Still better than anthropomorphized dancing rodents.

The NBA released the last two minute report for last night’s game. For the record, they say the officials made the correct (blocking) call.

The only people whose opinion matter called it a block because in their opinion, LeBron wasn’t set in time. Of course, when the NBA gets it together and does the official 2-min review (not that it matters), we’ll see whether the higher-ups concur.

Per the NBA.com website (emphasis mine)

My best time was in the high teens (around 18-19s). There are basically two things that make it difficult: 1. Moving one body part causes another part to move, which prevents a “set” starting position for each step 2. the mechanics between the left and right legs are different (I believe because one is slightly…

So what can be done? It’s not like the refs didn’t call fouls on the Warriors at all. (22 on Warriors, 17 on Rockets) It’d also be irrational to think that only fouls by the Warriors were missed. Supposed the refs do call those fouls (and for the record, the data from NBA official 2-minute reviews show that many…

I totally support the idea of DICE releasing a version without woman and minorities. For accuracy and realism and stuff. For those same reasons, that version should also have perma-death. You die in the game, the screen goes black and the computer shuts down. Permanently. It should also block the user from ever going…

You lost me at bacon.

Isn’t this the same effect one observes when using compressed air dusters? I can’t be the only one who has noticed the can turning cold after a few blasts, think it could be used for chilling things, then disregard it because it seems so wasteful when there are better methods.

This is pretty neat, and kudos to the developers for doing it. I just hope the location isn’t potentially dangerous to get to, so it doesn’t create problems like that Fenn treasure. But given the effort put into this creating this puzzle, should you and the Redditor have posted the actual coordinates? Wouldn’t it be…

Wouldn’t that be manslaughter and not murder? (Getting tired of all the articles here using “murder” to describe things that are not murder)

It’s the SHANGHAI Grand Prix. So no. The only reason someone would wear a MAGA hat there is if they got one for free from a relative working at the factory making the hats and doesn’t understand what the words mean.

So she and her commission came up with a series of actionable items....

She looks like she’s ready to seal some cards.....and Tomoyo is probably behind the camera. (The correct usage of the term, “behind the camera”, btw.)

Why is the head-first slide is so common now? When I was a kid we were taught to always go feet first and never head-first. The main point of the slide is to help stop at the base, and it’s much safer to brace your foot (which is accustomed to supporting the whole body weight) on the base than your hands. Head-first…

Almost as soon as I clicked published I realize I left out Davis. In my defense, though, I don’t think of him as having the same ability as the others in ball handling, passing, and being the initiator on offense. Cousins is reputed to be the better passer (of the two) and gets more assists.

For all the talk about how other players have surpassed James or are more deserving of the MVP, I can’t help but marvel that James remains the most complete basketball player. Possibly in history. He has the strength and speed to play and to defend all 5 positions. He can score every which way: long distance (maybe…

Haven’t watched Infinity War, but already know the ending. Not surprised by it, and it reaffirms my decision not to see it in theater. I just can’t invest my time and energy in Marvel and DC when deaths and resurrections are so frequent and all the retcons make following the continuity a hassle. I don’t want to invest…

I still remember when I first watched Castle in the Sky. I was 7 at the time. I followed that with Totoro. I know I also watched Nausicca around that time, but that didn’t stick with me like the others. For a long time, Whisper of the Heart was my favorite, but when I rewatched Ocean Waves in my late twenties I had a…

I was in the game business for just under 2 years as a contractor. For most of the year, we got the normal 40-hour weeks. Then about two months before a shipping deadline, the work gets ramped up and the hours go insane: 15-16 hours days for 7 days a week for those two months. But after the deadline, the team would…
