I see some commenters in the grays suggesting that this is a communist or socialist plan, but it most certainly is a plan that can only work under capitalism.  Nothing about this plan suggests public ownership of a company’s stock, but instead outlines restrictions on private ownership of publicly traded stock -- it’s…

Lego is owned by the Lego Group.  The games have been published by a number of different publishers, including Warner Brothers and Disney.

It was a guard and he didn’t make the Pro Bowl. 

It went from a 70 terajoule storm to a 100 terajoule storm before landfall, because of a much larger wind field and therefore a larger storm surge. It’s not unusual for the wind field to greatly expand when it weakens, usually due to a failed eyeball replacement cycle. Hence when the hurricane “weakened” you got more…

All of those offensive decisions I described do have to be implemented on a season-long basis because it requires a significant amount of off-season training to prepare a team to run a specific offense.  A more tactical decision would be to target an aggressive cornerback with double moves in a game where you predict…

In this case they’re not giving a description that would suggest anything about Taggart’s strategy. Is the base of his offense a veer option from spread formations, or is it lead blocking from the I formation? Do they build the game around play action passing or do they run when they have favorable blocking? That…

Could be an abuse situation, with him working to exert that last little bit of control over her. 

Some are stubborn and don’t really have a lot of trust in the weather reports, which if you look at how Fox News reacts to these storms isn’t much of a surprise.  Others have no means of escape -- no reliable transportation, no money for temporary shelter, and nobody willing to take them in.

They determined she would have survived had she received timely medical intervention, which could not reach her because of the storm. 

He was 78. Natural selection would have caused his demise before he had a chance to pass on his genetic material. Whatever defects you think his genes may have (and how much have they degraded in 78 years?) they’ve already been passed down. 

My assumption is they discovered evidence of foreign espionage.

Maybe he needs to try finding different commuting routes or making his own lunches or something.

I don’t know that I would consider Dutchess County upstate.  It’s in the NYC MSA and is served by Metro North.

I think Teachout did better upstate because lives upstate and is from rural Vermont, which might as well be upstate New York from a culture standpoint.  I feel like Nixon consciously focused on the city because she had such a small chance of success upstate, and got trounced there because Cuomo is extremely good at…

She had a better percentage of voters upstate, actually. New York runs a closed primary and a good portion of upstate voters are registered Republicans. Nixon's comparative popularity upstate puts a number on the support for progressive candidates by upstate Democratics. 

This, combined with his troublesome record on guns (while Gillibrand has moved toward gun control as she shifted to represent a more diverse constituency, Bernie hasn’t shifted) and some energy policy positions that could be a big boon to natural gas make me generally negative on Bernie as a progressive national…

One thing that stuck out to me was that Nixon’s campaign attributed her loss in part to extremely high turnout throughout the state.  It looks strange to me to suggest that she lost because more people participated in the election.  Usually if you lose big to an incumbent you’d look at voter suppression as a possible…

Yeah my wife thinks it’s a blessing.

I had this earlier this year, and apparently it’s worse when you’re an adult. The sore throat made it difficult to eat, while the blisters on my hands made it hard to hold anything. I couldn’t feel the ones on my feet as much but they caused my calluses to start peeling off. It’s been a month now and I’m still having…
