One more thing: This is all really good advice.

Also a Knicks fan, and I expect the disappointment with Ntiklina is a Knicks problem. Not saying he’s a future MVP candidate, but I think he’s talented and would flourish on a competent team.  He’d be a *real* nice piece on a title contender.

I’d rather live near a AA or AAA team than a MLB team. Good baseball and a fun environment at a fraction of the price.

I don’t know that it’s hate so much the common Republican tenet of poverty as moral failure. 100% of poor people are poor because they are dumb and/or lazy, and doing anything that helps them only rewards and reinforces people doing dumb and lazy.  This means (in their minds) it’s not about hating those people, but…

They shoulda thought of that before they decided to not be millionaires.

I hear you on the height thing. I’m 6'6" and it causes some mechanical problems. It’s always been difficult for me to do a squat correctly because of my long legs. So I do gauntlet squats and leg press. I suppose front squats would work, too, but gauntlets have been working for me (and I can do them even if the squat…

Absolutely. I’m getting older and don’t recover like I used to. I’d rather modify it an exercise, or even skip than push it and be out for 4 weeks.

Yeah. I don’t understand how telling companies they *can’t* follow higher standards is any less intrusive than telling them they *must* follow higher standards.  Makes my brain hurt.

You know, it’s almost like they didn’t think this through.

You see: he didn’t tweet, which ... yeah, I’m grasping at straws here, too.

No, racism is an anarcho-syndicalist commune. They take it in turns to act as a sort of executive racist for the week.

This is squarely in the category of: What did you think was going to happen?

One other variation I’d add is, as appropriate for the relationship, is just be with me. If you can’t get me to go out, stay in with me. Don’t let me isolate myself.

Yes. To points in the article, and to your comment.

You’re fine. She’s just the sort that bends the Bible to mean what she wants it to mean. The scary thing is she probably didn’t come up with that herself. She She’s just the one saying it out loud in public instead of Bible study.

Here’s where we see the comical hypocrisy of the today’s GOP. They will be calling for her expulsion without a hint of irony. If she were Republican, they’d be downplaying or ignoring it — based solely on whether there is a (D) or (R) after her name. Today’s GOP: Right and wrong are defined by whether you vote a way I…

Anyone criticizing Luck has simply not been in that situation. I instantly lost whatever lingering respect I may have had for Gottlieb for how aggressively stupid that take was. I wasn’t close to Luck’s level, and never would have been, but I had to make the same decision. My body quit before my potential ran out.

Total newbie/dumb question. Is this is kind of bike that would be good for a tall (6-7) rider? I’ve read to start with a smaller bike, but I’m tall with long legs, and I’m afraid I’ll look like a Shriner on a smaller bike. (And I don’t need any help looking ridiculous.)

I wasn’t so much giving advice as agreeing with yours. Sounds like you’re already on it.

Absolutely. What is it they say? An amateur practices until they get it right; a pro practices until they can’t get it wrong. That definitely takes what you described.
