Also... is this a BRILLIANT heel move? I had absolutely no idea who Jessica Smetana was until this story, and now not only do I know, I love her.

This is bananas. Carrie Underwood has a ton of really good songs. This new theme is not one of them.

Ovechkin can focus on individual accolades that could put him well into the conversation as the greatest of all time.

There’s a massively spicy and confusing take in there... you wrap up by quite correctly pushing for DC to have more autonomy and home rule, but you’re calling a push by the DC Mayor to get control back over a massive piece of definitely-not-a-federal-goverment-building-so-why-the-fuck-do-the-feds-control-it land some…

Trashcan Lannister is the best one, that is not getting beat.

I actually love this, although I’d cut it to 15 years to get all these Hall-of-Very-Good guys into the Longevity Room. Because that way maybe hack writers won’t feel forced to put them in the actual motherfucking Hall of Fame.

Ughhhhhh the American aversion to irradiated products drives me nuts. Irradiation has been working wonders as a preservative in Europe for like... decades. It’s crazy. 

I realize this is commerce/sponsored, but for what it’s worth I bought this jacket a month ago based on the Kinja reccomendation and have been sorely disappointing. It’s got very poor waterproofing, a cheapo zipper that jams constantly (and according to reviews on Uniqlo’s website is likely to break off shortly), and…

I know you can sous vide pasteurize the eggs first, but is there a way to sterilize the flour without cooking it if your goal is to produce edible uncooked cookie dough? Asking for me. And mah face. which loves cookie dough.

Not to add to the commentators who have already pointed out that this case is in federal court, but in federal jurisdiction, under the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, there is no parole, no commutation unless the President commutes your sentence, etc. You’d get credit for days of incarceration served pre-sentencing,…

Yeah the American criminal justice system has its flaws, to say the least. The only crime completely reserved to the federal government is treason; as a practical matter, certain crimes are effectively reserved to the feds as well (things like counterfeiting, which is handled under Congress’ authority to coin money).…

Honestly, without all the facts, not really. It was probably politics or convenience. It’s both a state and federal crime and we have dual sovereignty; the state can charge you itself. We also have a prohibition against double jeopardy, meaning you can’t be charged twice for the same crime (although historically that…

I kind of hope McDonalds responds by blocking this on their wifi. 

I don’t know if you did it on purpose or subconsciously, but I appreciate that you fixed the singular-plural disagreement issue. 

This. All this. So many this. They need to add this to the main post. 

It looks like any drunken bar fight until he turned back and kicked her while she was down. That’s the ugliest part.

Men hitting women is bad, and Hunt’s actions in the video should be condemned.

I don’t have the data on hand to support this but I think the implication was that the off-the-dribble shots are contested at a significantly higher rate, and that the catch-and-shoot shots have a better chance of being open, or barely/poorly defended (especially coming off a screen).

I have absolutely no idea why it would be true that working at Trillium looks good on the resume. But the author presents it as accepted evidence, then bases the argument of why its a problem on it, so it seems like it should be considered.

That term... does not mean what you appear to think it means. Here is the evidence the author presented in the early paragraph of that section:
