Counterpoint: decisions being made based on physical and visual evidence that everyone can intuitively understand is good

Once a receiver has official control of the ball they do work under the break the plane rule, the catch (hah) is when the catch happens during or beyond the plane. You obviously can’t give the TD if the receiver merely touches the ball past the pane, nor if they’re still juggling the ball. In this case he doesn’t have…

That is how you cull your weak, so as not to weaken the smiting

I haven’t really watched competitive RL but it is better made for it

I ate my pride and watched some Overwatch League. It was... fine? Production values good, liked the area, but still suffers from the esport problem of having to know the game to understand what the hell is going on. If real life sports have anything going from them is that they’re generally built well for watching.…

I think he’s more anti-establishment than any wing. People in power are all the same, vast conspiracies against the general populace, etc

It’s remarkable how shitty most jerseys look when not being worn by people playing the game. Baseball jerseys seem like perfectly decent things to wear — even Bartolo looks good in them! — but unless you’ve got them tucked into dirt-smeared breeches (no real baseball man wears pants), they’re garbage. Cricket whites…

Once you’re out, get away from the wreckage as fast as possible. You don’t want to survive impact then manage to escape, only to be killed by shrapnel with the plane decides to explode.

Pretty good. The catastrophic everyone dies crashes are more memorable, but are an extreme edge case.

How smitten is Group D going to be? Utterly? Contemptuously? Thunderously?

I will forever be kicking myself for not seeing Fury Road in IMAX and 3D. I would joke that it should have won every Oscar as it’s the best movie ever but really... it probably is my best movie ever.

Is it ethically defensible for a professional sports team to commit to being mediocre? I’m not talking about shitcans like the Washington football team who stumble into mediocrity despite their best efforts, but for an owner and GM to say “we’re putting together an entire team of guys that are solid C’s”. We know that…

SHE Wheeeeeeee

at least it’s not Rapha expensive

Any brands to note for the wool shirt/jersey?

SC thinks that mustard is an appropriate BBQ sauce base. There’s no recovering from that.

presumably they were all onside when the ball was kicked

It doesn’t have to be a huge motor to make a notable difference; it’s not like they’re using the motor to completely replace the human power. If you’re clever there’s plenty of room in the tubes and the bottom bracket to fit a big enough motor.

Not being a fan, what’s with all the emphasis on the lug nuts?

I liked how the Bathurst caused a massive uproar when they announced they were limiting the amount of alcohol people could bring to a case of beer (or some large number of bottles of wine) per person
