There’s got to be a line, of course. You shouldn’t send your kids to a death trap like this, but today’s parents do seem to want to wrap their kids in bubble wrap so they never get hurt, which is also bad. My mother was not negligent by any means, but I still got hurt often, thankfully never grievously though I have…

Are you new here or something?   This is like bread and butter to most of us.

Necco had only occupied the Revere facility since 2003 or so. Before that, their very famous location was in Cambridge near MIT in a plant they’d occupied since the 1920's. Many a funky but pleasant smell emanated from within. When Spangler bought the equipment, I wondered how such old machinery could survive the trave…

You are very literally describing science. Test and create the best information anyone has to make decisions. Continue testing to recreate results and validate or inform a better understanding.

Looks like Peterson finally learned not to go for the switch.

Say what you want about the ‘Skins, but they managed to knock Brady out of the game in the 4th quarter.

I’m not sure what the owner’s net worth has to do anything. That suggests the finances of the team are commingled with the personal funds of the owner. Here’s a better reason to keep Betts.
