Design meeting:

“What should the failure mode be for the wave generator?”
“Nothing, it should just die quietly and stop functioning.”
“We could do that. Or.. and hear me out on this one...”

“Arnold Schwarzenegger made plenty of shit films too, and he is clearly the model Johnson is patterning his career after.”

Welcome to the AV CLUB since you must be new here.

That really is the root issue with seasons 7 and 8. They established a narrative rhythm and then got tired of the series and tried to cram what would have been 20-25 episodes worth of plot into about 14 episodes of TV.

I didn’t want to bring this up, but many people are saying that the USWNT have shown more respect for their opponents than perhaps anyone in the history of soccer.

when it comes to modesty, we’re the greatest 

I don’t think anyone truly believes that we disrespect the game or disrespect our opponents. We have the utmost respect for England and every team that we face.

It’s incredible to me how much INXS seems to have fallen off the map since he died. They were absolutely one of the biggest bands of their era, and completely deserved it. Yet I very seldom hear them played while terrible 90s contemporaries get constant airtime.

Thank you for this. I’ve railed against LH several times lately for their fear-mongering, poorly researched Offspring posts. I feel like if they can’t be bothered to vet the information they are putting forth then they are better off getting rid of this sub-site altogether.

What this research actually seems to be saying is that if you leave your child with a crappy babysitter who restrains them in a car seat for hours instead of actually caring for them, then there’s an increased risk they might die. Letting your baby sleep in their car seat next to you in a restaurant is not going to…

This article’s summary of this research is so bad that it borders on willful falsehood. Here’s the actual result from the study:

“presumable” because I haven’t watched a minute of MLS this season so I’ve not had the chance to subject his performances to my own visual examination

73 or less domestic incidents = coincidence.

Wtf are you talking about? It is a horrible shot. Had he missed (which was highly likely) we’d be laughing at Dame because of the following...

how was this an all-time great? select scenes were wonderful, but it mostly felt like treading water and endless blunt “hey look at these two, remember how they know each other?” moments.

I’ve learned that there’s a wide disparity in the meaning of the words “graphic video.”  For anyone who hasn’t watched yet, this is towards the “I can’t eat lunch now” end of the spectrum.  How awful.
