I used to work the 11pm to 7am shift at a convenience store. At 7am, when I got off, there was one bar in town that was open and sometimes I’d have a couple of beers with my co-workers. There as always a group of guys, mostly in construction, who were having their first beer, vodka, or whiskey of the day before…

Batman would find a way to beat Superman, mentally, physically, or psychologically.

The idea of a Batman vs Superman fight is stupid to begin with. Superman could kill Batman from orbit by dropping a ceramic bowl on Bruce Wayne’s head without ever coming within, literally, a thousand miles of him.

Fun fact! The scientific name of the western lowland gorilla is, in fact, Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

I think that’s much more broadly true - I have two laptops running Windows, an older dual core 2.33 with 16GB RAM and a newer quad core 2.5 with only 4GB memory, and the older one runs circles around the new one even for everyday stuff like web browsing.

The comments on this post prove pretty conclusively that Bucks fans are the biggest douchebags in American sports.

Several years ago, I spent a year abroad in Florence, trying desperately not to be recognized as an American.

It’s a valid philosophical question, whether bad calls that don’t change anything are really bad calls.

They were hanged, though. Witches and sorcerers were hanged. It was heresy that got you burned.

I never had terribly strong feelings about air conditioning either way, but given Magary’s taste when it comes to other things, I’m going to plant myself on the safe side of this argument.

Windows is really dumb.* In this case, what’s most likely happening is that the operating system and possibly the stick’s internal hardware controller have ‘buffered’ actually writing changes to the disk, which means it hasn’t actually written the changes at all, simply held them in memory. It may have done this for a…

Each state’s laws differ on these things in materially signficant ways, which makes me wonder - what happens if a woman from Ohio meets a man from Massachusetts in New York, gives birth in Pennsylvania, and then moves to New Jersey and sues for child support? Whose laws apply?

Cheating has nothing to do with it. Technically the child support is paid to child as it’s the child’s right to support from both parents, NOT the right of the parent with physical custody to receive money. A contract surrendering the woman’s right to support in the event of a child would be void because it’s not her…

Presumably she knew about the other guy she had sex with during her cycle, but only went after the one for child support.

It wasn’t a dive in the sense that he wasn’t touched and is trying to make it look like a foul, but he’s clearly flopping on purpose. The place on his stomach that he grabs isn’t even where the guy hit him. In the grand scheme of things it’s not a huge deal, it’s a clear foul anyway, but let’s also not pretend Messi…

I think you overstate what reputation means in this business. Everyone inside the league knew what a racist Donald Sterling was but nobody did anything until it became a public relations problem. If the Kings renege on the deal there will be a big fuss in the media when the commentators and sports talk show hosts go…

No, but scarcity sets up high demand. If they are somewhat rare it guarantees people buying titles on launch day just to get one, because they are “collectible”.

I am honestly confused as to why the Sixers even bother at this point. Having cap space now is great, but at the unspecified future point where all their long-term planning comes to fruition, they’ll still be stuck with the same cap as everybody else. Even if they manage to lock down the top 5 draft picks in 2018,…

I agree, and I think Klinsmann knew it, too. Far from being a leader, Donovan was going to complain no matter what. If he’d gotten the nod but not started, he’d complain about that. If he started and got worn out early, he’d say that he’s being misused and Klinsmann should have given him a different role.
