The argument I’ve heard is that it was flipped about 60 years or so ago, when the top echelons of society stopped being populated exclusively by wealthy scions who—though vile—had been raised with certain ideas about noblesse oblige, philanthropy, community responsibility, and propriety. They were bad men, but of an…

This logistical concerns are valid, but FIFA’s doing the right thing here. You say that they should’ve waited until there were more good teams and then expanded the tournament, but that’s getting the causation backwards: expanding the tournament will create more good teams.

Well then - if you hate VAR, then you presumably love the ongoing CONCACAF Gold Cup, which I’m sure you’re watching with great glee as players take elbows to the face and get reprimanded when they raise a fuss. Last night, one of the Jamaican players successfully baited the noted crybaby Jozy Altidore into a yellow…

This article is an exercise in scientific illiteracy and bad journalism that’s a fitting output for Trumpistan. It demonstrates a complete and utter ignorance of the actual issue.

I agree with all of El Yucateco’s sauces, but especially the Habanero Black Label Reserve! You can tell it has been aged in casks for some time, and has a nice, earthy flavor. And it’s only $2.74/bottle. I also really like that they don’t use vinegar in their sauces, which give them a more natural pepper flavor! They…

El Yucateco black label, oh yeah, that’s the stuff. *drool*

a great bottom is priceless. We’ve known this for quite some time

My favorite example of this sort of “scandal” was when Ohio State players had the temerity to sell their own property to pay for tattoos, and were suspended for half a season—an extreme penalty in the NCAA system—but were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas because everyone wanted to see that looming…

The total package; smart, witty, attractive. The videos were very good work. Best of luck, Hannah.

Speaking as a Japanese dude: the real cultural force at work here is the Japanaese concept of “Meiwaku” (causing trouble to others).

This phenomenon isn’t limited to soccer. The Warriors, for example, just swept the Cavs.

Can we just drop tipping and make restaurant owners pay their employees a living wage? Build it into the price of the menu items. When people no longer show up because their Olive Garden meal costs too much then we can adjust or eat at home. Tipping that is expected is a ridiculous model.

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

The second question is easier: That the target company is going to assume the debt is known from the start to the bank. It’s part of the deal - I show them my numbers, and they make a decision as to whether they agree that company on that model can service that debt. And they price accordingly.

They don’t. They have to pay money to the lender that gave the buyer the money that was used to buy up the stock necessary to get control.

Sorry, this is the part I don’t agree with, and it’s the fundamental difference between what an agent would have done and what he did:

Their are four possible games one can make a living at in Vegas: blackjack, video poker, live poker, and at the sports book.

Hedging is usually mathematically wrong (you’re making an additional bet that the bookmaker has an edge on, so overall, your expected value goes down). It’s smart if you’re talking about life-changing amounts of money, of course. Whether LPShea thinks $2,400 is worth hedging or just a typical gamble is up to him.

Good! We need to think of the children!
