No jokes. The link may not reference the modern use of pulling ones self up by the bootstraps as being adapted to computers, but that is where the term booting up comes from. And it was adapted specifically because the modern usage is that of accomplishing a task from scratch all by ones self.

How is it you’re able to write comments here from where you are in the 1920s? The shift in meaning is total; and no school system on earth should waste a second of anyone’s time to elaborate on extinct meanings of modern colloquialisms. Today we have the use of the term to describe the iterative and interdependent way…

This ended too soon. He’s following a tried and true progression.

Oh Lord, I haven’t seen his picture before. All I can think of is he needs to be stink palmed while eating chocolate pretzels at the mall during his TV show’s taping.

I’m sorry Lauren, are 100 percent sure that’s not actually Erik Karlsson?

Mick Jenkins...

I love watching Tampa’s 94 slowly descend into legging it out to look good as he runs out of gas in the first 30 yards... only for Samuel to reverse feild back towards him just has he decides to give up. I feel like I can hear him recognize he’s now tape session fodder. That poor fuckers whole week is gonna be filled…

I have no clue why you pulled a graphic for a ballistic weapon for this, that’s super odd. BrahMos is a cruise missile with a ceiling of 15 Km, and can maintain hypersonic cruise while sea skimming “120 km range when using Lo-altitude sea-skimming profile”, which is a short 2 min flight @ Mach 3

A chance the read up, and think about why the similarly negative potrayal of white men and Indian men in media has different meaning and consequence for each group. The extant prejudices against Indian men negatively effect myriad facets of thier lives, especially when compounded by the inequalities immigrants and POC …

Sea-skimming at 3 to 4 meters, doing mach 3, soon to be mach 5. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrahMos?wprov=sfla1

It’s precisely why Deadspin exists; to fuck with people that dictate to others from on high in a fasion that craven, corrupt, and oblivious. The entire point of this site, this author’s job, his oeuvre, and his bosses are so blind to it all they foist a shill job for caviar on him, is such a beautiful confluence. How c…

Not till halfway through the third quarter he won’t. #thebillsway

The single best defensive player in the league is Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack and JJ Watt want to have a talk with him about that, but there isn’t anyone on the Broncos roster that gets to be in that conversation. Heck even Joey Bosa and Fletcher Cox may be superior defenders than Von Miller at this point.

I mean... ya. I’m pretty satisfied. Spent even. Gonna grab a quick nap, thanks John, that was some quality Helmet.

There isn’t one for that, you’re just stuck that way now cause the Leafs keep teasing you to the edge and then quitting at the last second.

No. 

Hip thrust celebration? That’s him pantomiming rape, right? Like if feels perversely sexual, and given the context, eye context, and throat slash, he is full on insinuating sexual violence.

Get off our lawn!

This is kinda interesting and all Dom, if a bit amaturish. How do you write this article and failed to address the truely important issue at hand? Is Joe Flaco elite?

Good God I hope this is you trolling,or at least willful ignorance about your homelamd’s past. Not only is the comment you responded to correct, it’s wildly understated.
