Every statshead says kickers are totally replaceable and any value above average is a seasonal statistical anomaly.

It’s like they think anyone off the street can boot an accurate 50 yarder in the cold, and there is no differentiable skill.

And coaches that don’t understand that you play in a cold... uh FRIGID, windy…

YEah, except every commentator with experience for the entire week was pointing out that the ice packs were very low on the leg, and were speculating it was achilles related before he played. Jalen Rose, Shannon Sharpe, Ric Bucher, and others.

Durant is goddamn 7' tall. That is torque and stress that normal people do…

I like to mock the Sharpe - Undisputed program as much as any screamfest, but he has been shooting arrows.

That 500k fine for that owner? Yeah, that’s like a $22 fine to an average family.

And Durant playing? He was all over it recommending Durant should have gotten an independent eval, his experiences with people who…

Cancer is full of snake oil and thin promises (the next miracle drug is right around the corner! Get in this study!).

But immunotherapy really really really is on the cusp of major advances in cancer treatment.

But a lot of those therapies may demand customized genetically-specific markers / “drugs” / etc. As in, some…

It speaks to the respect she commanded that other runners refused to race the 1500 until the committee treated her fairly in that dispute. Most competitors in individual competitions do not stick their necks out like that.

Salazar is a slimy, seedy group and any runner attached to him is dirty, if not technically so,…

Bloomington was way smaller when I was a kid. Lived there in the 70s.

IU used to inflate its size, until the rest of the town caught up.

Bloomington is flat-out awesome now. Perhaps the only complaint I have when I visit is that it doesn’t have EVERY ethnic cuisine covered, like Vietnamese. 

Those employers fund every politician under the sun. Thus you get saber rattling to cattle herd voters to your party with a wink wink to your donors, and then it alllll dies in committee...

Even Trump knows this. All his properties run on illegal immigrants. 

Battery storage, and overnight charging that is tuned based on price to peak vs non-peak can actually even the base load demand on the grid.

The battery is currently the most expensive component you pay for. So for a 50k car of which 30k was the battery... do you want to swap that out with an unknown replacement?

Leasing/rental agreements would probably help, but still...

It does suck a bit, but let’s face it, charging and battery technologies are still in their infancy, and will undergo massive evolution. Why yourself down with a limited interface and a standards body?

Adaptors will probably not be ‘too bad’ to carry around, as long as its only two or three.

My HOA isn’t exactly on the forefront of EV adoption, I live in a 20 story condo highrise with its own underground parking and is downtown, and my HOA is a decent one as things go.

You’d think they just run a fatter powerline along the the ceiling, but it probably is a first adopter cost thing. What will probably…

Burneko was ?probably? doing performance art on all the various sportswriters trotting out the “real men risk it for the team” standard.

Or trying to get the Warriors to prematurely injure Durant so there are no late-series heroics.

In case people missed it, the Raptors played like utter shit last night and almost beat…

Called it!

Well if Burneko had pulled me out of the greys, KD would have received my sage advice and avoided this entire catastrophe to his career.

Or, you know, looked down the bench at Demarcus Cousins. 

If he blows out his achilles, he loses big big big big big.

If KD’s injury involves even slightly his achilles, he should preserve his half-billion dollar future earnings and let GSW prove they can win without him.

The legitimate position against illegal immigration is the massive undermining of the blue collar and trade middle class jobs. The labor imported directly undercuts the ability of those jobholders to keep their jobs, much less get paid a living wage. While this surfaces as racism in your typical white male voter, what…

And if you have solar panels on your roof, when the sun comes back out you have power to charge for small distance trips, even if the lines to your house went out.

Also, Bush II was pushing fuel cells and hydrogen. That should be all you need to know.

The X-men universe involves discrimination and rejection from mainstream society of mutants. The X-men are the most appealing physical members of the mutants and therefore are the diplomatic front in mutant-human relations.

The Mutant Brotherhood and others are not and are outcasts.

What X-men universe are you thinking…
