I mean, if you want to get technical, organic describes any compound containing carbon, therefore plastic is organic.

My favorite takedown of organic agriculture was the organic episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullshit! I don’t know if it’s available online anywhere. I think Bullshit! originally aired on Showtime.

Running shoes can be pretty bad for things like deadlift and squats, especially as you add more weight. You’re better off doing those type of exercises barefoot than in the wrong shoe. I scoffed when a trainer and crossfit addicted friend told me this, but I tried it. They were right.

Reminder: organic is a mostly meaningless marketing term.

Not at all. See, by requiring that animals be allowed outside to make contact with soil/vegetation where there could be contaminants carried by insects, birds, or other environmental factors ensures that... no banned synthetic chemicals can get into their system.... Wait, something seems off here... Shit. No, you were…

I can’t remember who said it, someone on Izzy and Spain, but the East looks liki it was picked by people who have been watching games all season, and the West looks like it was picked based on preseason popularity.

So you’re saying Westbrook’s almost twice as many assists per game isn’t getting his team involved?

It’s not fake, it’s scripted!

Large market + lots of media coverage + back to back finals (one of which they blew a 3-1 lead) = more bandwagon fans voting

I’d say Har*en, but this kind of exhibition is perfect for him since you really don’t want guys playing tough defense.

Not on any of the airlines I’ve flown recently, unless you’re talking about exit row or extra legroom/upgrade seats.

Changing diapers in turbulence is an adventure. My favorite are the Southwest planes that only have a changing table in the front lav, you know, the one they tell you not to line up and wait for.

Five years ago I’d be right there with you. I could get by a week with a backpack that fits under the seat. With kids though, that backpack barely fits the “necessities” they need for just the flight.

Sadly, that’s probably what will happen. Prices won’t drop, they’ll just inflate the regular tickets to make this look cheaper.

I would much rather board last, especially if the flight is over 5 hours. If possible, I wouldn’t mind standing outside the door and being the last one on. Now days, I have a kid though. That…

WestJet sounds awful. They really want $50 for assigned seats and $25 per bag?

Free checked bags on Southwest is almost enough of a reason to look into them. The no assigned seats thing is annoying though.

Jesus Christ, that first link:

From all appearances, his teammates get along pretty well with him. It could all just for show, but from his twitter account, Kanter seems to love playing with Russ.

Also, can confirm Russ sightings out among the people in town. I’ve seen him at restaurants and such a couple times, and I only pass through OKC once or…

GTFOH with this nuanced discussion and understanding of the economy and 2008 collapse.
