Pretty sure it’s sarcasm, as in the author is not actually surprised.

drafting a high school kid has a 95% chance of failure

There’s no certainty that Knox will be good, but to say there is zero evidence that he will be good and literally no way of knowing is pretty dumb. Like, what do you think NBA scouts evaluate? They evaluate evidence, using methods that are admittedly far from perfect imperfect, but they generally do a pretty good job.

Another factor to consider is declining rural populations of young people leading schools that formerly supported 11-man teams to drop to 7-man, etc. I know this recently happened in my wife’s hometown. Not a huge factor, and I’m glad less people are playing football generally, but something to consider.

His clients were the players. I don’t think this violates any confidence he had with them relative to the scope of his representation (defending sexual assault charges). He was talking about the general atmosphere of the program, nothing specific about his clients, the students. A reasonable person could disagree, but…

Stopped reading at “correct.”

Zach Lowe discussed this on a recent podcast with Spurs beat writer Michael Wright. Seems like the relationship with Kawhi may have got him in the door, but this guy is a legit talented coach.

It’s actually worse than “apologies to those I offended.” That actually takes some responsibility and acknowledges that your actions hurt people. No, they always say, “apologies if I offended anyone,” as if they don’t see their behavior as offensive but recognize that maybe somebody out there possibly could, so they…

He’ll probably have to beg them to take him back.

That’s what it looks like to me. Flip-shades flipped up.

Bing!

That would not be proper usage. In that example, you’re using it as an as an adjective, when it’s an adverb, basically a more emphatic substitute for “very.” A presentation wouldn’t just be “hella”; it’d be “hella dope.” At least that’s been the case in my experience.

Absolutely freshness impacts the flavor (and other qualities) of beer. Beer is probably the alcoholic drink where freshness matters most (as opposed to spirits and most wines). Some styles of beer (particularly high alcohol ones such as barleywines, some of the heavier Belgians, and many imperial IPAs and stouts) age…

I’m pretty sure that’s false, that is, they only have one recipe for the Draught taht they use for both domestic and export production. I’d say the Guinness Draught served in the US is pretty dang light, as far as stouts go.

I’m pretty sure that’s false. They export the same stuff they serve in Ireland, it’s just fresher there and probably people enjoy it more there because they’re in Ireland.

Couldn’t agree more. That crisp mouthfeel is an essential aspect of IPAs for me.

It’s pretty common to teach a few signs to kids before they are able to speak. Their mental ability and motor skills often come before their vocalization skills. My kid had the signs for “milk,” “more,” and “please” before he could say the words.

Great article, but you’re going to have to clear something up: Does your daughter’s preschool class really have a fricking Komodo Dragon?!?! If so, that does not seem, like, at all safe and I’d really recommend you take her elsewhere. ;-)

As others have mentioned above, you can also just strain it over another pot or large measuring cup.

I find the four cup to be the most useful. It’s the one that just ends up staying out on y counter all the time.
