Seriously, who cares? That the 6th best team in a division might miss out on the playoffs when they were, say, the 12th best team in hockey is not anything a rational human being should be upset about.

I think it’s doing a great job of ginning up rivalries. Pittsburgh/Washington and Toronto/Bost to name a couple recent examples.

With you on the playoff format. As a Lightning fan, I love the extra spice the Bos/Tor playoff matchups have added to their regular season rivalry.

Baseball has objectively too many games. I can’t think of anyone other than a retiree who’s going to watch even half of a 162 game season. Cut out all the Padres and you can still spend 500 hours of your life EACH YEAR slogging through the regular season.

Rare to find someone who knows the difference. This guy prisons.

No way. There's no way any of you haters heard Belle rap "It's like you always choke when you get to the balls" and didn't at least crack a smile.

There’s an argument that the editing choices emphasize that he’s left her feeling completely and utterly alone, without even leaving the room.

I’m not seeing how Google changed the game “not in a good way”. Not seeing how they changed the game at all, actually.

Hard to see how Louisville is getting screwed here. Assuming Google returns everything to the state it started out in (which even the angry councilmember is confident is going to happen), Louisville isn’t out anything.

I’m pretty sure it has “succeeded” and will continue to succeed everywhere that Google made the investment to put in the standard fiber infrastructure. By succeed I mean will continue to return more than its operating costs (by whatever accounting metric Google uses, including taking into account value they receive fro…

I saw a Madea Family Funeral at a matinee in Harlem. As a basic white guy, this was a new cultural experience for me.

You’ve never looked at food photos on Google maps? There are a million of them, all taken by amateurs. Some helpful.

I’m definitely not one of those annoying folks who takes a million pictures of food and posts it on Instagram.

Sweet, dessert wine. Like a Sauternes or a Tokaji.

I feel the specific questions like this one are always missing some context. Is this a casual restaurant serving $10 fried chicken, or a high end place serving $30 fried chicken? Or somewhere in between?

Sounds like the only thing in common is the rocket to move the Earth. And even there, the details are quite different.

I saw it in the limited US release. Not great. A number of the action sequences on Earth were very hard to follow, and the CGI fell apart a bit. I hated the teenage kid who presumably was the protagonist, but that may be on me and cultural misunderstanding.

Not just his voice, but his voice. My introduction to Gaiman was the audiobook of Stardust, read by Gaiman. It was fantastic.

Looking forward to Catastrophe.
