The Northwest in general is a brighter shade of white because they play it straight.

Every year, this series serves to remind me that the AFC has a South division and that the Jaguars exist, but I’m still not sure that the Titans are more than a collective hallucination. Maybe it’s the Mandela Effect from that movie?

Before (and too long after TBH) the yellow line’s introduction, most pre-snap angles were so wide that you could see the sideline marker anyway.

A decade ago, even before my time, my university’s IT was shutting off access to students until they were given “the speech” by someone at the help desk.

Don’t overthink it: flying is just about as close to instant gratification as a person can get. I remind myself of the reward at the other end of the trip and quickly get back to busying myself with reading, chatting, or (trying to) sleep.

There are literally millions of replacement parts at the pick-n-pull for the dozens of surviving low-mileage domestics still out there.

In the statement: “she drove the BAY-em-vay from SAHN PAY-dro to LOHS Fel-EEZ” is our speaker being correct or just a pretentious ass?

I’m comfortable with the statement as-is.

Surroundings, sure, but the service and beer is subpar.

For all of $40 the REI Flash travels small and conveniently, while doubling as a travel daypack.

Too bad you can’t stop Hulu from running the same half dozen ads, half of them for their programming long after they know damn well I don’t want to watch it.

Speaking of “no thanks,” for the millionth time, Kinja:

The NBA can’t stop the Warriors. ASO can’t stop Froome.

Counter-counterpoint: all sports have stupid, even arbitary tiebreakers, but soccer relies on too many of them. It is the only branch of football’s evolutionary tree that didn’t figure out that games are easier to decide in regulation when there’s more than one way to score.

Definitely depends on what’s near. WashCo and the Couv might be different, but if there’s a Whole Foods or NSM nearby, Costco and WinCo might as well be on different planets. I am not above trekking to a distant Walmart, but only because they seem closer to other useful destinations.

Claire: Safeway is trash, and you still need to get yourself to Smart Foodservice Warehouse (ex-Cash & Carry). Just this weekend they had five dozen eggs for less than $6 like NBD and the quasi-humane options were not far behind.

This is academic if you write checks. Then it’s Uni-ball Signo 207 or GTFO.

I know a woman who biked to the Caltrain station from the Richmond for years. I would not say the Mission has a dearth of transit or bike-friendly weather, but if rideshare is your thing that’s cool I guess?
