Budget gets cut again and an efficiency consultant decides that there’s no need for redundancy there.  

multiple!  There’s one on 23rd with a very small store at street level then a very large warehouse style store down an escalator.

Are HOAs more common in the South? I don’t get it. There are articles every day about them it seems. I bought a house in the last couple years and the only places with HOAs were a few developments that were basically glorified condos. I’m in the Northeast.

Is it that low?

Oh I read that to mean in time I’ll be very pleased I just gave up on the giants on April 25, 2019 around 8:45pm

I’ve thought about this a fair bit. The first three books were more faithfully adapted, absolutely.  But they were also much easier to adapt (not that they were easy).  I can’t even conceive of what a faithful adaptation of the fourth and fifth books would even look like.  

I will only fix your problem by saying you can typically gatecheck a stroller and carseat for free (check your airline’s website).

Zion’s fine.  K knows that the committee wouldn’t dare take them off the 1 line if they lose some games without him now, so there’s no incentive to play him.  

I mean, it’s sort of how capitalism works.  You like this?  You’ll spend money on it?  Great.  Now how shitty can I make it before you stop spending that money?  I’ll make it juuuuuussst not quite that shitty.

I recall the dominant narrative coming out of the Broncos Packers superbowl in 97 being “holy shit the superbowl was actually good this year.”

In addition to the below, i.e., mlb rookie contracts are six years and don’t start until you’re in the majors, there’s also no guarantee he’d ever see a mlb field. It’s extraordinarily rare to play in the majors within a year or two of being drafted. Most guys drafted will never play in the majors. Plenty of first…

Along similar lines, I think Cadillac should be imitating Volvo. Audi/BMW/MB are competing directly with very similar model lines in the same space.

The problem with that, and you may well not think it’s a problem at all, is that it keeps you from being able to stop the clock with a foul late in the game. I mean, people might reasonably think that’s a good thing, but it would be a massive change in the way the game is played.

It only makes sense when you realize it’s all utterly performative. It’s exactly the same as every other weird ass executive profile. They’re desperate to seem like they’ve mastered some life bullshit so they can credit that discipline to their success. If it wasn’t this shit it would be his assistant brings him a…

OK, that’s only two cups though.  What about the rest of the day’s coffee?

Ohhh...the Alamo.  Fuck.  I always forget the Alamo.

They’re owned by the New York Football Giants, Inc., and yeah, that distinction was only in there because of the presence of the baseball team. So it’s actually part of the name if that matters at all.

8kish is pretty typical for a championship race.

My conclusion from any rigorous examination of a HOF ballot is that it’s fucking impossible to have a totally defensible, logically consistent HOF ballot.

What? That’s the exact point I started with.
