I mean, I don’t really care who wins presidential elections (libertarian, so I tend to like moderate Democrats - hi John Deleney!), but this is an objectively…

These are great, but this one (“The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected”) is just horrible, if it’s not a recurring joke, which is quite possible. It’s a weird contrast in him; on the one hand, at least half his books are in part about finding a broader perspective and seeing the events…

They can both suck?

This all rings very true to me. Long-time skiier, but I did a lot of skiing in college with good snow-boarders, and there’s no difference at all as long as everyone involved knows what they’re doing. I think the learning curve is what drives the issues. Most people at resorts aren’t good; they only come out once a…

It’s weird, but hard to say it’s predatory. The only way these restaurants lose money through this arrangement is if they had a strong online presence to begin with that GrubHub is pulling sales away from, which seems unlikely. And even then they might end up coming out ahead through increased orders. Basically it’s…
