Newton’s discovery of gravitational lensing? I must have missed that lesson on Newton’s theory of really really special relativity.

screw that. I throw my batteries in the first fire I come across!

Are the white outlined players visible through walls because of an administrative spec mode, or is that actually the view that the players have?

so, rival networks that didn’t win the bid to air it should be making a big deal out of it. Unless they all subscribe to the “any news is good news” school of thought.

Terminology Quibble:

...and give the pizza to someone else.

would they be Lazarus Letters, Lord (Jesus) Letters or OMG Zombies! Letters?

Heavily Asian, implying Chinese? Frankly, Sacramento has a lower (proportionally) Chinese population than many other NBA cities. Last I checked Indochina (Cambodia/Vietnam), Japanese, Indian Subcontinent and Indian ocean nations don’t all celebrate China’s version of the lunar new year, so simply having a fair amount…

That article was rather light on the specifics, but I appreciate knowing this wasn’t the first time.

if they did a promotion every Chineese new year, I could see releasing the shirt. But I assume this is the first such event for the Kings - in which case, DeMarcus got it 100% right, that would have been racist as all hell.

But it’s not just titles (for the NBA). I just crunched back to the 2003-2004 season*, and the East is 2341-3126 in inter-conference games, for a .428 winning percentage.

history revisionist! it was clearly 35-10 and not 25-10 :P

That idea - basically that intellegent life either blows itself up or otherwise only briefly exists in a radio/light-wave transmitting civilization - is commonly seen as a “solution” to the Paradox. It sounds to me that this latest paper is just another form of the same principle. Either early life poisons itself to…

Phillips and Ackley drove around the LA area measuring methane concentrations for a period of five days.

I hope it was less than 100 degrees C. otherwise they were getting a planet-wide steam bath on land and you most definitely wouldn’t want to be in the water.

plus, mammoths were smaller than African elephants are now. I shit you not.

Jack Sock takes off sock, now sock used to jack off

hit mute then. Listen to the radio version of the broadcast. Watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. No one is forcing you to listen to her.

Bob Uecker. Who, although he played, played AT the Mendoza line.

That makes some sense for most of the population though, as it drives up the prices for fast food, groceries, etc contributing to some inflation. For the fast food worker though, they’re getting a bigger piece of the pie.
